2 Stars Review of an XBOX 360 owner.
I am very dissapointed with the PS3 purchase. The fan is VERY loud when your watching movies, playing games, basically anytime. I thought the xbox 360 had a loud fan but the PS3 is louder and its VERY distracting. I purchased a full 1080p television to get the most out of the PS3. Afterall, Sony talked and talked about 1080p and how it is the future. Howerever if you look at the majority of games, very few of them are in full 1080p. This is not the case with XBOX 360 games where its just about impossible to find a game NOT in 1080p. Check the back of the games to see.
The unit is very big, bulky and heavy. Online is a total joke on PS3. It’s too late in the game for Sony to catch up with Microsoft here. XBOX live is so smooth, mostly lag free and you truly FEEL like you are part of an online community. Its so easy to meet friends, and keep in touch with them by either messaging, voice or video chat. Sony just has this clunky afterthought for their online service.
I am not by any means a “fanboy” as they are called. I just want to put my two cents out there for people who are looking to invest the money in this system.
5 Stars Great system
Best way to go about getting a Blu-Ray player. It provides for hours of fun in gaming, and the movies are incredible. I would recommend this system to anyone. As an aside, I don’t think the 160GB version is a better buy, even if it comes with a game. Hard drives are very inexpensive, and if drive space is a concern, you can certainly upgrade for less money. Plus you’re not stuck with a game you may not want.
3 Stars lots of memory, great graphics
It’s what a PS3 should be & has lots of great features,but wish it came equipped with ps2 game compatibility. Also, don’t care for all the system updates that take a long time to download & poor internet connection.
5 Stars PS3 – Best gaming console ever made
Pros:
Easy setup.
Blue Ray player.
Graphics / Display is at some god level.
MGS4 , Resistance 1 and 2 , Drake.
PSP and PS3 compatibility.
Cons:
Can’t think of anything other than the slightly higher power consumption.
Here is the take on the gaming consoles.
Wii – Good for ladies and non-gamers.
Xbox – Go to a friends place to play Gears of War. (Other than Gears of War. It is a piece of cheap h/w not worth the money)
PS3 – Not only does it have the best hardware in class. Some of the best games ever made on this planet. MGS4 and Drake are available only for the PS3. Add to that the Blu Ray player.
For any serious gamer MGS should be a reason to own the PS3.
5 Stars History will repeat itself
Uhhh if anyone has owned a PS in the past you know its only a matter of time before your PS3 takes a massive peanutty dump on your entertainment center. Just another worthless POS collecting dust in your workroom. I think I will invest in microsoft. Thank you
