My husband got this system for Christmas and within two weeks we were calling Playstation to send it in for service. They were great about it - which is why I chose 3 stars over 1 - however i must say for only having the system a short time, my husband wasn't too happy with it breaking down! He's had...

Still has room to grow.

The Playstation 3 is the most powerful gaming system on the market today. It also is the most power hungry. At peak energy use times is uses as much energy as 5 refrigerators! And, while over the last few seasons the game selection has gotten better there are still genres with a very light selection....

The best console I've ever had. It true, it just does everything!

I bought the Playstation 3 for one game Heavy Rain, 3 years later its finally out along with God of War III. These two games with no multiplayer support are the best of the best for the PS3. Graphically superior to anything on the market. This is what all PS3 games should be like but sadly its not. If you want the best multiplayer has to offer you go with the Xbox 360 and all its faults. PS3 is the hardest company to work for and easily the hardest machine to make games on, for reasons the are best discussed in other places. I own both systems with my xbox having 200 games that I own and my PS3...

WHEN I THINK ABOUT A PS3 I SAY IT ONLY DOES EVERYTHING JUST LIKE THEY SAY IN THE COMMERCIAL. FROM MY POINT OF VIEW I SAY THAT THE PS3 IS BETTER THAN THE XBOX 360.

Wonderful System

We were amazed at the graphics and the Blu Ray. This system is awesome for people wanting to play hardcore gaming.

We bought the ps3 a few years back when it first came out and it has come a long way.  The graphics are great and the games look like moviesw when u play them.  Another great aspect is watching blu ray movies...the crispness and the sound is great.  We bought the one that is backwards compatible and will play the ps2 games even though we dont we still have that option.

I bought this because everyone said that the 80GB PS3's can play the older PS2/PS1 games. Well, only the early PS3's can, and apparently not mine! I still like it though. You can go online right on your TV, watch HD movies and of course play PS3 games with it. The graphics are amazing and the games almost look like movies. But to me, it's not worth the price tag. Buy a Wii instead.

The playstation 3 is a great product!  I would highly recommend this for anyone!  The graphics look so real, with having higher capacity discs we get more for the price and a better quality!  I really think that this game has the best graphics of any console gaming unit!  The Playstation 3 also has a built in blu-ray player for the best movie experience,   it looks almost like you are there. You can also watch regular dvds in the ps3, it also makes the quality of regular dvds better.   I recommend you  buy the 80GB console because then you can also play all of your ps2 and ps1... read full review »

  The Sony Playstation 3 is the best entertainment system ever created!

  I admit the game library is not that of the Xbox 360, but the PS3 is so much more.  The PS3 has built in Wi-Fi, so you don't have to run a cable for the internet.  It has a built in web browser.  It has 4 usb 2.0 ports.  It takes SD, Compact Flash, and MemoryStick/duo camera cards.  You can rent and buy movies online from the Playstation Network.  1 HDMI port. No power cord "power block" to hide.  Plays music and pictures. You can even play video's right off of a memory card or usb memory stick AND save it to the...
