  • Terrible online store Slow
  • Unintuitive browser No background downloading Games continue to play even if you eject the disc
  • You have to manually restart the UI via the controller Messy UI HD scaler doesnt work right Price is high for a video game con...
  • 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
  • The launch titles werent great for the PS3 but this fall you have Assassins Cre...
  • No flash media reader
  • Cant play PS2 games
  • Doesnt include rumble controller
  • A USB port on the back wouldve been nice

  • It's a real shame that Sony has managed to mess up the European launch of the PlayStation 3 so badly. We're getting the console late, we're paying through the nose for it and we're not even getting the same hardware as Japan and America – with that in min...

  • Abstract:  I am not a gamer. Really. Oh, I admit I bought a Dell XPS with lots of RAM so I could play Half Life. But a real gamer would have gotten an Alienware. I’m a piker. One reason I’ve never gotten too deeply into the whole thing is a fear that I’ll disapp...
