    • Pros: Stunning 1080p games. Best Blu-ray player yet. Free online gaming.
    • Cons: No hi-def upscaling for old DVDs and games. Controllers don't have force feedback.
    • Comments:
      It's here. At last. How can the PS3 possibly live up to our ridiculously high expectations? By being the best games console and media hub ever... ...

      by Dan Costa
    • Pros: Terrific gaming performance. Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. Free networked gaming. Integrates a high-quality Blu-ray player. Supports Blu-ray Profile 2.0.
    • Cons: Costs more than competing consoles. Sony has removed memory card slots. Online features lag behind Microsoft's Xbox LIVE. No dedicated Blu-ray remote.
    • Comments:
      It's been two years since Sony launched the PlayStation 3, and although the box itself looks the same today, a lot has changed. The price has dropped; developers have released dozens of cool new titles; and Blu-ray has triumphed as the high-definition vid...

    • Product Rating: 4.4 star(s) Sony PlayStation 3 (60GB): impressive media centre
      by David Carnoy

    • Cons: Pricey; first batch of games is unimpressive; doesn't upscale DVDs to hi-def resolution; no force feedback (rumble) support in controller; a USB port on the back would've been nice; no infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes aren't compatible;

    • Product Rating: 4 star(s) Sony PlayStation 3
      by Online Shopper
    • Pros: Stylish, Produces great images, The cheapest Blu-ray player around
    • Cons: No supplied remote, Choice of games needs to improve
    • Comments:
      Priced at £425, the PlayStation 3 has the dubious honour of being the most expensive games machine around. However, calling this glossy black box a games console is doing it a disservice...

    • Cons: Games lineup is improving, but still lacks killer app; HDMI cable not included; some PS2 games not supported
    • Comments:
      Still the best value Blu-ray player on the market, the PlayStation has had a hard-drive upgrade to 80GB -- plenty of space to store downloaded games, demos and media. With rapidly improving online services and exclusive games line-up, the PS3 is better th...

    • Pros: Expandable hard drive, Excellent Blu-ray playback quality
    • Cons: More expensive than its rivals, Hi-def games performance
    • Comments:
