The Play Station 3 Available Free With Selected Mobile Phone Contracts
The Sony Playstation 3 (known as the Sony PS3) is currently the most up to date console in the gaming world. The Sony PS3 is powered by a 'Cell Processor' which makes the console up to thirty five times more powerful than the Sony Playstation 2.
Advantages of the Sony PS3
Aesthetically the Sony PS3 has a minimalist style and comes in silver, white or black, although it doesn't have the 'vertical or horizontal' standing options as its predecessor the PS2 has. The Sony PS3 controllers can be wireless or wired and the Sony PS3 can support up to seven controllers at a time if they're being used wirelessly through Bluetooth connection. The Sony PS3 also has motion sensors which Although the Sony PS3 has the Cell Processor this doesn't make it any more powerful than its current competitors, the Xbox 360 and the Wii. However, the technology incorporated into the processor of the Sony PS3 is way beyond any of its competitors. The memory speed of the Sony PS3 is 3.2 GHz, the same as the clock speed for the processor. This is fast for a console and means quick and easy saving and loading times, perfect for a gamer who is eager to get on with the game. Another perk of the Sony PS3 is that owners of the Sony PSP can connect their handheld console to the Sony PS3 through wireless technology. This compatibility isn't seen in other brands such as the Nintendo Wii and DS consoles. If you're after a console that you can sync with its brother products then the Sony PS3 is for you. Although there are problems with the old PS2 games working on the Sony PS3 due to the Blu-ray format, the Sony PS3 can also double up as a Blu-ray player. This can be really useful as in the future (when experts are guessing that Blu-ray will have taken over from DVD) Blu-ray discs will be a much more common format for the distribution of films.
Disadvantages of the Sony PS3
The price is double that of the Xbox 360, its largest competitor, when most of the specifications are the same. For some this is a problem but others say that the extra price is worth it as the Sony PS3 has a much wider genre of games available than the Xbox 360. The Sony PS3 games are in the Blu-ray format. Seeing as this format is relatively new it could be seen as a disadvantage. Although the Blu-ray drive can be backward compatible, this only enables some PS2 games to be played. A big disadvantage if you have a big collection of PS2 games.
Summary of the Sony PS3
A sleek, stylish console with up to the minute technology makes a unique gaming experience.
Our Verdict on the Sony PS3
The Sony PS3 is easy to use and looks good but we found that not being able to play our back catalogue of PS2 games disappointing. However if you're into all the latest releases this shouldn't be a problem as all new games being released for the Sony PS3 will be in Blu-ray format.
Final Opinion of the Sony PS3
A brilliant console, maybe not worth as much as the RRP of £350 but if you're into the latest gadgets and games, this is the console for you. 8.5/10
