Love me my PS3
- Pros: this is a great unit! it's more than a game console, it's a media center PC basically...
I can watch divx/xvid movies off of my fat32 formatted 16 gig thumbdrive with no problem at all, or transfer them to the hard drive. or I can set up my windows 7 pc as a media server and watch movies off of there.
gaming is great, wireless controller has long batt life and range. I also bought the Blu-ray remote and that's good for movies and such tho you can use the controller itself...
I'm so happy I got this, it's a wonder! great graphics, it upscales movies to 1080p and tons of features such as a built in web browser plus you can add a wireless keyboard...
- Cons: won't play .mkv files (720p/1080p) or see a thumbdrive formatted in ntfs but minor quibbles..
- Other Thoughts: definitely the best home entertainment buy I've made
Great console!
- Pros: Quieter than an xbox 360. Battery last longer. Free online Play. Built in Wireless. Robust PS Store. Good non FPS exclusives.
- Cons: Short charge cable for controller. No seperate battery packs. If the battery dies, you need a new controller. No auto off function after period of inactivity for controller. No built in VGA support, using an X2VGA 2.0 for my needs. No auto reconnect feature if you are disconnected from PSN due to an error. Except for the controller, most of these issues can be solved with a firmware update I believe.
- Other Thoughts: I love this thing. So much better than an xbox 360. Granted multiplatform games are usually better on xbox, but thats not because of the system but rather because of the bad ports developers make. A prime example of this is bayonetta. This is why I only plan to own a handful of multiplatform games and stick to exclusives, unless of course I'm buying something for the online play, which I don't have to pay for. Current games I own for PS3:
MGS 4,Brutal Legend, Eternal Sonata, White Knight Chronicles, Final Fantasy XIII, Demons' Souls , PSN downloads of Vandal Hearts, and Final Fantasy Tactics,
and of course Heavenly Sword.
PS3
- Pros: its PS3, what more needs to be said??
- Cons: this is the second one i have purchased, couldnt fix the 1st one from YLOD
- Other Thoughts: I really wish sony would put the memory card readers back in these things.
