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 - The User's Review

Advantages: Amazing Graphics, HDMI, Free Online Service, Blu-Ray, Stylish Design
Disadvantages: Large price, Small game library, Expensive games, Slow system updates

...After owning a Nintendo Wii and an Xbox 360, I felt that I had to buy a PlayStation 3 to complete my collection. A very good choice I would say... Pro's: - Amazing graphical power with HDMI 1080p Full-HD Output - Excellent online service (free) - Smashing Blu-Ray drive - Stylish, large design Con's: - Hefty price-tag* - Not a wide selection of games** - Pricey games*** - Slow and annoying system updates**** *The £425 price is one that can be justified by the inclusion of a Blu-Ray drive but is hefty for one that does not care about the Blu-Ray functionality **The PS3's library of games is still very small ***The games for the PS3 are very pricey ranging from £30-50 ****The system updates that are required take a long time to download and install - You must update otherwise you cannot use features such as...

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...

...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.

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)

Sony PSP

Advantages: Great portable media player. Ideal for Games & Movies
Disadvantages: Not so good as an MP3 player as a little bulky.

...This is an ideal portable console/MP3 Player and MP4 Player for all. Since having the PSP I no longer find myself bored whilst on the train to work. I generally use it for gaming and watching movies. The gameplay/graphics are awesome for such a small device. The added bonus of the PSP is that you can switch it off and when you switch it back on again it allows you to play where you left off even if this is half way through a football match. As for movie capability, this is straight forward. As long as you have a large enough memory card, you can load MP4 files and watch movies on the go with the PSP. I don't really use the PSP as an MP3 player as it's a little too bulky for the pocket. I don't think this is the main benefit of the PSP but the option's there. I would recommend this to anyone who's travelling a lot and it...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite

Sony PSP

Advantages: Technologically, the PSP has always been ahead of the pack, and the 3000 just takes it further. I
Disadvantages: Where are the games? Looking at Sony's PSP website, there are only 5 games scheduled for 2009 - an

...I love my PSP, but I'm still playing games I bought 2 or 3 years ago for my original PSP-1000. For a new user, especially, the lack of new games is enough to make anyone worry about investing in one. The 4.3-inch LCD wide screen remains, and it's been tweaked. Sony says the new screen now delivers better color reproduction, reduced glare, and reduced "ghosting" on high-motion scenes. When compared with the 2000, the PSP 3000 does, indeed, deliver better color vibrancy (you can toggle between "wide" and "standard" color in the options to see the difference). As for glare reduction: we didn't find there to be a huge difference. Don't expect to play in direct sunlight, for instance. But you might have better luck with fewer distractions from indoor light sources....

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Playstation 3 Great Product

Advantages: Useful, Multimedia Functions, Entertaining, Internet
Disadvantages: Does have the odd problems mostly HDMI issues.

...The Sony Playstation 3 is a great console, due to the fact it has alot exciting new features from the previous sucessors. One of the main reasons the PS3 has done well in the war against other consoles is that the games available on the this platform are much vast. The also have a quite alot of games which are exlusive to PS3. Some buyers only buy the ps3 because a certain game is availiable on this platform. Thats one of the main purposes i purchased the ps3 because i liked previous games which were on the previous console. I have played all rival consoles and compared to the xbox i would have to say the graphics look better on the PS3. I tested playing the same game on HDTV at 1080p even though the game was out putting at 720p. The contrast of colours and the detail stood out more on the PS3. The XMB( Xross Media Bar) developed...

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...
