Sony Playstation 3 Console (40GB Version)

Don't purchase this!
When you can get an 80GB for just £5 more on Amazon, there's no reason to.

Sony PlayStation 3 Console (40GB) with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3)

from: Sony

March 28, 2008
Buying this console made a big hole in my pocket and when it arrived it wasn't all I had hyped it up to be with. After 3 months of purchase, new games have come out and overall my opinion of the console is increasing.

So far it is not worth the money but now I know that it will be in the future when more games are released. Star Wars Force Unleashed and Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 coming out I am looking forward to adding even more to my collection.

Blu Ray playback is great and with a High Definition setup I am very pleased.

So my advice is if you have the money to spend and you want high quality games buy this console but at the same time be patient as you will soon learn to love it.

Sony PLAYSTATION 3 Console (80 GB Model)

from: Sony

August 22, 2008
Not everyone will agree with that opening statement but for the average person the difference between 80g and 40g is redundant. There isn't that much to download from the PSN and most you will delete after use anyway. Anyone wanting to use it as a complete media centre will no doubt go for the 80gig version or wait for the 160 gig but I imagine that is the minority of ps3 buyers.
As to whether anyone should buy a ps3 over other console is a tricky question.
FOR,
It is a well made machine and rarely has technical issues.
It has wi fi built in.
The sony network is completely free.
It has a number of exclusive titles that will only ever appear on ps3, by the same token so do all the mahines so it is a matter of ... Read More:

Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3)

from: Sony

March 23, 2007
This game was really naff tbh. Did not enjoy it at all. Oh yeah...also the fact that the hero is the only American in England as well....hmm i wonder why? Oh yes it is because Americans wouldn't buy it unless they are depicted as the heroes...get over it.

Sony Blu-Ray Disc Remote Control (PS3)

from: Sony

March 23, 2007
Terriffic item for winning over non-gamers to your purchase of the PS3. Far less fiddly than using the sixaxis, far more intuitive too.
It may not work "straight out of the box", but the pairing process takes only a few seconds, and you only do it once!
It may not control the TV volume, but most of us watch BluRay films in 5:1, so I need my cinema amp control anyway - no biggie, particularly if you are grown-up enough to get the volume right within 10 mins of starting the film.
Best of all, unlike the sisaxis, it isn't switched on & off itself, it just works when you need it, every time.

Buy it, love it.

MotorStorm (PS3)

from: Sony

March 23, 2007
This game is awful. This is what we all feared the next gen may be like....All style no substance. They should have called this game, "PS3 graphical demo 1" So unintresting so unrealistic and downright shallow. I Played the first race and thought i'd rather pick out my eyelashes. Thats right the immence pain felt from pulling out eyelashes would not only be more benificial to your my time on earth it actualy feels better.
Give the money you could have bought this game with and give it to a homeless person...or a church or a donkey sanctuary....I couldnt care less what you do with your money but DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

Burnout Paradise (PS3)

from: Electronic Arts

January 25, 2008
Burnout Paradise takes all the best elements of the previous Burnout titles and makes one of the best free roaming, car crashing racers availiable today!

You compete in any event of your choice by pulling up to any set of traffic lights and peeling out to begin a race. There are several racing types which are great fun but can get a little tiresome after a while in single player. Online is definately the best way to enjoy Paradise City whether with friends or total strangers!

The game is daunting to begin with, especially with all the possible routes to take. But once you get the hang of the city, it becomes a whole new experience and one you'll find tricky to put down.

I personally would recommend this to any racing fan, ... Read More:

This machine has become part of my life! There is so much I could say about it but i'm not going to, the list is endless!
Yes, the xbox 360 is good but this just totally kills it!
It is so much better looking and the games are brilliant!
playstation network is awesome and downloads keep appearing and appearing! get this machine for gods sake!

Assassin's Creed (PS3)

from: Ubisoft

November 16, 2007
Thsi game is a hidden gem, it lacks a mulitplayer mode but in esscence its single player is a stunning creation.

The graphics are sound and the missions vary in difficulty, the story is intriguing and the skills needed to complete the objectives are easily mastered.some might think too easily!

The game is however a little repetitive but the changing landscape and challenging mission provide adequate means of enjoyment. Horse riding, areial free running and high dives from tall buildings are great fun and provide much excitement to a new commer but by the end of the game they lack thier sparkle.

Its a good game to come back to with a renewed vigour after playing the newest blockbuster it is solid all round and in a sense might be underacheiving ... Read More:
