A Great System from Sony

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...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

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)

==Sony Have Done It Again!!==

Advantages: the most powerful console on the market, built in blu-ray player, internet capabilities, stylish
Disadvantages: none that i have yet found (owned for nearly 2 years)

...Let me start by saying, that despite the hefty rrp, despite the fact that its 3rd in the console race behind the nintendo wii and xbox 360 respectfully, the playstation 3 is in my honest opinion, the best out of the three without a doubt. When sony designed the playstation 3, it was intended to be a multimedia system that you could proudly place under your tv that dosn't look like it's ment to be in your teenagers bedroom and that they've comendeered your lcd tv because they can see more than they can on the portable in their room. i digress, they point i am trying to make is that this machine is as beautifull as it is powerful, and as practical as it is pricey (original rrp was £425) The playstation 3 is not just the best console (graphically nothing compares) it is also one of the best blu-ray players on the market and those...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Sony Playstation 3

Advantages: Excellent gaming and user interface, incorporated Blu-Ray and DVD Player, 60Gb Hard Drive.
Disadvantages: Few 'top title' release games, size of console, appears very expensive.

...The Sony Playstation 3 has been on the market for over a month now and is slowly beginning to realise its potential. The graphical changes have been vast from that of the PS2, with the HD ready games making it a whole new gaming experience. Whats more, the wireless controllers allow for extra freedom and comfort whilst playing, with the wireless range being so huge that you can even control games from another room (yet the ability to see through walls remains absent!). The integrated "PS Button" allows for complete user control whilst gaming, allowing for access to the menu at the same time as gaming, making it easy to sign onto the Playstation online network. The 'Sixaxis' controllers also allow for a more real gaming experience, tilting and moving the control as part of games. Though not on par to the Nintendo Wii on this aspect, it...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Another great console from Sony

Advantages: Really good graphics, Blue Ray player built in, wireless internet for free
Disadvantages: High price, loud fan when playing games

...Sony's next generation console was well worth the wait from the Playstation 2. I have owned a PS3 for just over a year now and I have so far had no problems with it and to see the quality of the graphics of any game was incredible, and it was such a step up from the PS2. Although Sony was late in releasing the PS3, it was worth the wait in the end, although I did consider getting an Xbox 360 instead. The Xbox 360 came out much earlier and allowed microsoft the oppurtunity to get more Xbox 360's out there before the PS3 was even out. However there have been many reported problems with the Xbox 360, such as the console freezing, so I thought I best play it safe and instead get the PS3 when I had some money. The PS3 also offers more benefits over the Xbox 360, like free online play and less reported faults with the console in general...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Sony is back with a bang!

Advantages: slick piece of hardware, great games, so much to do!
Disadvantages: not cheap!

...Having just recently won a competition to spend a night with the PS3 I figured it would be a smart idea to do a personal review of the console which everyone will be talking about (in the UK) in a few weeks to come. Please bear in mind that I have only had a chance to test this baby out for a few hours and so my review will not be as in-depth as you might expect. First Impressions The PS3 is indeed a slick looking machine, about the size of it's older brother (PS2) it seems as though finally Sony have caught on to the fact that the outer design of the console is as important to a gamer as the leather interior is to a 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Gone is that ugly block-like design and in comes a smooth surfaced console with curved edges just begging you to caress them. Much like it's predecessor, the PS3 can be placed...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Have Sony rolled in the next gen with a bang??

Advantages: Excellent multimedia package ahead of its time
Disadvantages: Backward compatability probs, and some minor glitches

...Sony Playstation 3 (60 GB) At last the pinnacle of next generation gaming is finally upon us. Or is it? Maybe so, but have we not seen all this already? Sony's new games console the Playstation 3 or more commonly known as the PS3 was finally released across the European Union and Australia as well as the other PAL region 2 compatible countries on Friday 23rd March. With up to 300,000 units available at launch it was unlikely that the PS3, which had already been available in Japan and US from November last year, was going to be an overnight sell out. Even now as I write this review they are still available in the stores. Disappointed ebay sellers, who had hoped to make a bit of profit from pre-order sales riding on the launches of Microsoft's Xbox 360, Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PSP, are well and truly kicking themselves now...

Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) & XBOX 360

Advantages: Excellent to use and play with...
Disadvantages: The price..

...There has been so much arguments over which console is better the PS3 or the XBOX 360. I looked into which console has what features and their way of communicating to the audience. Also which console has the better online game play and their prices. First I?ll be explaining the functions and features of the SONY PLAYSTATION 3 and then the functions and features of the XBOX 360. SONY PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) There is more then one version of the PS3 in the UK. They vary from £300 to £399, some contain a 40GB hard drive and others go to 60 or even 80GB and can connect with or without wires to the internet for online game play. PLAYSTATION® Network is free and enables you to play online game play for free and surf the internet without having a computer. The consol has USB ports for connecting external devices such as cameras, MP3 players...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Sony PSP

Advantages: Clear screen, lots of features, easy to use and a large range of games and movies.
Disadvantages: Can't be used with strong light and quite easy to damage/scratch

...The Sony PSP is a gaming device made for on the go gamers. There is a very wide range of games you can play on the PSP, and these mainly consist of previous PlayStation 2 games such as Grand Theft Auto Vice City and other classic games. The PSP is set out like a PlayStation controller but with a 4.3 inch screen in the middle. The console itself is a great size and does not weight very much. The screen also is very good - it delivers a clear picture and depending on the game, not bad graphics. The games are stored on a UMD disk which stands for Universal Media Disks which consist of 1.8GB. As well as buying games on the UMD disks, you can also buy popular films such as Spiderman and watch them on the go. Not only is the PSP a great gaming and video playback device, but it can also be used as an MP3 player, a photo viewer and an internet...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

The Sony Underdog

Advantages: Great features for low price, Great value for money
Disadvantages: Smaller range of Lenses than competitors

... Sony a200 D-SLR camera Introduction This Sony a200 is the bottom of the range fully fledged entry level d-SLR from Sony. With prices now well below £300 could this be the camera for you to enter the next level of your photography? I believe it can. Offering a wide range of features, lenses and quality that has brought Sony where it is today, this camera will definitely be giving the bigger names something to worry about. The Camera This camera is obviously designed from scratch to bring ultimate simplicity to beginners to enthusiasts alike. The build quality is very good for the price, though not as strong as many other cameras in the market, it looks as though it could still take a fair blow or two, but not three. The 10.2 mega-pixel offering is more than enough for most levels of photography...
