Advantages: graphics, games, online, controller, support, style Disadvantages: higher cost than other consoles
Sony Playstation 3 is the best console on the market. The graphics are amazing, especially with a hd tv. There is a wide range of games available for the console and a number of accessories to make the whole experience as fun as possible. The hard drive is big enough for all the game files you could possibly need, with room for some music, photos and movies aswell. Online play is simple to use, and free, and is great fun. Days can be lost playing online as every game is different and interesting. The controllers are brilliant, ergonomical and light, and the battery life lasts a long time before more charging is required. All in all, the Sony Playstation 3 is an awesome games console, highly recommended. ...
Advantages: Nice Classy Design, Great Graphics, and a Good Online Disadvantages: Small Gamelist Thus Far and Some Games Suffer From Framerate and Graphical Pop-Up Issues
Sony's Playstation 3 is thier third go around in the Video Game business. My console reviews usually consist of reviews in the following categories Controller, Graphics, Multiplayer/Online, and Game Library. Much like the Xbox 360, i'll also be reviewing the Design of the PS3.
The design of the PS3 is the more classy of the three new consoles. The PS3 is a black square system with a curved top. While the design is beautiful, this system is very big, matching the 360 in terms of size. The system also offers Blu-ray but, in my opinion, that should not be the only reason you should be spending $400-500 on this system.
The PS3's controller is the classic Playstation controller once again and that shouldn't be a problem for any gamer. The original PS3 controller was the Sixaxis but is now Dualshock 3. For a company that created ...
Advantages: Performance graphically, looks Disadvantages: not enough content to justify price
down by lack of games and content for the console. Many games have been delayed and the most eagerly awated games such as GT5 and GTA4 (the reasons i bought the console) will not be seen until next year!!! Although Sony market the console as a multi-media centre, lets face it, it is a games machine and is let down at the moment. I have no doubt that this will improve however for the forseeable year at least I am dissappointed with a (al be it) good Blu Ray player (though discs are very expensive) with poor options for video and audio play back and the worst internet browser i have seen. This is why I have only given it 4 stars, until the content is there it is most definetly in my eyes not excellent. Sony take notice... try harder! ...

Manufacturer's product description
The Sony's HXD HDD/DVD recorders go well beyond simply recording TV. In fact each has the potential to become a digital content hub in the living room. The wealth of inputs on offer makes it an easy matter to connect digital cameras, Handycam with a DV output and USB flash drives, so you can build up libraries of photos, personal video and music on the hard drive. You can view pictures and video directly on the TV screen and listen to music via the TV or other connected audio equipment, or even print your photos directly using a PictBridge-compatible printer.
