Sony - PlayStation 3 (160 GB) Game Console Reviews

All-purpose entertainment value!

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

I've played a lot of video games in my time. I've logged many hours playing on such systems as the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the Super NES, Sega Genesis, and Nintendo N64. I've also enjoyed playing games on the original Sony Playstation, PS2 System, and now I have the priviledge of playing video games on the fabulous Playstation 3 system. Things to note here is the fact that it has internet capability, although it is limited. The games do need updating periodically, and there's always the Playstation Network to download movies, games, add-ons, wallpapers, etc. to the system.

Pros: Games are rich in color, depth, and detail, and the PS3 can play music CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray di...

***Sony PlayStation 3 (160 GB) Console **is the most amazing gaming system i've ever seen and I go back to the Atari. Gaming console wether you like action, sports, role play or just want to watch blue ray dvd's.  Tiger Wood 11 is so lifelike and real looking it's almost like your playing with him.  The God of War Games are just great the graphics are unreal.  The movie UP is so much clearer on the PS3 then any movie i've watched at home.  Easily hooks up to your wireless router and home network.  After that you can brouse the internet, download free demo and full version games from the playstation store. You can also download your entire music to play right from you...

Great family time

My family and I love this Sony Playstation 3 and we have had some family time memories. We use the Sony playstation 3 for many things such as: watching blu ray DVDs, We love to load some Videos and pictures the children has taken from our digital camera at special events or even just a family night out. We also come from a family of entertainers and it's been a blast playing rock band and even so when we play battle of the bands.

Wow! my children can be really competitive...hehehe....but it's all in good fun. We can also go on the Internet and load movies or music. This is such a great game console to have in the house, we enjoy each others company and we have lots of laughs and fun. This product also allows us to have more space around the house because it can take the place of couple electronic we normally have laying around such as a computer, DVD player, Game console. You will love it!

Sony Playstation 3 console is a must for everyone

When I saw that the PS3 slim increased the hard drive from 120gb to 160gb I finally bit the bullet. I was wanting to get a blu-ray player sometime so I figured I'd just get the ps3.   Finally, I brought a PS3 recently during the holiday season.  Set up was easy.  It has free online, great exclusive games, and so much more.  The most I like about it is the blu-ray player.  It plays blu-ray disc which save me some money to buy a blu-ray player.  Moreover, Sony has firmware upgrade from time to time to make sure your ps3 the top blu-ray player and a game console.  Sony recently has upgrade the PS3 to be able to play 3D blu-ray movie.  ...

The Playstation 3 is Awesome!

It has awesome graphics, great games, and my family really enjoys playing it daily! My husband and I purchased it this Christmas for our family to play together. We got the Nintendo Wii the Christmas before that. That are both great video game systems, however, the Playstation 3 seems to have better graphics and newer style games. The kids really enjoy the new games and my husband is right in there with them playing weekly. Also, it has the blue ray disc feature which would come in handy if we had bule ray discs. But, we can still use it to play regular DVDs when we want to which is still very convenient for us. This game system has plenty of neat features but I have really gotten into all of them. We husband and children know how to work them and are a lot more savvy than I am when it comes to video games - I will just stick to being computer savvy. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys playing video games!

It was good for a couple years

The playstation 3 console served me well until we uploaded the latest upgrade from Sony and it fried the laser or lens on the console. I was then only able to play games that were downloaded and was not able to use anything with a blu-ray. However, I did get good use of it for over two years, though considering how much the console costs, I should be able to use it for MUCH longer!! Lucky for me I have an awesome brother who got me a new slim with move! :) It is overall a very very good system, great game play ability, blu-ray player, internet use. I love that you can download games from the internet for cheaper. One of my favoritegames was a bowling game I downloaded for ten bucks and you u...

My husband and I wanted to get a game console and we were debating between the Sony Playstation 3 and the XBOX 360. We ended up going with the Sony Playstation 3 and we were not disappointed. I really like it because it has a built in blueray player. You can also stream movies and tv shows through pay services like Netflix and Hulu Plus. It has some limited internet capabilities. There are many games available and you can connect online to play with other people. You can add your friends and play with them. I was disappointed to learn that my Playstation 3 does not support PS1 or PS2 games. I think the original ones could, but the newer ones cannot. The big advantage to the Playstation 3 is that you do not have to pay a subscription to play online like XBOX 360.

Sony - PlayStation 3 a great game system!

We have had almost every game system you can think of in our home but the best one by far has been this Sony - PlayStation 3. we have always liked Sony products and have had both Sony playstation 1 and 2 also so it was just a given we would buy the Playstation 3. But we were in for a suriprise!

The Sony - PlayStation 3 has the most increditable picture quality and we almost feel like you are in the movies. And now with bly-ray out and better quality games it is even better.

