80 GB PS3 limited edition with bonus

Strengths: 80GB Hard Disk, PS2 games compatible, Motorstorm game included, Bluray tecnology, stylist and great design, wireless control, & good price compare with 60 & 40GB -double capacity with PS3 game include

Weakness: Not included HDMI cable & extra wireless controller, price high compare with other systems.

With the 80GB PS3 can play PS2 games - new 40GB PS3 version doesn't play PS2 games. At the same time with Bluray technology movies has a great resolution in my lcd tv. All in one - play games, movies, and view digital photos using SD card. I'm satisfied 95% with this system, 5% unsatisfied because of the price.

No real complaints, but wait if you can

Strengths: Features, graphics, sound, power, blu-ray, wireless controllers

Weakness: Price. Only comes with composite video cable. Possibility of better/lower-priced PS3 configurations in the near future

Sony tried to do too much with this machine, but to their credit they do a lot of it well. This is a powerful system capable of playing HD games, a full-featured Blu-Ray player capable of 1080p resolution and Dolby 7.1, with built-in wifi connection, and some integration with PSP. The downside is that developers may never be able to get the full potential out of this system until after its...

Great Package Overall

Strengths: Blu-ray player, Good graphics, Upconverted DVD's/Games

Weakness: No HDMI cable, expensive, no remote, slow load time

I bought the PS3 more as a Blu-ray player rather than a video game console. Putting it into that perspective, the PS3 is good system, although there are some small inadequacies. The first thing is, an HDMI cable is a must for this system. Sony packaged the console with a lousy component cable which won't achieve resolutions above 480i. This means that it doesn't provide better than my $30 DVD...

Great price, fast delivery!

Strengths: saved me alot of time, great product, good price

Weakness: none

I was very pleased with your sight. Only three days later I received my playstation 3 from circuit city, and after paying a very good price. Your sight also saved me alot of time. It was very nice not having to go site to site comparing prices. The playstation itself although I havn't had it very long has been great. The graphics are amazing, and it even plays blue ray dvds. I believe this...

Unbelievable technology.

Strengths: High def output is amazing. Bluray support. Still has software support for PS2 games.

Weakness: Game selection at this point. Must buy HDMI cable to maximize it's performance. No rumble in included controller.

This game system is truly the next generation system. It's high def support is the perfect match for my new HDTV. The graphics from the games have been amazing. The graphics from Bluray discs are also amazing - depends on the movie. The upscaling capability with the new firmware for standard def DVD movies works more than adequately. It seems like everything looks good coming out of it. Of course...

Playstation 3 Motorsport

Strengths: The PS3 system was easy to set up and easy to play. Having a wireless game controller is amazingly great. The kids and pets aren't tripping over the game as with other systems.

Weakness: The Motorsport game is hard to enjoy thouroughly on my 26 inch screen non HD TV. It is difficult to read the race info and hints at the start of each track, because of color contrast on the screen.

Overall, this is a great system with all the possibilities of online gaming without using my PC. My husband loves the off roading of Motorsport. Wireless game controls are the way to go.

Satisfied Customer

Strengths: Good graphics, blu-ray, wireless controller, and backwards compatibility with PS2/PS1 games.

Weakness: Expensive, collects dust and fingerprints easily, and no HDMI cable is included.

The PS3 has a lot more features then last-gen gaming consoles. This console is more of a media center, as it can play DVDs, play Blu-ray movies, view photos from your camera's SD/miniSD, PRO, or CF memory card, listen to music, and you can play games. I am satisfied with my purchase so far, although it would have been nice if it was a little bit cheaper, but it can do a lot more than the other...

High Definition Gaming at its Best

Strengths: You can play both Blu-Ray HD DVD movies and Blu-Ray HD DVD games without having to pay for two units separately.

Weakness: None!

We have never experienced such clarity and detail from a game or even a movie until we got this console. The menus couldn't be any easier and connection using an HDMI cable was a breeze. We love it even more on every passing day.

PS3 80gig with Motorstorm

Strengths: Lots of features, Bluray, wireless controller, backward compatible, internet access

Weakness: Cost, expensive games, no Hdmi cable

I bought this mainly as a Blu ray player. Compared to other players, it's a good value. It is quite a bit more compared to other next gen consoles though. The games look awesome with a HD tv. I wish I could figure out a way to use this with a universal remote instead of using the controller. I like the interface and it's easy to use. The online access seems cumbersome though. It will upconvert...
