    Good Points: Great graphics, good audio, blu-ray player built in.

    Bad Points: None

    General comments: I bought the 40GB version and as soon it was out of the box I noticed how good it looked in its glossy black cover, it took seconds to connect and has a few connections such as scart and HDMI, it only took a couple of minutes to use the on screen menu and set up the console, after charging the controller (it charges while connected) I tried the the dvd player which was easy to use and had a comprehensive on screen menu using the controller and then put a game in the machine, the graphics are fantastic and overall this is a superb console, another victory for Sony.

    I have had a lot of games consoles in the past, been 30 I was one of the generation that was bought up with games consoles. I have previously owned the Sony PS1 and Sony PS2 so the PS3 was the obvious choice and I haven't regretted it for 1 minute, the features are excellent such as the Blue-Ray player which allows you to hatch blue-ray DVD's in excellent High Definition quality and the graphics are second to none when the console is connected to the TV using the HDMI leads. The only bad thing a ...

    Its very creatively built. Looks state of the art, performance is great too. We can wait and trust that more games will be launched at a lesser price.

    Overall looks the part and will become the ultimate all in one box under the TV,New tv recorder card out soon, Amazon have pre-orders for around £60 which will turn you PS3 into a freeview digital recorder.10/10

    Though this console costs far more than any games console ever should it makes up for it's price in sheer quality. The console itself looks stylish and the wireless controllers are a big plus. The graphics are the biggest plus with this console, you just don't get quality like that anywhere else other than on the best desktop gaming rigs. If you have a lot of excess cash to blow this is one thing you wont regret blowing it on.

    Like the graphics, good to play and good online. Has one big flaw in my experience - hardrive - games stop loading or fatal error message appear and unable to do anything. Am on the 4th console since October, had 60gb first now 40gb, both have gone wrong. Sony seem to know of this as they exchange with no quibble and I have since found some people are on their 5th console, I have returned mine to retailers with no bother. Overall good machine when working, perhaps I've been unlucky, but think So ...

    What we gotta remember it's a gaming console and that's it basically it's designed for kids, but at a expensive price not many kids are gonna play this machine are they at this expensive price I imagine the price should be around at least 180-uk pounds this sounds about right for the playstation3, not 300 pounds on it's own kinda to much money for my opinion they need to step down on the price and make it affordable for family's and I think the xbox-360 is the same and and has the same games wit ...

    It is getting quiet a few exclusive games. Little Big Planet, Killzone 2, Haze and when these are released I would argue the ps3 is the future and will be bought over the 360. For me the only negative thing for me to say about the Sony playstation 3 is it shares a lot of games with the xbox 360... but this is nothing.

    In general, the PS3 is fine. The inability of the 40gb console to play PS2 games is quite absurd. It''s rendered my whole collection of PS2 games obsolete as I purchased the PS3 as an upgrade for my PS2. Overall, unhappy with this.

    trust me this is the system to buy, many people have said that it is too expensive but the 40GB is only £280 on play.com, and yes there arent loads of exclusives at the moment but this is a system designed with the future in mind.just look at the line up coming out in 2008.sound like im slagging the 360 off here cause i got one and it is good but it has been pushed to the limit, apart from GOW2 it hasnt got anything coming out next year, and DVD doesnt have enough storage space for most ne ...

    The Sony Playstation 3 is a great gaming console, in my opinion this should be chosen over a xbox 360 everytime, blueray (which the PS3 offers) is becoming more and more in demand as the talk over HD dvd has become obvious that they will be no more. Therefore surely it is obvious that considering more and more BlueRay DVD's and games will be released the Ps3 will become more and more relevant to the market, and making the 360 more and more less relevant. Therefore I can only advise to get your P ...

    I bought this Playstation 3 to go with my new Samsung 32" HDTV.The main reason I bought this was to play BluRay movies and with most standalone players costing double or more than the PS3 and even then there was no guarantee they could play the new type of BluRay disk whereas the PS3 was cheap and up-dateable guaranteeing it was always able to accept the new BluRay profiles which Sony likes changing quite regularly rendering existing players useless. This system is very heavy and the box almost ...

    The release of the Sony Playstation 3 throughout the World last year was marked with a quiet horrah as it was so badly delayed it seemed it would never happen, but mostly a faint whimper from a company still unsure of it's own product and it's final revision. I don't think I have ever seen such a strained launch, or been so utterly confused by a product. I don't wish to be negative, but I do think that Sony have made things rather difficult for Joe Public and it is necessary to make people awa ...

    The PS3 has some cool graphics and tons of features. Very less games for it and too expensive Well, this console is just average to me, but has the potential to be the best, for the moment I don't recommend the Sony playstation 3.

    The PS3 is a a great console, full of impressive features with in my opinion the best new hardware any console has. However, like all consoles there are flaws... NOT WITH THIS! Great HDD Drive and Brilliant resolution at 1080. I recommend the PS3!

    There are not enough great games to choose from. There should be at least a close amount of games compared to the EXTREME and AWESOME intensity of the ps2. In my opinion in a couple months these games better be good or nobody will feel like payin this much.

    All the quality games minus one or two are just the same on the 360. The fact that in the UK we pay so much more for the system than in the States or Japan is a real shame.
