One Sleek Console that needs a Bunch of Fixing. (I'd...

Strengths: Sleek Console Exterior, Easily Expandable Hard Drive, Motion Control, Blu-Ray Movie & 1080p output, Multimedia capabilities and Free Online gaming, Backwards Compatibility, Standardized Ports

Weakness: Runs pretty hot, No Rumble in Controller, Handshake problems with some HDMI ports, Controller Loses Sync at Times, Average Launch Lineup, Ipod doesnt work proper, Sony Online store Slow.

Well the big ol PS3 is finally out, and as usual I had to give one a try for myself. Initially in my Xbox 360 review I noted how the Xbox 360's Core system is completely gimped and a waste of money. I think this sentiment has carried over to the 20GB Version of the PS3, which just isn't true. At Worst the 20GB is on equal to what you get with the 60GB in terms of Value. Both of them have a hard...

20GB PS3 is the best deal!

Strengths: 20GB one is a way better deal

Weakness: none

It is finally here, the console that many of us have been waiting for! The Playstation 3 console is so nice and shiny! It is the hot, new toy that everyone wants this holiday. This console comes with two available options the 20GB and the 60GB. However, the 20GB one is a way better deal. You can stick in any 2.5" notebook hard drive in easily. There's even a slot where you can pull it out without...

PS3

Strengths: Total eye candy. Play is smooth. Online hookup is easy with the right equiptment. Sounds awesome on even on a plain TV. DVD CD Blue ray all awesome. So many options to choose in the side scroll bar.

Weakness: Cant really come to any right now and have been on this for 2 weeks now. I know it runs alittle hot but so what. Only thing is upon first online connection had to wait for this 20 minute system update.

First of all with all the Playstation releases I was very happy. To me seemed better than all other consoles. Now with this PS3 its more than proof of which the PS3 will rule the industry in gaming for along time. I been on this puppy for 2 weeks now and let me just let everyone know that does not have it then save your zoard (money in my lingo) to go out and get one of these. I cant wait for...

SOLID!

Strengths: Cell Processor, Blu-Ray, Hi-def graphics, wireless-ness, removeable hard drive, online play, Playstation Store, internet browser, can run 2nd operating system, music/photos/video, XMB interface/

Weakness: All the games that we REALLY want to see aren't out yet, only a few good launch titles. No chrome trim. Gets dusty VERY quickly.

Overall, this is just a very well-done, thorough system. I was skeptical while deciding whether or not to get this over the Wii, but I'm VERY satisfied with my choice- $500 went a LONG way. This thing has a lot of options for everything, very customizable. I plan on getting a larger hard drive and loading a copy of YDL5 on it to replace my current computer. I might try loading a copy of XP onto...
