Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Immerse into Intense Combat with PlayStation 3 160GB Call of Duty: Black Ops Bundle by Isaac Maze

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Revain was a good price

Bought for my son, this is the first thin model in our house. Nice stylish design, very quiet. Everyone loves the included game, and it was nice to have a code for the First Strike deck as well. Although the hard drive capacity is listed as 160GB on initial setup, the system says 140GB is free out of 150GB total space (no actual Black Ops game installed, only playable from Blu-ray). The included bonus card package from the Playstation Store weighs around 1.7 GB. If you don't have a PlayStation account, you can easily create one and it's free. From there, just enter the code and you will be immediately taken to download the map pack. After downloading you install the map pack, I haven't checked how much disk space it actually takes. As with the classic PS3, Wi-Fi was easy to set up (same XMB as before) and had a great signal. Reception is better than the Xbox Wi-Fi that sits on the shelf above. Revains' price was obvious, but the current offerings aren't that great. This game will still drop in price later this year. A real button with latches for power and disc eject replaced the touch buttons on the classic (oddly, it's the opposite on the Xbox). I'm a Sony guy but for an online-only experience I prefer Xbox Live as it's easier for me to access friends and stuff online while gaming. In terms of online play, both play equally well. Offline game, this is also a toss-up. I like the feel of the Xbox controllers more, but the Dual Shocks are built to last and have more accuracy in my opinion. This and the Dual Shocks come with internal rechargeable batteries, at an extra cost if you want that feature on Xbox. We both have systems, both great systems, each with their own merits, but at the same time there are a lot of similarities.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
