Playstation 3 review

We’ll start superficially and work deeper, Appearance. Well what can I say other than WOW. This thing is huge, by far the biggest console to date. This is because it is full of things made from the other end of the periodic table by men in white coats. This monster can do anything without it and fuss, play games, run Linux, surf the web, and cure natural ailments, before you can even begin to appreciate the glossy finish or touchscreen buttons. The glossy finish is a nice touch, giving it a modern feel. It will fit well with a home theater system and a large HDTV. The PlayStation 3 fits wherever you put it, the kid’s room, the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom, the sanctuary, or even the dungeon. He has a sense of compatibility and complete control over everything around him and has a face so you don’t argue.

The tactile buttons have a nice feel, which means you won’t push anything when you press a normal button too hard. There’s also a choice of faceplates, Chrome on the 60Gb, 80Gb and presumably upcoming 120Gb models, a matte silver finish on the 40Gb model, and a darker finish on the 20Gb model. PlayStation 3 launch models feature more holes than newer models for fans, but they also include media card readers, backwards compatibility with PlayStation 2 (either hardware or software), and obviously the larger hard drive. Looking straight at the PlayStation 3, you’ll find a very tidy looking console, some ugly features like the slot-loading CD-ROM drive. When placed in the right place, the PlayStation 3 is wireless, so there are only 2 wires: power and vision. This makes it look like a normal DVD player, until you turn it on.

XMB: This monster looks like Pamela Anderson wet and naked. When it is on, it looks as elegant, calm and collected as the mafia machine guns. The background moves gracefully and can be changed and the icons move smoothly, these can also be changed. Everything within the interface of the PlayStation 3 can practically be changed. The info bar can be turned on and off, icons can be changed, background can be changed, fonts and other things can be customized until the cows come home. However, the looks of the PlayStation 3 do nothing to show the power within the machine.

Force: The power of this machine is simply ferocious. Anything you ask it to do it will do with the least amount of fuss seen and not a sound to be heard unless your ears are as muscular as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s arms. The specially developed Cell broadband engine can tackle absolutely anything a gamer can throw at it. That being said, the graphics card is made to match its excellent processing power. The BD-ROM drive may only be a 2X speed drive, but most games offer an install option so that games can load very quickly, eliminating many long load times. The hard drive is a 2.5″ SATA 5400 RPM laptop hard drive with capacity depending on what you put in or what SKU you buy. It also plugs into the PlayStation 3 and idles in about 2 -3 seconds wirelessly or instantly when charging via cable Graphics wise the PlayStation 3 is no slouch at all, HDMI up to 1080p NATIVELY, no upscaling also supports the same connection found on the PlayStation 2, although for some reason Sony limited this by default, but an option in settings quickly fixes that – there is also a program to emulate the PlayStation 1 built into every PlayStation 3 as standard – which a computer has to be 25 times more powerful than the system it wants to emulate and the PlayStation 3 is 35 times more powerful than Sony’s own PlayStation 2. That’s a small idea of ​​how powerful this console, or SPU’s, is at processing everything, 1 is reserved for the XMB OS, 6 are reserved for gaming and the last one is reserved for a failure in one of the other chips.

Characteristics: This has more features than a Swiss Army knife, a fitted kitchen, 4 Dixons outlets and a wood burning stove. It supports almost all commonly used video formats, probably all sound formats, many image formats, DVD, Double Layer DVD, Flash cards, Memory Stick Pro Duo, MMC, Compact Flash cards, USB sticks, little planets that we do not have. heard and technology made by men in white coats along with many other features like the well known Linux compatibility, native 1080P output and motion control. With as many features as it has it’s priced a bit – £425 on launch – which by anyone’s standards is pretty high – a quick price cut fixed this relatively quickly – but for the amount of features being thrown in, it’s actually pretty good value for money. With its built-in Wi-Fi, deluxe DVD, Blu-Ray drive, HDMI output, Gigabyte Ethernet port, wireless controller, frequent updates, and unparalleled customer service, the PlayStation 3 comes in relatively cheap.

Believe it or not, it was way cheaper than the xbox 360 at the same time, the console was £300, the HD DVD drive was £90, the wireless was £45, the wireless controller came only with the premium package, there was no Built-in HD DVD drive option available, it’s so loud, it breaks down more often than a nervous TV presenter, it’s as subtle as a tank in a library, and backwards compatibility is as useful as a cardboard cabbage. A great feature of the PlayStation 3 is the “future-proof” technology, as the ability to download the latest Blu-ray trailers, OS updates and other features means that the PlayStation 3 could well be a good investment. , even if the games are not going to be played on it. While not a great feature, the nearly silent fan will make a conventional DVD player, Xbox 360, home theater, built-in DVD player, a kid’s chemistry set, or even a vibrating chair a breeze. a fine meat

Games: Obviously this is a big part of a game console. A console without games is like swimming without water. Sadly, the PlayStation 3 is a bit on a square wheel right now. The games that come out are graphically parallel to those of Xbox 360, despite being only first generation. However, the games that are of any interest tend to be Xbox ports, which is bad enough. Things are slowly smoothing out though, sales approaching that pesky white block Nintendo calls a console.

What surprises me is that Sony is rumored to have terrible software development kits and this makes it harder for third party developers to build games for them. THQ recently announced that some PlayStation 3 games will have better graphics than the Xbox 360, this carries as much weight as saying that the Xbox is made by Microsoft. It’s obvious and inevitable as third parties continue to improve their knowledge of the super console. There are games coming soon that will cause sales increases, including MGS4, GT5, Little Big Planet, Home (despite not being a game) and GTA4 (although this is not exclusive). I’m waiting for some new games to come out to take even the mighty Wii’s breath away. So the square wheel is beginning to soften, with the year of the PlayStation 3 upon us, then we may be seeing a new king in the console wars, knocking the Wii off its long-standing platform with its fairly exercise games. annoying.

Conclusion: This big, fancy powerhouse is gaining momentum, despite having boxy wheels. In theory this is going to be a big year for PlayStation 3, a spokesperson has officially announced that there will be no price cuts in the near future, more downloadable content and some pretty bold content from Sony saying that 2008 is the “breakthrough year”. ” for PlayStation 3 and that in this year we will see “everything we have” it seems that Sony has big things planned. With MGS4, GT5 making a possible appearance, Little Big Planet, Home, and many other exciting exclusives, the PlayStation 3 may have a great year and may have the legendary “Out of Stock” status that has been here with Sony’s other two consoles.
