Video Game Reviews of PlayStation 3 160 GB Uncharted: Drake's Fortune PackCustomer Review: Horrible Warranty and Issues Ruins a Would be Great Console Summary: 1 StarsUntil recently I would have touted the PS3 as the greatest gaming console ever, however, in reality, the lack of available games, terrible warranty, and refusal of Sony to fix known problems in the Blu Ray Drive makes this a terrible value unless you plan on also purchasing a 5-year extended warranty. Even microsoft wised up and fixed their known issues for free on the Xbox 360.
Because of a known failure, I now have to either pay $260 to fix my PS3 and hope it doesn't happen again, or throw it in the trash and get a new one hopefully with the longest available extended warranty from Best Buy.
I never thought I would bash Sony, but my PS2 still works and I bought it in... 2000. My PS3 barely lasted over a year never being moved, thrown, dropped, etc... and is now completely useless unless I feel like turning it on and seeing the home screen. After researching my problem online, I see that there are hundreds and probably thousands of PS3 owners who have experienced the same failures and have sent petitions to Sony to extend the warranty on certain components, but to no avail.
To be fair, if it weren't for the horrible failure issues and terrible warranty it is an amazing gaming console, the free online gaming world is great, and the Blu-Ray player is the perfect touch allowing it to not only be a gaming system, but the centerpiece to your home theatre system... if it works.
Customer Review: The best system sony has come out with yet Summary: 5 StarsI bought this on april 8th of this year. so I've had this system for about 2 months and I have to say that it is the best system yet that sony has come out with yet! yeah this one may not play ps2 games but really what do you need that for when once you get this system you won't even want to play your old ps2 games cause you will have so much to do on your ps3.And now with home out you will always be busy.And since i got this system I have 2 full downloaded games from the ps store and 11 disk games on the system and home and I have 98 gigs free so this is the best option for someone that plans on having alot of games.Also even if you plan on upgrading you can take the 160gig and put it in a external enclosure and then you basiclly get a free hard drive.Now on to the graphics. They r so mind blowing and way better than the 360.and if you have a HDtv I recommend that you go out and get a HDMI cable so you can see the games and movies the way they were meant to be seen.And another good thing is that if you want blue-ray you don't have to go out and get a seperate blue-ray player cause it has one built into it.And also when you watch regular dvd's it will upscale them to where it is like watching a HD movie.And when I saw A.Dent's review it was very helpful in making my choice on this product so follow his review(just don't listen to what he says about if you plan on upgrading).Other than that he is right to a T.
Customer Review: Awesome Machine! Summary: 5 StarsThe Play Station 3 has so many option it feels like a computer and not just a simple game console. You can do so much stuff, and not to mention the sweet sweet games. The price (of both the console and the games) are a bit expansive but completely worth the experience. The game (Drake) is amazing and it was my first time with PS3 game. I do recomend using the PS3 with a HDTV and HDMI cables for the most incredible gaming experience.
Customer Review: A great console Summary: 5 StarsHad the playstation 3 for about a month and very pleased with the performance.....Im a hardercore PC gamer and was surprised how well this console played Call of Duty 3......Some frame rate slow down at some point of the action, but overall it is very good and the graphics is great....The game Uncharted is a great game as well...excellent graphics
Customer Review: COME ON give me full 1080 support already i'm getting tired!! Summary: 4 StarsWell with all the bragging about the PS3s blu ray capabilities i think the games should follow suite with having full 1080p support which they dont.
Heres a list of games that do, dont, or just 1080i.
1080p-Games
Call Of Duty 4
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Baja Edge Of Control-WHY??
Dead Space
A few sports games
Little Big Planet
Lair-Again WHY??]
Devil May Cry 4
Can't remember to many others
1080i
Condemned Bloodshot
KILLZONE 2-COME ON!!!
Call of Duty World at War
Resistance 1
Assassins Creed-Pffft
Anyway
720p only-UNBELIEVABLE
Resistance 2-Still New
Motorstorm-Pacific Rift
Drakes Fortune-WHAT!!!!
Haze-I know who cares right
Farcry 2-WHAT!! NO!
Resident Evil 5-You have to be kidding me
Infamous may or may not-I doubt it.
Rachet and Clank
Other than some of these exclusives about 85% or the other 3rd party games do NOT support full 1080p. Sorry but i just spent only 578$ on a 37' VIZIO LCD at full 1080p and i want my moneys worth. I love my PS3 for the blu ray player and some of the exclusives although you can't trully see them in all there glory. As far as everything else other than some laggy frame rate in games, its just fine. But lets utilize it developers, cranks out the max and lets see what it can do, quit holding back and blow the load already!! I'm tire of waiting. I stick to my elite for hardcore gaming at full 1080, thanks microsoft.
