Buying a game console is a rare purchase for me, the last system I bought being the DS Lite in 2006. I normally play older, more affordable games and shy away from the latest technology. The DS had been out for 2 years before I got my own, and likewise the PS3 has been on the market for about 3 years. I never saw myself buying a PS3 because after hearing a lot of bad press about it, I began to think of it as the lame horse of the current generation of consoles--the Xbox 360 had made a very strong showing in the United States, and the Wii was also making a killing in sales. After the market domination of the Playstation 2 in the previous generation, I wondered how Sony could possibly live up to this success. Choosing a console became a much more difficult task, because there was no longer a clearly dominant platform. When I decided to finally get a new console, I was feeling very insecure about my choice. This lead to me doing copious amounts of research on all three major consoles over the course of several months, taking into account market dynamics, hardware features and qualities, and software titles. I couldn't just ask people which one to buy because everyone ends up becoming a fanboy, so their testimony is practically useless. When I started my research, I was already biased against the PS3. To spare you all the details, I'll just go ahead and tell you that I completely changed my mind after looking more closely, and if you want my honest appraisal, the PS3 is the best system you can buy for this generation. I do plan on getting a Wii later on (possibly next year) because it has many great exclusive games, but if you have to choose just one then follow my lead. What sold me on the PS3 hardware were the following features: * Blu-ray * Built-in wifi * Free online play If you really think about it, these few features lend incredible strength to the platform. Those features aside, I don't think you will find a more well designed and manufactured system. I would say that the Xbox technically has better graphics, but the difference is so slight that I found it difficult to care. The PS3 graphics are so good that I can't complain at all, and the debate about which system actually has better graphics rages on. The bottom line is that the graphics on the PS3 are gorgeous and smooth, and I have confidence in the system's ability to perform. With the PS3 Slim's affordable price tag, there isn't any better value for your money. If you were holding back before, now is the time to buy, and you can pick up some of the greatest games now for around $20 or less through the Greatest Hits titles. As for software selection, you won't be disappointed. The library is outstanding. It's also not just suitable for this or that demographic. Some people will argue that one console is better for young people, one console is better for adults, one is better for families, etc etc. There may be some validity to these arguments, but the differences are exaggerated. There is something for everyone on the PS3, so have an open mind in case you have the PS3 pigeonholed for a certain type of audience. I never saw myself as a PS3 owner, but I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase; it was worth every penny.

I recently purchased the Sony Playstation 3 Slim 250 GB Console. First, Amazon is THE best and it arrived safely and much faster than I had expected. Immediately I went to work on attaining the MUST HAVES for Playstation 3 on my budget: 1 HDMI Cable (buy it off Amazon, it's only $3 + $2 shipping!) 1 Extra Sony PS3 Siaxis Controller (Buy this off Amazon as well, you can get a free game with the controller!) 1 or more Bluray movies (bought Let the Right One In and Interview with the Vampire) 1 or more games (I bought Soul Calibur IV and Afro Samurai (BOTH EXCELLENT w/ High Replay Value!) Now, for the Playstation 3 Ratings: Entertainment Value: 5/5. Hands-down, the Sony Playstation 3 is the best bang-for-the-buck in any category! Bluray movies are absolutely stunning visually and audio-wise. The only downfall to Bluray is the high cost per disc in retail stores (I buy my movies preowned OR offline to sidestep this annoyance). The games and features are so entertaining and the Playstation 3 has more than its' fair share of excellent titles! If you are like me, there is a smorgasboard of lower-priced titles (which are excellent) to be had. I am soon buying a router to take full advantage of the FREE online play Sony offers! Price Value: 5/5. With the cost of a Bluray player averaging $200 (some are cheaper, some are more, I know this), the Ps3 is a clearly good purchase. Not only can you watch Bluray movies, but you can upload movies, music, and more directly to the PS3 via a USB jumpdrive! Excellent value for the money. Other notes: The Sony PS3 is a good purchase if you want to watch Bluray and DVD Movies, listen to music with excellent sound quality, play some of the best games out there and get into free online gameplay (unlike 360). My only gripe is that it is not backwards compatible with Playstation 2 games. This is pretty minor to me, however, because the PS3 games are so much deeper and better graphically that I don't really have the "urge" to jump back to Ps2 games. Buy a Sony PS3 (either 120 or 250, but I recommend the 250 GB). You will NOT be disappointed!!!
