Upon taking it out of the box, I noticed the sheer weight of it. People made jokes about X-Boxes being used as murder weapons because of the weight...not anymore. I am currently on deployment in Iraq and have nothing better to do with my money than invest in what I love, video games. <br><br>I own the current two generations of the three major game consoles. Yes boys and girls, that's the PS2, the PS3, X-Box, X-360, The Wii and a Gamecube. From the gaming side of the house I can say that I`m a bit unimpressed with the three titles I have for it right now. My roommate bought a 20 gig PS3 and I have a 60 gig. We tried to direct connect them to play Blazing Angels and they wont talk to each other. There`s no explanation as of yet. While the graphics are fantastic, I have yet to see a title that will put the PS3 through it`s paces. It`s a prettier version of the PS2. I`m sure when Visions (GT5) comes out I`ll eat my words, but until then...<br><br><br>From the tech geeks point of view, the ability to play Blu-Ray is the paramount. The PS3 will make my 23\" LG Plasma show every detail possible, and for that I love it. If you shop around, you might be lucky to find a BR player for 800 bucks. I got off cheap with a PS3.

I assured myself each of these consoles would have their strong points equally as they would have bad. I saw it fair that by purchasing each console and rating them fairly and unbiased, i could give gamers a true suggestion to which console to buy. <br><br>The first console i purchased was the Nintendo Wii (\u00c3\u0082&pound;179). I was firstly very happy with the pricing and knew this would be praised amongst consumers. As I removed it from its box i realised its small chassis and childish, yet futuristic appearance, now i was to try the games. <br><br>      I received \"Wii Sports\" with the console and was moderately happy. Though a few point held me from recommending the console too warmly;<br><br>1. The sensor, this is always agitating to configure controllers or just keep your cursor on the screen <br><br>2. The controllers batteries are not rechargeable<br><br>3. The controller is motion sensitive, yet not always precise<br><br>     Yet i could not base my main opinion on one game, so i purchased Zelda: Twighlight Princess. Good game but still has the same problems as i mentioned earlier. The Wii struck me as childish and a \"more advanced eyetoy\" <br><br><br><br>The second console i purchased was an Xbox 360 Premium (\u00c3\u0082&pound;279). From opening the box everything seemed pretty bland, yet looks were not everything. From playing the first game (Gears of War) i noticed very good graphics and relatively fast gameplay. I was happy with the remote and picture quality. The price was also not too bad. Unfortunatley the price shot up when i decided to take the Xbox online... I had to fork out an extra \u00c3\u0082&pound;90 for a HD-DVD player, \u00c3\u0082&pound;80 for a wireless adapter AND THEN \u00c3\u0082&pound;40 just to play the damn thing!! I was appauled at the abuse Playstation got for the price when i found out Xbox's cost more when you buy the minimal components which the Playstation features no extra cost. Yet i still was happy with the Xbox generally apart from the features were not very impressive. <br><br><br><br>Finnaly i payed \u00c3\u0082&pound;425 for the Playstation 3 60GB. When i took it out the box i noticed the almost hypnotising glow and reflection of the chassis and the HUGE ventilation access. Yet i didn't let the looks steer  my decision. From turning it on i noticed the immence futuristic and advanced factors of the console. I then saw the on screen interface (similar to the PSP) and thought the playstation was definately at first look, very good. <br><br>   I then tried the gaming. The gaming at first glance seemed similar to the xbox'x but after playing more, i realised playstation features a far more advanced gaming processor and a hugely more exciting, speedy and cheaper online centre. <br><br><br><br>I will now conclude showing pros and cons:<br><br>Wii: <br><br>Pros: <br><br>- Cheap<br><br>- Interactive<br><br>- Good for children<br><br>Cons: <br><br>- Poor graphics processor<br><br>- Slowest of the gaming consoles<br><br>- Poor memory space<br><br>- Childish<br><br><br><br>Xbox 360 Premium:<br><br>Pros: <br><br>- Good Graphics<br><br>- Quick <br><br>Cons: <br><br>- Very expensive when you try to match up to the playstation<br><br>- Games not very exciting<br><br><br><br>Playstation 3 60GB:<br><br>Pros: <br><br>- Extremely Powerful <br><br>- Ultra impressive graphics<br><br>- Extremely Versatile<br><br>- Sleek and impressive design<br><br>- Worth every penny<br><br>- Free online gaming<br><br>Cons: <br><br>- Not many games (but its new)<br><br><br><br>The Winner: <br><br>By far the Playstation 3. I took into consideration amazing games take a year or two to develop. Xbox has had a year and the \"top games\" are still only nearly as good as Playstations warm ups. The Playstation is an ultimate entertainment center and far more powerful than its competitors. <br><br>    Just as the PS2's release, the games were limited and doubted and that turned out to be the king. Im 100% the PS3 will take the crown and \"Xboxers\" and \"Wiiers\" will be rushing to get a Playstation 3.", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2007-04-14_16:42:45", "killed": false, "user_key": "4084f746868f128ef21c9980f698fb6d", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "user_voted": null, "votable": true, "date": "2 years ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "25251595": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Blu-ray DVD plays with a green tint when running through HDMI cable.

