  Summary: The Wii or the XBOX have next to nothing left to brag about over the ps3. If you complain about games take another look because Uncharted, MGS4, LittleBigPlanet, The Show, and many more are great. This thing at 299 is like I said a great bargain. I paid 299 for a standalone Blu-Ray Player for my living room and it cannot match the ps3. Surround Sound is great something the XBOX or Wii can't do at 7.1 as well as the streaming options. Backwards Compatibility really isn't a big issue since 1 in 3 people have a ps3 and PSN store is something you can deal with. Simply the Best.

  Great device now even better with netflix.

  by dallascain on January 2, 2010

  Pros: Good looking and well built. Lots of power under the good. Blue ray and Netflix work great. Wonderful gaming graphics and physics.

  Cons: PS3 controller is aweful. Just to damn small and bad layout. Sony please change this or offer a version for people with normal sized hands...lol.

  Summary: If you only use it for Netflix and Blue ray its well worth the money. But if you use the gaming part then its the best deal out there. I ...

  Summary: If you only use it for Netflix and Blue ray its well worth the money. But if you use the gaming part then its the best deal out there. I think the xbox360 is now clearly overpriced. No blue ray, no bluetooth, no integrated WiFi. If the PS3 is 300.00 then the xbox should be 200.00 with integrated WiFi. By the way I am not a XBOX hater. I think its the best pure gaming console and best online service.

  PS3 is, quite simply, much more than a game console.

  by KJoe92 on January 2, 2010

  Pros: HD Gaming
  FULL HD 1080p Blu-ray Player
  WiFi (802.11b/g)
  HDMI 1.3a
  Built-in Upgradeable HDD (Non proprietary)
  FREE PSN Account
  Web browser (Pandora, Facebook, Last.fm, YouTube, Twitter, and SO MUCH More)
  Media extender (Windows Media, TVersity, etc)

  Cons: Lack of backwards compatibility for PS2 games

  Summary: I currently own a PS2 (SCPH-39001), an Xbox 360 (Pro 20GB), and most recently a PS3 (Slim 120 GB). I was ecstatic when I received the PS3 as a holiday ...

  Summary: I currently own a PS2 (SCPH-39001), an Xbox 360 (Pro 20GB), and most recently a PS3 (Slim 120 GB). I was ecstatic when I received the PS3 as a holiday 2009 gift. I was intending to purchase at the current MSRP of $299, but I think free is an even better price.
  
  At first glance, it's obviously a game console. I purchased UNCHARTED: Drake's Fortune and UNCHARTED2: Among Thieves. The PlayStation 3 packs the punch of the Cell Broadband Engine?. I suggest doing a Google Search for "explain the cell ps3" and click the first link.
  
  The PS3 has an HDMI 1.3a port for high definition gaming. Not every game on the console will be in 1080p, but EVERY Blu-ray movie is in FULL 1080p. Blu-ray has been established as the standard format in which it will be taking the place of DVD (like DVD took the place of VHS). Every PlayStation 3 game is stored on a Blu-ray disc. Blu-ray discs have a storage capacity in upwards of 50GB, while DVDs can store up to 4.7GB. Benefits of Blu-ray are quite obvious (more content, more audio channels, higher definition pixels).
  
  The PS3 has a built-in 2.5 inch Serial ATA HDD. This is a standard laptop hard drive, and it's upgradable. No proprietary hardware needed from Sony to do so. It doesn't void the warranty either.
  
  WiFi is built-in also. This makes it so much easier when the internet connection is located in the room down the hall, and you don't have Ethernet cable running across your home. No equipment to buy, all you need is your WiFi key and an active internet connection.
  
  The web is also on the PS3. You can view full web pages of almost any website on the internet. Pandora Radio is one of my favorites, and I was shocked when I tried to load it on PS3. It worked as though I was on my desktop machine. Facebook and YouTube are also honorable mentions that both work on the PS3 web browser.
  
  Media extension is a very valuable feature to me. I like having the ability of viewing all my content from my computer on my PS3. Very handy feature, and FREE. It was a little difficult setting up due to computer issues, but it works like a charm now.
  
