The cover is very useful, it gives protection for the ps3 controller, keeps it clean from dirt and protects it from scratches and it gives you a firmer grip. The red design looks real good in the controller. Highly recimmend.

This game is great overall. As a long time fan of Tekken, I must admit I came in very skeptical, even hated the game after the first hour or so, however, after playing it more and giving it a legitimate chance, I'd recommend it to anyone.

What's Good:

A good array of fighters, each one very unique, you never feel like Fighter X is just a palette swap of Fighter Y.

Physics engine is finally at a point where the game is not an absurd juggle-fest, this has been my biggest critique as long as I've known about the game.

Grapplers can actually grapple! Thanks to "buffering" and 0-frame throws the game is not rediculously unbalanced between the strikers and grapplers.

Graphics are spectacular

Great variety of arenas

The Bad:

Characters do not have stories

No FMVs

A.I. ranges from rediculously easy to rediculously hard

It takes forever to unlock items

Overall, I highly recommend this to PS3 owners, but I will be honest, once Tekken 6 comes out I probably won't play this as much.

Scrubs and button mashers beware. You'll start this game up play for 15 minutes without doing anything worthwhile and go "THIS GAME SUCKS!" and return to your mortal kombat or Dead or Alive. You're just too impatient to learn a quality fighter. You can't just pick this game up and be knock heads. You have to train a bit. Each character has a distinctive style and all the major martial art styles, even some that aren't real martial arts (luchadore and american wrestling) are represented. This game is the most well balanced fighter as well. Unlike most fighters with 2 or 3 really good characters and a mediocre remaining cast, Virtua Fighter 5 contains the most well balanced character roster of any fighter. Attacks that open up the potential for big damage aren't safe and can be punished by evade or after guarding (Usually by throws, Unless the opponent buffers escapes (It can get deeper still).) In the most popular fighting game in America, Tekken 5, big damage moves are safe on block and can lead to boring overly defensive gameplay, with each player dashing back just waiting for whiffed moves. In VF5 if you turtle you're going to get punished. This series isn't for everybody, but it is for those that want the deepest 1 on 1 experience in fighting. The game really shines when playing against other experienced players.

If you think a fighting game needs a storyline or CGI movies then plz pass on this game. The main point of this game is playing to your potential.

This is an immensely entertaining game. Perhaps the most impressive aspect is the range of skill levels it accomodates; huge, immediate fun for the casual gamer yet impressive depth for those who take their Virtua Fighting seriously. Coming from a family with extensive Real World Martial Arts experience, it is fascinating to explore the strengths and weakness of the various characters. Just as in the real world of martial arts a small, skilled opponent can take out a big brute---but you better practice! The game is very well-balanced; any character can be a stud or dud, depending on your skill level.

After a long day at work, what could be more fun than powering up the PS3 and beating the tar out of "Jeffry," the obnoxious Australian Pancratium expert? I tell you, he deserves every thumping he gets!

Some magazine reviews have bemoaned the lack of on-line play. In a perfect world, yes, on-line would be a nice addition. But this is the ultimate fast muscle twitch game. Often the winner is determined by a last-moment, split-second kick. The quality of game play would suffer over the internet. So enjoy Virtua Fighter 5 for what is is: a gorgeous, highly replayble adrenalin-pumping slugfest.

Read Best Reviews of Virtua Fighter 5 Here

SEGA's Virtua Fighter carries a legacy that only the blue hedgehog can rival. Akira, Wolf, Sarah you've seen them in one form or another, whether it's the blocky polygonal models from the original or the immaculately detailed PlayStation 3 ones. Does this legacy fall far from the tree?

Virtua Fighter 4 was a critical success on the PlayStation 2, with a global average of 91% in its original form and 91.4% in the revised form, Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution. In fact, it sits just under Soul Calibur 2 (91.6%) as the all-time highest-rated PS2 fighting game. History lesson aside, Virtua Fighter 5 does little to improve upon its PS2 predecessor, but it really doesn't need to. Fans of the PS2 game will find two new fighters and improved gameplay and graphics to boot. Cover boy Akira is joined by his entire set of Virtua Fighter 4 peers and newcomers El Blaze and Eileen. El Blaze, a luchadora, uses fancy wrestling moves while Eileen hops around a whole lot and utilizes what I considered cheaper hits than other characters. My personal favorite was the bald monk Lei-Fei.

Fighting is a breeze for newcomers and series vets alike. I can't say how grateful I am for this, because Virtua Fighter 4 wasn't so accessible and as a result I personally didn't appreciate it as much as my critical peers. On the PS3 pad, X serves as a punch button while Circle kicks and Square blocks. The triggers act as shortcuts for combinations of those three buttons, making special moves easier to execute. Combos are simple and flow together well, giving Virtua Fighter 5 a feel that is more similar to Dead or Alive than other fighting games. Fights tend to last longer than in other games, since the default settings require you to win three rounds, not two out of three, but three rounds, meaning close fights extend into five rounds.

Quest Mode is where it's at in this game; the mode is essentially a recreation of the experience of traveling to different arcades and challenging players on a machine. To start you create a profile and choose your preferred character, and then the Quest world is open to explore. There are several different arcades with "players" of different skill levels, so there is a feeling of progression as you go from one arcade to the next, improving in your ranking and piling up wins. Winning matches and tournaments in the different arcades will earn you money and items to customize your character and beef out your profile. Not only is it addictive to collect items and personalize fighters, it's very difficult to stop trying to improve your rank and dominate different arcades.

Unfortunately, Quest mode is the only attention-grabber. The Arcade and Versus modes are very generic and don't offer anything you haven't seen before. There's a VF TV mode, which is entirely worthless-it lets those with HDTVs and HDMI cables appreciate their expensive commodities by watching two CPU-controlled characters battle. Virtua Fighter 5's biggest flaw is its lack of PS3 online play. With Quest mode being such a focus and character customization being a bit part of that, I find the lack of at least some sort of online profiling to be inexcusable on SEGA AM-2's part. After all, A.I. opponents in quest mode don't recreate the tendencies of human players very well, and it isn't even until elite ranks that the CPU becomes difficult or utilizes techniques that force the player to study the fighting system beyond a few different combos.

