Best System on the Market, August 26, 2009By Colin Todd Smith
I already owned a original 60GB model that had PS2 backward compatibility. I was planning on getting another BD player for my bedroom. I was considering the new Samsung players when this was announced. It's cheaper and it plays games plus it has a HDD. It was a no-brainer for me. The PlayStation 3 is far and away the best console or for that matter Blu-Ray player you can currently get for its price range. There are many advantages to the 360 and the Samsung BD players, however if I had to have one without the others, my honest and objective recommendation is the new PS3.
Like I've said it's a great bargain for a great system, but it is not without its shortcomings.
-No PS2 Backward compatibility. (important to me but not everyone)
-No Netflix (360 has Netflix and so do the Samsung BD players) (also, important to me but not everyone)
-Backup Utility is awkward (nobody uses FAT32 format anymore and it's actually a process to even format a HDD that way) (You can do it with Swissknife though)
-Online play isn't as good as 360's(but it IS free and is being improved even as I type this...)
-No mic jack on controller (Bluetooth Headsets are not as easy, so people don't bother. The result is a lot less people are not talking in multi player games. A plus side to this is that you don't have to listen to a bunch of 13 year olds screaming the N-word and insulting your mom).
I hope I didn't complain too much about the system it really is a great machine and the best deal out there.
Slimmer & Better!,December 11, 2009The new PS3 slim is quite an improvement over the older one in most ways
First, let me tell you that i have owned both systems the orignal 40gb PS3 and this 120gb PS3 slim.
The new ps3 slim is (obviously) lighter, thinner, and more compact overall. On the outside, the ps3 is now a flat black color, which is great for reducing unsightly finger prints. The buttons are no longer touch style (i was disappointed) and are now replaced with regular clicking buttons.
The power scource is much more energy efficient and once you turn it in it actually feels smoother (and quiter) running then the original ps3. I also noticed my slim is much quiter, my original is at least twice as loud as the slim. Both systems play all PS3 games and bluray movies (bluray movies look amazing off the ps3 if you have the right HD equipment!) Some of the older PS3 systems are backwards compatible, the slim is not. So if your dying to play a collection of ps2 games you have, you might wanna go for an older systme that is backwards compatible. But im sure once you start playing ps3 games, you'll totally forget about your PS2 collection!
Inside the ps3 slim is also a HUGE fan...(google it there's plenty of pictures# and thats likely what keeps it cool despite its compact figure. Even after playing some long runs on my ps3 slim, there's not more of a heat output then my orignal. PS3's dont really having a heating problem, leave that to the XBOX 360s. I do have one tip though, some ps3 slim users have been experiencing problems and saying their PS3 slims run hot. To prevent this, look at the power cable, on both ends there is white text on the actual cable, make sure on the side going in the ps3 and in the outlet, that the white text is facing upwards. I have NO clue why this is but it does run cooler when its put that way.
Games are quite amazing and ps3 gameplay doesn't change from the orignal to the slim except for the fact that my ps3 slim loads maybe a second or two faster then my original. Online gaming is still the same, lag-free and fast if you have a high speed connection! #TIP: configure your router if you can to let your ps3 have priority on bandwith, it helps especially when downloading 1GB+ demo's)