  My only complaint was the lack of PS2 backwards compatibility. I really would have loved to pack my old dusty PS2 away, but it's not that big of a problem.
  
  I also have heard rumor that Sony is planning on releasing PlayStation 2 games for download via the online PlayStation Store. PSone titles are already available for download. Keep in mind, you will need a credit/debit/bank account for purchase. You can also buy prepaid PS Store cards at retail locations like Target and Walmart in several amounts ($20, $50, etc)
  
  All in all, I think that PS3 is an amazing product. I don't regret acquiring it at all. The games are beautiful! The Blu-ray movies are awesome! And the price isn't all the bad either. The "It only does EVERYTHING" advertisements really fit the PS3. Get one, you WON'T regret it at all.

  Best bang for the dollar

  Summary: I am 55 years old. I had all the old 70's & 80's game consoles. Then I switched to the computer to play games. I figured I was to old to play Xbox and & PS, Plus I could not justify the added cost. My daughter hooked me up with her PS3 last month and since then I have been learning the games, reading my laptop files, watching Blue-ray and Netflix movies. This machine is amazing. My wife has picked one up for Xmas for me. I moved my year old Blue-ray player upstairs. As everyone knows the picture & sound is amazing. Watching netflix is very easy to use. The movies look great and load fast. For #299 this is a bargin. Best bang for my dollar. I stopped in Sam's club & played with a Xbox and that was amazing also. The controller was a lot better than the PS3. The biggest seller for me is the Blue-ray and Netflix movies.

  Original ps3 20 GB v slim

  by elephantstroker on November 27, 2009

  Pros: Massive versatility in the firmware including divx and and the display of photos within the OS.

  Cons: Seems like an attempt to renew interest in a machine that in theory shud and infact is better than all of it's competitors..

  Summary: I should start this off by saying MY playstation 3 does charge it's controllers whilst the system is on and as such have no idea what the previous cnet review is talking about it also bost's 4 usb ports as opposed to that of the 2 and yes i suppose i should replace the hard disk drive although that'll only cost me around £30 instead of the £150 that the local games shops are asking (and this is infact to loose 2 usb ports (apparently the ability to charge the controllers whilst the system is on) and the choice to install linyx if i so feel fit. So what am i paying for? it seems to me all im doing is loosing and once again lining Sony's pockets. Dont get me wrong Sony havecreated an incredible machine and great value for money if you already own one although the upgrade to me iis nothing but a gimmick and is worse value depending on which version of the ooriginal playstation 3 you own. In Summary if you dont own a PS3 run to the shops now it will be the best technological decision you'll ever make however if you already own the 'fat' one whats the point?

  Best value... Combo of Blu ray player and Gaming device

  by romney80 on November 21, 2009

  Pros: Blu ray player is excellent, DVD upconversion, Wifi ready, Netflix access, Excellent gaming device, Nice user friendly interface and software.

  Cons: Remote is blue tooth controlled and hence cant use universal remote. Sony should really work on it. I cant comment on the gaming devise as I am not a game freak and have not used Wii or Xbox. But I am happy with the games which I played in PS3.

  Summary: I was actually looking for buying a blu ray player.. When I came across this combo device of Blu ray player, Wifi connectivity, netflix access and excellent gaming device for ...

  Summary: I was actually looking for buying a blu ray player.. When I came across this combo device of Blu ray player, Wifi connectivity, netflix access and excellent gaming device for comparable price, I did not had any second thought but to buy this immediately... And believe me I am more than satisfied with this purchase... I usually research a lot before any gadget purchase. And am not as happy as this purchase compared all other gadgets at my house... I will definitely recommend this to my friends who usually take my advise before purchase of any gadgets..

  Graet value no how you look at it

  by bawj on August 23, 2009

  Pros: Just the fact that is capable of playing Blu-ray is worth the purchase of this system. That is exactly why I bought mine over a year ago. Blu-Ray movies have been comming done in price and you can even get some newer titles at BJs for 10 bucks. I

  Cons: Not many just a matter of opinion of what is really important to you.
  You have to buy media server software to stream videos from NetFlix

  Summary: Great value at a great price and maybe it will finally make the other makers of the game consoles to finally drop the price of the xbox and the Wii.
