United States has been split in two by the "Great Flood." As a result of the polar ice cap melting the Mississippi River has destroyed the central portion of the United States causing an ill-equipped Federal Government to fail and literally cut the country in half. These two halves are left to fend for themselves in the aftermath. The East now known as the Atlantic Alliance symbolic of their union with Europe puts its faith in surviving this new world in cybernetics an established yet evolving technology now more than 150 years old. On the other side of the flooded continent the Western states now called the Republic of Pacifica and having allied with Asia resort to solving their problems at the genetic level effectively restructuring the DNA of its inhabitants - a method the Atlantic Alliance finds morally reprehensible.

Advantages: Stylish, good games available + lots more on the way, blu ray Disadvantages: No HD cable in the box, no rumble, limited BC
...a tough act to follow. Sony are clearly not worried as according to their marketing the PS3 is a "supercomputer" and is capable of "4D" graphics, with such bold claims I had to pick one up for myself and see if it was true!
Unboxing
The first thing you will notice about the PlayStation 3 box is that it's huge! The Xbox 360 had a rather large box but this is incredible being about 1.5x as big. The box design itself is worth a mention as it is pretty ... ...the box, being touted by Sony as the only "true" HD console this is really disappointing and requires you to go out and spend an extra £20 on a HDMI or component cable. Furthermore the Sixaxis wireless controller has no rumble, which you really miss especially in driving games and shooters, due to Sonys lawsuit with Immersion, thankfully this has been resolved and we've been promised a DualShock 3 but that means even more money but if you haven't ...

...the set date. And then Sony delivered the devastating news. The Playstation 3 would not arrive in Europe until March 2007. Oh yeah sure it was still going to be November 17th for America and Japan, but what about us all here in Europe!!!!!!!!
The reason why the date had been put back for another four months was "the delay in the mass production schedule of the blue laser diode within the Sony Group, thus affecting the timely procurement of key components ... ...tray this time. This time, Sony have designed a suck in disc slot. You insert the disc into the slot, and the PS3 will suck it in, press the button on the console, and it will come out, imagine a floppy drive tray, but much more stylish and sleek. I think that this is a great looking part of the console, and is much better than a flimbsy disc tray coming out of the console every time.
Another thing you will notice when using the console are the ...

...can also fail miserably. Sony have tried to go completely wireless with this console and I must admit that having a wireless controller is a massive bonus, but the downside is they're so expensive at around £35 a shot. On the plus side, you don't have to pay for batteries as there is a USB cable that attaches to the controller and PS3 which charges the controller if it starts to run down. Also, if you'd rather stick with your old PS2 controllers, ... ...3rd party and not official Sony products so some shops don't know about them - we got ours at GameStation). The minus side to using the old PS2 controllers is when it comes to the SixAxis (6-axis) functionality. The PS3 controllers have a motion sensor called SixAxis (also a palndrome :) ), so as well as the usual controller funtions (analog stick, buttons etc) you get to tilt and twist the controller and if the game has for that functionality then ...

Sony Playstation 3 (60 GB)
At last the pinnacle of next generation gaming is finally upon us. Or is it? Maybe so, but have we not seen all this already? Sony's new games console the Playstation 3 or more commonly known as the PS3 was finally released across the European Union and Australia as well as the other PAL region 2 compatible countries on Friday 23rd March. With up to 300,000 units available at launch it was unlikely that the PS3, which ... ...I think for once Sony got it right.
Microsoft have already scratched the surface in the next generation stakes as their console the Xbox 360 delivers awesome power as well as introducing high definition compatible graphics and reconstructing the Xbox Live structure to create a gaming community where you can now download demos, videos, music and classic games and if you are a Gold subscriber online multiplayer gaming. One of the slight bones of contention ...

The SIXAXIS is a wireless, lightweight controller for the PS3. However, it crucially lacks the rumble facility that has since been included in the newly released DUALSHOCK 3 controller.
For me, the SIXAXIS appears to have been a temporary controller...
