Abstract: Resistance: Fall of Man proved that a game can look great and play well, while including much more detailed environment damage. Shoot a window in Fall of Man and the bullet hits that exact spot and cracks around it. Shoot it a few more times and the wi...
The hardware looks great, and runs nearly silently and very cool
Wireless controller is light and feels great
Great-looking Blu-ray movie playback
Price is low for a Bluy-ray player
A lot of multimedia options
Solid backwards compatibility
Terrible online store
Slow, unintuitive browser
No background downloading
Games continue to play even if you eject the disc; you have to manually restart the UI via the controller
Messy UI
HD scaler doesnt work right
Price is high for a video game con...
I think my main problem with the PS3 is that philosophically, its a confused system. It doesnt really know what it wants to do. The 360 wants to be a social system; it wants to get you online, talking to people, playing these fun little minigames, an...
Killer gaming performance. Blu-ray player. Media card reader. HDMI out with 1080p. Works with PS1/PS2 titles.
Expensive. HDMI cable sold separately. No more vibrating controller. Hard to find on store shelves.
By combining a great gaming platform with a high-definition Blu-ray player and a host of other features, the Sony PlayStation 3 makes a welcome addition to any living room....
Awesome sound/video output
Built-in Blu-ray drive, wireless networking
Tilt-sensing capability
Online shopping features
All games HD-ready
Multimedia functionality
Free online multiplayer
60 GB hard drive
ole is better". Well first off all the consoles are great in different ways. However, if you are talking about performance and graphic wise the PS3 comes out on top. Yes, the launch titles werent great for the PS3 but this fall you have Assassins Cre...
Amusingly, all of the above ranting is just a very long-winded way of saying this is a system thats ostensibly destined to dominate the videogame industry, but not necessarily this holiday season. Right now, its a premium purchase primarily aimed at ...
The Sony PlayStation 3 will make you pretty darned pleased at what this large but sleekly-designed video game console can do. The bulk of the expense stems from the Blu-Ray DVD capabilities of the console, a format that enables high-definition DVD pla...
Swanky design with quiet operation; all games in high-definition; PSP-like user-friendly interface; plays high-def Blu-ray movies in addition to standard DVDs; built-in Wi-Fi; 60GB hard drive; Bluetooth support for wireless controllers and accessories is...
Pricey; first wave of games is somewhat anemic; doesnt upscale DVDs to HD resolution; no force feedback (rumble) support in controller; a USB port on the back wouldve been nice; glossy black finish is a fingerprint magnet; HDMI cable not included.
Sonys PlayStation 3 may be the most expensive next-gen game console, and its launch titles are not all that impressive, but its swanky design and bevy of features, including a Blu-ray drive, make it hard to resist--even at US$600.
Abstract: The Sony PlayStation 3 has incredible potential along with a feature set that is at the top of the heap right now. Considering the length of these product lifecycles, Sony is likely to be the technology leader for at least three years. Beginning in Dec...

Abstract: Even by the considerable standards of past next-generation consoles, the Sony PlayStation 3 has been subject to almost ludicrous levels of prerelease hype and hyperbole. The system was unveiled at E3 2005, where it faced derision for having a glut of u...
Viable entertainment hub. Blu-ray player. PlayStation Store. Upgradeable hard disk. Super-fast access to media
Expensive for a games console. No 1080p/24 video output for Blu-ray. Surround audio via optical or HDMI only. No WMA or WMV support. In box: only 1 SIXAXIS controller, and no AV-style remote.
The PS3 is a much better multi-purpose device than the Xbox 360, which claims similar functionality. Media management is better integrated, web browsing (while not fully standards-compliant) is more straightforward and the social elements of the device...
