Pros: Bluray, Great Gaming System, Internet Browsing Cons: Small Game Selection, Noisy Fan, Cost, Sony The Bottom Line: The PS3 is a great system, but it is also a work in progress. Review: I'm not here to write about the PS3 vs Xbox vs Wii -- it has been done to death. from Shopping.com Pros: its also a bluray player Cons: not backward compatable Review: i bought a playstation 3 about 2 months after it first came out and i've beeen impressed ever since day one.? i would recommend it to anyone who wants to play mature type games.? from Shopping.com Cons: Less impressive game inventory than competitors, some streaming hiccups, less impressive online aspect. The Bottom Line: A true all-in-one living room entertainment package that delivers.

Review: I never considered myself a gamer, yet somehow I ended up trying all three of the current generation consoles. I absolutely hated the Wii, loved the 360, and now still experimenting with the PS3. I sold the Wii pretty much a week after I got it - ... from Shopping.com The positives fully outweigh a few annoyances. Review: (Updated with additional information Feb. 11 2008) At the beginning of this review is a short story of how I got my Playstation 3. Feel free to skip right to the review under "The Review" if you'd like... from Shopping.com Pros: Graphics, Speed, Blue-Ray Cons: Cost, Web browser out-of-date The Bottom Line: Although this is the most expensive gaming console, it is worth the price. Review: I purchased my Playstation 3 for the holidays this past 2007. So far, at the price point I really do not have many regrets. from Shopping.com pros: awesome features and cool games. from Shopping.com pros: graphics, power, bluray, sound, stylish look, great games from Shopping.com pros: a blu ray player that supports dts hd master audio! from Shopping.com pros: technology packed game console also acts as a media center, great details, great graphics! from Shopping.com