At least Virtua Fighter 5 shows off the PS3's power for the most part. Arguably there isn't a better-looking game on the system. Every character is fleshed-out-literally, in fact-with detail down to their skin textures and hairstyles. All of the different outfits are colorful and react realistically as the players animate. I was very impressed with the animation in general; Virtua Fighter 5 stands right beside Dead or Alive 4 as the fighter with the most visual fluidity. The only complaint I have from a technical standpoint is that the overall sound of the game is slightly muffled and doesn't blast out of the speakers like I think it should.

Virtua Fighter 5 should be your next PlayStation 3 game if you enjoy fighting games and can deal with its "more of the same, but improved" syndrome. Quest mode could easily have you hooked for thousands of matches and have you searching for band-aids for gamer's thumb. The lack of online play hurts its overall longevity, but perhaps this will be attended to with the Xbox 360 version's summer 2007 release.

List Price: $149.99
Sale Price: $44.68
Today's Bonus: 70% Off

OK, the game itself isn't that bad. Despite the cheesy graphics and goofy storyline, the music is actually OK.

My bad review is on the instrument peripherals.

The airstrike drums are completely frustrating and UNfun. They don't register hits half the time. You're not actually playing drums, you're striking the air with the drumsticks. The IR sensor has to be exactly aligned with the drum sensors and you have to "shake" it to get it to register the hit. It definitely does not feel like you're really playing drums. Do yourself a favor, use a Rock Band drum kit.

And then the "real guitar." It really is technically a real guitar, that you can use to play this game. But it's mostly a gimmick-don't expect to actually learn how to play guitar. This is a rhythm game just like guitar hero, except you're using a real guitar with strings instead of a plastic guitar with buttons.

The only addition is the option to play "power chords". The game uses a whopping TWO power chords-one uses two fingers and one uses one finger-and the fingering is exactly the same no matter where it's played on the fretboard. A monkey can learn how to do that.

Actually playing the song with the power chord option, I did not find to be very much fun either.

If you want to learn real guitar skills I suggest you get Rock Band 3 and buy the pro guitar peripheral.

I paid $40 dollars for this item as a gift and it was well worth it. The game originally sold for $149.99. What comes with the package is a 3/4 size real electric guitar. Not only does it work with the game you can also plug it up to an amp. The build quality of the guitar is really good for a "game" controller. If you are intersted in learning this would be a really good starter guitar. The game itself has a steep learning curve but it will teach you some fundamental guitar lessons. So for $40 its a must buy for the guitar alone.

Playstation 3 Wireless ThumbPad

Customer Ratings:
List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: Price Unavailable
Today's Bonus:

I recently bought this item and am very satisfied with it for many reasons. For one it was much much easier and faster to type than it was with the on-screen keyboard. While this is attached to the controller (using either the clip for the Sixaxis or the Madcatz controller which are both includind in the package) all the buttons are accesible It is comfortable to use and hold (although it makes the controller a little heavier) when just typing. If you were trying to type while playing a game this would be very awkward. The best place to have put the keyboard would have been under the analog sticks which is why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. One great feature about this is if you don't use the clip you can use it as a normal wireless keyboard that works with anything that is compatible with a keyboard and has a USB port like a computer or an Xbox 360.

Overall this is a great product and I would recomend it to anyone.

I've had this mini keyboard for about 6 months now and it works consistently without incident. Granted I only use it with the web browser and to chat in RFOM. I just plugged it in and it worked. It does make the controller front heavy and I do get a bit nervous shaking off bullseye tags without feeling like I'm going to send it flying. Although, to date this hasn't happened. The size is a huge pro. My wife wouldn't stand for a full size keyboard in the living room. The only reason I am giving it four stars is that I wish it was bluetooth.

The USB light never turned green (which should indicate that it's charging). It never stops flashing red (which indicates that it's searching for a receiver). It never syncs with the thumbpad. Be careful when purchasing this item. Some have claimed success, others have not. Unfortunately for me, I'm in the "have not" category.

(Preamble to my review: unlike the other reviewers I'm using it for my HTPC not a PS3)

Nice little find and fine for what it is: a mini thumb keyboard. Detected immediately in windows xp, good range (through walls at least ~20 feet; my apt's not big enough to test farther). Missing many keys that would be handy on a PC (eg ESC, ctrl, etc...) but they can apparently be scripted in with an external program. Keys are a little spongy, and missing the solid tactile feel of PDA thumb keyboards, but it d/n affect typing speed.

As another review noted, the receiver's red LED does flash (~1-2 Hz) but only when the kbd is in sleep mode. This could potentially be annoying, but you could just cover it up with some electrical tape. Another potential concern is the USB charging: if the battery runs out, you can't just the change batteries; you'll need to recharge. Not sure if it works while charging, but that sort of defeats the point.

Filling such a niche market, I wasn't expecting too much, but was pleasantly surprised, esp. for the entirely reasonable price.

Want Playstation 3 Wireless ThumbPad Discount?

I bought this for use mainly on PlayStation Home (as I use voice-chat when I'm in-game, no time to type :P), and I must say that I am extremely disappointed. The only reason I did not give it a 1-star is that it does not malfunction; it works perfectly (tested both on PS3 and PC), but how it works is just horrible.

About the construction and performance: Every time I fit it onto my controller, I feel like the plastic is about to snap, and could almost hear it cracking. I tried different methods of fitting it in, but all lead to the same result. I feel the plastic isn't of good quality, and that a better job could have been done. To add to that, whenever I'm typing, I have to press the buttons pretty hard in order for it to register the input, which not only makes it difficult and frustrating to type on it, but again, I could feel the plastic cracking under the strain of the hard button presses.

