A venerable successor

The PS 3, now it is also available with a large 80GB hard drive and the DUALSHOCK 3. I have this version now for a couple of months. First, I dedicate myself to the positive properties:

+ Elegant design (matter of taste)
+ Understandable operation
+ Quiet fan and silent Blu-ray and DVD drive
+ Surprising number of possibilities of what you can do with this device:
This includes real Internet, because the PS 3 has its own browser and an integrated Wi-Fi.
+ Can play up to 1080p (Full HD)
+ Superior picture on Full HD TVs
+ Clear, well thought out menu
+ Various settings in the menu
+ Recognizes many audio formats (WMA)
+ Large storage for saved games, movies, etc. (80 GB)
+ DualShock 3 Controller (Wireless)

A few negative aspects there's nevertheless:

- Will not play PS2 games more: The biggest negative point about this PS 3. If you want to have a PS 3, run 2 games in the PS, must resort to the 60GB variant.
- The the DUALSHOCK 3 controller battery runs out quickly during intensive use
- Contain no HDMI cable included
- Very high price of newly published games (60-70 euros)

On the negative side I would add that there are more little things and did not really affect my decision for the PS 3. The main criteria, such as image, functionality, innovation and fun were all mastered.

There is one more point that I want to treat neutral. It is again the graph because in many games this works extremely glaring at the PS 3, but which need not be necessarily bad by some means they can be bothersome because at atmospheric games like Far Cry 2, is thus a lost little of the gloomy atmosphere. What I do not even like to negatively judge but would have said anyway is that this version of the PS 3 (80 GB) has fewer ports than the 60GB model. For this version (80 GB) is cheaper!

Round one can say that the PS 3 well done and even more so than an ordinary game console. It's truly become a versatile multimedia device, with which one must not only play, but it can serve as Blu-rayPlayer or be used to access the Internet and with no restrictions. For scarce 400 euros you get a whole lot on offer and if you consider that a good Blu-rayPlayer already cost the 250-300 euros alone, the new PS in the sense is not all that expensive.
Who is really only interested in a pure "gaming console, I recommend the XBOX 360 ARCADE, which is now to have been from 179 euros.
