The PS3 is awesome! I have never been big on gaming, but I'm definitely getting there. This is a perfect all-in-one piece, you really don't anything else alongside the PS3 as long as you have the TV. It plays DVDs, blu-rays, you can stream movies from your laptop, you can copy movies onto the PS3 itself if you don't want to keep your laptop on. It plays music, you can view your photos you can do everything with this. So it's not just for hardcore gamers. I only got an extra controller and the remote and I really don't feel like I need anything else. Technically you don't even need the remote but...review »
Easy set-up, great graphics, blu-ray is exceptional picture quality, plays 7.1 sound, we just love it. Wireless internet connectivity is an added bonus. We had the Sony BDP 300 as our primary blu-ray palyer until we started playing movies on the PS III. WOW! What a difference in the quality. Would recommend to anyone that enjoys watching blu-ray movies with 7.1 surround sound. It will blow you away!
I recently purchased my PS 3 and I love it. Blue ray movies and the games have amazing clarity. You do need to purchase a Component video or HDMI cable to get the best possible picture, But this system is well worth the money. Plus it's upgradeable w/ the built in Wireless card, it was easy to hook it into my home network for online gaming or downloading free demos from the online Playstation store.
I purchased online for instore pickup. This was so easy, I was in the store and picking up the console within 15 minutes of placing my order online, and only had a 2 minute wait before I was heading...review »
i was happy with the purchase at sears i ordered it online and they notified me by email when it was ready for me to pick up at a local store .the playstation on the other hand is expensive . it is an awesome system but i also have an xbox 360 and the difference in graphics isnt that great . i'd say the playstation has brighter colors but the xbox 's graphics look crisper , more real looking while the playstation looks too animated . nonetheless both are great systems and i am happy i own both of them . the wii is next on my list but not because of graphics thats for sure !
Great product! Not only is it a state of the art gaming system it plays blu ray titles. Sony rep told me that the blu ray player is comparable to their less than $500 players. You would need to step up to their over $500 players to see a difference. So the way I see it, I have a nice blu ray player and the gaming system was a bonus.
Received quickly. Graphics are great. Game titles expansive. Can watch both Blue Ray and regular DVDs which is a plus. Recommend to anyone who likes to game. Also, you can get rid of the DVD player and just use the 1 machine.