To sum up, though it works smoothly (plug & play for both the PC and PS3), actually using it is problematic, difficult, and stressful. Hope this review helps!

Bandai Namco Tales of Xillia for PS3

Sale Price: $72.49
Today's Bonus: 48% Off

For all you who don't know yet, Namco Bandai have announce that this game will come to NA and Europe next year (2013). No exact date has been given as of yet. This should be great news for all Tales fans and jrpgamers alike. Let's hope Amazon updates their availability of this game to reflect the NA version soon, so we can add it to our shopping carts and pre-order the game.

Click Here to Read More Reviews >>

Tales of Xillia is the first title in the Tales game in the series to feature a player select option to see the game through Jude Mathis's point of view or Milla Maxwell's. This game's camera angle is very similar to the camera used in Final Fantasy XIII because it wanted to deliver a more cinematic view during gameplay. The animation by far is the most impressive in the series' history and the game has no game breaking glitches as should be expected by now. The combat when doing single character battling is very much the same to Vesperia, but much smother and the Skill points make a return. Similar to Final Fantasy X's leveling grid is an arts grid for increasing character status to a peek and shops have VIP roles to unlock to buy better weapons and armour. Milla Maxwell is by far the most powerful Tales character ever introduced and is very pretty to add, but she doesn't know much about being a regular human girl. Jude Mathis is a doctor and an expert in healing arts, but his world get a bit rocky shortly after the opening cutscene clears and Milla is introduced. The openning cutscene is Progress by Ayumi Hamasaki and this is where the review gets a little less lengthy so bare with me.

The Good:

Great Story

Excellent Voice Acting

Best Battle System

Best Graphics so far

Lovable Characters

Beautiful Cinematics

The Bad: Slight learning curve, but nothing 30mins can't fix.

The trophies are really fun and challenging, but not to hard to obtain if you are persistent and some sub-events are going to say to be continued. Also note that some of the sub-events are timed like locating the pendant and such...because if not you'll get to far and not be able to continue it. I haven't gotten very far, but I figured the game should get a decent review anyways...also no spoilers needed so if you got questions ask away. ^_^

If you've ever owned the MH3rd Portable on PSP, you'll love the HD update ported to the PS3. Digitally remastered, the graphics look crisp, fresh, and visually stimulating.

For those that've tried tri or unite, here are some new features that shouldn't be overlooked:

1. customization of felyne companions' equipment

2. guild hall has a felyne kitchen, now called a hot spring, can be upgraded by clearing hot spring quests (put in some serious work)

3. hunting fields in tri are included in this title

4. mountain stream new field

5. hunts are finally easier due to the fact that monster attacks are divided between player and companion

6. tons of new creatures

I've put in nearly 150 hours into this game and am still playing. It's in Japanese, but on PSP, there is an english patch to turn the entire game to english.

Don't import this game unless you have:

1. A good understanding of the Japanese language.

-or-

2. Play a lot (100 hours+) of Monster Hunter games.

I have spent over around 800 hours playing monster hunter games in the last 6 years, and still want to play more. This game is available on the psp, and if you have a "hacked" psp, fans have released a mostly translated version. Unfortunately, due to Sony and or/Capcom dropping the ball, we may never see an official English release of this title. My wife bought me this PS3 version for Christmas. This game is the same as the psp game with higher resolution graphics for an HDTV, you can even transfer your save data between your ps3 and psp. Another cool thing about it is that it comes with the Japanese version ofAdHocParty on the disc. This program has voice chat while you play! With this program on your ps3, you can play this game, and the psp version with anyone else using the Japanese AdHocParty. You can even play the psp version, and the ps3 version together online! There are specific rooms online for English players, so if your a big monster hunter fan, and the language barrier is stopping you from playing this game, I hope to chat with you soon!

*It seems your ps3 must be connected to the internet with a cable for AdHocParty to work. Because AdHocParty needs the wireless connection to be available for a psp to connect. This is ok because if you want to play this game online, your going to need really solid internet to play with people in Japan anyway.

I have been meaning to buy this game since its release, but decided to give it sometime and wait for an English release. It has been a little over a year since the PSP release, and there has not yet been any progress towards an english release. This PS3 version was released in August 25, 2011. About 8 months from today (March 15, 2012). I decided to wait a bit for an English Release of this PS3 version, but recently decided i was done waiting (I have been waiting for 16 months for an English release of the PSP version, but there has been no announcement of it being translated). So i decided to buy this game, even tho i have NO experience of the Japanese language. The only monster hunter game i have played is Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (PSP). With 0 japanese knowledge, about 100 hours of monster hunter play, and this being my FIRST game i have ever imported, I figured id be screwed if i bought this game. However, That was not the case. After playing the game for 10 minutes, i realized its basically a clone of MHFU, except it has more customization options for your Felynes, and a other improvements. The menus function the same way as MHFU, except for a few which had more or less option. The only trouble im having is figuring out the equipment information and what is needed to make it. Basically making equipment. After walking around town, i started a mission with my usual weapon (didn't even bother to go to the training school). Once i entered the map, just looking at the screen, the controls from MHFU came back to me, and i instantly started doing my favorite combos and such. The first monster i fought died easily. It felt like i was playing MHFU, but with different monsters, different maps, and a lot more Badass (1080P XD). This game supports 480P, 720P, 1080i, 1080P & 3D TV's..Wish I had one :(

Things to know...

