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.

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!!!

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!

A reliable system. I like the 320gb harddisk for movies I download. Play TV is a dream (Freeview PVR tuner) battery on the wireless Controller lasts for ages Cheap to run, uses about 120watts Games on any console are very good nowadays

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!

The most superb games console out there, it has brilliant graphics, great range of games and most importantly it will make you happy

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.

I think the fact it has a blu ray player makes it great value for money
blue players cost the same amount as a ps3!

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. Also the controllers are sixaxies motion sensitive. The games for it are brilliant. There's also a downloadable feature called playstation home which a online game where you can hang out with your friends and customize your character. Get a ps3! :)

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 firmware is easily updated via wireless connection (which is the difference between a good Blu Ray player and a bad one, except not many standalone Blu Ray players have a wireless connection so it's pretty manual). Did I mention it has built in WiFi and Bluetooth?
PSN (Playstation Network) is the platform used to connect to other users online if you have a broadband connection. It's free (unlike the rival company), reliable, and has lots of useful tools. You can access the Playstation Store for free to download trial versions of games before you fork out between £15 - £40 for them and discover you don't like them. WipEout HD is the only true 1080p game right now and is around £14 currently via Playstation Store.
The wireless controller lasts around 30 hours, and takes 30 mins to charge (It can also be used whilst charging, so you get 1 hour play from 1 minute charge.
Warranty is 1 year pick up & return, but Sony are known for repairing units over 1 year. After all, it's all about market share, and they don't want us buying an X Box (not that you would want to after buying this power house of a beast)....
Sony have got this product down to a T.

Agreed, the PS3 is close to perfect, What I found to be a real good companion for the PS3 is the NAS (QNAP TS 109 II Pro) with twonkymedia, I stream all my media content from this source to the PS3, No need for burning dvd's or use of usb memory pins. (No, I'm not from Qnap :)). I admire Sony for always being a step ahead when it comes to hardware.
