The PS3 is the latest in a line of consoles from Sony. First was the PlayStation (otherwise known as PSone), which was amazing at release, pushing graphics and sound to the limit. Then came the PS2 - a technical achievement, which to this day is one of the best-selling consoles of all time. In 2006, the PS3 was released to a negative reception because it was too hard to programme for. WHAT? They made us wait all this time, and it turns out to be a disappointment? It's over four years since its release now, and luckily the console is getting a much better reception and developers are getting used to the hardware. So now, I'm going to tell you why the PS3 is such an  Read the complete review

The PlayStation 3 is in my opinion the best games console there is out there. It has the best range of games to choose from with a consistent supply of new software being released for it all the time. It can bring the best of both worlds in terms of entertainment as it is able to give full Blu-Ray functionality, you can store films on the HDD, rip Audio CD's, stream from PC, etc. as well as the gaming aspect it is obviously designed for. The free access it gives to the PlayStation Network (PSN) is one of its main advantages over Microsoft's Xbox 360, also it does not lose its novelty effect like the Wii seems to after a while due to its greater functionalities and ...  Read the complete review

I had bought the PS3 40GB for my children when it first came out, and I had often played it with them, and still do until today. The PS3 is basically an enhanced version of the PSP that is made of the same materials, but more, as well as having the same layouts, specifications, but more options, and better specifications.

The games that ...  Read the complete review

Already owning a XBOX 360, I bought my PS3 predominantly for its multimedia functionality, mostly Blu Ray and Hi def media streaming from my home PC. I have since come to use it as my main console for gaming. Gone are the days of red rings of death (I have had 3 Xbox 360's die) and disc read errors that Microsoft have littered my gaming experience with. The PS3, whilst big, looks beautifully crafted with its exquisite touch buttons, its glossy black finish and its crisp edges. Its unquestionably the highlight of my home cinema hardware and the size gives you a sense of the power contained within. Standing both horizontally and vertically it looks sensational ...  Read the complete review

OK well a friend went abroad and brought me an amazing gift in May 2008. It was in a grey 'Sony Style tote bag' which was neat and environmentally friendly i thought (well much better than those plastic bags which are of no use) Looking down on the black box you can see the spiderman3 styled lettering; i thought well ok thank you very much, because i was debating on getting one but never really had the cash spare, that plus the fact that i was taking prices down at the electronic store for a new Xbox. So i guess my friend had decided for me which is nice! OK back to the console. From pulling the box out i was even more surprised to see a silver picture of PS3, ...  Read the complete review
