Sony PlayStation® 3 (60 GB) Console

If you compare it to the Xbox360, Right now they are pretty equal when it comes to graphics. No major differences apart from PS3s 1080p support. So why is the ps3 a better buy then the Xbox360.

Well start by looking at this,

Ps3 60gb ~£400 [Updated]

That is including a blu-ray reader
Wireless internet
HDMI support
Free Online Gaming
and a 60gb HDD

Also remember, unlike the XBOX 360, the games are Region free, so you can buy games for half the UK price from the US and play them over here before they are even released!

Xbox360 ~£270

That is with just 20gb so add let say £25 for an upgrade, would say thats a pretty low price for upgrading a 20gb to a 60gb. (total @ £295)

Then lets add the Xbox equivalent to the blu-ray reader, The HD-DVD, there about £130 on ebay. (Total @ £425) Dont forget that this is a large chunky box outside your xbox, and the HD DVD is currently loosing the fight against blu-ray 3:1

Then the Wireless reciever, another £30-40. (total @ £465)

Oh yeh, and dont forget that you have to pay a fee every year to use XBOX live think thats about £39 (a bit more actualy).

So over a period of one year a fully equiped Xbox360 will cost you over £500 and a Ps3 that not only looks better under your TV but also preforms allot better then the Xbox will cost you £425.

Not only that, but Blu-ray is outselling HD-DVD 3:1 so it is allot more likely to be the standard media storage in the future.

True the Xbox has a lot more games right now, the graphics aren't much different to the PS3s right now but it WILL max out before the ps3. Remember the ps3 is allot harder to program games for. But onces the game designers get a hang of it you can expect brilliant games to come!

Here's a few games you might want to keep your eye out for! Final Fantasy XIII, Devil May Cry 4, Metal Gear Solid, White Knight and there are lots of rumors of a remake of Final Fanyasy VII, one of the best games ever made coming to PS3 ONLY!

EDIT: Sony have just reported a pricecut in the ps3, so we will likely be seeing it go down buy around £100 until xmas! Right now we can already see it for the same price with bundled games + controllers!

"Sadly" tho microsoft wont be able to do the same with the 360 since it has over 33% failure rate, and they just went out and said that all xboxes made during the last 2 years have a fault in them that could cause them to break early. to make up for this they have prolonged all warrentys by 2years, but it dosnt stop the fact that they will loose big money on this and will most likely loose this battle against the ps3 because of it.

Product was received in excellent condition and functions properly. All cables ie, HDMI/charger cables were correct and present as mentioned in product description. very happy with product

I am a dedicated gamer, although I am a huge fan of the PlayStation, I am not biased, I have owned many consoles and tested all the next-gen consoles.

Firstly we'll start off with the main differences between the PS3 & it's main rival, the Xbox 360. Just so you know, I did own an Xbox 360 Premium when it was first released up until about 4 months after purchasing a PS3.

I personally have a 60GB PS3 which unfortunately is no longer for sale. The reason for this is the drive they was using to make the PS3 backwards compatible was costing too much and they had to get rid of this. There are also quite a few other features that aren't on the 40GB version like the card-reader. This does narrow the market to the Xbox 360 widely, especially now Xbox has released the Elite 120GB version of the 360. Out of all the above, I would still be looking at getting a new or pre-owned 60Gb version of the PS3. Just going on features the main reason's being, comparing the price of the 40GB PS3 to 360 Elite;

The 40GB PS3 cost's £43 more than the Xbox Elite. Now the Xbox Elite has got a much much larger hard drive, but it doesn't include a HD-DVD (£110), it doesn't have built in Wi-Fi (£60), you have to buy rechargable battery packs (£30 for two) you have to pay to play online (around £40). All in all to make the top version of the 360 equivalent to the basica PS3 will end costing £197 more! To top it all off the HD-DVD drive is now only £13 as HD-DVD has lost the HD movie battle and it is no longer supported by Xbox!

In regard's to the actual gameplay of the two consoles, graphic's wise there is very little difference but in general everything seem's smoother on the PS3. Admittedly the Xbox still does have more variety of games, but the gap is closing.

The other big downside to the PS3 is the Xbox Live Arcade had an excellent choice of games on there and although the PS3 has full PS1, PS2 & PS3 game downloads, it's still not as good.

All in all, buy a PS3 over an Xbox but regarding the Wii, it's good if you want a 'mess-a-round with your mates console', but doesn't compare to these!

