After 11 months October 2, 2008
Tention (UK)
I have had my PS3 60gb for nearly a year, but two weeks ago it froze on me me whilst playing COD4 online, i left it for a couple of weeks to sort it self out/i was busy only to find the problem was worse.
i could not play blu-rays and GRAW 2 did not load GRAW 2.
I contacted Sony, they asked me to reformat the drive and if that did not work contact them after.
So 3hrs 20 mins of waiting for the drive to format i tried to play a game it was still freezing.
Sony sent out a refurbished 60gb console to myself and this works fine.
i decided to buy a couple of extra's in the mean time these include play tv, and a 320gb hard drive. (which was shrunk down to 265gb after format)
initially when i bought my PS3 there was not that many games to choose from but now there are loads of great games with line up for 4th quater looking even better i would recormend a PS3 to anyone but after my experience of mine breaking down i am not to sure if i would recormend a used one, as if this breaks down out of warranty i dont know how much cost would be incurred.
in HD the games look great, blu-ray dvds are fantastic but you do have to play around with your TV setting to get the most out of it, i also have a Wii but i have not played it since i bought the ps3, so if you are thinking of buying a PS3 go for it you will not regret it.
 ps3 review September 15, 2008

I have spent many hours on both the xbox 360 and the ps3 and while the ps3 is much more expensive than the xbox the ps3 also has the least games and in my opinion the games that it has are of a lower quality than the xbox. i have compared many games, call of duty 3 / 4. fifa, tiger woods and many more. the ps3 seems to have a lot of missing items from these games that the xbox includes for some reason. While the comment that the xbox only uses a 8 gig dual layer dvd and isnt as good for games as blu ray is complete rubbish as the xbox uses advanced compression for the data in a similar way to the pc. The controller on the ps3 does not include dual shock and feels very light weight compared to the xbox and ps2. The overall good point od the ps3 is wireless network included and good build quality but the i have seen a lot dvd read errors on the ps3 of late. so my opinion is that they both have strong points and weaknesses.

is the 60gb version of the PS3 the only model to be backwards compatible with PSone and PS2 games?

ive had this consle for about a year now and to begin with i loved it then my first ps3 the 60gb version broke due to an overheat thanks to cod4 so called sony i was out of warranty got it replaced now i have my new one or should i say wont have it for very much longer.The problem is the UPnP just wont work ive tried everythin then i find out its a big problem with newer playstations this pissed me of considerably i couldnt see weather any of my freinds were on or not because it would sign into it then nothin would show none as onlne then just kick me off after 8 weeks with this problem thats it ive had enough with this consle xbox here i come my warning to everybody out there is do your reaserch first before buying e.g. look at the consles record go round a m8s house and play his or whatever but dont beileve what sony or microsoft tell you about there consle make your own decison or do like me and get really annoyed with a consle do your reaserch then and move to the other consle:)
 mmm i wouldnt buy it again! August 4, 2008

Thought i would buy a ps3 as everyone else seems to own a xbox360. That was my first mistake! pads are qwerky and all the games i have bought for my console have bored me zzzzzzzzz. need more selection with better download content. the only positive point i think i can make is the console looks nice =]