1) This game supports online, but you MUST have a wired conection (Ethernet Cable) to play online. You also must make a Japanese PSN account to download the Ad Hoc Party utility (Free) needed to play online. You can play this game online on any account, but you must make a Japanese PSN account to download the utility. Up to 4 hunters may embark on a single mission together, and whatever you receive/complete/do Online saves to your Offline account (Also supports voice chat). For instruction on making a Japanese PSN account and downloading the Utility, I recommend you go to Youtube and search "How to play MHP3rd HD online"

2) If you need help in translating Menus/Materials/Items/Quests/Text, I would recommend you go to google and search "MHP3rd Translation" (Even tho the translations are for the PSP version, this game is a digitally remastered version for the PS3, so all the gameplay is the same as well as the Text)

3) In U.S.A, the X button is usually to Accept/Yes/Proceed, while the O button is to Cancel/No/Back. In Japan however, its backwards. X is to Cancel/No/Back, while O is to Accept/Yes/Proceed. This will be confusing at first -.but you'll get the hang of it soon.

My ratings...

Menu Ease = 8/10

Graphics = 10/10

Controls = 10/10

Online = 10/10

--------

OVERALL = 10/10 for a Must Have game ;)

This is the best visual novel to-date. Every event, every moment, everything about this rockets high. This is a driven emotion with many complex feelings that cannot be described into words. You can get the full translation from Amaterasu Translations and play the PC version the PC version is for 18+ and has some extremely disturbing scenes unlike its later versions like this one. The PS3 version has additional scenes and they've altered the disturbing scenes. Thou' I will mention this you do need to play Muv Luv EXTRA (Sumika + Meiya's routes to unlock UNLIMITED) and Muv Luv UNLIMITED (Meiya's route is highly recommended) in order to get the full grasp of the story before starting to play Muv Luv Alternative. I bought this out of whem and I never opened it. It's still in New condition. I played this a second time and went through a bit of different options nontheless, the story will not alter rather it will give you a different view of points. All characters are amazing All questions get answered, all loop holes get closed and seriously if you play Visual Novels, you cannot pass by this. It's bitter sweet and brutal in whatever ways you want to think.

This visual novel doesn't even start till 5-10 hours of gameplay and once you hit the Coup d'etat Arc ... oh god, I don't even know what to say. That's when it really, really begins and just when you think "holy crap, this is really good" it gets EVEN BETTER! It keeps going higher, and higher and higher, and just exceeds anyone's exceptions with so many plot twists and uncovering truths. My favorite characters are Kasumi and Meiya. I love these two characters. I respect Meiya's character a lot.

I hope for age makes another amazing game with 5pb. Looking forward to that day!

I have to admit ''I love my PS3'' but just adore old school games! In this cart you get the best of both worlds, old in new. I have not had a Sega Genesis in years but the games are still timeless. I still have a Sega Saturn, a Sega Dreamcast and I still play them a lot, but the S.G. was my 16 bit intro into gaming bliss. When men were men and we played for the bragging rights of the high score, not trying to just see scantily dressed C.G. girls (we had the real thing) or all the fake blood & gore we could muster out of a game. In Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection there are 40 Genesis games and 9 Sega Master System. (Sega's 8 bit console) Plus tons of game history, words from the game makers, and everything has a save option. Most of the S.G. games did not have that option. The coin-opp games from the arcades are in full force. As in Golden Ax, Alien Storm, Altered Beast, Super Thunder Blade, Comix Zone, and E-Swat. But lets talk Sonic. There is Sonic 1, 2, 3, & Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Spinball, (not the best but still fun) And Dr.Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. There is also of my favorites, Alex Kidd, Vectorman 1 & 2, Kid Chameleon, Golden Ax 2 & 3, Fantasy Star 1, 2, 3, & 4, and so much more. Yes we still love our new toys, but we should never forget our old ones. This cart is a must for us old fart gamers, or for kids trying to find their gaming roots. A great buy!

Sony PS3 Street Fighter IV FightPad

Today's Bonus:

I bought two of these for the PS3 (Ken & Ryu) so my girlfriend and I could play each other, but only one will work at a time. The controller itself works great! When I have both dongles in the PS3, it will not connect to both controllers. Only one seems to work at a time. I've e-mailed MadCatz twice with no response. This kinda bums me out that we can't play each other, but oh well.

Again, the controller itself works great with the game. It didn't work so well with Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix, but with SF4, it's perfect. Also, I brought my PS3 to a friends house and for whatever reason, it would not connect at all. I spent about an hour turning everything off and on and reversing the order and nothing. When I got home, it worked fine....go figure. And I had the correct dongle with me.

So if you just get one, it'll work super, but two for the PS3 is a waste of money.

If Madcatz would've spent more time with quality control, this gamepad would be an absolute must-buy for Street Fighter fans. The button layout is perfect, and the d-pad is far easier to use than the stock PS3 controller's pad. Unfortunately, after two weeks of use, the buttons started to produce either incorrect responses or no response at all. Kicks wouldn't work, and punches be the wrong strength (light would produce medium and so forth). The d-pad began to combine moves pressing up and forward would produce a jump AND a kick. While the price was appealing, the lack of quality is very disappointing.

+Excellent circular floating dpad; feels even mushier than the Saturn pad. I can do all moves with ease. I've heard of other people having problems with the diagonals but mine works perfectly. Easily the best dpad for fighters.

+Face buttons are big, flat, doesn't protrude much, and are effortless to press. This is helpful if you press the buttons palm-down like on an arcade stick.

+2 turbo speeds for each button. Useful for characters with moves where you rapidly mash the button.

+Has a switch to toggle the dpad so it can act as the left analog stick/right analog stick/dpad on a PS3 controller, so it will work for more than just fighting games.

+Wireless and doesn't lag. Uses 2 AA batteries. I suggest getting 4 rechargeable AA batteries and a recharger so you can still play while 2 of the batteries are charging.

+Feels very solid and the grip is comfortable. Weighs about the same as a DualShock3.

-As of this date, does not work with PS2 games (wireless receiver doesn't turn on when PS3 is in PS2 hardware mode). Hopefully Sony will release a firmware update to fix this. It does work with PS1 games.

-There was a minor problem I encountered on the first day of using it. The controller kept rapidly pressing the down direction on the dpad. I just paused the game, pressed the dpad a few times, and the problem went away. This only happened twice on the first day of using it, and there are no problems on the third day now.

