5 out of 5 stars the future has arrived !   December 19, 2008

What an impressive bit of kit this is, i have just traded my 360 in for this and it just punts the 360 into the weeds. Dont get me wrong i was very impressed with the 360 in terms of its game library and live of course but the ps3 has just so much more going for it
Apart from the games and bluray capabilities you can surf the net, play music, view pictures, free online gaming, the list just goes on and on. Ok the online service needs some tweaking i believe but will undoubtedly improve and dont forget it is free and the games library is still a bit small but there are enough decent games in there if you look around. I believe once the developers truly unlock the full power of this machine we will see something very special
The interface is also very easy to navigate around and will be familiar to anyone who has owned a PSP, the glossy finish is very nice but i am not totally sure about the overall design but thats a small price for what lies inside - saying that the 360 isnt exactly a beauty itself.
The controller is also an improvement on the 360 being a lot lighter and less bulky, one thing though im not sure about the triggers i personally preferred the 360's, the sixaxis also adds another dimension to games giving it a slighter more interactive feel.
All i need now is for our old widescreen to give up the ghost and then we can upgrade to a full HD system, im led to believe this just makes it even more impressive and starts to unlock its true potential
To summarise then if you do want a very good games library and the very good live service stick with the 360 but if you want all the additional features and increased power go for the PS3, one last thing - the noise !, my god what a difference, my 360 sounded like a plane taking off (ok a slight exaggeration but you get my drift !), the ps3 is near silent just a low hum in the background and this does make a big difference if your using it for watching movies etc.
Thankyou for reading and i hope this helps you make a well informed decision



5 out of 5 stars THE ULTIMATE GAMING CONSOLE!!!   December 18, 2008

I think the ps3 is the best console out there. People say it doesn't have enough games -
1. ps3 games are better quality (generally)
2. I checked and there are over a hundred ps3 games and about 10 of them are ps3 exlusives!

Here are some cool things that the ps3 can do:
1. Wirelessly Connect to Internet (free)
2. ps Network (free)
3. ps home (an online community) (free)
4. Blu-ray disc player
5. DVD player
6. CD player
7. Music player
8. Photo viewer
9. Multiple users
10. I switched my computer on and I discovered that the ps3 can wirelessly connect to the computer and access everything stored on the computer e.g. music, video, photo...
11. 2 usb plugs
12. Wireless controllers with quick easy charging and long battery life + strong - it doesn't matter if you drop one
13. Motion Sensivity on controllers
14. AMAZING GRAPHICS ON almost EVERY GAME
I could go on forever...
I love the ps3 and sony are still working hard to improve it.
As an owner of a ps3 I think although it is more expensive than the 360 it is much better value for money.
Games I would reccomend...

Warhawk

Motorstorm 1 & 2

Grand Theft Auto IV

Call of Duty 4 & 5

Fifa 09

Thanks for Reading

I have owned both 360 and ps3.
360 rules online gaming. PS3 rocks on blu ray.
360 is a bargain.

This Product is essentially offering the same thing as the Xbox 360 but with less great games and a Blue Ray player. Now if you really want a Blue Ray player you could justify this purchase, but i dont see how you could want one, Blue Ray DVDs look to the untrained eye exactly like a DVD but at around triple the price to the buy.

And as this product is double the price of the Xbox 360 which as I have said offers the exact same thing as the PS3, it just doesnt seem at all worth it unless you really prefer the exclusive titles the PS3 offers over the 360 exclusives.
