Sony Playstaion 3
Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) by MattUtd

Advantages: Built-in Bluray Player, Wireless Remotes as Standard, Quiter than XBox 360.
Disadvantages: Are there any? Don't think so.

I recently sold my XBox 360 as I desprately wanted to try a PS3. Having owned the previous Playstations I was not disappointed with my purchase. I was also looking for a Bluray player which at the time cost more than the PS3. This made my purchase even more worthwhile. My initial thoughts was that the PS3 is bigger than the XBox 360 but a lot more quiter. In fact, you barely know it's on. A bought the basic 40GB pack which I find more than sufficient. ...
...XBox 360 include: * Free Wireless Controllers as standard * Bluray Player Built-in. Cheaper than buying a stand alone player * Free online gaming compared to Microsoft's monthly/annual subscriptions * Built-in Hard-Drive * Nicer looking machince * Ability to switch console off as opposed to stand-by mode feature on XBox360 (Thinking of your carbon-footprint) As for the gaming capability, I can't really tell the difference between the 2 but ...

all round good console
Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 by luke.1234

Advantages: good graphics
Disadvantages: noise it makes

This is a great product with many features to play around with and many many games to please any type of gamer. With owning one of these products myself i know how great and amazing they can be but also know about some of their downfalls.First of all this console is great for all ages and the online play is spectacular but at the end of the day you have to pay for more such as a wireless adapter and xbox live and you will also have to payout for ...
...these things included for free.And i think that the last error is the noise.But as i read on wikipedia before buying mine the console is more reliable and less likely to break down if it came out afer july 07 because they would have been fitted with a new falcon chip.So my advice is if yo are going to get one always look at the date it came out at ...

Sony PSP
Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite by MattUtd

Advantages: Great portable media player. Ideal for Games & Movies
Disadvantages: Not so good as an MP3 player as a little bulky.

This is an ideal portable console/MP3 Player and MP4 Player for all. Since having the PSP I no longer find myself bored whilst on the train to work. I generally use it for gaming and watching movies. The gameplay/graphics are awesome for such a small device. The added bonus of the PSP is that you can switch it off and when you switch it back on again it allows you to play where you left off even if this is half way through a football match. As for ...
...have a large enough memory card, you can load MP4 files and watch movies on the go with the PSP. I don't really use the PSP as an MP3 player as it's a little too bulky for the pocket. I don't think this is the main benefit of the PSP but the option's there. I would recommend this to anyone who's travelling a lot and it combines all you need in a portable media player. ...

Just amazing...
Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite by spidercallum

Advantages: Great Graphics, Full HD, Xbox Live, Marketplace, Achievement Points (Gamerscore), DivX/AVI Playback
Disadvantages: Can't store anything but music on the harddrive

...instructions, you should be fine! Microsoft know of the matter, and the reason being is because in the original xbox, the design was to compact and they squished too much hardware in to too little space, causing it to overheat quickly and easily. The Elite was a little more thought about, and there haven't been as many reports as there was for the original design back in 2006. The only other problem I can really think off, is not being able to store ...
...not being able to put your own photos or videos on the xbox at all, which is a disappointment as the Elite comes with a massive 120gb hard drive. ""Overall:" Great price, amazing product, can't live life without one of these. It's solves my boredom, it saves me from having to have a dvd/divx player and it saves me from having to have a HD DVD Player. I forgot to mention the Achievements, you are awarded a total of 1000GS (Gamerscore) per retail ... Read review

Xbox 360 Halo 3 Limited Edition Console
Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Halo 3 Special Edition by plymouth117

Advantages: HDMI port, 20g HDD, exclusive Halo content
Disadvantages: HDMI cable not included

...the tube TV. *Summary* Microsoft have done extremely well with this console. Upon realizing that Halo 3 was going to be the same killer app (see first line) that the first Halo was for the orginal xbox they combined that foresight with the realization that they needed to both bridge the gap between 20g non-HDMI premium & the expensive HDMI ready 120g Elite. The Halo console includes Halo branding and customised design with the Elite's HDMI port ...
...of 360s rushed out by microsoft to beat Sony & Nintendo to the current gen console release mostly suffer from the Red Ring of Death, but the Halo 3 edition is less likely to suffer from this as it was released at a later time. Good luck and hope to see you in a Halo 3 ranked slayer online - my gamer tag is the same as my Ciao tag!! :D *Extras summary* Halo 3 Special Edition Console Halo 3 Special Edition Wireless Controller Halo 3 Special Edition ...
