 Great Decision August 13, 2008
Emmanuel Zamor
Truly a entertainment System, from listening to music in my room to beating my opponents online. Great, especially when the friends come over!
Pretty cool August 11, 2008

Playstation is pretty cool. I was amazed by how functional it was and packed with features. It has gone from being just a game console to a full entertainment system.
Had To Give A Review Based On Another August 8, 2008

"BLU-RAY:
The PS3 does have Blu-ray, which has won the format war with HD DVD. However, I don't think disc media is going to be around much longer anyway. I believe the real future in high-definition video is larger hard drives and the ability to download movies and videos directly to your console, which the 360 seems to be focusing on. It is worth noting that Netflix is going to make streaming videos available on the 360 in the fall of 2008. "
this was one of the statements given by another reviewer. i can't believe this person thinks that digital downloads will ever take the place of a disc.(hardware on any scale)peoeple want to be able to feel and touch something they've bought. there is a sense of pride in knowing it's their at your fingertips. digital downloads sounds great but there are some noteable problems. i'm only going to discuss the obvious ones. something can happen to a HDD and then you lose that digital download and possibly be forced to be buy it again...one other problem is that digital downloads don't sounds or look near as good as a blu ray/hd-dvd disc
why would anyone want to settle for less?
all in all the ps3 is a great gaming console on all levels. i don't like it as much as my 360 for gaming reasons. from a media outlook it's fantastic
also keep in mind the the ps3 is currently the only blu ray player that can be upgraded:)
 Dont buy the PS3 40gb if you want to play PS2 games August 7, 2008

I got a PS3 off of Ebay. Bad idea. While it works great and it is what is advertised, I didn't know that it can't play PS2 games. I would never expect to buy something from $ony that wasn't compatible with other $ony products.
Ah well, live and learn. Buy a PS3 80gb or 60gb (check on Sony.com for the latest details on PS2 compatability) if you want to play PS2 games.
Well worth the money August 6, 2008

Alright so i just wanted to put my opinion on here about the PS3. I recieved it a few days ago i was impressed with the design of the console. i mean yeah i saw pictures of it on here but its way better when its right in front of you. Everything was easy to set up, it took a few mintues to get the whole running. Thank god i didn't have to buy the HDMI cable (My 47 inch had already). When i turned it on everything was easy to navigate through. The main menu is really nice, very easy to understand. I immediately went on the web just to see how good it is. and i thought it was actually pretty good. the playstation store is really nice, u get to dowloads a bunch of demos, get old games like PS1 games, u get to prviews for movies and much more. I read that some people thought it was noisy, not in my case it did not have the fan noise. With my purchase of the PS3 i ordered 3 games with it, NCAA Football 09, GTA 4, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. I have yet to play any of them, but i am sure they won't disappoint. One of the things that swayed me to purchase the PS3 was the fact it was a Blue ray player too. i am a big movie guy, i like watching movies and all that. i watched 300 on it and it don't not disappoint at all, it was redicilous thats how good it was. i mean that alone is worth buying the PS3. So in conclusion i believe anybody whos a gamer don't matter if your just a casual or hard core gamer, a movie buff like me should get this console. Basically u getting three things out of it ... Blue ray player ... game console.. Internet. what else can you ask for. If you don't have one...... get one its worth it!!!
