    Sony Playstation is an excellant games console best on the market with the added bonus of a bluray player and web capiabilities make it all round good buy with only the hi price as a down fall, check the returns policy of the store you buy from (I bought mine from GAME and had no difficulties getting a replacement when my first one broke after three months, although some shops like ARGOS will only replace with a new one if returned within 30 DAYS after purchase and after that they'll send it for repair). On the whole braking down subject I'd recommend an extented warrenty I got one from GAME when I bought mine for an extra £25 and it cover breakdown and accidental for 3 years!!

    The Sony Playstation 3 is a brilliant console. Great value for a Blu-Ray player (optical cable and 1080p), nevermind the additional gaming service. PSN is free, and includes demos as well as old PS1 classics (e.g. Worms) and new games (Wipeout HD).
    A very good range of games. And with the new exclusive GTA came due to come out soon, it sets to be an XBOX360 beater in all areas.

    Its the best console ive ever owned, anyone debating wether to get an xbox or ps3, get a ps3. I sold my xbox to get my ps3, and ive never regretted it. The graphics are brilliant, the games are brilliant and the features are great. Psn (playstation network), is free, unlike xbox live. And you can also surf the web on it for free. You can buy games of playstation store, download demos (for free) and also download add ons, trailers etc etc.... The ps3 has built in blue-ray, built in bluetooth. Als ...

    Sony Playstation 3 has high-Definition graphic, great audio, great games like metal gear solid 4 and grand theft auto IV. Hard drive for storing games, music, videos and photos. High-Definition Blu-ray player, and also plays DVD and CD. If you want more information or want to by a PlayStation 3 check out this site. www.squidoo.com/Playstation3shopping In conclusion, it is the best invention by Sony.

    I have bought the Sony Playstation 3 for my son and he loves it. he is on it non stop and so am i. the memory capacity is great as you can always upgrade it to something like 500gb if your'e that sought of gamer who likes to store lots of demos and music. the graphics for this console are amazing and better than the xbox 360 as i have compared. really fun to play and obviously the must have console.

    Got the Sony playstation 80GB model with choice of 2 games, 2 Blu Ray movies, and HDMI cable for £299 from HMV. Looks amazing standing there with it's glossy finish and no noise from the fan at all (unlike my X-Box 360 Elite).Firstly played The Dark Knight and quality / effects were so stunning I had to stop playing it and call some friends round to enjoy it. Secondly played Tiger Woods '09 and again was blown away by the amazing graphics. The Blu Ray functionality has lots of options and ...

    Sony Playstation 3, great games, no need to buy add ons (it has built in WI-fi, bluetooth, Bluray player!!!, USB, Web browser and many more). Quite stylish. I paid £425 for mine when it launched. Worth every penny, the only bad thing i can think of is that is costs more than other consoles but it is definitely worth it. A bluray player in shops would cost at least £200 on it's own and the ps3 has one built in with tons of other features for only £300.

    Overall, the console is great and like i said the graphics are great and if it's on HD you would really go mad. The best game i like on ps3 in 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand, you have to buy it, it so coooooooooooool. The bone crunching moves are great and the weponary is sick and the graphics on HD are just perfect and i would give the ps3 8.9/10 it's great.

    This console is what future consoles should be like, an all in one entertainment system with more capabilities than the other 2 major consoles. If the 360 had all these features I may have bought it before the PS3, IMO the next generation of consoles should have new breakthrough technology to set them more apart from PC game machines.

    This games console is a great console as the console is really quiet and can use the internet free if have a wireless router.
    You can also parental block if need to and the games consoles controllers are wireless and no wires needed accept for a charger.

    The bad points are
    The games console can overheat occasionally and console goes off. and can only play Blue Ray type discs on the newest Playstation 3 type. Also the controllers need charging alot!

    I have owned my 60gb PS3 since the day of release and love it. I'm on it most day either gaming, watching movies or downloading PSP games & demos. The PS3 is so user freindly and has so much more to offer than any other. The 60gb will play most PS2 and PS1 games but unfortunatly the later 40gb and 80gb won't (they say a update should sort this out at xmas).
    I can't understand why anyone would say that a 360 is better, the PS3's graphics are much better, there game catalog is getting bigger ever ...

    I am on my PS3 all day, I love the games it has and I love the 1080p HD ready. I like the way it has blue ray DVDs. I have connected to my PS3 to my laptop wirelessly so I can listen to my music on my PS3 off my laptop. Online gaming is free and you can put different operating software on it such as (Linux yellow dog). You can connect keyboards and mouse to it via USB. I like the way it won't break down and slide in CD (no CD tray). It can run DivX and every other format. You can get it in diffe ...

    Had some spare cash last year so got a PS3. Already had a 360 so it was just a luxury really, not bought to replace the Xbox. It's ok I suppose, only use it to play the odd PS3 specific game and watch movies. If a game is out on both formats I'll always get it for 360. PS3 is rubbish online. You can't talk to anyone so what's the point? For something that came out a year after the 360, the online capabilities are a joke. I know some people just want to play online with no interaction but it's no ...

    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 fan ...

    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 ...
