My cousins have been bothering me about getting one. I own and mostly play on an xbox 360. (and i love it, sorry ps3, so my review might be a bit biased, i'm not afraid to admit it.) (also i do own a wii, its a paperweight most of the time) Personaly ps3 never had any exclusive titles that interested me so its taken me til now to get one. I do like that it has free online gaming vs the xbox. I still need to see if xbox vs ps3 servers are different in anyways. I guess i'll list off pros and cons if i can think of any. Pro's obviously online gaming is free (wii has this too but wii online sucks) BLU-RAY PLAYER, heck yes. I have a pc with one but i've alway wanted one to have for my tv, now i have game system and a blu-ray Clear graphics (actually for some reason when i see a ps3 game vs the looks of the same title on the xbox, its always looke clearer, or more clean) maybe a few select exclusives (can't wait to see what bungie has in store though) and also whenever kingdom hearts 3 comes out i'm now prepared Neither con nor pro (has features other have) Most have the same game selection (if you want good exclusives you can't really go wrong with nintendo, and xbox has the exclusives i like) Internet browser (cool yeah, but wii also has that, and so does everything else now, just xbox is a bit slow on it, e3) To me the controller feels weird and light (but xbox user here so not a surprise) Con's now this is con for every system, accesories are always so freaking expensive. usb charge cord, too short, i can't play like that easily. ... (now this one i don't own but still i want to right something on it) the ps move. WTF. Just an improved wiimote that looks weird. ... clown festival. (ok i'll say this too, kinect copied the ps2 eye toy thing, so borrowed ideas) So all in all a great system with a few borrowed ideas and to me a better game selection then nintendo wii but not as good as xbox.Read full review
I have owned about every game system that has been made. In my opinion, this system is very similiar to that of the Xbox 360 Elite with the following exceptions: Built in WiFi which is awesome to have, FREE PS3 online which means no extra fees if you subscribe to Netflix or play a lot of online games, and it has Blu-Ray. The graphics, I feel are equal to that of the 360. The only downsides I have found for this pricey system are that the games and accessories seem to cost more and there is less of a selection of game titles. Also, the hard drives are not swappable like the Xbox so you can not take your games with you if you go to a friends house. The biggest downfall is this particular system does NOT play the PS2 games. All in all, I actually only use this system to watch Netflix and Blu-Ray on and to play a few of the move games. I prefer gaming on the 360.Read full review
The primary reason for purchase was for the Blueray 3D capability. Not a gaming person & haven't tried yet on this console. Great for viewing pics on Flashdrives & DVDs. Had no difficulty in setup, without instructions & a little "fiddling" with the controller I was able to operate unit "like a pro" in probably less time than it would have taken to read the instructions. Pretty straight forward. Will add the 'remote control' for less awkward DVD & Flashdrive operation. Only real complaint, unit was advertised as "New" when in fact it was 'out-of-box' & used but obviously only slightly. Otherwise the whole purchase experience was satisfactory & I would do it again.
Happy with the delivery and gb I'm able to put so many games i downloaded from the ps store but wondered why the user from before didn't erase or delete the user name before sending it to me.overall not many scratches and satisfied with controller thanks
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I love the ps3 because you don't have to pay to be online and talking to your friends. While the Xbox 360 does do voice chat and overall communication between players very well, you have to pay $50 a year to do so. (That can add up!!!) It makes no noise,unlike the 360, it has a TON of memory space which is a MUST due to how much GB each game now takes, and it's a lot less bulky. The price is deep, but search around and you can find a good price, so it is def. worth the investment!
