PlayStation 3 80GB
I've been enjoying the Playstation 3 for roughly two weeks now. Before owning the Playstation 3 I owned an XBox 360, which I eventually sold.
Brief history: I'm a 30 year old male who's been gaming since the Atari 2600. I've gamed on every system since then - including the TurboGrafx-16 - except for the Dreamcast. I eventually moved to the PC, and am now a console gamer once more.
The Playstation 3 turns out to be surprisingly good thus far. Graphics are top notch, gameplay is solid, and Blu-Ray's a boon. The friends list needs to be migrated into a more universal system ala XBox Live, but other than that online play is pretty decent. You do need to install each game to the console, but it's not usually as long winded as installing something to a computer.
Internet features are pretty decent, too. Even Youtube has a new website that allows full screen navigation for watching videos on your TV, though it's beta at the time of writing this and needs improvement.
Entertainment features are easy to use. No worries there. Insert a Blu-Ray or DVD movie and you're good to go.
There's an excellent photo album in the PS3 that makes it fun to go through your pictures. Due to the fact that the PS3 easily networks with the computers in your house you'll be able to browse the photos on your computer straight from the PS3.
You can also easily stream music files (such as MP3s) and video files from your PC.
It's also very easy to customize the background artwork of the PS3's interface - and it's FREE to do so, unlike the XBox 360 which makes you pay for themes or resort to using advertisements as themes if you want a "free theme". There are premium themes for the PS3, but it's super easy to transfer images from your desktop PC or from a USB stick to customize your background. No secretive theme system here.
In all, the Playstation 3 has some very good potential and delivers on some (even a lot) of that potential, though not all of it. It's no where near as bad as many people have made it out to be; indeed, the worse thing about the Playstation 3 is Sony itself. They need to stop making grandiose claims in the media or otherwise making a fool of themselves. They are their own worse enemy.
The system itself is good, though, and ultimately cheaper than the XBox 360. The catch, of course, is that you pay for it all up front with the PS3. Thus the seemingly larger price tag. With the 360 you'll be spending here-and-there to buy "add ons" to eventually have the whole system. Is that good or bad? That depends entirely on what you want.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 80GB.
