Sony has given the PlayStation 3 its second makeover since the game system first debuted in 2006. This new version is smaller than the "Slim" update from 2009 and sports an even bigger hard drive, offering 250GB and 500GB versions that put the original 20...
Smaller size. Larger hard drive.
Overall, feels slightly flimsier than the previous PlayStation 3. Sliding-door optical drive doesn't feel sturdy, and it feels like a step backward...

One of the major advantages we write about in our PS3 vs XBOX 360 coverage that the Playstation 3 has over the XBOX 360 is that you can install just about any standard 2.5″ SATA hard drive into it. This means you can either buy a smaller capacity console...

Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3) has been covered in the press ad nauseum, and we're guilty, too. But no Blu-ray player guide would be complete without this iconic product, which is widely considered to be one of the best Blu-ray players on the market, despi...
The PS3 has excellent picture quality, comparable to and sometimes better than that of standalone players, Sony's PS3 is an unbelievable bargain, considering you get a gaming console, media hub and Bluray player all in one box for less than $400, The unit is proving to be somewhat futureproof, thanks to an Ethernet port and insightful firmware upgrades from a motivated Sony, which wants to de...
The included remote is cumbersome and it is sometimes hard to find the appropriate buttons, especially for the nongamer, While the audio performance is pretty strong, the PS3 doesn't have the cult following that the PS2 has developed among audiophiles. It is altogether possible that the reason why the audiophiles like the PS2 is because it isn't the newest thing (they always like the old stuff...
With a recent retail price drop and significant firmware upgrades to make the PS3 even more accessible and flexible, the player is a true bargain, offering a lot for the money. You get a gaming console, a Blu-ray player and more. You can't go wrong wit...