The other thing going for the console is the fact that it has hdmi and supposedly free online.  The xbox 360 has a cheaper price tag and has the option to buy a hd-dvd player to play those special dvds.  The game selection at the moment is going to be better for the xbox 360 right now and in the future.

If you have or if you havent played the XBOX 360 you can tell the graphics are obviously good, very good. If sony dosent have as good of graphics or better, then sony really doesnt care to much bout the PS3 and how the people are going to like it. Although i maybe overestimating the PS3 in my opinion PS3 is going to be HELLA good and XBOX 360 dosent stand a chance!!!</div>\

But at the end of the day most consumers purchase by content (games) and interactivity (online gaming etc). Convergence with media is becoming a big purchase motivator as well, for Sony this is a plus with Blueray. This is assuming Blueray popularity picks up comparing to HD-DVD in coming years.<br><br>With regards to Nintendo WII Iâm convinced they have stepped in the right direction by challenging the method we interact with our consoles and by targeting new markets female, younger generation and price conscious. <br><br>I live in Australia and we are not getting the PS3 till March 2007, which will make it tough to enter the OZ market at that time.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-25251556" class="dsq-comment-message">when buying a console you have to think  about it from a gamer\'s point of view and this does not mean from a sony or xbox fanboy.  The only thing that is know right now is that ps3 is going to be the cheapest blu-ray player on the market.  The other thing going for the console is the fact that it has hdmi and supposedly free online.  The xbox 360 has a cheaper price tag and has the option to buy a hd-dvd player to play those special dvds.  The game selection at the moment is going to be better for the xbox 360 right now and in the future.  The ps3 on the other hand has the problem that the good games coming out for ps3 aren\'t coming out til next year if your lucky.  The ps3 at this moment is having backwards compatibility problems.  For sony to make back the money back on their console, everyone who bought a ps3 needs to buy 3 games and 2 controllers.  No one in their right mind is going to spend that much.  Especially on a 650 dollar console which is including ny state taxes and such.  Right now the only reason to get a ps3 is to play your blu-ray movies and thats about it.  If your going for it for the high def games and such well at the moment your selection is pretty limited and for those wanting to play your older games good luck on actually running them properly.  I personally if possible will buy a ps3 not because i\'m a fan of any system but because its a cheap blu-ray player and want to own a dvd player of both formats so that i can play dvds from whichever format wins the war.  This is just my view from the facts at hand at the moment and a warning to all gamers and people looking to buy a new console, don\'t trust the word from sony fanboys or any fanatics about xbox, playstation or the wii because their opinions will be heavily effected by emotional attachment.  buy the system based on your needs from the system and as of right now its best to own all the systems because they all offer different pros and cons.</div>\

