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...

Sony Playstation 2 - Slimline : 'Gaming Giant'

Advantages: Sleek design I no fan : much quieter I No power back switch I Affordable I Wide range of games I
Disadvantages: The lid where you put the games could be stronger

...The Playstation 2 has sold in excess of over 100 million consoles since it was released back in 2000. When orginally released the Playstation 2 was much larger in size than the slimline version which Sony released in 2004. I am going to look into what are the benefits of the new system and look at the good and bad features. Good Features The Slimline Playstation 2 is much quieter than the original console because it simply looks much better, the slim design is better on the eye and also it is less noisy as the console does not have a fan. Instead it uses air vents to keep the console cool. It does the job to be honest because I owned the console for over 2 years and it has never crashed or overheated. The load times of the new console seems to me a little quicker than the original console. This is a main plus factor because you want...

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2)

PS/2 Slimline a real tonic from Sony

Advantages: small and sexy
Disadvantages: is it a fragile kitten

...I should start by saying that I am not part of the PlayStation generation, I'm 44 and my first introduction to gaming outside of arcades was awarded to me as the result of an on line competition when I won a good old PSOne (yes, people do win those draws), that was about 7 or 8 years ago I guess. About 5 years ago I upgraded to the original PS/2 and have enjoyed many late nights / early mornings gaming on that till about 8 months ago when it gave up the ghost. With the launch of PS/3 'imminent' I thought I could wait for that - but Oh No it gets delayed and delayed again and my patience runs out. So a couple of weeks ago I find myself on Amazon making an impulse buy of the new slimline PS/2. What a FANTASTIC little piece of kit, Sony have done wonders in reducing size and weight, primarily it must be said by making the power...

Sony Playstation 2 Review

Advantages: You can do many things on it and it doesn't break easily.
Disadvantages: You may have to clean it from time to time.

...I think the Sony Playstation 2 is really fun and I have spent many happy hours just playing on games. It very rarely ever shuts off, it only has shut down once in the whole 3 years I've had it. Me and my brother have listened to c'ds on there and played on our playstation 1 games, so you don't have to buy the playstation 2 version of the games if you've already got the playstation 1 version. There is so many games out there you can buy for the playstation so that you'll never get bored. Although, you might want to buy a cleaning disk and now and again clean the playstation, as this prevents it from getting dusty and wrecking the games. Overall, I think this product is well worth its money and I would recommend it to anyone, as it is suitable for all age groups. You can buy the games really cheap and when you no longer want a game...

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2)

SONY PLAYSTATION 2

Advantages: It has good graphics, Plays DVD's and has loads of games
Disadvantages: It's graphics aren't as good as the Xbox's or the Gamecubes

...The PS2 is great. It's got good graphics, loads of games and it Plays DVD's and CD's. Soon you'll be able to go online and play games online as well. I got one of these for christmas, but prior to purchasing it I had a bit of a dilema, 'Should I buy a PS2 or an XBOX?'(I didn't even consider the Nintendo Gamecube because it doesn't play DVD's, and it has about two must have games. PLUS; IT'S A CUBE!). Anyway, I really didn't know what to get, they both had their advantages and dissadvantages. It came down to two simple reasons why I chose the PS2. They were: 1)The PS2 has loads more game(Including all the PSone games), and 2) The games on the PS2 are a lot cheaper. If you're a graphics person, get an XBOX. If you're a Nintendo fan (who doesn't want a DVD/CDplayer), get a Gamecube (But...

Sony Playstation 2 - What More Can You Ask For? :P

Advantages: Sleek; lots of good games; DVD movie playable - good value for money :-)
Disadvantages: Still waiting for hard drive peripheral; Xbox's graphic capabilites are superior; only two controller ports, compared to the higher rated Xbox. Plus the games are quite costly...

...From my own playing experience, I would say that the Sony Playstation 2 is a amazing, high quality little games consule with extraordinary gaming power capible of being achieved. Many people tend to dissagree, but I think that the Sony Playstation 2 is the best games console going and other consoles such as the XBOX and Gamecube don't even compare to the quality of this tiny black/silver box of fun! hehe! The Specs of the console are as follows : CPU 128-bit 'Emotion Engine' Clock speed 294 MHz RAM 32 Mb DRAM 4 Mb Graphics 147 MHz DVD/CD drive 4x/24x. How about the size?: The Sony Playstation 2 has a decent size, a lil bit bigger than the original Sony Playstation. You can play this console horizontally or vertically to conseal space- but to play vertically you would need to purchase a steady stand (waste...

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...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Adventures sought with PS2!

Advantages: fairly cheap - plays Playstation games - DVD player - good graphics - wide choice of games
Disadvantages: --None--

...I received my PS2 as a Christmas present in 2002 - at the time they sold for £200 and games cost in the region of £30-45 - this was cutting edge technology at the time and the entire game world collectively stood back and said "wow" at this beast of a machine. The specifications for the PS2 are: 128-bit Emotion Engine Memory: 32MB Graphics: Synthesizer at 147.456MHz - VRAM--4MB Sound: SPU2 with 48 channels plus software Input/Output Processor: CPU Core - 3.8688MHz or 36.864MHz Media: CD-ROM and DVD-ROM Disc Speed: 24x CD-ROM, 4x DVD-ROM Now - this will not mean a great deal to 99% of the population - me included so I'll give you the lowdown on what I think of the PS2. Installation is simple - the power cable is attached and plugged in, the TV is hooked up to the back of the box - a game is inserted and you are ready to...

PS2, Greatness in Entertainment

Advantages: looks nice not too loud
Disadvantages: sometimes it can crash

...The Playstation 2 has many functions to it, you can get it in Jet Black, which I have it in, or you can get it in Silver, which looks way much better, but it is very rare to find. I have many games for this console, over 30. My newest ones are, Dynasty Warriors 3, Timesplitters 2, Enter the Matrix and Shadow Memories. They all are great games, but out of them, I have enjoyed Enter The Matrix or Dynasty Warriors 3 more. I have written a review on both of these games, if you would like to check it out after this review. Dynasty Warriors 3 is about, you?re a general, of an army, and you send them into battle, while other generals speak to you, and help you out with their armies, there are 3 main clans, which when together are called the HAN. Enter The Matrix is about, you are going along the story of Niobe and Ghost, how do they get...
