Sony Playstation 3 40 GB

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

Sony are known as one of the biggest gaming console manufactures in the world. Now they have released their newest "next-gen" console, and the fourth edition to the Playstation family. The Playstation 3 has some impressive specs yet not so many good reviews. Critics aren't impressed with it's price and technical problems. This has led to many Playstation 2 owners switching to one of Sony's biggest competitors Microsoft's game console - the Xbox 360. I could do a comparison of the consoles but instead I am reviewing the PS3 two years after realse. This review is based on my own personal experience's and I know this is likely to upset console "fanboys". ...  Read the complete review

Almost two years ago Sony brought out two more versions of the PS3 because simply they weren't selling enough of the 80GB version, so out came the 40GB and 60GB; two consoles cheaper than the first model with lots of useless features removed. Some time later and this has done Sony no good at all, the PS3 is still the worst selling console. And I have no idea why.... Gaming - If you have a HD TV I would suggest you buy a HDMI cable because the console is not supplied with one and having one just takes the gaming experience to a whole new level. The Games collection may not be as big as that of the Xbox 360 but it ...  Read the complete review

Ceramic White Sony PlayStation 3 40GB Console (PS3) I bought the White PS3 around a week ago, I got it imported from Japan, because Sony hasn't released a White PS3 in the UK. I bought it for £360 off ebay.co.uk and the Packaging and Posting was free. I already had a PS3 80GB but I decided to buy another two PS3's for my bed room and put the other PS3 80GB into the Living room on a 50" HDTV. I bought a PS3 60Gb out of game for £210 preowned. So that means I will use the White PS3 for PS3 games, and the Black PS3 for Movies, Music, Pictures, Maybe some Web Browsing, PS2 and PS1 games! In the box of the Ceramic White PlayStation 3 In the ...  Read the complete review