This would be the best fighting controller I've ever used if it can work on PS2 games. I prefer it over my Saturn usb pad (PS3/PC) and the Nubytech Street Fighter 15th pad (PS2).

EDIT: After using it for 4 weeks now, it is still working and I still haven't had to change the batteries. I haven't encountered the dpad problem after the first day. Highly recommended, but don't pay those outrageous $80-100 prices.

I really like the design of this controller and it's button layout. It is perfect for Street Fighter 4, however I find the product somewhat cheap-feeling for the price, and after only a month, the D-pad has begun to show signs of wearing out, with diagonals not registering and your basic fireball, uppercut motions missing way too much of the time. Will I buy another? Probably not. $39.99 is too much for a product that wears out so quickly.

Want Sony PS3 Street Fighter IV FightPad Discount?

This fight pad is the worst thing i have ever spent money on period. The first one i bought was defective it didn't read any of my inputs. The pad read my inputs 5 seconds after i pressed the button. I recently returned it for a replacement pad, the replacement pad reads my inputs but sometimes it won't which is frustrating. I play Street fighter online a lot and i can't use this pad to play online because it will make you lose because it sometimes has a mind of it's own. I rather play with my PS3 dualshock controller which doesn't give me any problems. So please save your money and don't buy this garbage fight pad, invest your money on a PS3 controller or an arcade fightstick instead.

The PS3 is a great system. Easy to use, futuristic on-screen interface, quality sleek hardware, awesome graphics, lots of benefits. But should you get a PS3 or Xbox 360? And what about the Wii?

Note: I own all three devices, and I appreciate all of them. I don't have any bias to one system or the other, just my personal experience and opinion...

PS3============================================

What I like MOST about the PS3:

1) Future proof Blu-ray player (Sony updates the player over the Internet for free; it now supports 3D movies/TVs)

2) Clean, more futuristic on-screen interface (feels more mature then Xbox 360)

3) Better/Smoother/Faster graphics (in the 10+ games I own on a 60" 1080p HDTV)

4) Free online multiplayer gaming (no monthly/yearly fees like Xbox 360; which I hate about Xbox)

5) Watch your online netflix shows on PS3 for free (Xbox requires Xbox live account to use your netflix account; another thing I hate about Xbox)

6) Exterior: More futuristic, luxurious, mature "look". Looks more like a sleek Home Theater appliance. (Xbox 360 more oriented to youthful crowd; Xbox looks more like an 'entertainment' device)

7) Lighter, slimmer, smaller controller. Built-in longer lasting rechargeable battery. (the Xbox controller does not come with a standard rechargeable battery, and it feels heavier and more bloated then the PS3 controller).

8) Built-in wireless connectivity. (an option on the Xbox)

9) Built-in optical/toslink connectivity for home theatre audio connection. (an option on the Xbox)

10) I can use my (or any) wireless blue-tooth cell phone headset for voice/chat enabled games. (The Xbox cannot)

What I like LEAST about the PS3:

1) My first PS3 (the 'fat' one) had a disc drive failure after 13 months of ownership; 1 month beyond its warranty. The PS3 still works, I just cant use discs. That means I cant watch blu-ray discs on it and I cant play disc based games on it. I can still play games through the PlayStation store (demos, etc), I still can watch netflix on it, and I still can watch movies from my PCs over the network on it. The fact that my PS3 disc drive died after about 1 year of limited delicate usage really concerns me about the quality of the hardware and customer support/treatment. I paid over $400 for my first PS3, and I used it maybe twice a week. After searching the web about my problem, I found this was a rampant problem with the fat PS3. Did they fix this problem with the slim PS3? Time will tell; I sure hope so. I just wish Sony would have fixed my problem for free (as I feel it was shoddy hardware or poor engineering that resulted in this problem, not me).

2) Games (new and used) are generally more expensive then the Xbox 360.

3) I liked the glossy look of the first generation PS3. The new PS3 slim looks a little flimsier/cheaper. It is smaller though, and that's a plus.

4) The rechargeable battery in the PS3 controller is not swappable. That means if your controller dies mid-game, you have to plug it in to use it. (The Xbox controller has swappable batteries)

5) When I download a game (full or demo), I can't play it immediately. After the download (which could take over an hour), I have to install the game (which could take another 10-30+ minutes), at which time my PS3 is unusable until it completes. The Xbox downloads in the background and plays immediately without having to install the game. Also, if I turn off the PS3, the download stops (the Xbox finishes the download even when turned off).

Xbox 360============================================

What I like MOST about the Xbox 360:

1) More people have it. In other words, all my friends, family and coworkers have Xbox 360s. Which also means if I want to play online with them, I have to use my Xbox, which is also a con for me. (I'd rather use my PS3 because of the better graphics and lighter/smaller controller).

2) I can download games, updates and demos in the background, even with the Xbox turned off. So I can start a download and go to bed without leaving the box on all night. (The PS3 cant do this)

3) When I download a game (full or demo), I can play it immediately. On the PS3, you have to download it (which could take over an hour), then install it (which could take another 10-30+ minutes), at which time your PS3 is unusable until it completes.

4) My late generation Xbox elite has lasted longer then my first generation PS3 (surprisingly)

5) It doubles as a Media Center extender. I have a PC that records shows for me in Media Center (like a Tivo but no monthly fees). I can access these shows and watch live TV over the network via my Xbox. This is a VERY cool and under-talked about feature. And most people with a Windows PC can do this; look it up.

6) The console and games (new and used) are cheaper then the PS3.

What I like LEAST about the Xbox 360:

1) Still no blu-ray player. This is a major con compared to the PS3. It WILL play regular DVDs, however.

2) In my experience, graphics are a little lower quality then my PS3. In Grand Theft Auto IV, I can see farther and more objects at a time on my PS3. The PS3 has a faster frame rate, where the Xbox feels almost blurry. The colors are more crisp on the PS3, the Xbox is more washed out, like water colors. Some may not even notice this, I do.

