The editors didn't like
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

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

A USB port on the back wouldve been nice
No infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes arent compatible

The PS3 truly is technologically superior to both the Xbox 360 and the Wii, providing stunning graphics that will impress the most cynical of gamers. Its also a pleasure to use, with an intuitive, friendly interface. But this wont be a must-have con...
With a 60GB hard drive supported by one of the best graphics processors ever put into a games console, the battle with the Xbox 360 and Wii for domination of the living room has begun. Although some, it seems, have other plans for their PS3... ...
Abstract: At first glance the new Super Slim version of the PlayStation 3 is all good news: it's notably smaller than the most recent Slim iteration of Sony 's long-running console, and its 500GB hard-disk is the largest yet offered as a standard fitment. Compare i...

A USB port on the back wouldve been nice; glossy black finish is a fingerprint magnet; runs hot and noisy; power guzzler.
The 80GB Sony PlayStation 3 is still the most expensive next-gen game console, but its swanky design and bevy of features make it great value even at S$799.

Pricey; first wave of games is somewhat anemic; doesnt upscale DVDs to HD resolution; no force feedback (rumble) support in controller; a USB port on the back wouldve been nice; glossy black finish is a fingerprint magnet; HDMI cable not included.
Sonys PlayStation 3 may be the most expensive next-gen game console, and its launch titles are not all that impressive, but its swanky design and bevy of features, including a Blu-ray drive, make it hard to resist--even at US$600.

Al igual que con el Xbox 360, el PlayStation 3 es un centro multimedia de alta definición para tu sala de estar. Por lo tanto, para sacarle el máximo provecho, necesitas un par de cosas más. Tu televisor debe ser HDTV, al menos 720p, y ojalá 1080p. Un s...
