 This console sell off ( means hype ; out of this world) July 21, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
WoW this is best console to date; this is coming from a person who started off playing Combat and ping pong on the Atari and graduated to the Commodore 64.
Key features:
*Great graphics
*Wireless access for both the control and internet access
*All the added options; Playsation store; internet browsing; messaging, Blue Ray (HD TV) etc..
Only one disadvantage I found is the size and weight; it is humongous and weighty
The graphic are mind boggling; I have only played Call of Duty 4 and can't wait to see get FIFA 09.
This thing Sell off; that sums it up.
Simply Sony! July 20, 2008

Its amazing, this thing can make a lot of thing the OS is very stable, the games are incredible, not like wii, the only thing i dont like its the internet explorer, i use it to watch anime and it works fine, even if its in .avi, it almost never fails to read a video, only fails if the codec its very weird or new.
The control battery life is very long and the range too, finally, a great machine, i recomend it!.
pD: It does read psone games, but doesnt read ps2.
 Here's the deal July 20, 2008

If you want to do gaming only get an xbox 360. If you want to do more like surfing and want HiDef dvds then the PS3 is the way to go.
I've enjoyed playing games on my 360 but now I'm on my 3rd one, it's getting tiring and costly to replace since I don't get the Red Rings but just dead video. It's happened twice now and Microsoft won't cover it under their expanded warranty.
One thing I immediately noticed with the PS3 is the controller, it sucks compared to the 360's. Sony update this POS as soon as you can! Just copy the 360's controller, that is probably the most perfect design, EVER. And change that dang D pad to be circular so we can enjoy games like Street Fighter. Also add the ability to use rechargeable AA batteries instead of the Lithiums you use currently for those that care about the environment. Sanyo's Eneloop AA's can be recharged 1000 times compared to the paltry 400-500 times that lithiums can be. And who want to have to disassemble their controller to change a battery that goes dead?
Other than my gripes with the controller, if PS3 develops it's network I'll probably switch over exclusively to buying all PS3 games since they're basically equal to the 360 at this point.
I also love the fact that it has a wireless adapter and browser built in, you listening Microsoft?!
So if you're shopping around and are trying to decide between the 360 and PS3 you really can't go wrong with the PS3 because it offers so much. But if you ONLY want to play games and don't need wireless networking then get the 360 since the gaming experience will be better with Xbox Live and the great controller.
UPDATE: Well I discovered the Nyko Zero PS3. This controller is pretty good. Sooooooooooooooooo much better than the Dual Shock 3. Sony has to get with the program and make some decent ergonomic controllers. Oh and the Nyko can use rechargeable AA batteries, yesss.
Awesome machine..... July 17, 2008
At $399.00 this is a good deal. The Blu-ray player alone in nearly worth that. Beautifully built, quiet, runs cool. Very happy, (and that is from a LONG time XBox360 user).
NOTE: Wait for the 80GB version at the same price!! July 16, 2008

Nice blu-ray player+console but don't buy this 40Gb version at $399 unless you urgently want it. The new 80GB version was announced recently and will be available in August/September for the same price or even less if you catch a promotion. The current 40GB version is worth buying only if its price is around $300.
And boy, do I HATE Amazon now charging 8.4% NY sales tax!! I've begun shopping less here and more elsewhere.
