List All 36 PricesSony's Playstation 3 is a technological marvel featuring integrated WiFi and a Blu-ray player. But how does it fair on games? Read on to find out! Read more
Perttu's thoughts: I could have written so much more about this console. For example... Sony's vision, Home and Game 3.0? I don't want to market their promises about future content they should already be offering. Go watch Sony's GDC '07 keynote. I watched it at GameSpot, but you can find it elsewhere too. Stored media and CD playback functionality? Uh why bother when I already have the Xbox for that sort of thing? Read more
Even though PS2 backward compatibility has been dropped from this version, the 80GB PS3 is still a superb Blu-ray player and high-definition game console. Read more
Have you been waiting to take the Blu-ray plunge? Are you worried that your library of PS1 and PS2 games will be obsolete? Dive fearlessly into the future with the PS3, an elegant conglomeration of the best entertainment technology. Read more
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 experience, the new controller is excellent and the Blu-ray disc player is just about thrown in for free. If you're coming from the PlayStation 2, you may have to think a little harder about this one. Read more
The PS3 would be a perfect Blu-ray disc player for your home, if it wasn't for the fact that some dedicated players can now beat in on price. If you're in the market for any of its other features though--gaming or accessing multimedia from your PC--then it's a great choice as an all-round device that offers excellent quality audio and video.

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. Read more
Even with a $100 price cut in July 2007, Sony’s deluxe console didn’t gain much traction with gamers. Originally, its list of titles brought the phrase ‘weak sauce’ to mind. But the PS3 is a technical powerhouse with loads of untapped potential, packing a 4.6 GHz multicore cell processor, a 550-MHz graphics chip, and 256 MB of RAM – better specs than some desktops.

Arguably the most powerful gaming system, the PS3 is also the largest system on display here. It takes a sheer stint of effort to make the Xbox 360 look sleek and stylish, but next to the PS3 the Xbox doesn’t look so bad. Read more
Sony's PlayStation 3 may be the most expensive next-gen console, and its library of exclusive games isn't very impressive, but its swanky design and bevy of features, including a Blu-ray drive, make it hard to resist Read more
After all the money I spent on my home computer and Sony just makes it so much easier to game with a console. Throw a disc in and sit back with a controller or two and prepare to rock. Its a 1,2,3 operation man. Very simple to have fun with this system. Graphics are good and the games are nice too. You no longer need a Bachelor degree in computer science to enjoy amazing graphics and good times. Just pick up one of these babies and prepare to quit you job. Read more or see product
I was happy with my PS2. I bought the PS3 because I thought I was getting the complete multimedia experience. I believed that I was getting a next generation gaming console, making my first splash into Blu-ray movies, was going to be able to watch all of my saved content from my computer, watch Netflix. Surf the Web. Go to network websites and stream my favorite episodes of latest shows right from my living room couch. Read more

I made the mistake of copying all my wife's Xmas CDs onto my PS3, categorizing the music as Holiday, and showing her her how to play all the songs in random mode. Now she actually likes the PS3 and is starting to understand it is not just a game console and DVD player. Read more
Ok, so bias ahead, I'm more into PC games. That said, I have the PS3 and the Xbox, and Xbox has more games that I like. But really, that's a moot point as I haven't played a game on any console in something like 4 months. That aside, I wanted to use one of the devices for all my entertainment needs. Read as media streaming. Yes, the PS3 has a leg up in having a Blu-Ray drive. However, I'm fairly happy with high quality DVD rips streaming to my Xbox. Read more
when i got it i was amazed, all my mates who where saying how crap a ps3 is and how i should get a Xbox but i've played on an xbox and its graphics are much better and the live on psn is actually not that bad. if you have the money get one of these not an xbox. Read more
Over the past year or so, there has been a lot of speculation over whether the Playstation 3 from Sony is better than the Xbox 360 from Microsoft or not. I believe the Playstation 3 is much better. The Playstation just offers a greater amount of brilliant features. The only downside people pick out with this Playstation is the fact that it only has a 60GB memory. Read more
I love my ps3, the touch sensitive eject & power switches could be more responsive. I really hate the dull finish on the ps3 slim, id rather have the fingerprint magnet! Read more

This happened after i pressed start on a UBISOFT commercial before i came to the game menu ( By the way the Game this happened on is Prince of Persia). Coming to the Menu the sound was glitchy and it got worse when i started the game. A few moments in, the sounds off completly. I restarted the Playstation and found that not even the little tune that plays when you turn the ps3 on worked. I even tried to play PoP agian - though there was no sound. I'm clueless as to what has happened. Any ideas?

Am considering purchasing a Blu Ray disc player with Netflix capability. Am considering the Samsung BD-p3600 and the Sony PS-3. Can anyone comment on a comparison of those 2 devices? Am not sure if the PS-3 can stream Netflix video.
Answered by Ethan 2009-12-07:
I would say the Sony PS-3. It has good performance and features.
