Customer Review

Purchase incentive:
I had before I bought the Playstation 3 is a Playstation 2 console. I was on the whole satisfied with the PS2, as now but BluRays slowly became fashionable, I was busy thinking to buy a BluRay player. Good BluRay players cost then around 300th This was too expensive for a simple BluRay player, however. I then read on Chip.de that the PS3 is one of the best BluRay players. Then I thought to myself that I could indulge just once a new console me, which I can then use as a BluRay player. The PS3 is a little more expensive than a standard BluRay player, but it also offers a lot. After this consideration, I have informed only about the prices with the Move Starter Kit and then went on a shopping spree to buy them to me.

Price and source:
I voted for the PS3 Slim 320 GB incl. Move Starter Pack Move and a game called Heavy Rain paid then 390. The PS3 console was with the game on offer at Gamestop in Essen. I have the console now has more than 2 years and am very satisfied so far.

This says the manufacturer about the product:
PlayStation 3 opens up a world of unlimited entertainment to you. Go on untold adventures in eye-opening High Definition games, enjoy incredible BluRay Disc movies, free access to the PlayStation Network, and more. The game is just the beginning.

The inner workings of the new PS3 system has been completely redesigned from the semiconductors and power supply unit up to the cooling system and so makes the meaning slimmer and lighter design possible. Compared to the very first PS3 model with 60GB HDD, the volume, the width and the weight has been reduced by about two thirds. Furthermore, the energy consumption by two-thirds could be reduced and thus also the volume of the ventilation system.

While the sleek curved body design of the original model, convinced the new PS3 system also with a textured surface and a stressed casual look. The new model speaks with its compact body and casual appearance of a significantly wider audience, which can look forward to a perfect entertainment system for the home.

Now I come to my personal experience and in my opinion to the console and to the different functions.

Connection to the TV:
Whoever allows himself a Playstation 3 console, should have in my opinion an HD TV. You can see the Playstation 3 even connect it to a tube TV, but I think here the purchase of PS3 is not worth because not everything can be taken out of the graph. The PS3 can be connected using the supplied Euro-SCART connector and the adapter to a CRT TV. However, I advise against it, because the graphics are very poor. If you only have a tube TV was to remain in my opinion at the cheaper PS2 console.

The PS3 is designed for HD TVs and only here it makes sense. Unfortunately, the delivery lacked an HDMI cable, which naturally enables far better graphics. I must therefore buy me extra for scarce 15th The PS3 is easily connected with the HDMI cable and the image is then again a lot better than with the supplied cables.

Movies on BluRay Disc:
The PS3 is capable of playing BluRay movies. The picture quality may ask my opinion real BluRay player in the shade. I have compared the graphics of the PS3 BluRay player times with the image of a Samsung BluRay player my friend. I have to say the PS3 is a lot better and made me really excited about picture and sound quality. I never expected that the PS3 has a better picture quality than a pure BluRay Player. Although the quality difference is not enormous, but still noticeable, and although there is a games console in the first place.

The only problem I have with the BluRay function is that you have to use the movie menu, etc. with the normal controller. I find it hard to remember me now, etc. which button for stop stands. But there is a remedy, because there is an extra remote controls for the console, but I have not yet bought, but maybe worth considering. When I return some money have time left, I'm going to buy the remote control for the royale on PlayStation 3, so as to operate in BluRay menu should be easier.

Games:
The game selection for the Playstation 3 is remarkable, there is hardly a game that does not exist for the PS3. Each X-any genre you will find many different games and probably for all ages which appropriate cell line is. There is Playstation Move. PlayStation Move consists of a PlayStation Eye camera and a special Move motion controller. The camera detects using the Move controller the exact position in space and can thus accurately capture and reproduce every movement.

I got myself directly with the PS3, the Move Starter Pack incl. Heavy Rain Move version. First I tested with the Move Starter contained disc. On the Starter Disc unfortunately only demo versions of the first Move games are available so you can test the system Move. But to play the Starter Disk is not suitable, since the demos are very short. The starter disc is really only for testing.

The starter disc containing demos of the following games:
Beat Sketcher: Here you can create works of art and music while you see yourself on the screen and in the Create mode of the game a variety of colors and brushes can be used.
echochrome II: You can play the tutorial and three levels of the elegant and original puzzle game.
EyePet: Move Edition: The EyePet: Move Edition is a foretaste of how to interact via the PlayStation Move motion controller with its EyePet.
Sports Champions: Here you can allude table tennis and disco golf.
TV Superstars: In this game you can put his face into the game and play alone or with up to three friends Frockstar and Lets Get Physical.
Start the Party !: This is a demo version of a party game in which you crush insects, can dribble with basketballs or can beat moles.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11: Who knows Tiger Woods, will know immediately that this is a game of golf.
The Shoot: One can shoot through an entire level of the shooter and take on the role of a movie star who is trying to impress the director.
Tumble: This demo includes 2 levels of play. It builds with a steady hand towers of various objects and used mines in order to blow up as efficiently as possible.

To test the demo was good enough, but to really have joy you should buy the full version. There are now far more Move games than those listed above.

The movements are really transferred accurately and even my point of view and everything can be detected. I can not explain exactly how it works, but it works great. Even with very fast movements (eg table tennis) the system will not miss anything. The movements are super playing. However, you should make sure that not too many light sources are in the background, because the system then it gets a little waver. Normal room lighting is however perfectly ok. There are also for Move, a huge game selection and in any genre you will discover Move games.

Graphics:
The graphics are simply great in most games. The worlds look very real and not as its predecessor (the Playstation 2) as Pappwelten. The figures of the games have very highly detailed faces and one even recognizes wrinkles and lashes, because if you times it eg GTA respects. The sound is also good and very clear. But graphics and sound depend probably a little from the TV when you should connect the PS3 to a tube TV for example, you do not expect too much. I have a Smart LED TV from Samsung. Here are the graphics and the sound definitely great.

