Review

 

PS3 is the most advanced computer system that serves as a platform to enjoy next generation computer entertainment contents in the home, realised through the combination of Cell and RSX processors. Having Giga-bit Ethernet and a pre-installed hard disk drive (HDD) as standard in PS3, users will be able to download a variety of contents as well as access on-line games and services over the network.

Equipped with basic input/output ports, PS3 supports a broad range of displays from conventional NTSC/PAL standard TVs to the latest full HD (1080i/1080p) flat panel displays, offering the joy of the most advanced computer entertainment contents to homes around the world. For use in living rooms, maximum heat and noise reduction has been achieved with a noise level equivalent to that of the current slim-line PlayStation 2. With the overwhelming computational power of the Cell processor, PS3 is capable of playing back content from Blu-ray (BD) disc at a bit rate of multiplex 48Mbps with ease, the maximum bit rate defined in BD standards.

I had mine for a few months and am very very please , the quality is superb , and does everything you'd wish a console to do , and even runs Linux , prints wireless, full media suites in HD, wireless rumble controllers, and Games I love, I also have several other older and this gen consoles including the Wii and Xbox 360 both have been made obsolete since I got this, the online still needs tweaking but its free so I'm not grumbling.

Was not worth getting till Killzone 2 came out. And with Gran Turismo 5 on the horizon, it may be time to invest
