“Our families review”

★★★★☆

written by TheRounds on 12/10/2013

Much improved machine, having used the old for over 4 years we thought it was time for the family to enjoy an upgrade. The kids love it but more importantly we get to play together as a family. A perfect present for any young boy or adolescent!

“Good improvement”

★★★★☆

written by KnoxCraul419 on 31/05/2013

From the 2 this is a much better Playstation, the graphics have improved significantly, and so has the speed and precision. I love the fact that I can use it as a home network and have everything in the house connected to it, television, computer you name it, and everything is controlled from there, the space it has is more than enough to hold my music and movies, kids use it, wife uses it, and I use it, a great complete tool that functions as a game console as well as a home hub.

“PS3 breaks as warranty runs out!! AGAIN!!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Bazz74 on 17/03/2013

Ok, I have bought 3 brand new PS3's over this last few years and everyone of them have broken down as the warranty has run out... This time my PS3 is 6 months out of warranty, and Sony PS3 tried to sell me some remanufactured console for £110. If I am forking out a few hundred quid for anything I expect it to last for a few years. That's my 3rd now so I do think Sony are taking the P. Now they want my broken PS3 for nothing yet charge me for some other dud so it can break down just over the year as well. My review here is to make people aware about just what they are buying. If you want to be out of pocket go right ahead, this is just a warning. Does anybody else think this is a coincidence that 3 new PS3's have broken down as the warranty runs out. I have a laptop cost me £300 5 years ago and haven't had a problem. I have a Wii 6 years now and still working. PS3 and Sony have a lot to answer for. I won't be buying your dud machines again that's for sure. I will be selling all my games as I don't intend to make them any richer and if any of you have any sense, you will do the same. Don't listen to the rubbish its this good and that good. Imagine paying £300-400 for a new PS4 with 1 years warranty. That's a big sting in the pocket, for anyone. Don't bother ringing Sony for help, its out of warranty and they will want to take your broken PS4 and sell you another one but this time your lucky, you get 3 months warranty. Its ridiculous. Warranties should be 2-3 years, why not? I've a funny feeling this would cost Sony too much money. Do yourselves a big favour, SAVE YOUR MONEY, stay away from SONY and their terrible products. SONY try and sue me, see how far you get you scumbags!!!!!

“One of the best gaming consoles”

★★★★★

written by on 15/03/2013

my time with the playstation 3 has been fantastic. when this amazing game is pared with the sony exclusive games such as the well acclaimed uncharted series, great visual overwhelm you, and you are given one of the most beautiful visual displays ever experienced. one of the many great things about the playstation would be its easy to learn controls, contributed with the games. also while playing u will encounter a very few amount of glitches, because of the game or system itself. all in all i would recommend this product to anyone looking for a console that will give you the most bang for your buck.

“My Review On The Ps3”

★★★★★

written by DezSanchez on 01/03/2013

I have had a Playstation 3 for about 2 years now. It is a great system to own and have! I play it about 10 hours a week and love every bit of it. I would highly recommend this system over a Xbox 360. Plus you don't even have to pay to play online! The system itself can take quite a beating as well! Hope this review helped!!!

“ps3 updates stick with 360”

★★★☆☆

written by dan360 on 05/08/2012

I brought a ps3 3 days ago and still have not played it as every time i go to play it has some sort of update , first the console updated which took some time so no joy that day, day 2 put the game in and message on screen to said to play this game it must be installed on hard drive which i thought would be quick how wrong, day 3 im sitting waiting to play as the game has 8 updates before i play what a joke , now i remember why I sold my first ps3 and stock with the 360, much better for people who dont have all day to play, quick updates cannot compare graphics as have not played yet ive only really brought to play games that are not on xbox but because im joined to love film so i just rent games and now blue ray dvds .why do update on ps3 take so long compared to the xbox it just so boring

“Slim, quiet, works like a dream!”

★★★★★

written by GeraldH on 13/07/2012

I bought the slim ps3 around a year ago in a package with FIFA12. I'm mightily impressed by all the extras you get with this, such as the blu-ray player (which has changed my life!) and the web video services like iPlayer and 4OD. I heard some people complain about the level of noise the machine makes when it's running, but to be honest I hardly hear it when the TV's sound is on. Since I bought I soundbar for my TV (which I would also recommend) I hardly hear the playstation at all. The wireless controller's battery lasts a long time and the gameplay is a huge step up from ps2. I have never been a huge gamer so the extras that come with the ps3 make it perfect for me. Free online play is a great bonus, I enjoy thrashing cocky kids!

I brought this console on the 3rd of october with high expectations because the price was thenomenal! i got it and it didnt work so i took it back the same day and got a replacement but the replacement broke every cd i put in it! so i took that one back and got another replacement it all seemed ok until it started smoking and blew up and it never worked again.

“AMAZING! ”

★★★★★

written by drinmurf on 04/09/2011

Do not get an xbox or nintendo because they suck compared to this! Amazing graphics, blue ray player, hd, online gaming and downloads, huge range of games, fantastic looks, easy to use and original controller. Controller is wireless but you get a usb charger which is great. Buy one!
