Remote costs extra
Image quality falls flat
The PS3 lacks a wireless networking adapter
Extended battery pack and builtin microphone.
Expensive
Costs more than competing consoles. Sony has removed memory card slots. Online features lag behind Microsofts Xbox LIVE. No dedicated Blu-ray remote.
Overall
Feels slightly flimsier than the previous PlayStation 3. Sliding-door optical drive doesn't feel sturdy
And it feels like a step backward
Expensive. HDMI cable sold separately. No more vibrating controller. Hard to find on store shelves.
Only two USB ports instead of four
Backward compatibility is limited to PS1 games
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
Power hungry
HDMI set up is frustrating
No DualShock feature in controller
Ole is better". Well first off all the consoles are great in different ways. However
If you are talking about performance and graphic wise the PS3 comes out on top. Yes

A USB port on the back wouldve been nice; no infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes arent compatible; glossy black finish is a fingerprint magnet; online gaming, media, and commerce options not nearly as developed as Xbox Live.
A handful of notable upgrades from the entry-level model, the 80GB PS3 is superb Blu-ray player and high-definition game console.

While Sony has cut a few corners to get its entry-level PlayStation 3 below $400, its still a great game console and Blu-ray player for the money--so long as you can live without backward compatibility for PS2 games.
Power hungry, HDMI set up is frustrating, no DualShock feature in controller
Viewed solely as a games console, the PS3 looks poor value for money despite the price NOT ALLOWEDping significantly since its launch. But when its network capabilities are considered, along with the 60GB hard disk (incidentally an 80GB version is rumo...

Overall, I was impressed with the performance of the PlayStation 3. Its the first videogame system Ive purchased since buying a ColecoVision console in 1981 (OK, actually my parents bought that one). And although PS3 game titles look impressive, Im ...