3) No built-in wireless connectivity. You have to buy a very expensive adapter to have wireless connectivity.

4) No built-in optical/toslink connectivity for home theatre audio connection. You have to buy an adapter to do this.

5) No rechargeable battery. You have to buy a rechargeable battery and kit to do this.

6) Not a major deal, but the on-screen interface is more kid-feeling then the PS3. I'm an adult and the PS3 feels more like its targeted to adults then children/teenagers.

7) YOU HAVE TO PAY TO PLAY ONLINE. I don't understand this. It's ridiculous to me. It's way overpriced. I can't play online with my friends unless I buy a monthly or yearly Xbox live pass. I hate this about the Xbox. I HATE THIS. I already gave them hundreds of dollars in the console, games and accessories; stop asking me to pay to play. As you can see, this is a major con to me. I also cant watch my Netflix account without paying for an Xbox live account. Boo!

8) The Xbox has a pretty bad reliability record. I believe they have eliminated most of the issues that plagued the earlier consoles, however. My neighbor has replaced his Xbox 4 times; FOUR TIMES! I have not. He plays his every day all day though; I play once or twice a week for less then an hour.

Wii============================================

I bought the Wii after playing it at a friends house. I was blown away by the idea and experience of motion based controllers. We played golf, boxing, tennis, ping pong; it was an amazing experience for the first time.

After I had the Wii, I quickly lost interest.

Here's why:

1) Horrible graphics. I paid a lot of money to have a 60" High Definition full 1080p home theatre. The Wii graphics look like absolute kiddy crap on my TV. The Wii has no high def. Its like playing a first generation Nintendo NES on a HDTV. Its horrible, and for this 1 reason I can no longer enjoy my Wii. Nintendo is way behind the modern day high end graphics of today.

2) The motion controller novelty has worn off. Its fun on a few games, horrible on others. I don't know, the novelty of the Wii has just worn off for me; and several of my friends.

3) It just doesn't feel like a modern quality device. While I'm sure its reliable, it just feels like a child's toy; the exterior, the interface, the games, etc. Sorry, I guess I've just grown up.

Conclusion============================================

In conclusion, I would say the Wii is more suited to young children. The Xbox is a great device, and so is the PS3. I can live without my Wii; but I would have a hard time choosing between the Xbox and PS3. For that reason, I choose to have both. If Xbox made online multiplayer free (eliminated the Xbox live cost), and included a blu-ray player, I would choose the Xbox over a PS3 (even with the better graphics on the PS3). But for now, I say buy both. By the Xbox as a gaming device, and justify the PS3 as blu-ray player with benefits.

If your a parent shopping for a teenager and only want to buy 1 device, go for the Xbox 360. Chances are, most of your child's friends will already have one, and they can all play online.

If your an adult that demands the best and has little time to play games (like myself), get a PS3. Its sleek, its got better graphics, its wireless, and it has a blu-ray player.

I hope this review gives you some insight and help with your choice, and a little knowledge of all the systems from an experienced and unbiased owner.

Let me give a little bit of background before diving into a review. When the original NES came out, I was hooked. I didn't think anything could be better than Super Mario Bros. Then there was the Sega Genesis...and as I entered college, the original Playstation. Wow!

After college I settled down, got married, had children, and stopped playing games for a while. Just 2 years ago I picked up a wii "for the family" and have enjoyed it since. Mario Galaxy 2 looks great and is a great deal of fun to play...and there are other great games on the wii as well. For the record, I'd never played a PS2, PS3 or Xbox.

Don't get me wrong, the wii is great. There are a number of wii exclusives that I love. But I was still wanting something with some better graphics/games and thus began my research between xbox and ps3. Both are great systems! This was going to be harder than I thought. In the end, I felt like the game selection for the PS3 slightly outweighed that of the xbox for the family. The PS3 has LittleBigPlanet and Ratchet and Clank, as well as Uncharted/Metal Gear/etc. And while the xbox has some great exclusives as well, I was leaning toward the PS3.

When I saw that the PS3 slim increased the hard drive from 120gb to 160gb I finally bit the bullet. I was wanting to get a blu-ray player sometime so I figured I'd just get the ps3. Just set it up last night. Set-up was a breeze and the graphics, wow, they truly are stunning. As I said, the wii is great and I'll continue to play and enjoy wii-exclusive games, but compared to xbox/ps3 graphics, there really is no comparison. I'm really looking forward to NHL 11 and Gran Turismo 5 (as the wii is lacking in these types of games).

Overall, I'm thrilled with the PS3. I'm looking forward to getting my music and other media files loaded onto it and finally beginning the world of blu-ray movies and advanced gaming. While I do wish I could load files to it from a device formatted to something other than FAT, it's certainly not a deal-breaker. The PS3 works as it should, set-up is simple, has free online, great exclusive games, and so much more. Whether or not it's the right choice for you is up for you to decide. The Xbox is also a great system, but I'm happy with my final decision.

Note: Extras you may need:

Extra controller, PS3 blu-ray remote control, and an hdmi or set of component cables depending on your video capabilities.

Buy Sony Playstation 3 Slim 160GB Now

I just bought the PS3 slim a week before posting this review and I'm extremely happy with it. To be honest, I'm not a gamer and may never buy a game for the PS3, I bought it strictly for its streaming video and blu-ray playback capabilities, in my opinion it is the best.

My first blu-ray player was an early Panasonic 1.0 blu-ray player, it played blu-rays beautifully, when researching it they said it was almost as good as the PS3, at the time the PS3 was the gold standard. I didn't buy a PS3 then because of its price and its original bulk, it would not fit in well into my AV setup. Also, you needed a separate remote for blu-ray/DVD playback if you didn't want to use the controller, the PS3 is not IR capable. I then traded "up" to a Samsung blu-ray player because it offered streaming Netflix capability, I really enjoyed the streaming Netflix, but I noticed that my blu-ray disks didn't look as good as on my old Panasonic and DVD upscaling on the Samsung blu-ray was no where near as good as my old Panasonic, but I really wanted the Neftlix streaming service so I stuck with it.