The cell processor and the massive wattage (more than twice that of the xbox360) allow for massive potential. But as of right now, the gaming selection is lacking. I personally believe that good games are needed to truely raise one system above others. After all, no matter how powerful the system is, bad software would render the 600 dollar purchase pointless. I must admit, however, that I do believe this system is destined for greatness, at least for about 5-10 years. Considering the backround of ps2 and ps1, I\'m sure game makers will soon utilize the massive potential of this system with old namers like Final Fantasy or GT or GTO. As for the idiots complaining about backwards compatability and such, what system doesn\'t have initial glitches? As far as I know, less than 200 of the thousands of ps2 games have small problems on the ps3. Besides, even this problem will soon be fixed via downloadable update. But, I would advise anyone not desperate to wait for a few months. Let sony work out the problems bound to occur and let the game selection build up before you burn all that green. Who knows, maybe the price will even drop (ya right).</div>\

With Intel and AMD racing forward with there technology and the new Nvidia 8000 series graphics cards on there way any day soon I would sooner spend the money on a pc which is far more flexible than any console could be. but there is the draw to the simplisity of the games console if I would have to choose one I would probably go for the wii.it\'s far cheaper than either the 360 or the ps3 and withe the new controller it\'s is very fun which show that it doesn\'t need amazing graphics for the best games.  to conclude as whole I think that the ps3 is not a bad machine but it has some very big shoes to fill and it needs some top spec games soon.</div>\

You have to remember that the PS3 is not one this gaming console on which you can only play. It\'s a real media center. For the graphics, the PS3 doesn\'t own it\'s own games yet. It\'s just a matter of time before PS3 gets the attention it worth. I\'ve played to X-Box 360 and it\'s a very good console BUT not that good. The graphics aren\'t so extraordinary and the playability isn\'t that improved. So you don\'t like, don\'t buy it. But you can\'t say things that you don\'t know. I\'m not sure either about the PS3. The 360...I wasn\'t so excited by it when I played. The Wii...the games look like anime, it\'s a thing I never liked from Nintendo.

No one will really knows the power of any of the systems until the games start rolling in.  Right now, I\'ve got to give the hands up to the 360 because it was released first so PS3 and Wii have much ground to catch up.  If you haven\'t seen Gears of War - an XBox 360 only game - you really need to.  This game is so impressive that I have contemplated buying a 360 just because of this game even though I have been a sony person since the playstation first came about.  I bought the playstation a year after its release, I had the ps2 on its release date (still have the same one with no problems), and I had the ps3 on pre-order but did not get it since sony had all the cutbacks on shipments.  So I would suggest before saying one is better than the other, look at the games first, the game play of the games, and the cost.  Right now, Wii is winning the cost battle and the 360 is winning in the gaming arena.  Will the ps3 get back on top?  Only time will tell.  Hopefully, Metal Gear 4 will get them there.</div>\

I think people are just mad because they cannot afford one, and because of the release issues.  PS1 owned the nes, PS2 owned the 64 but fell short to the x-box ONLY beacuse the x-box had a hard drive, and PS3 will own the Wii and the 360. Nintendo is past its prime console wise.  The only good thing about the Wii is the controller.  The games are the same as they have been for the past 10 years.  The 360 has good graphics, but not alot better than they were before.  The PS3 will make them both look like atari graphics by comparison, when the games start rolling out.  PS3 is more than a console though.  It is extremely comparable to a PC.  60gb hard drive, its own OS, which by the way doesnt have to be the OS you choose to use. Its a media center, music, movies, games.  To those that think either the 360 or the Wii will be better, I say go ahead and play them if you really want.  It will be your loss alone.</div>\

MS Media Center on my primary PC opened up a whole new world for me.

I remember when I got the 360 last year (admist of the fears I may have gotten one of the defective ones), just about none of their launch games were even worth mentioning. It took the 360 a year just to get to the level of Gears of War, which in turn features medicore gamming but obviously pushes the 360\'s graphics to the max.<br><br>One point of interest here for the PS3 is that there is a solid launch game that is worth playing : Resistance. While its not anything mind blowing, it does provide decent game play and solid graphics for a launch game. Much better than any launch game for the 360.<br><br>The PS3 appears to be one of those system that will have the greatest potential, if Sony plays their cards right. Its one of those system thats true power really won\'t be exploited (if it ever does) until later on down the road. Its a system to definately keep a close eye on. For its features, and I\'m not really caring for blue-ray or whatever, but the fact that you can easily upgrade HDs, install linux, surf the web, use mouse and keyboards, you\'re essentially buying a high graphics power media center.<br><br>For now, the best system to get for gamming is the 360. For fun factor its obviously the Wii, for edgier hardcore games that are yet to arrive, it\'ll definately be the PS3. We\'ll see what 2007 has for us....</div>\

