I've owned the PS3 when it first was released and just recently and i still can't get over some certain areas of where the system is lacking. Just a small review of pros and cons.

PROS
Its a Blu-Ray player which some people think is a great thing, myself i still think standard DVDs are just fine and don't see a whole lot of difference.

The interface is much smoother than 360, although for some its easy to get lost.

Most PS3 exclusives are very unique and different than whats on the 360, and i think in the future they will beat out xbox for major Sony only titles.

Much more of a multimedia device than the 360 could ever hope to be.

When downloading you can actually watch and keep track of how many megs per second or minute that your downloading, still no estimated time which would be nice.

The online gameplay being free is a plus, if you can find anyone who's playing.:(
CONS
HOME on PSN is ok but has done nothing to improve anything for the system.

The graphics engine is still not up to par, close but about 3 years behind by todays standards of GPU's(graphics processing unit). The processors push as much as they can to the GPU but no matter how many CPU's you have its only going to look as good as the GPU will let it. Don't get me wrong some games look great, but still don't perform all that well.

Still lacks a great online gameplay and content that you get on the 360.

Overall games still just don't look as impressive as on the 360, even exclusive titles, Little Big Planet, Killzone 2, and Resistance 2 look great but still are lacking in a LOT of details and textures, in other words some games still look washed out and have bad frame rate issues.

Nearly all of the library of PS3 games have a max setting of 720p HDTV resolution which today is falling behind considering everything is coming out 1080i or 1080p for LCD and Plasma tv's. NOTE:Some games are capable of this native, but others are upscaled and it still doesnt make much of a difference in the picture quality. Xbox 360 has been capable of full 1080i and 1080p since its release in 2005. And all games are capable of it. Check the back of the boxs kids.

Some of the games on PS3 suffer from some severe lag especially in situations where there is to much on the screen, various updates and even being able to disable some features on the system have not helped this issue in the last few years.

So why the PS3 isnt a bad gaming console it just doesnt have the means yet to be worth buying, i hope for Sonys sake they take care of these issues and make it a system for the masses. Right now its an aquired taste and just doesnt appeal to as many people as it should. The 360 still holds the title for being the best gaming console out there even though PS3 is 10 times more reliable, but its more of a do it all device which some people prefer some don't. I myself had both systems at once and rarely played the PS3 when i did have it. When i traded mine in they said there were actually more coming back and some stores have overstock of them and they just weren't able to move them(sell), i hope this changes, because i think with the right touch it can become a great system until sony comes out with something better in the future.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 80GB.
