PS3 slim

Advantages: Blu-ray, free online, nice extras like vidzone & iplayer. Almost silent operation
Disadvantages: Rubbish controller, still expensive, online nowhere near as good as xbox live

...Well, had the slim for a few weeks now (my 1st ever playstation), personally, I'm a little underwhelmed by it, I've been a gamer since the nintendo game & watch days & owned @ least 1 of the current gen consoles since the Mega Drive(Genesis). Graphically the system has the potential to wipe the floor with the 360, but this is really only going to apply to PS3 exclusives as any software house making a multi-platform game is going to be as cost effective (lazy) as possible & use the same graphics on all the games where possible(ok, they need to dumb them down for the Wii). My problem here is that I have yet to get a game for it that runs in 1080P, they all seem to be in 720P! Why???? I'm sure they are out there, but I haven't found one yet. I guess this is down to most HD tv's being HD ready rather than Full HD. Sound-Yeah, ok...

The 3.2 Megapixel Camera Phone...

Advantages: Top Camera And Very Stylish...
Disadvantages: Nothing To Say...

...My mate has had this phone since christmas and thinks its th best phone he has had yet. The phone itself is very stylish and is made by one of the top mobile phone making companies sony ericsson where all top phones come from. He really love the 3.2 megapixel camera as we went on a trip to liverpool so he took some pictures and they were superb. He also loves that the phone has bluetooth so we can send songs to each other free of charge. The phoine itself has a wide range of features for example it wicked 3g calling to all his mates, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and xenon flash as well as 16x zoom. Also we like to rap which is good as the phone has a voice recorder. We also think its really good as it has an mp3 player so when he is on his way to college he can listen to his favourite tracks or watch his favourite videos...

Review of Sony Ericsson K800i Cyber-shot

3.2 Megapixel Camera?!

Advantages: Fantastic image quality, good overall performance, nice stereo bluetooth audio
Disadvantages: Limited internal memory, quite easy to use, joystick can become quite dodgy

...Background - Although its a successor to its predecessor, the K750i it has a 3.2 megapixel camera with Xenon Flash, a burst mode and photo blogging! Imaging - The k800i shoots exceptionally great still pictures with its autofocus and accurate colours. It may not take fantastic pictures in poorly lit conditions but is quite decent with its xenon flash. There is minimal defficiency between each shot take and its high resolution screen. There's also the fact of the BestPic burst mode which snaps 9 stills over a span of a second! It also has photo blogging which hassle free of posting to Google's blogger service, sharing and printing is quite straightforward. Calling - Although its signal reception is a tad bit ideal, it handles video and audio superbly, including its loudspeaker with good bluetooth support and fast camera switching...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

PS3, for you and me?

Advantages: Stylish, good games available + lots more on the way, blu ray
Disadvantages: No HD cable in the box, no rumble, limited BC

...The PlayStation 3 is Sonys third generation of home consoles. After the stellar performance of the PlayStation 2 and launch of its two rivals the Wii and Xbox 360 the PS3 has 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 neat and the front has a picture of the console floating with the wireless sixaxis controller on a black and red background. On the bottom left hand side you will see the model you have purchased which will be either...

Sony Playstation 3 (PS3)

Advantages: Best Entertainment System Avaliable, Region free games only
Disadvantages: 4GB file limitation External Storage, Cant read NTFS

...I am going to be reviewing possibly one of the biggest console in the market currently the PS3. Firstly I have one and it is great, now let's take a look at it in detail: LAUNCH November 11, 2006: This is when it debut in Japan November 17, 2006: It released in North America March 23, 2007: Finally was released in Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and New Zealand. The UK launch was a shock for who went to it, as it was announced that everyone in the queue would receive a 46" Sony Bravia TV worth £2000. The launches did not turn out great for Sony as initial figures were low, here are the figures below: Worldwide: 5.59 Million - Japan 1,341,000 - North America 2,105,500 - Other 1,300,000 The launch was initially supposed to be as follows: November 11th for Japan and November 17th for North America...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Playstation 3

Advantages: Graphics, playability, blu-ray player!
Disadvantages: None

...I have been umming and arring over which colsole to buy, the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. I had heard a lot of positive things about the Xbox, and I had also heard that graphics wise and gaming wise the Xbox was slightly better than the Playstation 3. However, I eventually decided to go for the Playstation 3 for several reasons. Firstly, and probably mainly, was because of the recent decision to cancel production of the HD-DVD format (a format which the Xbox 360 is developed to play), meaning that the Blu-Ray dvd format ( a format that the Playstation 3 is developed to play) will dominate the High Definition DVD market in the near future. Secondly, last year, the PS3's Blu-ray DVD player was voted best High Definition DVD player on the market. A DVD player that would have set you back over £250 to buy on it's own, but by buying...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Playstation 3

Advantages: Cheap Blu-Ray player, great graphics, free wifi, internet browser
Disadvantages: Expensive, some games are better on 360, 40 GB model doesn't have backwards compatability

...There are probably 3 categories of consumer: (1) Gamers with a HD TV who are also quite interested in the multimedia/blue ray angle. (2) Serious gamers either without a HD TV or who are not interested in high def for films etc.. (3) HD TV/ multimedia people who are not that interested in games. If you are in (1) or (3) categories then this is a bargain at the moment. One of the cheapest/best blue ray players with constant support. Now upscales dvds and supports divx etc.. Supports the very latest version of blu ray and is future proof. Sony can not afford to have this fail and the constant updates are great and frequent. Also of advantage (over other systems) are: Low failure rate, built in wifi (even on 40 gb model), no external plug, no external hd-dvd (blu ray built in), no annual online fees. It also looks good underneath tv...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Playstation 3

Advantages: Great graphics and choice of games
Disadvantages: expensive

...I got one last year for Christmas and found it to be better than my XBox 360 in almost every area, in my opinion this truly is the best games console on the market and would recommend it to anyone who is into their gaming. The graphics are phenomenal and the range of games available is tremendous! I find the controllers are much easier and more comfortable to use than the other consoles on the market today i.e. xbox 360s controller has no area for the hands to get a grip of and is quite frankly annoying especially when using after the playstation 3, the rechargable controller function is a tremendous help as i was always buying batteries and having the hassle of inserting them into the xbox and now i simply plug into the playstation console and the charges up no problem, i can even use the controller while its charging! i would...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

playstation 3 slim: the facts!

Advantages: very powerful, multifunctional console
Disadvantages: No real price cut

...The PS3 Slim is the latest PlayStation 3 games console, but it is essentially the same console as before, but with slimmed down components and a new, smaller body. The key improvements in the PS3 Slim are the 120GB hard drive, up from 40GB, 60GB and 80gb in previous UK versions and making it slimmer has made it 36 per cent lighter, 33 per cent smaller and it consumes at least 34 per cent less power (for you know worry about you electricity bills). The PS3 Slim represents a new console just in time for x-mas, one that could start to make sony some profit because up to this is due to the vast majority of PS3 sold so far (around 24 million of them) have been sold at a loss. However, new manufacturing procedures have changed this recently, and a redesigned 45nm Cell processor along with other similarly small and power efficient components...