For this reason, the fact that PS3 can do everything is not much of a selling point...  I have individual units that can do their individual tasks better than PS3 can ever hope to.<br><br>So, this whole thing boils down to games.  What I have noticed about games is that Nintendo has a tendency to focus on games for families and kids, Sony tends to focus on games for working adults, and Microsoft tends to focus on games for high school and college students.  Although there are certainly exceptions, the trend is definitely there.<br><br>What this boils down to is which system is the better gaming console is probably going to depend on what kinds of game you enjoy.  If you like Legend of Zelda, you are going to want whatever console Nintendo comes up with.  If you like the Final Fantasy series you are pretty much going to be looking at Sony.

We tried to direct connect them to play Blazing Angels and they wont talk to each other. There`s no explanation as of yet. While the graphics are fantastic, I have yet to see a title that will put the PS3 through it`s paces. It`s a prettier version of the PS2. I`m sure when Visions (GT5) comes out I`ll eat my words, but until then...<br><br><br>From the tech geeks point of view, the ability to play Blu-Ray is the paramount. The PS3 will make my 23" LG Plasma show every detail possible, and for that I love it. If you shop around, you might be lucky to find a BR player for 800 bucks. I got off cheap with a PS3. If I didnt already have a 360 and a computer, the PS3 would be the end all be all for me, but the harddrive on my 360, combined with Windows Media Center on my PC provides all the multimedia I need. I dont care to "browse the web" on my PS3. All in all, I feel lucky to own one, but in hind sight, I could have waited for another 6 months and it wouldn\'t have hurt.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-25251593" class="dsq-comment-message">Since the announcement of the Playstation 3 I knew there would be conflict between the "seventh generation" consoles. I assured myself each of these consoles would have their strong points equally as they would have bad. I saw it fair that by purchasing each console and rating them fairly and unbiased, i could give gamers a true suggestion to which console to buy. <br><br>The first console i purchased was the Nintendo Wii (Ã&pound;179). I was firstly very happy with the pricing and knew this would be praised amongst consumers. As I removed it from its box i realised its small chassis and childish, yet futuristic appearance, now i was to try the games. <br><br>      I received "Wii Sports" with the console and was moderately happy. Though a few point held me from recommending the console too warmly;<br><br>1. The sensor, this is always agitating to configure controllers or just keep your cursor on the screen <br><br>2. The controllers batteries are not rechargeable<br><br>3. The controller is motion sensitive, yet not always precise<br><br>     Yet i could not base my main opinion on one game, so i purchased Zelda: Twighlight Princess. Good game but still has the same problems as i mentioned earlier. The Wii struck me as childish and a "more advanced eyetoy" <br><br><br><br>The second console i purchased was an Xbox 360 Premium (Ã&pound;279). From opening the box everything seemed pretty bland, yet looks were not everything. From playing the first game (Gears of War) i noticed very good graphics and relatively fast gameplay. I was happy with the remote and picture quality. The price was also not too bad. Unfortunatley the price shot up when i decided to take the Xbox online... I had to fork out an extra Ã&pound;90 for a HD-DVD player, Ã&pound;80 for a wireless adapter AND THEN Ã&pound;40 just to play the damn thing!! I was appauled at the abuse Playstation got for the price when i found out Xbox\'s cost more when you buy the minimal components which the Playstation features no extra cost. Yet i still was happy with the Xbox generally apart from the features were not very impressive. <br><br><br><br>Finnaly i payed Ã&pound;425 for the Playstation 3 60GB. When i took it out the box i noticed the almost hypnotising glow and reflection of the chassis and the HUGE ventilation access. Yet i didn\'t let the looks steer  my decision. From turning it on i noticed the immence futuristic and advanced factors of the console. I then saw the on screen interface (similar to the PSP) and thought the playstation was definately at first look, very good. <br><br>   I then tried the gaming. The gaming at first glance seemed similar to the xbox\'x but after playing more, i realised playstation features a far more advanced gaming processor and a hugely more exciting, speedy and cheaper online centre. <br><br><br><br>I will now conclude showing pros and cons:<br><br>Wii: <br><br>Pros: <br><br>- Cheap<br><br>- Interactive<br><br>- Good for children<br><br>Cons: <br><br>- Poor graphics processor<br><br>- Slowest of the gaming consoles<br><br>- Poor memory space<br><br>- Childish<br><br><br><br>Xbox 360 Premium:<br><br>Pros: <br><br>- Good Graphics<br><br>- Quick <br><br>Cons: <br><br>- Very expensive when you try to match up to the playstation<br><br>- Games not very exciting<br><br><br><br>Playstation 3 60GB:<br><br>Pros: <br><br>- Extremely Powerful <br><br>- Ultra impressive graphics<br><br>- Extremely Versatile<br><br>- Sleek and impressive design<br><br>- Worth every penny<br><br>- Free online gaming<br><br>Cons: <br><br>- Not many games (but its new)<br><br><br><br>The Winner: <br><br>By far the Playstation 3. I took into consideration amazing games take a year or two to develop. Xbox has had a year and the "top games" are still only nearly as good as Playstations warm ups. The Playstation is an ultimate entertainment center and far more powerful than its competitors. <br><br>    Just as the PS2\'s release, the games were limited and doubted and that turned out to be the king. Im 100% the PS3 will take the crown and "Xboxers" and "Wiiers" will be rushing to get a Playstation 3.</div>\

