  • The sophisticated hardware in the system makes the Sony PS3 as a Blu-ray player a bit noisier compared to other players. But this along with the remote and design issues are overshadowed by the amazing performance and solid set of features that the PS3...

  • Smaller and lighter, Quieter and more energyefficient,
  • Only two USB ports instead of four, Backward compatibility is limited to PS1 games
  • Slim-line game console system stands out for its value, versatility, and options, and rates 4.5 stars for its efforts. As a Blu-ray player, it rates 3.5 stars; the Blu-ray disc images it outputs are good, but not as pleasing as those on our top-perfor...

  • This cheaper iteration of the next-generation Playstation is attractive for those who have been waiting for a good enough price reduction to warrant an upgrade from their old PS2. With blu-ray movie playback now finally gaining traction following the e...

  • The New 120GB PS3 “Slim” is a fine looking machine. It’s stylish, it performs well and it’s priced right. Sure it may take a few seconds longer to load Blu-ray discs, but it’s not a big deal. If you already own a PS3, we’re not sure why you’d bother to...

  • Abstract:  From the outset, the PlayStation 3 has billed itself as more than just another game console. And this machine lives up to its promise: Its one of the most capable Blu-ray Disc players available today. The 80GB PS3 ($400, as of 2/18/09) has built-in gi...

  • If you have an original Playstation (some of its games are compatible with the Playstation 3 80 GB) or if you're changing platforms, you definitely want to give this unit a look. While lacking in some key features, it does provide a true HD gaming expe...

  • Terrific gaming performance. Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. Free networked gaming. Integrates a high-quality Blu-ray player. Supports Blu-ray Profile 2.0.
  • Costs more than competing consoles. Sony has removed memory card slots. Online features lag behind Microsofts Xbox LIVE. No dedicated Blu-ray remote.
  • It may cost more, but as a high-definition gaming system and a high-quality Blu-ray player, the PlayStation 3 slays the competition....

  • The PS3 has excellent picture quality, comparable to and sometimes better than that of standalone players, Sony's PS3 is an unbelievable bargain, considering you get a gaming console, media hub and Bluray player all in one box for less than $400, The unit is proving to be somewhat futureproof, thanks to an Ethernet port and insightful firmware upgrades from a motivated Sony, which wants to de
  • The included remote is cumbersome and it is sometimes hard to find the appropriate buttons, especially for the nongamer, While the audio performance is pretty strong, the PS3 doesn't have the cult following that the PS2 has developed among audiophiles. It is altogether possible that the reason why the audiophiles like the PS2 is because it isn't the newest thing (they always like the old stuff
  • With a recent retail price drop and significant firmware upgrades to make the PS3 even more accessible and flexible, the player is a true bargain, offering a lot for the money. You get a gaming console, a Blu-ray player and more. You can't go wrong wit...
