Sony Playstation 3 60 GB

Well as a computer geek and a hard core fan of the Playstation series I just knew that I would be destined to purchase the Playstation 3. But I ended up waiting a few months before I purchased this wonder machine, basically because I'm a cheap skate and wanted it to come down in price before I bought it. So about six months ago I walked into GAME and walked out with rather a big bag of entertainment goodies. So for anybody that doesn't know what a Playstation is, I will dutifully inform you. The Playstation was released in 1995 and fast became the leading brand in console gaming. This lead to the hugely successful PS2 and in 2007(UK release) the PS3. The console is ...  Read the complete review

The PlayStation 3 is Sonys third generation of home consoles. After the stellar performance of the PlayStation 2 and launch of its two rivals the Wii and Xbox 360 the PS3 has a tough act to follow. Sony are clearly not worried as according to their marketing the PS3 is a "supercomputer" and is capable of "4D" graphics, with such bold claims I had to pick one up for myself and see if it was true! Unboxing The first thing you will notice about the PlayStation 3 box is that it's huge! The Xbox 360 had a rather large box but this is incredible being about 1.5x as big. The box design itself is worth a mention as it is pretty neat and the ...  Read the complete review

The PS3 was released on the 23rd March 2007 in the Uk and for me is the best 3rd generation console beating the XBOX 360 and WII. It was delayed a few times which was rather disappointing but now it is out and is my favourite console! There is so many things to do on the console. The games look brilliant on it and best of all unlike the XBOX 360 the playstation network is free and is probably the best feature although there is some very neat touches. PS3 set up: When you first start up your PS3 you choose your language and time and things like that but when you have completed this you will find yourself on the PS3 xmb which is basically the home of ...  Read the complete review

I am going to be reviewing possibly one of the biggest console in the market currently the PS3. Firstly I have one and it is great, now let's take a look at it in detail: LAUNCH November 11, 2006: This is when it debut in Japan November 17, 2006: It released in North America March 23, 2007: Finally was released in Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and New Zealand. The UK launch was a shock for who went to it, as it was announced that everyone in the queue would receive a 46" Sony Bravia TV worth £2000. The launches did not turn out great for Sony as initial figures were low, here are the figures ...  Read the complete review

I got my Playstation 3 on the day of the UK release. I am very pleased with the appearence of the console it is very sleek and shiny and finger prints are easily cleaned on the black surface. The PS3 menu or the XMB as it is officially known is by far the best console menu I have ever come across it betters the Xbox 360's and the Nintendo wii's by far. It has many options and functions some which are standard of a games console some meet the standard of PC's and media centres. It is simple to use and if you have used the PSP's menu you will be automatically familiar with the options and settings. However even if you have never used a PSP or a PS3 ...  Read the complete review
