The new PS3 80GB provides gamers with an experiance beyond their wildest dreams. The Sony Playstation 3 contains the most technologically advanced computing power among next generation consoles while the Dual Shock 3 controller provides tactile feedback to gameplay. The pre-installed hard disk drive HDD is one of the options that allows you to play at home, while online. The built-in blue-ray player of the unit enriches you with precision, quality and high definition, you can also upgrade the visual quality of existing DVDs by up to 1080p level. It’s always easy to upload music or view your personal pictures with the integral SD card and memory stick slots. Look online and go to websites the same way you would using your desktop or notebook. The Playstation 3 offers more than just an amazing gaming experience.

As a university student being able to use the Sony FW11M notebook as a working unit in addition to its being a stellar gaming system with a great graphics card and blue ray player was what made it hard to choose between the two. As the price for the Sony FW11M notebook was nearly ?1000, I choose not to go for the notepad because it was way out of my budget. The current generation of consoles, such as the Wii and X box 360, looked appealing and worth considering. I used a friend’s console, and Nintendo’s quality of play and user interface are both top notch. Serious gamers may stay away though as the system appears to be aimed for a family to enjoy.

So when I had to decide which to get for my bedroom, it came down to either the X-Box elite or the PS3. The Sony’s 80Gb hard drive may not be as massive as the X-box elite’s 120Gb, but for my game playing purposes it’s more than sufficient and it can always be supplemented with an external drive if need be later. I went with the Playstation 3 because of the cooler look and because the dual purpose it serves with the integrated blu-ray player, not to mention the completely free online gaming community.

The Playstation 3 80GB offers game play that no other console can match. Playstation 3 offers a diverse entertainment experience all included in one unit: playing games, watching blu-ray and DVD movies. I am experiencing games that I never imagined with the Playstation 3. PS3 users need to know that there are many services over the internet that they can use. Also many applications can be downloaded and you can play online games which are always fun.

The Playstation 3 that I own is attached to my 32W4000 by HDMI which results in an absolutely amazing look, it is just awesome. The clearness and depth of movies, games, pictures, and just cruising the web in general is sometimes just amazing, truly difficult to fathom. These 4 games are awesome cool. Call of Duty puts you right on the front lines; Grand Theft Auto IV is totally insane and you’ve never seen anything like Soul Calibur IV. Pro Evolution 2008 has a intangible quality about it. This console is hard to put down once you start playing. I now much prefer browsing on Facebook or Youtube on a big screen via my Playstation 3. I think this is the most powerful console available on the market today. You definintely won’t be having second thoughts with this purchase. Have i told you that the newest version of Pro Evolution 2009 is about to be released?
