I am so glad we finally got the Play Station 3. We also just got a Wii and the graphics don't even compare. The menu files are easy to get through and set up. We have even downloaded some of our own wallpaper. We also use the PS3 to watch movies. We can pick out new Bue Ray movies and we can also watch...

The PS3 is great for many things besides games. Why pay $300 for a blu ray player when you can pay $300 for a PS3 that plays blu ray movies, games, access the internet wirelessly, and synch it up to a PSP. It is a great gadget to have even if you don't play games. It comes with a hard drive that can store downloadable games, pictures, and etc. You can also synch it to the computer to play videos from the computer and have it displayed on the TV. The only negative I can think of is the system web browser cannot display websites that play streaming videos that uses the latest flash player (eg. imeem,... review »

The playstation 3 is an awesome gaming system. With superior speed and graphics and a built in blue ray dvd player you can't beat the price. I have hand 0 problems out of this machine as compared to several with my xbox 360.

The Playstation 3 is one awesome system. It continues from like, pretty much the best system since Nintendo Entertainment System came out in like what…the 80’s? Yes, I am talking about the Sony Playstation 2. But, back to the Playstation 3…although the system's on the big side for something you put on a home television counter, still, the system provides GREAT graphics, some PS3's have the SD slots and a bunch of USB ports for not only your wireless controllers, but for your thumb drives (the flash drives where you have your files such as documents, pictures, movies, etc.). And let me not...

This review is about the Playstation 3 system from sony. I have never been so impressed with a gaming console in my life. I absolutely love it! It's a big stress reliever for me. I get home from work and can pop in my favorite game and forget all about everything that has stressed me out that day. It's my favorite thing to do. It helps me pass time when i get bored. I love the blu-ray player on the playstation 3 system. I can't believe the picture quality it has. I love to watch movies on it also. There's so much you can do with this system. I also like the fact that you can get online and stay...

       I love the ps3.  I like saying the name.  The games are wonderful and movies are truly fun to watch.  I wish I had the money to but all my family and friends one.  The graphics are unbleveiable.  Its like you are apart of the gaming and can just reach out and be come the hero or villian.  I really can not see how much better the ps3 could become.  I mean unless you are the game in the future this is as close as you can get without leaving your home.  The movies are ansome and very crisp and clear.  I can enjoy the blu ray high depth and surrond sound.  I mean its the movie...

There's general agreement that Sony stumbled out of the gate with the PlayStation 3. Months of intense hype were followed by a late launch (fully a year after the Xbox 360) and a staggering $600 price tag for the deluxe model. Even worse, the PS3 didn't have any real must-have exclusive titles, and despite the power of its vaunted Cell processor, multiplatform games from third-party developers didn't look appreciably better than the respective titles on the 360.

 

Since then, the company's been modifying the PlayStation product line to better fit the competitive market landscape. As of November...

The playstation 3 can definitly go toe-to-toe with the X-Box 360, but it could definitly use a refinement. That's not saying it isn't worth the money, because there are plenty of positive attributes it displays, some of which are better than the X-Box.

The more noticeable attributes of the playstation 3 include graphics, and free online play. The graphic system in the ps3 sets the bar for next generation gameplay. It's one of the ps3's biggest plus'. Free online play is another big thing. The X-Box players have to pay, where as its completly free on the ps3 side. The built in blu-ray player also...

The playstation 3 is a console that has a lot of potencial, most of the games don´t use all of the power that playstation 3 can give, it´s a shame buts it´s true. When I first bought my playstation I thought that I was making a mistake buying the playstation and not the xbox 360 but after a few week´s I realised that xbox it´s only a piece of the power that playstation can give, the variety of games it´s great the quality of image it´s great too but most of all the quality of the console it´s perfect.Right from the start, it´s important to consider the fact that you are not actually buying...

The PS3 is a good game console. on top of playing games, you can save a descent amount of Mp3's on the console, along with pictures, and a few other things. There is a web browser on the console, so you can connect to the internet with the PS3, but the browser itself has problems, the next gen of Ps3 is supposed to have a better browser on it, the game play is awesome, but sony seems to not have very many good games for more than one player, the games that are for more than one player are either sport games, or lego games, and those are good games, but if you want something different to play...
