About PS3 Consoles and PS3 Games
With so many choices with video gaming systems available today it can be hard to make just one choice. For this reason I decided to lay out a few reasons why the PS3, developed by Sony is a great, if not the best choice.
Blu-Ray Player
This is one utterly fantastic feature of the PS3. If you are a movie lover who is looking for a gaming console then you simply cannot go past the PS3 and its Blu-ray drive. Blu-ray technology is absolutely destroying HD-DVD and is the future of movies and other recorded footage.
Blu-ray movies are of a much higher quality than the standard DVD movie with absolutely crystal clear visuals and excellent audio. A Blu-ray drive comes standard with every PS3 gaming console and if you've got a surround sound setup then you can really enjoy your time with some fantastic movie watching.
Connectivity
The sheer simplicity of getting your PS3 online is absolutely fantastic. The PS3 is Internet ready right out of the box and many homes these days already have an Internet connection coupled with some form of wireless router. Getting your PS3 online is a simple case of choosing the correct on-screen options. In the case where you are using a wired router then a simple Ethernet cable will sort out your problems.
Now here is the great thing about the PS3 and the Internet. Once you're online there are absolutely no fees to worry about. The PS3 also comes with a great built-in Internet browser so when it comes to gaming consoles and the Internet, the PS3 is the king of them all.
Controller Design
If you have ever used one of the earlier PlayStation models then the controller design of the PS3 will sit right at home with you. This is one of my favourite things about the original PlayStation and its successors. From the original PlayStation right through to the current PS3 the control design has remained the same with its easy-to-use set up and configuration.
With the Dual Shock 3 wireless controller available for the PS3 you can feel every little nudge, punch and explosion right in the palm of your hand for hours on end.
The PlayStation Brand
Quite simply the PlayStation brand is one of the most recognised names in modern gaming. With the PS3 being a part of Sony's best-known names you can be assured that they are not going to turn their back on you and your PS3 and their support will always be there. This is great to know when you're shelling out such a large sum of money to purchase a PS3 console.
These are a few of the reasons why the PS3 is at the top of the gaming industry. Although the Xbox 360 is a strong rival to the PS3 is also a far different machine. Again I would like to draw attention back to the Blu-ray player and the free online services provided by the PS3. No other gaming system on the market today offers anything that even comes close to competing with this.
Although the PS3 can set you back a pretty penny, if you're serious about your gaming experience then it is totally worth it. Not to mention that the PS3 also provides you with a DVD and Blu-ray player that will play almost any mainstream media type on the market. Meanwhile the PS3 is also backwards compatible and you can play all your old favourites from the PS2.
