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 ...

Advantages: The graphics,game ranges and ease of use
Disadvantages: the lenses have been known to go or won't play discs

I have owned my playstation 2 for 5 years now and it has never let me down! The graphics are great, the range of games are good although they are becoming scarce now due to the PS3 release. The control pads are easy to use and the console is easy to operate. I would say these consoles are suitable from age 3+ as you many games are for that age range. You are also able to connect to the internet and play online with others which is brilliant especially ... Read review

Advantages: Longs good, Light Weight and Good Price
Disadvantages: May have to order and wait for Memory card

I gotthis as christas present fro someone as the price was very very good. You can get the PS 2 almost everywhere now but it was very hard to find the silver version.

...chose on and i got a simpsons game and a car racing game. Other games they were offering were fifa football and a fighting game. The onl down side to having the playstation 2 in silver is that the memory cards are limited, nearly everywhere has sold out. So if you do buy this in silver be aware you may need to order a memory card with a long wait! ... Read review

Advantages: Addictive great graphics for the day
Disadvantages: Always waiting on load times.

Really I keep this unit more for nostalgia as it is no longer needed with Playstations backward compatability and it's graphics are old and dated and the games are only 32 bit compared to the systems of today. But when this baby came out it was a show stopper, the games were addictive, large and thought out, sprawling maps to explore great graphics and sound and a revolutionary controller. I have had the exact same playstation one working since ...
...much now it is still turned on to be played when friends are over and it's still running as faithfully as ever. The PS one can be found in stores for extremely cheap now, and though games are harder to find I would suggest for all game enthusiasts to buy one just to say you have a part of gaming history. ...

Advantages: The most original console ever
Disadvantages: battery powered controllers

...PS3, XBOX 360 & a Nintendo Wii and the Wii is the best by far. Where it lacks in graphics it more than makes up for in originality and gameplay not only that but its the cheapest out of all 3 consoles as well. The best thing about the Wii is the games that are made for it. PS3 and XBOX 360 games are visually impressive but they're more for serious gamers. Wii games are great for involving people that normally dont play video games. Take my wife ... Read review