Since my initial look at the PS3, a lot has changed, first the new slim model, it fits perfectly in my AV setup. Also, Netflix streaming finally came to the PS3, first via software on a disk, now it is totally integrated into the PS3 OS via a firmware update.

I primarily bought my Samsung blu-ray player for its Netflix streaming capability, but I was getting frustrated with the Netflix interface on the Samsung, you could not search or add movies to your Netflix queue directly from the player, plus loading titles from your queue took almost a minute to launch.

Several friends at work have had the PS3 from its beginning and they were always taunting me when new features arrived to the PS3, when they told me about the new Netflix features available on the PS3 I decided to take the plunge. The PS3 was the first platform to get 5.1 surround sound from Netflix streaming, and to date, the only platform to have full 1080p movies via streaming, plus I can search and add movies to my queue directly from the PS3. Moving through my queue on the PS3 is a breeze, on my Samsung, the interface displayed the movies from right to left and left to right. I currently have over 360 movies in my queue, it can take a long time to maneuver through this many titles going left to right or right to left. On the PS3, the titles are tiled 5 or 6 wide, you can move up, down, left or right, when you finally launch a title it is up and playing within a matter of seconds!

What about blu-ray playback on the PS3 slim? It is awesome (video and audio), as good or better than my old Panasonic player I loved so much! DVD up-scaling is also excellent. The thing that really sold me on the PS3 is Sony's commitment to continually improve it and keep it current. Firmware updates over the years have kept PS3 up to date in every respect. One of my co-workers bought the original PS3 the day it was released, it is still going strong 5 years later, actually better and has more features than when he bought it!

Last, but not least, the remote control issue. A few years ago I moved to using Harmony remotes to control all my AV equipment. I have a drawer in my coffee table that has 8 different remotes for all my various equipment, on top of my coffee table I have one Harmony remote that controls all of my equipment perfectly. The new PS3 is still not IR capable, but I bought the Harmony PS3 adapter, this is a bluetooth/IR device that accept commands from your Harmony remote to control the PS3, it took about 10 minutes to set up and works perfectly!

Oh yeah, I hear that the PS3 really does play games, maybe one day?

I recently purchased my first Play Station 3 last week on Saturday, February 12, 2011, and I have loved having it. I primarily purchased the PS3 for its DVD, Blu Ray, and Online Media capabilities like streaming movies from Netflix and Hulu Plus because I wanted an all-in-one device than can do pretty much everything I want, and the PS3 has lived up to my expectations, thus far. Here are the best and worst features that I have found about my PS3:

PROS:

1). NETFLIX CAPABILITIES The Netflix user interface is FANTASTIC! The Netflix application on my PS3 allows me to manually search for ALL streaming movies and TV shows, add movies/shows to my instant queue, browse for movies/shows by genre, watch movies/shows based on Netflix's suggestions for me, and rate the movies right from the PS3 itself. The only bad part about the Netflix app on my PS3 is that I cannot add DVDs to my DVD queue through it, so I still have to go onto the Netflix website via my computer and add DVDs to my DVD queue, but I am still glad to be able to search and browse for my all of my streaming movies on the PS3, so the DVD issue is not so bad. Overall, the Netflix application on my PS3 is so much better than Netflix on my TiVo box because Netflix on TiVo does not even allow searching, browsing or adding movies to my instant queue AT ALL I can only watch the movies in my instant queue on the TiVo box, so I will stick to watching movies and TV shows from Netflix on the PS3 from now on.

2). HULU PLUS CAPABILITIES I love Hulu Plus on this PS3, as its user interface also allows ALL of the same functions that Netflix does, and even more. Additionally, Hulu Plus allows me to view any TV movies or shows in my history, and play them. It's a shame that some other devices that have Hulu Plus don't even allow searching, browsing, or looking at the user's viewing history.

3). DVD, CD, & BLU RAY DISC PLAYBACK The playback of these discs is great, too. I love the fact that I can play DVDs, Blu Ray discs, and just regular CD's on the PS3. The playback and quality of Blu Ray discs on the PS3 is also visually stunning.

4). EASE OF SETUP Even though it took me over an hour to set up the PS3 and get everything running (including connecting to the machine the Internet, setting up my account on the PlayStation network, updating the PS3 with the new software, connecting to Netflix and Hulu Plus, etc) the set up flowed smoothly, and was very simple. Basically, I definitely did not need any assistance from customer support to set up the PS3 because the set up was easy and simple.

5). BUILT-IN WIFI This is a great feature because it has eliminated me from having to use an Ethernet cable to connect my PS3 to my router or having to buy an external adapter to connect to the router. The Wi-Fi connection has worked great for me, and the PS3 instantly connected to my wireless network once I entered in the Passcode to connect to the network. Also, I have NO lags or dropped connections when I play movies from Netflix and/or Hulu Plus. My internet connection on the PS3 seemingly works even faster than the internet connection to my TiVo box, as all of my movies from either Netflix or Hulu Plus just instantly begin playing, yet the movies take more time to play on the TiVo.

6). ONLINE MEDIA CONTENT The PS3 also allows me to watch YouTube, and surf the web, which are both great factors.

7). PLAYSTATION NETWORK The PlayStation Network is great, as it allows for many downloads and there are tons of free games and movie content that can be downloaded right from the PlayStation Network to my PS3.

CONS:

1). COST OF DEVICE The only real con that I have noticed about the PS3 is the high cost of $300.00 for the device itself, but it was well worth the price for me because I now have an all-in-one device that does practically everything that I want and need for it to do.

