40 Hours in Line, and Worth Every Minute

by Bruguru Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Nov 17 '06
Pros: Tons of features, amazing graphics, incredibly versatile.
Cons: Trying to get one.
Getting One is Half the Fun As a rule, people hate to wait in line for anything. If we have to wait ten minutes in line at the bank, it’s a major hardship. Fifteen minutes for a cashier at the supermarket, and we’re livid. Yet, there we ...

I love my Sony PlayStation 3 Bundle with Metal Gear Solid 4!

by phungus, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jul 20 '08
Pros: Great graphics and sound, free online network
Cons: Some physical design issues, not that many games out now
My birthday isn’t until next month, but my wife surprised me with an early birthday present when she told me that she’d ordered the Sony PlayStation 3 80 GB Bundle with Metal Gear Solid 4. I knew they were very hard to find, but she somehow ...

underwhelmed, but it'll stay around my house

by ncsuprof , Jan 11 '09
Pros: speed, wireless networking, bluetooth, media downloads
Cons: web browser is bad, no PS2 compatibility, needs more expansion/peripheral/software options
I got a PS3 console (after having used a PS2 very happily for ages) as a "self-serve Christmas present," since I was visiting my parents in a location at which there was a Sony outlet store and they had the 40 and 80 GB models on sale at respectable (but ...

Why PS3 won me over Xbox 360

by joelamb7467 , Oct 05 '08
Pros:

Awesome game system and so much more!


Cons:

Loosing backwards compatibility with PS2. That and price are the reasons for 4 stars.


Let me start off saying that I have not been a gamer since I was about 15. I am now 29, and the PS3 has definatly got me back into the scene!We have a Nintendo Game Cube and PS2 for my kids, but I have never played them for more than a half ...

The Sexiest Console This Side of the Rio Grande: The 80GB Playstation 3

by annexation , May 30 '08
Pros: Delivers tons of relevant and appreciated features for the price. Sextastic Sexbomb.
Cons: Perhaps too sexy.
The latest console offering from those crazy mountainfolk at Sony is everything you might expect from the people that brought you such classics as the Playstation and the Playstation 2. It’s shiny, it’s black, and it’s packed to the gills with ...

Latest and Greatest Console

by MasterFulks , Dec 31 '07
Pros: Blu-Ray, Graphics, Built in Wireless
Cons: Unknown failure rate, not a ton of games at the moment
I waited a little over a year to dive in to Next Gen consoles. Now that I have it's been an interesting experience. Lets start with comparing the various PS3 consoles on the market. Right now you can buy an 80GB version that comes with Motorstorm, ...

A Great System That Needs More Great Games

by briantw , Jan 29 '08
Pros: Beautiful graphics, relatively solid architecture, built-in Blu-Ray
Cons: Not enough games just yet, some DRE problems, a bit pricey
I recently purchased a Sony PlayStation 3 game console. I won't lie. I mostly bought it for the Blu-Ray player, as I recently upgraded to a 42" 1080p plasma television and wanted to make the most of it. However, as a gamer by nature (I already owned ...

An addiction I can't break, Sony Playstation 3

by jenni7202 , Jan 20 '08
Pros: Backwards compatible, High Definition, Online capabilities, built in Internet Browser.
Cons: Sometimes the Playstation Network runs a little slow.
The Sony Playstation 3 80GB system has got to be the best gaming system that has ever been created. Not only can you play games that are completely awesome, but also play them online with other PS3 owners for FREE. It has it's own internet browser ...

by kreddy05 , Dec 22 '07
Pros: Blu-Ray/1080P Media center Wi-Fi Wireless rechargeable controller Sleek piano black styling
Cons: Price Game selection Shows fingerprints/dust easily
The Playstation 3 has landed on the US shores, and it has come through as the major competitor to the XBox360 platform. The 80GB comes in a shiny piano black finish as well as chrome trim pieces that really show off the elegant but understated visual ...

Why I got a second PS3

by joelamb7467 , Nov 29 '08
Pros: Does everything.  A true multimedia center.
Cons: Loss of backwards compatibility.  Loss if 2 usb ports and flash card readers.
If you want to read some excellent reviews, read about all the different models of Playstation 3.  They are all pretty much the same with the following differences:This and the 160 Gig Uncharted bundle are the new models and pretty much what ...

The "Apple" of the consoles

by masonzoo , Oct 28 '07
Pros: Robust, well built unit. Well configured right out of the box.
Cons: All the power comes at a cost. Expensive vs competition.
So why did I choose the Sony Playstation 3? Although the most expensive, it offered by far the best value. Wii doesn't offer HD graphics. I have a large HD plasma screen and couldn't bear the low-res graphics. XBOX 360 - has had a spate of hardware ...

More ups than downs; barely

by mew905 , Feb 17 '09
Pros: HD, built in harddrive, networking, very powerful, upgradable blu-ray
Cons: lack of backward compatibility, very expensive
While the PS3 is a great machine overall, I cannot recommend it if you plan on replacing your PS2 with it. I only had Gran Turismo 4 for PS2 games, but I planned on playing that until the release of Gran Turismo 5. Other than the lack of compatibility, ...

Form following function!!

by rwfxp1 , Jul 14 '08
Pros: Abilities, features, good looks, reliability.
Cons: Price, less games, updates once in awhile, the end.
This is by far the best game console on the market. Yes it is pricey, but good things are not cheap and cheap things are not good. First of all you can not compare the graphics from the PS3 and Xbox360 systems. Because if you know a lot about computers, ...
