Sony’s Playstation 3 80GB UK

I recently bought a Playstation 3 80GB fromPlay.com. It came with Playstation 3 80GB Console, I AM LEGEND blu-ray DVD, Need For Speed Undercover, Little Big Planet and a Sony Official Blu-Ray remote! It came to a total cost of £299.99 and free delivery. It also came with a Dual Shock 3 sixaxis controller! I also bought two sixaxis controllers from Zavvi earlier this week for £40.

Playstation 3 80GB console

In the box of the console there is…Playstation 3 80GB Console, AV cables, AV to Scart adapter, Dual Shock 3 Sixaxis controller, USB controller charger, Manuals and a power lead. Specifications of the Playstation 3 80GB Console… 80GB Hard Drive, 2x USB Ports, 1x HDMI port, 1x Ethernet port, 1x AV Output, 1x Optical port, Bluetooth and WIFI. Costs around £300.

Need For Speed Undercover

It is the newest NFS out; it’s not the best racing game I have played. But still a really good game! It has a lot of cars including… 2006 Cadillac CTS-V, Chevrolet Camaro SS, Chevrolet Camaro Concept, Chevrolet Chevelle SS, Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Challenger Concept, Dodge Charger R/T, Dodge Charger SRT-8 Super Bee, Dodge Viper SRT10, Ford Escort Cosworth, Ford Focus ST, Ford GT, Ford Mustang GT, Plymouth HEMI Cuda, Pontiac GTO, Pontiac Solstice GXP, Shelby GT500, Shelby GT500KR and many more. The game is based in the Tri-City bay. Costs around £30 to £50.

Little Big Planet

Little Big Planet is one of the best games I have ever played, you are a customised Sackboy! You can play, make and share levels. In some levels you race each other and other levels you just run through and see how many points you can get and the one with the most points wins! Its so Pointless and unrealistic but fun! Game costs around £30 to £40.

I Am Legend Blu-Ray DVD

Will Smith portrays that lone survivor in I Am Legend, the action epic fusing heart pounding excitement with a mind blowing vision of a desolated Manhattan. Some how immune to an unstoppable, incurable virus, military virologist Robert Neville (Smith) is now the last human survivor in New York City and maybe the world. £20 to £25.

Sony Official Blu-Ray remote

It’s a very handy remote to have as it is a Bluetooth remote made especially for the Playstation 3 it works on all models 20GB, 40GB, 60GB, 80GB and 160GB I use it on my 60GB Playstation 3. Costs around £17 to £20.

Dual Shock 3

The Dual Shock 3 is a Playstation 3 Sixaxis remote that vibrates; it costs around £30 to £40. There is not much difference in the Dual Shock 3 remote and the normal Sixaxis remote the sixaxis remote. For two sixaxis remotes in Zavvi it is £40 and for one Dual Shock 3 remote it is £35!

Overview

I really enjoy playing my Playstation 3, I bought it for a Blu-Ray player and a Blu-ray player is around £250 and a Playstation 3 80GB Console is £299.99. So I thought I might as well get a games console for £50 extra! I’m also getting an Xbox 360 Elite at Christmas! I already had an Xbox 360 20GB but then I got 3 red rings so I decided to save for an Xbox 360 Elite so I will hopefully have it around Christmas time!

There's a lot of lists of specs and bits from games and films, but very little on your actual experiences with or opinions of the console.

Well presented, nice review.

mr_mlk 25.11.2008 21:30

Some more information on the device would have been good. Did you use its only features? Is the dashboard easy to use?
