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 - '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...

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 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...

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...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (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...

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...

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...

Playstation 3 Review

Advantages: Blu-Ray, Entertainment, Backward Compatibility, Sixaxis Controller, Wi-Fi, Hardware.
Disadvantages: Price, Lack of Quality Games, Untapped Potential.

...After playing Playstation 2 for years I was happy when Playstation 3 was announced to be released. However that happiness didn't last much. Why? In my opinion the Playstation 3 (PS3) lacks not only good but also exclusive games. The console is way too expensive and it isn't compensating. Why? You have 2 other consoles that you could buy with the money you'd spend on PS3. Those are the Xbox 360 and the WII consoles. After playing several PS3 games I've found that graphics are good but sometimes the problem isn't the console but the games that don't use PS3 full settings. One good example is Pro Evolution Soccer a football game that succeeded and achieved greatness in Playstation 2 and when the brand jumped for the 3rd generation console it didn't pay off. The graphics weren't accurate there were lots of bugs the game was slower. Anyway...