The first unit went belly up in a week. I noticed that there is much heat produced by the PS3, maybe this was the culprit. I had the unit where it could get plenty of ventilation but for some reason it shutdown and would not power up. I returned the Unit to the seller and got another PS3, no problems yet.  I am still bothered by the amount of heat that is generated by the unit. I am impressed with the construction, and all the media features, cooling fan is a little noisy but tolerable. The unit is pricey, havn\'t purchased a game yet and they are also very pricey.</div>\

The HDD, chrome, MS reader, heck, even the 6 USB ports for tons of periphials, IS WORTH THE MONEY, for those that are just now smelling the coffee, is a staggering (but totally worth it) $600 USD. I\'m a practical audiophile and have tons of photos of my nephew, niece and my cats :) the photo album is a great addition. I also game online, and the built in WiFi (60gb) helps me do that. The only drawbacks are the \'crime scene\' style shell and the current limits of the browser which (STILL!!) cannot play videos online for YouTube or Google. But who needs that, when you got a video menu too! And I prefer to have a system that won\'t fry like the 360 or be too &quot;fragile&quot; like the Wii if dropped, (though it does weigh in at 11 lbs/5kg) and I personally like that SCEA and Sony put the XMB in the PS3 like the PSP. I prefer that over the \'channels\' of the Wii and the &quot;blades&quot; dashboard of the 360. <br><br>The Good: Excellent media system!<br><br>          Nice features<br><br>The Bad:  A little PRICEY <br><br>          Could lose weight<br><br>          Where is the skins for it?!<br><br>The Verdict: Of all 600 USD, you\'ll be glad that every cent of it is in it, and that is a good thing.</div>\

The PS3 operating system is smooth and sexy and you can tell that it\'s designed to grow with the technology -- it\'s organic, almost, and any changes to come will integrate themselves seemlessly.  Game-wise, titles are on the horizon which will utilize keyboard/mouse support and devices are already available to give you that option now with games that are not.  Understandably, the unit gets as hot as a nuclear reactor and I\'ve forked out the cash for a couple cooler fans that attach to both the front and back.  With the heat problem in check, I\'m rather stunned at how stable and glitch-free the PS3 functions... personally, I view the xbox 360 as a toy, the so-called &quot;Elite&quot; version as being a waste since it doesn\'t have built-in HD-DVD and I see the Playstation 3 as being a true work of art, it\'s beautiful.</div>\

