SONY PS3 [40GB]: Late but still great!

Date of Review:  Jan 2, 2008
The Bottom Line: A powerful game console with an excellent BluRay player, though by no means perfect or dominating the world.
Review: One year after the release of the first version of Sony's delayed "Wunderwaffe" -- that was supposed to settle console wars once and for all -- the price cut and updated functionality finally allowed for one of those to land under my 2007 Christmas...

Sony blows my mind!

Date of Review:  Jun 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: Awesome picture, graphics, and sound for games. Awesome picture and sound playing Blu-ray movies. Everything is unbelievable and outweighs not supporting PS2 games!
Review: We decided to buy a Playstation 3 about 6 months ago.We bought the 40 GB version at Best Buy for $400. We are huge Final Fantasy fans. Even the guys at the video game store look at my husband and can t believe that I play the same games. We got the...

Playstation 3 - The best Blu Ray player and game system!

Date of Review:  May 10, 2008
The Bottom Line: PS3, awesome as a game system and as a Blu Ray player
Review: I finally did it! I used my last Epinions Income share checks to purchase the Blu Ray Game Machine I've wanted since last year. Yes, I am talking about the Play Station 3! When it was introduced it was a whopping $600.00 and that was if you could...

Like HD? Then Live HD with PS3

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: An incredible game machine with a free Blu-Ray DVD player, or a cheap Blu-Ray DVD player with an incredible game machine. The positives fully outweigh a few annoyances.
Review: (Updated with additional information Feb. 11 2008)

At the beginning of this review is a short story of how I got my Playstation 3. Feel free to skip right to the review under "The Review" if you'd like...

What do you want from a game system?

Date of Review:  Dec 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Playstation 3 is is best choice for serious gamers looking for the ultimate video game experience, but it may not be the best choice for everyone.
Review: The Playstation 3 is indeed the most advanced video game system currently on the market, but it may not meet your needs as well as some of the other platforms currently for sale.

The Playstation 3 features full 1080P capable graphics, and the...

Better late than never

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is the system I see most potential in, unfortunately it is still not close to being utilized.
Review: I never considered myself a gamer, yet somehow I ended up trying all three of the current generation consoles. I absolutely hated the Wii, loved the 360, and now still experimenting with the PS3. I sold the Wii pretty much a week after I got it -...

Complete Entertainment Package For the Living Room

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: A true all-in-one living room entertainment package that delivers.
Review: Sony's shiny new living room center piece, the PS3. Is it worth the price of admission?

Little relevant background of myself (you may have already read from my Wii review): Born in the early 80s, I've been a gamer for over 20 years. My...

The Bottom Line: Truly magnificent gaming and media console will have a comfortable home in my living room for many years to come!
Review: I recently decided to replace my aging PlayStation 2 console with its new younger sibling, the PS3 40GB console. Several factors went into my purchase decision and since then I have been blown away by the technology of this little black box. Beyond...

For Movies, For Games What's NOT to like?

Date of Review:  Jul 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: You need to quit the worries and just buy a machine like this that does it ALL. Feature rich that a poor person can afford.
Review: After days of searching reviews for a Blu-ray player, I stumbled internet stories about a game machine that is actually considered THE best format for also watching a High Def DVD'S! Digging deeper, I read about how so many machines, especially ANY...

The first console almost better than a PC

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: Although this is the most expensive gaming console, it is worth the price.
Review: I purchased my Playstation 3 for the holidays this past 2007. So far, at the price point I really do not have many regrets. I will spare you the technical details, as they can easily be found online.

Overall, the machine is very powerful...
