Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk: As DVD playback made the PlayStation 2 more than just a game machine, hefty multi-media features make the PlayStation 3 an even more versatile home entertainment machine. Features such as video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video will likely make it the central component of your media set-up. Still, it is first and foremost a powerful gaming console. Under the Hood The PS3 features IBM's "Cell" processor and a co-developed Nvidia graphics processor that makes the system able to perform two trillion calculations per second. That makes the PlayStation 3 40 times faster than the PS2. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, it also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TV and projectors. The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience. This console also provides for a sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1. A pre-installed 40 GB hard disc drive allows you to save games as well as download content from the internet. Unlike the other models of the PlayStation 3, the 40GB does not offer backwards compatibility.
Blu-Ray Is the New Way Sony's PlayStation 3 games are encoded onto the Blu-Ray disc media format, which can hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This increase in capacity, combined with the awesome power of its processor and graphics card, promises mind-blowing games once developers have learned how to fully harness the new console's power. The PS3 will also support CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. In addition, PlayStation 3 system software update version 2.20 and up includes BD Live support. With this you can now play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE) and you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format so that you can obtain additional features. Features that are available vary depending on the software in use. Sensational Controller New gamers intuitively move the controller while playing, even though that movement has traditionally had no relation to what's going on in the game. Sony has picked up on this tendency and is using it to bring a new level of control to the PS3. Inside the controller is a high-precision sixaxis sensing system that accurately detects fine movements in pitch, roll, and yaw, as well as three dimensions of movement. This means that future PS3 games will be controlled by the movements of your hands rather than just your thumbs. For example, you might be able to steer a car by holding the controller like a steering wheel. While the PS3 controller looks much like its Dual Shock predecessors, it will lack the force-feedback vibration since that would only interfere with the sensing system. It uses Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology and can support wireless controllers. It's a hot-swappable system, so if your controller is running low on power, just pause your game and connect a USB 2.0 cable. You can continue playing while your controller recharges automatically. A Slew of New Games A whole host of game publishers back the PS3. Current and future titles for the system, include The Eye of Judgment, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Final Fantasy XIII, Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, Tekken 6, and Heavenly Sword. Online Sony has stated that the PS3 will have similar online connectivity and services as the next generation of Xbox Live. Calling it "an always on, always connected device," SCEI's chief technical officer Masa Chatani said the PS3 would be constantly in touch with a "PlayStation World" network "fundamentally based on community, communication commerce, and content." Technically, the infrastructure is there to make that connection. The PS3 supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T Ethernet, as well as IEEE 802.11 b/g wireless networking protocols.

 Rating:  - negative peoplewhy are all you people who put 1 star reviews about ps3 so negative,, Ps3s are awsome,, theres a lot more to do on a ps3 than on a xbox 360 or a wii,,just because the 40gb ps3 doesnt play ps2 games, does'nt really matter why play ps2 games when you can play ps3 games in high def with great picture quality, i would rather buy ps3 games than stick with my ps2 games, and anyway, thats wot the ps3 is for, new gaming experience,thats what sony is trying to do !!! so why stick around with the ps2 games? Rating: - you won't regret this buyIt took me around 6-7 months to decide whether to buy the xbox360 or the PS3. My younger brothers have the xbox which is a fantastic machine with brilliant exclusives and great online play, I'd say the same for the PS3. the reason that I chose this console over the xbox is I believe it to be future proof. fantastic buy. Rating: - great console!Ive had my PS3 a while now and I've decided to do a review for it. Now I've owned the 360 for a few months before deciding to let my brother buy it off me so I could get a PS3 and I also own a Wii. I must say that all three consoles are superbly built and designed and have great games on offer. I love both my WII and PS3 and I have great fun on both machines. The PS3 is obviously for more serious gaming, where as the Wii is for fun (although there are several serious games for it which I do own), but I enjoy both. The PS3 I thought was and is still a bit pricey but nevertheless I am happy with what I have got. It's a big console but a nice smooth looking console that offers some great options. Graphics that it produces are absolutely beautiful ... Read More: Rating: - Should I Choose an Xbox 360 or PS3?Everyone has their own views over which console is the best. You've got your Microsoft and Sony fanboys who are completely biased who drab on and on! yawn! Im fairly lucky (and possibly stupid) for having a 360, PS3 & Wii, meaning I can give my own impartial view to those not fortunate enough to own all three. Xbox 360 is a great machine but has major reliability issues? My machine has been returned for repair twice. The internal fans are so loud its ridiculous. When it works, the choice of games are far superior to other systems at the moment but that should be the case as it has been out the longest. The core system is cheap but when you start adding on the extras? harddrive, wireless bridge, wireless controller, battery and charger ... Read More: Rating:  - WarningThe PS3 is a very good console, it has decent graphics and the games get better and better. HOWEVER, a new error seems to be popping up all over the world called '80010514' which is something my PS3 has caught. This renders your blueray player useless which means no games, dvds e.t.c. According to some websites such as Gamestation, this is to do with faulty firmware downloads. This is a bad problem for me because my broadband connection isn't what you call up to scratch. I would caution anybody buying this because it seems to be an upcoming problem and Sony don't even know what it is. Don't get me wrong, it was an awesome console and I had a heck of a time on MGS4 and COD4, the graphics on MGS4 are truely stunning but because of this problem ... Read More: |
