As DVD playback made the PlayStation 2 more than just a game machine, hefty multi-media features make the Sony PlayStation 3 an even more versatile home entertainment machine. Features such as video chat, Internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video will likely make it the central component of your media set-up. Still, it is first and foremost a game console--a powerful one at that. Now you can own this powerful console and start playing the most anticipated game of the year, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, right out of the box!

Under the Hood of the PS3
The PS3 features IBM's "Cell" processor and a co-developed Nvidia graphics processor that makes the system able to perform two trillion calculations per second. That's approximately 320 times more calculations per second than the PS2. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, it also boasts an HDMI port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TV and projectors. The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience.

Playstation 3 Features
  • Blu-Ray is the New Way
    Sony's PlayStation 3 games are encoded onto the Blu-Ray disc media format, which can hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This increase in capacity--combined with the awesome power of its processor and graphics card--promises mind-blowing games once developers have learned how to fully harness the new console's power. The PS3 will also support CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. In addition, PlayStation 3 system software update version 2.20 and up includes BD Live support. With this you can now play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE) and you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format so that you can obtain additional features. Features that are available vary depending on the software in use.

  • The Dualshock 3 Rumble Wireless Controller
    The Dualshock 3 Rumble wireless controller for the PlayStation 3 system provides the most intuitive game play experience with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive SIXAXIS motion sensing technology. Each hit, crash and explosion is more realistic when the user feels the rumble right in the palm of their hand. It can even detect natural movements for real-time and high precision interactive play, acting as a natural extension of the user’s body. Dualshock 3 wireless controller utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless game play and the controller’s USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller through the PlayStation 3 system at anytime.
  • Plays All PlayStation Games
    The PlayStation 3 will be backward compatible with PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games, which means you'll be able to play all your favorite games without keeping all the old systems. The console will have slots for Memory Stick Duo, an SD slot and a Compact Flash memory slot. It comes with a pre-installed hard disc drive, which allows you to save games as well as download content from the Internet.
  • Included in this bundle Metal Gear Solid 4!
    Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, is a next-gen experience complete with top-of-the-line graphics and surround sound designed for the Sony PlayStation 3. Featuring the most revealing display of Kojima Production's premier title, MSG4 details the world where Snake must under go his final mission. In a world overrun by private military companies (PMCs), wars are no longer fought over nations or ideologies. Instead, the wars of the future are micro-managed by overarching PMCs, right down to the bullet. New gadgets and abilities fuel Snake's journey deep into the enemy domains of the Middle East, South America, and beyond. New gear includes "Metal Gear Mk. II," the ultimate reconnaissance tool, and "Solid Eye," which gives Snake real-time information on enemies and his surroundings. Joined by a familiar cast of characters, Snake must once again return to the battlefield to confront his lifelong rival, Liquid Ocelot, who is manipulating the world's wars from the one world where soldiers will always have a place. But Liquid Ocelot is not the only one who will be able to manipulate the world's wars--Snake can destabilize opposing forces by working behind the scenes, supporting the local militia as they fight PMCs, creating a smokescreen that allows Snake to move freely within the war-zone.
  • Online
    Sony has stated that the PS3 will have similar online connectivity and services as the next generation of Xbox Live. Calling it "an always on, always connected device," SCEI's chief technical officer Masa Chatani said the PS3 would be constantly in touch with a "PlayStation World" network "fundamentally based on community, communication commerce, and content." Technically, the infrastructure is there to make that connection. The PS3 supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T Ethernet, as well as IEEE 802.11 b/g wireless networking protocols.

3 out of 5 stars PS3 and great Sony support   September 6, 2008
PS3 is everything as advertised and more, Sony's customer service is the best I've ever called. Got a live person very quickly, they walked me through set up with the STR 720 receiver I bought to drive the audio/video, incredible movie experience on my plasma 1080p. Haven't played the game, plan to sell it.


5 out of 5 stars Playstation 3 80GB Metal Gear Solid 4 Pack, Video Gaming Perfected   September 6, 2008
Since ordering this bundle I have yet to find another video game title with as much action and emotion, with as much realism as MGS 4. The voice acting and animation is very convincing - the most convincing, in fact. Environments are spectacularly detailed from grassy trails to snowy hills. Truly, the Playstation 3's processing power is breathtaking. This bundle even comes with the SIXAXIS DUALSHOCK for extreme realism. (Whether you want to tack on an intercooler is up to you. It will keep it cool on the inside and running smoothly for hours. Nyko is about to release a second version of its ill-fated predecessor.)

Blu-Ray movies and games, 1080P maximum resolution. Note that you will have you buy an HDMI cable SEPARATELY! That was a bit of a pain but well worth it. Don't get ripped off - there are some great deals on HDMI cables on amazon.com. Don't pay $70+ when you can pay -$20 for the same cable. Just make sure you manually configure your HDMI connection under display settings to set the PS3 to your screen's maximum resolution. Warning: some games do in fact look real, as though they will suck you in. Others, well, just be careful to read as many reviews as possible, and look closely at the screen-shots on the web. High polygon count, high-definition textures and 3D shaders is what it's all about.

I want to take a moment to recommend a few games for the PS3 that I found quite enjoyable. Drake's Fortune is a must, with tremendous replay value. Ratchet and Clank is highly addictive and progressive in terms of pushing the visual boundaries. Folklore is pure realistic eye-candy wrapped in an enchanting storyline. Silent Hill 5 and Bioshock for PS3 are coming very soon, and I look forward to their graceful debuts on the console. I mention all of these titles because they, along with many others, push the PS3's processing power further than previously thought possible, and with the highest resolution available. Best thrills for your new multimedia monster. Will last for the gaming industry's ground-breaking years to come.



5 out of 5 stars Sony is on its way back to the top with the PS3   September 5, 2008
The blu ray player alone is worth the price, but the stunning gaming graphics and online features as well as the new dualshock controllers certainly made this purchase a no brainer. Madden 09 is awesome, and the shooter games like Resistance Fall of Man and MGS 4 make this system a must have. The Xbox 360 is a solid system and has been on the market longer, but Sony will soon recapture the gaming world with this. I am simply amazed.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent buy even if you don't play games.   September 5, 2008
I bought the PS3 because I'm a gamer. I love videogames since I was 9. But the main reason I purchased the PS3 is because of the Blu-Ray capability. If you own an HD TV or projector just like me, you'll be amazed at the quality the BR standard brings to your home theater experience.

Look at it as a Blu-Ray player that also gives you the opportunity to play the best games available in the videogame industry as of now. It's a two in one bargain.



5 out of 5 stars Great console   September 5, 2008
This is a great bundle (if you can still find one out there). If you've read the other reviews and browse a little you'll notice that Sony released a newer 80 GB console, not in a bundle, and with its own pros and cons. They've even announced the 160 GB console, still don't know the price and the specifications. But as far as I'm concerned this is a very good deal because you get MGS4 and backward compatibility with PS2 games for the extra 100 bucks, which you won't get with the newest one.
Anyhow, whatever PS3 you choose to buy is an excellent choice, this is the best console for both playing and Hi-Def movies.