My Husband love the Final Fantasy games and when he got the last one he was so impressed witht he way the Sony - PlayStation 3 gave him an even better gaming time. He played the game so much faster and he enjoyed it so much more.

We now have 2 of the Sony - PlayStation 3 systems and we use them all the time. We watch movies on them and have fun familt time with the games. We trust the Sony brand name and have not been dissapointed witht he PS3 either. Sony rocks!!

Playstation 3 Is amazing!!

  I currently own a Playstation 3 Slim 160gb system.  I'm very impressed with the overall layout and user friendly design of the user interface.  I'm very unempressed however of how the Web Browser works.  The web browser freezes, is extremely slow (I have a 25mbps connection), and the flash player never gets the update it needs to do anything online.  Some of the games have to install before you can use them but you still need the disk to play them which makes absolutely no sense to me, but the graphics are amazing.  I like the fact that you can also watch blue ray movies and the hdmi port is built in rather than having to get some sort of adapter.  

It's awesome!

I finally got a playstation 3 last christmas! Actually, I got it for my younger brother but everyone in the house uses it, even my parents. The games are pretty different from nintendo games, which my brother and I are more used to, there's a lot more shooting type games. But there are few kiddy games as well. What I really like about it is that you had stream videos from netflix, which is what my parents always do. And it's nice since we got a new big tv with it. Also, a lot of the ps3 games take a lot longer to load, but thats ok I guess. Another cool thing is that you can download demos of a lot of games so you can try some out without even buying it or renting it. but again you have to download it and it may take a while. Some games require you to download updates which is good and bad because it could take a while if you have slow internet speeds and it keeps popping up but its good that you can get updates on the games to make it better. The ps3 is great and a great price now!

Sony PS3 a great gaming system and so much more!!!

I origanally bought our PS3 for my husband. I was happy gaming on our old PS2, but there were games he wanted that were only available on the PS3. Once it was up and running I saw what he ment in terms of the quality of the video games. I only play racing games. The cars moved faster and it looks almost real. Some of the older games have a hard time keeping up with the play, but the newer games are unbelievable. i gave th old PS2 to the kids. As I found out the gaming is only one thing the PS3 does well.

We don't do cable at my house so I knew we would use the PS3 as a DVD and Blu Ray player. It is excellent. The upconvert of DVD's looks so much better than the old DVD player ever ...

The 160 GB Playstation 3 is great for games but bad for internet

There is more to this system than just putting a disc in and waiting for the game to load like the previous Playstation 2. You no longer need a game to use it. You can simply download games directly from the internet to play or visit various themed locations in the playstation universe as a character where you're able to interact with other people doing the same things you're doing. When I first got this, I spent hours exploring this aspect of it before even putting in a game.

The internet capabilities are a little weak. I think this is what I'm most disappointed about. I was led to believe that you would be able to surf the web from your tv like a normal computer. It's not like that a...

The Play-Station 3, is without a doubt, the best console on the market right now.  There are many things that make the "Ps3" so amazing.  One incredible thing about it is that it comes with a built in Blu-Ray player.  Have you ever seen a movie in Blu-Ray HD?  Trust me, once you have you will never want to go back to DVDs.  But anyways, back to the Ps3, not only does it support movies nicely, but it also is a great gaming platform.  Me being a gamer myself, I must say that I have played on many consoles but this tops them all.  The Ps3 has an extremely low failure rate versus Microsoft's Xbox360, which has the dreaded "Red Ring of Death".  The Ps3 also...

I got the Play Station 3 about two weeks ago and it was really awesome. The graphics played on it is incredible, especially when you have HD. The games for it are variable and amazing. I love to play FIFA 10 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on it. Many people said Play Station 3 is not good to play online but I think it is even better than Xbox. Easy to connect and play, the network does not have too many issues like Xbox. And one other thing is it has a Blu Ray Disk. Think about this, why do we have to pay $500 or more to buy a Blu Ray Video Player when we just need to pay about $300 for a Play Station 3 and we got it. Even more, we not only can play Blu Ray Discs but also can play video g...

Well worth the money, this product is light-years excellent.

The Sony Playstation 3 is light-years ahead of competitors in quality, and performance. I own the Nintendo Wii, Microsofts Xbox 360, and Sony's Playstation 3. Out of all three, I definitely spend most of my time on the PS3. It has excellent graphics, runs smoothly, and it looks better haha. Boasting a huge hard drive standard, and free wireless, with a huge friendly on-line community, this system is a must have for people who enjoy gaming.

If you are a casual gamer, I would say not to spend your money on this system because it is expensive and so are all the extra's, however if you are in the market for a Blu-Ray system, why not spend the extra $100 and grab yourself this amazing machine.