There is a rumour that these people are actually paid to do this.<br><br>I actually own a PS3 and I love it.  I think it is good value for money because I use pretty much all of it\'s functionality.  I have upsized the hard drive on it, I used the card readers to transfer photos from my phone to it, I surf the web with it,the few games that are specifically designed for the PS3 are amazing especially when you consider they are launch titles, blu-ray movies look excellent, dvd look pretty good too, the PS3 is one of the best upscalers in the market. The device itself looks pretty good, I keep mine upright.  The XMB interface is effective, clean and minimalist, it also doesn\'t have any advertisements cluttering it up. The online aspect allows you do anything and it is as easy to use as any I have used on the PC.<br><br><br><br><br><br>In the long run, there is a lot more headroom in terms of space needed for games with blur ray vs dvd and with the cell processor.  I am a software developer and I know how difficult it is to wrap your mind around the whole concurrent thing but when developers do and the tools start maturing I think Microsoft will do what they did with the original Xbox and just abruptly stop supporting it.</div>\

Well first off all the consoles are great in different ways. However, if you are talking about performance and graphic wise the PS3 comes out on top. Yes, the launch titles weren\'t great for the PS3 but this fall you have Assassin\'s Creed, Warhawk, and Lair, not to mention countless others. <br><br>Why is the PS3 getting so much fuss if it\'s superior? Well the price does play in a little but mainly Microsoft and Nintendo know that the PS3 is better than their consoles and they are scared, so the normal thing to do is attack and slander the PS3. <br><br>Now you have the right to slander anything you want but don\'t be ignorant and talk about the low quality of a console that you haven\'t even placed your hands on. PS2 did the best in sales last-gen and the PS3 will own this generation of gaming again. Period. This console has made me re-think on what "gaming" is; I will always be loyal to Sony. Buy this console if you want to know what gaming is all about.</div>\

The only reason people give it problems are that it has a lack of games, but every new system has this problem when it first comes out and its only a matter of time before that gets fixed. The games that it does have are great next generation games. Sony pretty much replaced all other household electronics with this system.</div>\

Even a Microsoft Xbox360 doesn\'t stand a chance with the new PS3. Sony company did it again making the world stop to create a new page for the history of every gamer. And making every gamers fantasy into a reality. So PlayStation3 welcome to the world.</div>\

I got one the day that they came out, unfortunately when I got it home and took it out of the box it was busted.  I called play station had to wait 3 days for them to ship me a box and then 7 days for them to ship me another unit.  Guess what? 3 months later it broke again.  Had to wait another 3 days for them to ship me a box, and another 10-14 days to get a repaired unit.  Now it\'s broke again.  I am now fighting with Sony to get my money back.  Guess what they don\'t do that, but they can make me feel better by letting me know that the unit comes with a 90 day warranty and they will be happy to replace it when it breaks again.  They said that the system keeps breaking because of the environment.  I guess the mountains are not a good environment.  I have ALWAYS supported SONY and their products.  They have always made quality products and have cared about their customer satisfaction.  I do not know what happened, but Sony should be doing a little more for a customer that has had to send back a $600 PS3 3 times in a year than tell them that there is nothing they can do, and there policies are set in stone.  I can tell you this I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER SONY PRODUCT!  I would rather spend my money on a XBOX360 then a hunk of junk!</div>\

Like I was in a store the other day and they was showing the difference between DVD and blue ray, it was very noticeable that they decreased the quality of the DVD but the dumb thing was that they were running a movie which is on DVD right next to the demonstration. I would not get my own ps3 until a couple of years after its release because like all of Sony\'s consoles they would become smaller and better. For I will stick with playing crysis on high on pc with no lag and playing Halo 3 on Xbox live.</div>\

Little did I know that all of that came at the hefty price. For those of you who trolled playstation3 forums might already heard of it. After two months of use the ps3 will not recognize wireless controllers. Mind you not controller, controllers since I have 5 of them. Forget about reaching customer service, all I ever got was automated message about the volume and no one ever answered a phone. All controllers were charged and reset based on suggestions from forums but nothing works. At least in Europe they are replacing them but any buyer needs to be aware of this outgoing problem that Sony fails to report to its consumers. So to all of you 360 owners...we got our own ring of death...I would not recommend this product to anyone....go with a Wii</div>\
