Playstation 3: Next-Gen capable?

Advantages: Eye-Candy. Visuals and Sound are stunning. Ease of option navigation. Downloadable classics.
Disadvantages: A bit pricy. Kinda heavy to carry about.

...I try not to sound like a fanboy when talking to my peers about Sony's new, Next Generation Console. But sometimes i find it hard not to. While it has been out for almost two years now, it still manages to make me smile at its robust capabilities. The Playstation 3, while not the cheapest of the newer game consoles, certainly provides some quality for its price: For starters, in my opinion, it is very sleek and stylish looking when viewed from afar or up close. Two buttons on the front give you the basic functions of ejecting the disc and turning it on and off. No tray required for this bad boy, as it uses rollers to accept the disc inside. Underneath a small hood hide plug-ins for various USB and memory slots, while just beneath that sit four USB controller ports. These allow you to charge your wireless controllers; good...

Sony Playstation 3 (PS3)

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

...too and its legal too. I think this is a useful feature but i wont be using it, i would prefer to buy my games and have something to show where my money is going aka a disc. On the Playstation shop you can download Games, Game Demos, Trailers and Videos Demos and Trailers are free so you can try any game you want before you purchase it. I would say this is good but i have reasontly experienced that it is not. As some of you may know Pro Evolution Soccer for th PS3 was not very well developed and there were a lot of slowdowns. Sony was given the demo Weeks before the official release but didn not publish it on Playstation store until sometime after the official realease of the game. They did this because they know PES2008 is a big game and if its not up to scratch they will more PS3 sales from bad reviews of the game. Finally the last...

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...

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...

3rd times the charm for sony

Advantages: Great graphically, Free online gaming,
Disadvantages: on the expensive side, lack of exclusive games at the moment

...After owning all the playstations that have been released it is pretty safe to say, this is the best they have come up with so far. The PS3 is really head and shoulers above most other games consoles out there, ok there are a few drawbacks which i will not first because im pretty sure they are alot of things that outwiegh the critisisms i have.Obvoiusly the biggest draw back is the price, it is far more than the cloests competition like the wii and the 360. But this price tag is valid in my opinion. The variety of games has also been a dissapointment so far, but this looks soon to change with various playstation classics on the way like gran turisomo or final fantasy. The 360 and wii do have better exclusive games at the moment, with classics like Halo or Gears of war on the 360 and wii fit on the wii, all great games but bear...

Review of Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

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)

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...
