Pros: *Blu-ray player*Free online*Fairly solid reliability (the slim is too new to tell)*Recognizes some PC controllers Cons: *Generates a lot of heat*Somewhat long loading times*No HDMI or network cable included*PSN charges tax for downloadable games (unsure about downloadable content) Other Thoughts: I own an Xbox 360 and recently bought this bundle to play Uncharted 2. Overall, the PS3 is not really head and shoulders above the competition in terms of performance. from Newegg.com Pros: -best graphics available-great games and soon-to-be-released games-BLU RAY-great controller-free online and built in wi-fi Cons: the built in wi-fi seems to go in and out on me... but that might just be my out of date modem...demos arent as good at showing the real game as the 360's Other Thoughts: when i first got my ps3 i didnt have any games so i just downloaded a bunch of demos. from Newegg.com Pros: Actually, in a differennt perspective, CPU on PS3 (cell processor) and our general pc are run differently. In other word (to make this simple) for example, PS3 Cell Runs J++ and PC CPU use C++, 2 CPU are coded instructed to compute differently. If in general comparison, XBOX 360 runs on 3 Cores (Triple core at 3.2GHZ) PS3 are run at 8 SPES, 1 for reserved, in other word, PS3 runs at 8 Core at 3.2ghz Since is not really "8 Core" but coder can use each SPE to a specific usage such as 1 SPE use for Moving character, 1 SPE use for Rendering, 1 SPE use for AI, etc. On Xbox, you can't really do that, all 3 Core are compute simultaneously while PS3 can compute individually in each specific corePS3 Memory use 256mb XDR remember, may seem low, but this 256mb is acted like 4GB shared memory, XDR memory are fast, you can see article about itAlthough Graphic is generally not better, but it does have PhysX included in the PS3 using 7 series architecture(Continue in Other thoughts) from Newegg.com Pros: Arrived in great shape. Shipping took one day longer than expected but worth the savings. from Newegg.com Sturdy build and runs cooler than its predecessors. Best Blu-Ray player on the market! Uncharted is one of the best games on PS3 making this a great buy with the 160GB. Free online playBetter exclusives on PS3 imo from Newegg.com Pros: Blue Ray and games in one unit Cons: Online blows! Yes PSN is free compared to 360 but it shows. 360 has better exclusive titles and quite frankly comparing games back to back 360 looks better as well. from Newegg.com Playing games on a 100" 1080p HD Projector is the only way to get immersed into PS3 games. Cons: Some say that the PS3 is a dust and finger print magnet. I had my unit for over a year and only time I had to touch to casing was to take it out of the box and upgrade the hard drive from 40GB to 320GB. I never use the buttons on front of the unit, never had to. from Newegg.com Pros: Cant go wrong with the PS3! Cons: None. from Newegg.com Pros: Everything you could ask for in a home gaming system. - Still the best blu-ray player on the market. Supports blu-ray 2.0, 7.1 dts, bla bla...for blu-rays...it's the best- Games are awesome, look great- Download-able content, fun games, playstation home is fun- Free online gaming- Awesome looking home screen, wallpapers and themes- If you are reading reviews on new egg to determine if this system is for you, you are nuts.- Drakes fortune is a great game, probably one of the best looking games on the ps3. You can beat in about 18hrs. from Newegg.com Wifi and 160 gig storage are two big pluses; however, the 160gigs has nothing to do with how smooth and fast the system runs so ignore that from the previous commenter. Blu-ray movies are phenom on 1080p monitors/tvs. I definitely recommend this over the 360, especially now that the price has dropped. Cons: In my opinion Drake's Fortune was mediocre at best. from Newegg.com
