Flimsy exterior
Cheap drive mechanism
Tough price point
Expensive for a games console
Few outstanding exclusive titles in launch line-up
Limited backwards compatibility
Only comes with composite cables
Sixaxis capability needs to be better utilised
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
Abstract: It does the job, and loaded our Blu-ray discs fractionally faster than any of the standalone players, but unless you are a gamer, we reckon you’ll still be better off with a dedicated player.

The PS3 is a flexible multimedia maestro, capable of far more than just spitting out next-gen games with rapier-sharp graphics. This beautifully built console also delivers glorious high definition movies thanks to its Blu-ray capabilities, and it’s...
On the flip side, the PS3 is a little lacking when it comes to top games, especially compared to the far cheaper Xbox 360. Whilst there are plenty of solid titles knocking around, Sony’s console still doesn’t have an exclusive “killer ap...
Die-hard gamers would be better suited to the Xbox 360 and its huge library of top titles, but there’s no denying that the PS3 is an impressive machine of many home entertainment talents, should you be more media minded.Best offers for the Sony Play...
