 3 week Review January 6, 2009
Arnav Desai
Not sure if I can add something which others have not stated already. I got my item in the time frame they mentioned. It was in good condition although I was a bit underwhelmed by the packaging(i.e. the retail , not speaking about amazon box) The console is heavier than it looks and is fairly wide at its highest curve.
I could not fix it in my pretty thin slot cabinet. Works perfectly well as of now, have been using it mostly for watching Blu-Ray movies, though did buy Heavenly Sword and Uncharted Drakes Fortune games(exclusive to PS3). I also own a 360 which gets most of my gaming time(gamerscore is the reason I go to it,almost exclusively). You also get Home with it(requires an Internet connection to download and use), though I am not a big fan tbh.
Since it uses bluetooth to connect to its controller and pretty much anything else(includes keyboard and mouse)your normal universal remotes wont work with it which is its biggest con I guess. Also, the on screen menu for watching movies is really bad(tiny icons & text describing them is not with the icon itself).
 Love this machine! January 6, 2009

Can't express how much I love this machine.
For the past few months I've been eying all three systems, the Wii, Xbox 360 and yes the PS3. Finally, these past holiday season I just had to pull the trigger. Never looked back since. Now don't get me wrong each of the systems have their pros and cons, but my reasoning for choosing the PS3 was simply all the functionality it had to offer.
Whether I felt like being a rock-star on guitar hero world tour or crashing on the couch to watch a blu-ray movie with the family this system has it all and then some. Every movie and game I've played on this system has just blown me away. A definite must own all-in-one. You won't be disappointed.

 It just cannot compete. January 4, 2009

I've always been a Sony fan, but the ps3 just cannot compete with the competition today. There are only two problems with the system, however, these two problems pretty much make up the entire reason a console is bought.
The first problem with this system is the pricing. At 400 dollars, this console dwarfs others in terms of price. I could easily buy two x-box 360s for the same price. The games must also be factored in; 60 dollars for new releases will add to the pile spent. You'll also be tempted to buy a larger hard-drive. Game demos easily reach 3 gigs in memory. Eventually, the avid gamer is going to have to buy a larger drive. You also have to remember the price of controllers (assuming you'll be wanting more than one).
The second real problem with the system has to be the game selection. With the Wii you get the motion sensing games and the standard Mario/Zelda stories. Xbox has it's Halo, Left4dead, and other really good titles. There are few games exclusive to the ps3 (MGS4 being the only good one coming to mind). Even Grand Theft Auto and Final Fantasy, which have long been Sony's backbone, have gone the way of the 360 and Nintendo. The announcement that Final Fantasy XIII would be ported to the 360 was perhaps the nail on the coffin for the ps3.
In all, what you're really buying is an expensive xbox 360 that may work a little better but has fewer games to choose from. As much as it pains me, I simply cannot bring myself to like this system.
 More than $1,100 and I still can't play January 4, 2009

I have been playing video games for more than 20 years. My first gaming console was the Nintendo Entertainment System. Since then, I have owned SNES; N64; Game Cube; XBOX; XBOX 360; PS1; PS2; and now, a PS3. IAfter extensive gameplay on this generation's gaming consoles, I have to say that I am extremely disappointed with the leap off the cliff with the quality assurance of the consoles and games.
I purchased the whole HDTV/HDMI/PS3 package. The PS3 60 GB was working fine until I played Fallout 3. After hours of frustrating glitches; game freezes; unresponsive controllers; heavy audio static; system resets and crashes, my first PS3 wouldn't read Fallout 3. The problem became so bad the system will no longer read any disc. Since it's out of warranty, I am kind of screwed. I went ahead and purchased a newer model of the PS3 80 GB. I have also tried six copies of the game, all with the same painstaking results.
All Sony Technical Assistance could offer me was a replacement. I'm sorry, but that won't be enough. Why is it that I have to send in a brand new PS3, not even a week old, in to be replaced? The same thing happened with Microsoft and my XBOX 360. I had thought when I was purchasing a PS3, I was escaping the system freezes and substandard customer service. Well, I was dead wrong. I never had these issues with previous generation consoles.
Now I'll be out of a PS3 for another two weeks. What happens if Fallout 3 doesn't play, then? Neither Sony or Bethesda will claim responsibility for releasing bugged software/hardware.