Internet:
I also know that there is a function with which you can go on the internet, for example on Google, but I have only tried once and I'm not quite through increased by the operator. In addition, it is very confusing. Did it then left, as I prefer to go to the Internet with your laptop or my smartphone anyway. A tablet I have not, but even that would be a better alternative to go to the Internet.
Music:
One can save his entire music collection in one place and listen to your favorite songs on the TV or the PS3. Once USB flash drive in, everything invite over and you've got all the songs in the music library PS3. This is easy to use and various playlists can also create. I find it sometimes useful when I want to listen to music, because then I do not need an extra anschmeißen my laptop. I have namely no music, because this feature is really great. In addition, my TV has better sound boxes than my laptop and when I soon have a surround sound system will buy me the music experience with the PS3 guarantees even better.

Photos:
Not only can you download music, but also his photos on the PS3 and watch them then. Real handy when you want to show vacation photos, for example, friends, then it can all make yourself comfortable in front of the television and admire a great slide show. I think that's great and the operation is very simple.

PlayStation Network and Store:
In PlayStation Store, you can play online for free games and browse great deals. What I find most Network so great is that you can, for example, when you suddenly feel like a new game gets on a Sunday can easily browse the online store. If you have found a game, you can download it yourself, although it will cost something, but it is cheaper than in business. Another advantage is that you can immediately start playing to get up off the couch without. In addition, one finds in the PlayStation Store games the PS2 and PS1 console, you can also download and play. Pay you do either by direct debit or not to bring a credit card available to buy in all technology markets like Saturn etc. I'll get myself whatsoever this card, so I do not have to provide my bank details. In addition, there are also a few free games. In addition, you can download each game as a demo and, if appropriate test beforehand if you want to try new games.

PlayStation Home:
PlayStation Home is a type of game that you can play when you log on to the PlayStation Network. It's free and you can run a self-created character through the area, meet new people and participate in cool actions. Personally, I find it very funny to talk with others there. In addition, you can set up there his own apartment with earned objects. Since it's free, I recommend it to anyone to try just once.

PlayStation Eye (Move):
The PlayStation Eye camera opens up a world full of original games and a free voice and video chat. The camera, I personally have not yet used to chat but only in conjunction with the Move motion controller to play games of Move and for that she is very well suited. In addition, I have found me a mount for the camera. Normally, you should set the camera to the television, but designed the difficult in times of flat screens. The holder of Hama is practical and has been specially produced for the PlayStation Eye camera. The holder can be flexibly adapted to the width of a flat screens and is simply clamped.
Remote Play:
If you connect your PlayStation 3 with your PSP, you can content from one system to another and transferred on the move to access PlayTV. Unfortunately I have no PSP and can not say anything about this feature, but I wanted to mention that there is this function. All have a PSP you can associate with the PS3.

PlayTV:
Finally no longer you need to depend on fixed transmission times, but can record and watch your favorite programs at any given time. I have not tried it myself, because you need this one module, which costs about 100, and that is me personally too expensive for the function. Also, I rarely watch TV anyway and do not need this function. Many programs can already look up to a week to the media libraries of the respective transmitter.

Style:
The sleek and curved body design of the PS3 like it very much. It is modern, yet simple, so that it fits into any living room. I have the PS3 in Black, now there are these but also in white.

In addition, you can change the user interface of the PS3. By default, you can only change the color. But you can, for example, on different layouts ps3-themes.com down load the user interface graphically adapt his style. One can, for example, a layout similar to its favorite game down load and already shines the user interface in a new and guaranteed not boring design.

Heating the console:
I find that the console is very warm during the game. That lies with me but probably also the fact that it has very little bursts. It stands in a small compartment and has upwards and to the sides just under 2 cm air and backwards the subject is also to. Unfortunately, I have no place else she should ask because on my TV Board is no more space. Until now, however, because of the warming no problems, the console runs and runs and runs and has been for almost 2 years.

Operation:
The Games and the PlayStation 3 menu can be very simple to operate via the controller. Use the arrow keys you can scroll through the menu or move his characters. In addition, you can use the analog sticks to the characters, etc. to navigate through the game world. The other keys are assigned depending on the style of play for different functions and actions. The X is usually to confirm.

Only operate the BluRay player with the controller is very cumbersome and complicated. There are now for the BluRay function but to buy a remote that costs less than 25. This I will buy myself yet because the BluRay menu is really confusing.

Heavy Rain:
Since this game was right there on my PlayStation 3 (as Move Edition), I have of course tested it a try. You had to with a character running around and do something. What? I do not know that either! I did not understand the point of the game and sold it again. Definitely not a match for me.

Useful accessories:
Property me a 3-in-1 bought for the PS3 controller, the Move Navigation Controller and the Move motion controller charging station. Find this very convenient because you have sorted the controller beautiful, they do not lie around in the area and can be charged simultaneously. You do not have to connect each time to load to the PS3 via USB cable, the controller so.

Conclusion:
Although I have only one minor compared to other consoles, but I love my PS3 about everything. The console is a real all-rounder and is perfectly suitable BluRay Player. The game selection is huge and offers something for everyone at. Equally impressive are the graphics and sound. In addition, there are many other functions such as slideshow, music player, internet browser and many more.
The operation of the Playstation is super easy, what can not be said from the BluRay menu unfortunately. Nevertheless, there is of me a strong buy recommendation for people who consider to buy a game console. Meanwhile, the PS4 on the market, so the PS3 is now more favorable than a year ago and who does not always have the newest, is serving more than well with the PS3.

Because of my minor criticisms to PlayTV and BluRay menu operation I forgive 4 of 5 stars.