Playstation 3 or Xbox 360

Firstly the Xbox 360 is a cheaper alternative to the ps3 and the graphics of the x box at this time are on a par with the ps3. But the playstation is still relatively new in terms of the game makers and are not using the playstations full potential of its new cell processor yet. as for internet play both consoles offer great on line gaming the Xbox 360 uses x box live and will cost around £40 pounds a year and if you want to go wireless the Xbox 360 can do this also but you will need a wireless adapter costing aprox £60 as for the ps3 its internet connection is free and has built in wifi. Both systems have wireless controllers as for backward compatibility the Xbox 360 only has partial backward compatibility where as the ps3 has full backward compatibility on practically all titles including the ps1 games but this is limited to the 60gb version only the 40gb is not backward compatible and the 80gb has partial compatibility on ps2 games only. the ps3 can also be connected to a psp via its USB interface. Both systems offer a full HD experience but the ps3 also has a blue ray player 2.0 compliant. As for reliability the Xbox 360 unfortunately has at last count a 33% failure rate approximately 1 in 3 but the customer service is reported as good. Where as the ps3 has less than 1% failure rate and I can confirm that the customer service is excellent .Ok so witch one should you buy well to re iterate the Xbox 360 it’s cheaper to buy and is great online and graphically similar to the ps3. As for the ps3 it also is great on line but it’s FREE and it has built in wifi. Graphically the ps3 is similar to the Xbox 360 but only for the moment as the full force of the play stations cell processor is still to be released and not forgetting the fact the ps3 is also a blue ray player. Ok the ps3 is quite expensive compared to the Xbox 360 but if you take inconsideration the fact that a blue ray player will set you back at least £200 pounds the ps3 starts to make sense and if you can get hold of the unfortunately discontinued 60gb version of the ps3 then you get even more bang for your money as it is totally backward compatible. So in my opinion the ps3 is the way to go but only if you will use the great features it has to offer. If you just want a games console to play on with your mates or for the kids bed room the x box 360 is the better choice hope you found my review useful ………. I got the ps3 60GB James (*; *)

this product does not exist, the 80gb version wasnt produce here in the uk. Im trying to get payment from ebay, pls stay away from seller. awful communication and not straight forward.

The PS3 is the best console on the market by a long way it boasts amazing graphics and seamless gameplay. It is also brilliant for all your movies and internet needs.

A great PS3 hardly any scratches to the case, only what is to be expected in transport. Was backwards compatable which i was hoping. Ive had no problems with it.

the graphics on a full HD tv are superb,no dislikes.I bought this to go with the HD tv we bought instead of a dedicated bluray player

item was in as good condition as was stated, all in working order. collected in person. no problems at all. recommend seller.
thank you.

This ebayer was gr8 with many areas; comms / delivery / packaging.....not in too many more words the best one I have every dealt with!!

Was very impressed by this console - a huge variety of games and fun for every genre/demographic. Graphics are crisp and smooth - this system should be considered when looking at wii/xbox or other alternatives. Games are a little expensive but provide hours and hours of entertainment as gameplay has somewhat been improved on since PS2 technology. The new blue ray disc are great - they allow more fluidity when watching DVD or playing games. The style and look will fit into any bachelor pad surroundings - really smooth curves - VERY IMPRESSED - RECOMMEND AAA*** 4/5.

I was looking for a next gen console and having played a friends x box 360 thought id end up buying 1 myself,but as time went on and the price of the PS3 lowered i found myself re-thinking my options.In the end i decided on the PS3 and am very glad i did,Sony put out quality,ive had a PS1&PS2 and both machines where great,i believe there past speaks for itself.Its great as a games console and as a blu ray player.I still have a few games i love and am not willing to let go of so being able to play those on the PS3 was a big selling point as was the fact you can play any PS3 game with an online function,online for free.The six axis controllers are great and add something new to games that make use of them.Theres many other things you can do with the PS3 like use it to look on the net to look on youtube and watch vids or whatever else you feel like.you can also store music and pics and download demos from the ps3 store.I think its a great machne and anyone who buys 1 will see its money well spent.

Sony's new PS3 has been labeled expensive & lacking, arguebly that maybe true. I bought my PS3 over a year ago for £400 a not so sweet deal in comparision now you could say.

Well unlike current models my PS3 boasts all the extra's, flash card readers, 4 USB slots instead of 2 & more importantly PS2 backwards compatibility. For me with 10-15 PS2 games I regularly play thats worth the price when you consider for £30 more to buy a PS2 you get upscaled graphics for nearly all PS2 games

However £100 knocked of the latest and 20GB of the hard disk this still isn't a bad deal. The lack of features mentioned above aren't exactly missed, I for one don't you use flash cards and use a maximum of 2 USB slots, and despite making use of the backwards compatibility, if you don't own PS2 games why should you pay the premium for it.

Despite the £100 saving I would have made, I'm happy with the model I purchased. Especially when you consider that the PS3 is more than just a games console, all models of PS3 have a Blu-ray player, this on its own is a resonible £300 price tag in comparision to current models of Blu-ray players on the market (£200-£300).

The PS3 is more than just a video games console, its a media center, a registered Media Center client, capable of connecting to you PC or MAC and playing you films and music through the 37" HD LCD TV you PS3 deserves to be partnered with.

Since the day I've purchased I've only had one problem with it... it can't freeze time so I can play it long enough without being forced shopping with my girlfriend.

If you can find this model on eBay buy it over the latest PS3 model, you maybe paying more but if like me you need the features its worth paying!

On the good side, it can play most of the PS2 titles I have thrown in it. A further plus, it can be connected to the internet wirelessly to play multiplayer online...

On the bad side, with each game costing ~£50, the PS3 games are still on the expensive side...

the ps3 was ok but it had a deep scratch which was expected when getting something second hand very dusty must off been owned by kids or something,Does work fine everything is in order,USB CABLE for the controller was not in with the package but luckily enough i had a spare one at home so no troubles with that,Games Work Fine so far a few light scratches on them but they play good,One thing i was very disappointed in was Heavenly Sword would not work i took it out of the ps3 to give it a clean and the disc underneath was split straight through so it had to go in the bin,£340 i paid well i was expecting the games to not be broken.But the ps3 works ok so overall i guess not bad

Really wanted to say that the product is as described, i'm pleased with it and most importantly the person that sold it to me was helpful, polite and honest. Rare qualities that need a mention i think. Thank you very much.
