Supplement to high-end pc. Sony makes quality products. I own this and a PSP and both are high quality hardware.Customer Review: If your looking for Blu-ray this is the way to go..
Summary: 4 Stars
As someone who has every system on the market I get asked, "which do you prefer xbox 360 or PS3?".
I always give them the same answer.. "What are you looking to do?" I have always been on the Xbox side of the arguement.. and although I still love my 360 the PS3 does have some unique features that are hard to argue against.
Sony incorporated Bluetooth as it's apparatus communication method. This is good and bad.. The good, no direct line of site, easy config of peripherals, and the ability for future expandibility. The bad, well you cannot use a device like harmony remotes since they are not bluetooth compatible.
Wireless communication - this is a feature that quite frankly the Xbox should have (adapter can cost anywhere from $75-$100) incorporated. Sony gives you the ability to connect to the internet or your internal network without the need to purchase extra equipment.
Playstation Network - OK, here is it's great advantage.. It's free... but here's the thing.. Xbox Live Gold is superior in everyway.. Everything from Netflix to online reviews and tips, it's fantastic.. but again, if your just interested in playing a game with other folks and have no need for the frills then Playstation network is the way to go. (plus no garuantee that they won't charge in the future).
HD - This is a sore point for me.. PS3 comes with HDMI ports which will allow you to view games and movies in 1080p. For Blu-ray and even regular DVD's it's a must.. The colors and textures are awesome looking. Xbox on the other hand did not offer HDMI on it's original release and I am stuck with 1080i (component cables) or purchasing a $100 converted to HDMI. *New Xbox's do come with HDMI incorporated*
Blu-ray the best feature PS3 has.. Xbox went with HD-DVD which is now dead and PS3 went with blu-ray which as we all know won the war.
(As a side note, I have both Blu-ray and HD-DVD and the honest truth is I cannot tell the difference.. maybe an Audio/Visual dude can I cannot..
OK, lots of info.. in conclusion.. if your looking for the PURE gaming experience and the largest online community available, I recommend the Xbox.. if your looking for machine that can be a total home entertainment experience, then PS3 is the way to go.. The only negative thing I can say about the PS3 is the lack of Halo and the price point (but with blu-ray is makes it feasible)
Either way gamers.. you can't go wrong..

I'll leave the detailed reviews about gameplay to others, there are 700+ more of them to look at. Just realize that the PS3 has capabilities far beyond just video games. This particular model supports Bluray, CD, DVD, SACD playback through its disc drive. It is backward-compatible with all PS1 and PS2 games. You can stream media from your PC. It's wireless internet capable and has an ethernet jack fro wired connection. You can import your songs right into it, or copy over movies, photos, anything you want from a portable drive via USB. You can play/watch/use media from a portable drive via USB. If you want to store all your files right on the machine, you can swap out the stock hard drive and replace it with ANY 2.5" laptop SATA drive on the market. I put a Samsung SpinPoint M60S HM500LI 500GB 2.5" SATA Drive in mine, no issues whatsoever with noise or speed (Sony even encourages owners to do this, it won't void your warranty). It allows me to store all of my music, movies, games, etc. on the drive and still have 100s of gigs to spare. It can access the Playstation Store and Playstation Home, giving me access to even more media; downloadable movies and music including HD content, as well as games & demos. It supports HDMI 1.3a (and it did it almost a year before most consumer A/V products could), and can output video at full 1080p. It also can decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA and send it out as high resolution PCM, which is huge since there still aren't many affordable Bluray players that can do this. This means you don't need a receiver that can decode these formats, it just needs to be able to handle PCM and have audio output via HDMI (not all receivers that boast HDMI capability have this, especially the cheaper receivers, they only pass video). This unit has been extremely compatible with my Yamaha RX-V1800, and together they have formed the nerve center of my HT. As far as I'm concerned this is a key component for any next-gen home theater setup, providing web-based access to HD video and audio content right through the TV/Sound system. It's been around for almost 2 1/2 years and it's still cutting edge, which in this day and age is nothing to sneeze at.
For me the gaming is almost secondary, but I've enjoyed the games I purchased, the video and sound are a real treat. Some games I've enjoyed:
The Simpsons Game
Prince of Persia
LittleBigPlanet
MLB 08: The Show
Grand Theft Auto IV
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Madden NFL 09
There are more and more games being released for this platform, including some pretty excellent games exclusive to the PS3. The online gaming is also developing, and I enjoyed playing Madden '08 and Tekken (downloadable from PS Store) online.
If you really want to get nuts, attach a keyboard to this thing, install LINUX and turn it into a full-fledged computer! You could do it if you wanted to...
And that's the beauty of it. The sheer versatility of this product makes it a must for those who can afford it. This really is an integral part of my entertainment system, and it keeps getting better and better. Sony pushes firmware updates online that fix game bugs & add additional functionality as technology changes. I've had this for 2 years and haven't had even the slightest issue. My suggestion is, if you want to buy a gaming system that's far more than just a gaming system, that will still be relevant in 5 years, get the PS3.