2). NO DVR CAPABILITIES Another con is that the PS3 isn't a DVR and it cannot record TV shows like a TiVo, Moxi, or cable DVR can do. I only wish that Play Station will add DVR features to their next generation of Play Stations that will come out sometime in the future. If Play Station will add DVR functions and capabilities to their PlayStation 4, then I will throw away my own TiVo DVR.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

I highly recommend the PS3 to any and everyone out there who may want an all-in-one device. Also, I recommend the Harmony One Remote and Harmony adapter for PS3 users who want to control their PS3 with just one remote instead of using the wireless controller. For excellent wireless networking, the NetGear N600 DualBand Gigabit router is great, too, as this is the same router that I currently use for my wireless network. Overall, I am definitely NOT disappointed with my PS3!

Want Sony Playstation 3 Slim 160GB Discount?

In this review I am going to cover the Play Station 3, the Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Wii. Hopefully by the end of this review you have a pretty good though on which console is the right one for you. Without further hesitation, here is the main review...

Play Station 3 (PS3) by Sony:

The sony PS3 has two prices. The first price being $250 (Retail) for the 160 GB version and the second being $300 for the 320 GB version. Now obviously if you have the extra $50 to spare go for the 320 GB Version as it is double the amount of storage as the other. Both are exactly the same except for the difference in memory

Now, when you first buy a PS3 it comes with the console, one wireless controller that works with bluetooth technology, the necessary cables, and a Free Play Station Network membership (PSN). An HDMI cable is NOT Included with the purchase, so if you are planning to connect it to a HDTV I would go on ahead and buy an HDMI cable as well to get the full experience of the PS3.

Now, Motion Gaming is available on all 3 systems; however, the only one that comes ready to motion game out of the box is the Nintendo Wii. The PS3 and the Xbox 360 require additional purchases in order to use motion gaming.

The PS3 and the Xbox are only available in black, while the Nintendo Wii has the option in between white & black; however, both the PS3 and Xbox look really nice in black.

Now the PS3 has a big advantage when it comes to what it can actually do. The PS3 can read Games, CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Ray Discs. Unlike the other two consoles, the PS3 definitely has an advantage here.

This version of the PS3, Ps3 Slim, is not backwards compatible with the PS2 games; however, it is compatible with most PS1 games. It would be great if it could read PS2 games, but unfortunately it can't.

The PS3 has a full 1080P Resolution! With an HDMI cable of course, so if you are thinking about getting a PS3 I wouldn't hesitate on getting an HDMI cable as well

So Who is the PS3 for ? It can be for almost anyone. Lots of teenagers enjoy the PS3 as it is free to play online games and Adults tend to go for the PS3 as well since it has a Blu-Ray Player unlike the other two. I own a PS3 System and I use mainly for Listening to Music, Netflix, and watching Blu-Ray movies. The games on the PS3 has some really nice graphics as does the Xbox 360.

Overall: I would rate the PS3 a perfect 5 out of 5 stars.

Xbox 360 by Microsoft:

The Xbox 360 is also available in two prices. The first being $200 for the 4GB model and the other being $300 for the 250 GB model. As you can see there is a major storage difference in between the PS3 and the Xbox. If memory is not that much of an issue for you then the Xbox might be the one for you.

When you first get the Xbox you get the console, one wireless controller, the standard definition cables, and a month Free Xbox LIVE Gold Membership. As with the PS3 you will have to buy an HDMI cable in order to get the full resolution display of the Xbox. As for the Gold membership... After your first month of a free membership you will be required to pay for additional online services like playing games online. A 12 month membership will cost around $50-$60. This is one of the main reasons as to why some people would prefer one of the other two consoles, but some people claim that the online experience is better on the Xbox.

The Xbox 360 can play games, CDs, and DVDs. It cannot play Blu-Ray discs like the PS3. All (3) consoles are capable of online streaming with services like Netflix.

On the Xbox 360 you can play kinect games, Xbox 360 games, and the original Xbox games. This is good as you can still play your old Xbox games on this console whenever you get the urge to do so.

Who is the Xbox 360 for ?

The Xbox 360 is for everyone. From kids who will enjoy playing games in 1080P Resolution and Kinect if you purcahse it. To Teenagers who will enjoy playing games online with their friends. To even Adults who want to play games once in a while or just simply stream content from Netflix.

I would rate this 4 stars out of 5.

Nintendo Wii by Nintendo:

The Nintendo Wii is available in one price for $149 with the Mario Kart Wii. Unlike the PS3 and the Xbox the Wii comes with a very low 512 megabytes of internal flash memory. This is expandable with an SD card. This is a negative on the Wii as you will have to purchase an SD card to get better memory on it.

When you open the Nintendo Wii box you will get the console, the Wii Mario Kart game, One Wii Remote Plus Controller, one Nunchuk controller, the sensor bar to play motion gaming, and the standard cables. The graphic quality on the Wii is a lot lower than the Xbox and the PS3. With a 480P Resolution graphics are no where comparable to the PS3 graphics or the Xbox Graphics.

Unlike the Xbox or the PS3 the Nintendo Wii comes ready to motion game right out of the box! Although it has a lower resolution display motion gaming is definitely a plus for the Wii.

The only thing the Nintendo Wii will read is games; however, you can add music onto an SD Card and then play music on the Wii as well. Movies and Tv Shows are also available on the Nintendo Wii if you have a Netflix Membership!

The Nintendo Wii can also Read your Game cube games! Bring back some classics whenever you want with the Wii!

Who is the Wii for ?

The Nintendo Wii is mostly for kids and Family Fun. I would recommend buying a PS3 or an Xbox if you are looking for something for your teenager. With most of the Wii's games being based on family fun and party games it is fun for a family night.

I would rate this 4 stars out of 5.

Overall: The Nintendo Wii is the least expensive out of the (3) consoles. It is aimed mainly for small kids & Family Fun. The Xbox 360 & the PS3 are aimed for everyone else. From Teenagers to even some Adults. There are many disputes on which is better in between these (2) consoles, but that is up to you guys!

I hope this review gave you some better knowledge and/or information as to which system is the right one for you!
