Sony PlayStation 3 40 GB Piano Black Console (NTSC - CECH-G01)

I love this system!!! The built in Wi-fi is great, the large standard hard drive saves money, free online community, and it just looks amazing! This system will do it all, multiplayer, browse the internet, download movies or songs, Play Blu-ray, and amazing graphics! The best thing about it is free online network, saves a BUNCH of money over time compared to Xbox 360!!! The only downsides of it is the system navigation is a little confusing at first but you get used to it. The worst thing about it is the tiny controller, they will do everything you want or need but the are just to small for my hands. Get a Xbox 360 controller and a Cronus adapter and it's perfect in every way!!!

Well, after a year of hearing my friends talk nonstop about how they were with *other kid with a PlayStation* on *multiplayer game* and they managed to do some awesome thing, I decided to buy one and see if it's all what it's cracked up to be. I went ahead and bought the cheapest I could find because all the sources I could find said it has the same processing power as the newest generation console. I don't care if it's fatter, it works just as well. The first game I bought was Battlefield 3 (and still my only game, I just bought it) and let me say, I am blown away at the graphic capabilities that this thing can pump out. At first, I was disappointed that my TV doesn't have an HDMI port, but it's 1080p resolution which I didn't understand, but to my surprise, the YPbPr cord can output a crisp 1080p signal! I was astounded. But that's not relevant to the review. As for the pros and cons, I'd have to say that it's a great way to let loose and strap C4 to a jet and watch it rain fire. Cons, the way you control the main interface is a bit confusing but I'm sure it will come to me soon. Compared to the Wii, it blows it away. The Wii is a kids toy and it can't even output HD which is VERY disappointing. The XBOX360 requires you to pay for the internet which is a complete joke in my eyes. That's when I knew the PS3 was the way to go.

The PS3 is, quite possibly, the biggest console gaming system ever. At twice the size—and price—of its predecessor, the PS3 makes Sony's lofty ambitions pretty clear: This is much more than a gaming system. Sure, playing games is still the primary function—and drifting around corners in Ridge Racer 7 at 1080p is heart-stopping—but this system is clearly designed to do more than that. From replacing your DVD player to enabling you to view pictures, play music, and watch YouTube videos on your TV easily, this is a set top box for the next generation.

I am sure the product is wonderful but our child has no idea he is getting it so it is still in the box hidden from him, my husband has done a lot of research so I am sure all will be just fine-it will be a surprise Christmas present-it came quickly and well boxed so I am sure if it looks like the picture we will be in good shape!!!
