Playstation 3 80GB

Advantages: Powerful - Good Looking - Easy to setup - Loads of games
Disadvantages: Quite heavy and bulky - Slow install and download times

...Pretty much all of the versions are the same - but this is for the 80GB version. This is my opinion but after having the 40GB version - I do feel that this system stays cooler than the 40GB version. The console is very heavy - and it is quite bulky - but it doesn't really matter. It looks very stylish - but it is basically a fingerprint magnet - the marks can be wiped off - but it is a bit annoying. Setup - When you first attempt to setup the console - it is best that you read the instructions - it can be complicated. If you are connecting to a HD TV - you basically just connect the cable to the TV and console - turn console and Tv on - then select HDMI on the TV - then run the setup - it will says a HDMI device has been detected - do you want to configure - say yes and then let it detect the settings - the screen will go blank...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

PS3 Console

Advantages: Amazing graphics and gaming capabilities, looks great
Disadvantages: quite a high price

...I don't need to write much to review the PS3 (although I will...), it can be described with one word : amazing Ill be reviewing the 60gb version that is available in the UK. (the technical specification, from the US sony website, are at the bottom) The console looks superb, it is quite large but has a shiny black body and a sleek silver finish, the body is curved slightly and really looks good. However the body does easily attract dust and scratches so you will need to clean it regularly. The "PS" logo on the front (above the disk drive) can be rotated so that t is the right way up whether the console is horizontal or vertical. The disk slot is much better than the old sliding trays on the PS2's, makes the console look better and probably won't break as easily! The on/off and eject buttons are touch sensitive and this takes a while...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

PS3 - 'A console for the future'

Advantages: Media capabilities, Huge Potential, Amazing Operating System, In-built wifi, Blu Ray
Disadvantages: Playstation network needs improving, Needs more extra Features, Games, Price

...I purchased the PS3 on launch day. The amount of games for the console at launch was minimum, that was expected but I did expect a few blockbuster titles to go with the launch. The PS3 console uses Bluetooth for all its controllers and has in-built wifi, which is very handy and is a lot better than buying accessories to enable the wifi like its rivals. The bluetooth system for the controllers is excellent, it has a great range and never struggles with any disconnection problems. The PS3 as a system starts up and loads you straight up into its Xross media bar or 'XMB' for short. The XMB is, in my opinion, an excellent way of navigating around the PS3 and with recent system updates - it has made it a joy to use. The sections are clearly labelled (Music,Video,Games,Internet) and not to hard to figure out. Although some of features...

Sony PS3 Got to be the best console

Advantages: Amazing game play & amazing blue ray dvd player
Disadvantages: You become a PS3 widow if you buy one for your partner

...After a lot of thinking I finally decided to purchase a PS3 of my other half birthday, he used to play on his PS2 all the time but was getting to the stage where getting any good new games was a nightmare. Needless to say this games console does not dissappoint, other members of my family have the Wii & Xbox personally I think the games console leaves them far behind. Im not one for going on about the spec of a machine (dont know enough about that side of it) so ill just tell you what I think of the console itself. The gameplay which is what most people purchase this item for is amazing, I bought him Medal Of Honour Airborne to go with this & its so lifelike its untrue & its def worth purchasing a hi def cable for it (usually about £10), this makes the games even more spetacular. You can also connect the playstation to the internet...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

PS3 is really the next generation gaming console.

Advantages: HD support for gaming, films in the shape of blu ray and sound. Along with a free online service.
Disadvantages: Downloading can take up hard drive space quickly.

...In my opinion the Playstation 3 is the greatest gaming console out in the current market. When i bought the product, i didn't buy only a gaming machine, i actually bought an entertainment machine. The Playstation 3 gives you the most powerful gaming console out in the market with some of the best games including Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3 and Uncharted 2 which are only on the Playstation 3. Other then gaming, the PS3 offers more features including a blu ray player. Blu Ray is the next generation of disc which hold and play 1080p HD media including films. The PS3 also has photo support, music support, internet support. In my opinion one of the main advantages of the PS3 is the free Playstation Network which allows players to play games online against players around the world for free. The service runs smoothly. The Playstation 3 has...

Playstation 3

Advantages: Easy to control
Disadvantages: Can't play normal dvds

...launched earlier because this is an excellent console. Maybe they had years putting the features. Playstation 3's media is Blu-ray Disc,dvd,cd and Super Audio CD. Its system storage is 2.5" SATA hard drive(20 GB, 40 GB, 60 GB, or 80 GB. The colours for Playstation 3 are black and silver, Playstation 3 is written in silver, some of the edges are in silver too(where you insert the disk) and the console is all covered in black. Black suits the Playstation and is more attractive than the silver, Playstation 3 can play DVDs, blu ray, music CDs and many more, this console is much more better than Playstation 2 and Playstation 1, Playstation 1 is crap and Playstation 2 standing out by the Playstation 3, Playstation 3 has a shorter name it is PS3 like it's written on the ps3. Accessories The accessories are the sixaxis controller...

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...
