Review on Sony PS3 160GB Console by Agata Olszewska ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

I must say right away that I am an adherent of the PC. I wrote my review only for those who, like me, thought about experimenting with buying a set-top box. The reason is simple - all the games released in recent years on the PC are ports from the console. It got me wildly and I went to the store. At first I was happy as a child. THING! True, because of the ingenious invention - the HDCP protocol, I also had to change the monitor. Well, okay, it was already old anyway. 2 weeks have passed . The euphoria from the purchase began to go away. Were passed God War 3 and Castlevania Lord of Shadows (which copies all the ideas of the first). Tried demo of Crysis 2. Joystick control in FPS killed me. I came to the conclusion that there is no better controller than "mouse + keyboard", there was not and never will be. People who have spent 1000 hours for Q1, Q2, etc. will understand me. It's impossible to get used to it. What is left in the bottom line - endless God of War clones and primitive shooters with creepy controls. Not enough for that kind of money. As for the graphics, there is generally darkness. I feel like I'm back in the 90s. Pixels the size of a walnut. There is no anti-aliasing or anisotropy. As a result, what is happening on the screen just starts to vomit. Sat, thought it all over and sold PS to hell. I don't regret a second. Advice to all PCs - Don't repeat my mistakes. PKshnik consoler is not a friend :)))

Pros
  • Manufacturing quality. Operating system. A sea of ​​accessories. PS Move. Blue Ray drive. Great exclusives. Free PSN. Availability of demo versions of games. Almost silent. Doesn't heat up. Possibility of vertical installation. Small multimedia center.
Cons
  • There is no normal audio output. Cannot connect to regular DVI, only DVI-D or HDMI. It is not possible to charge the controller when the set-top box is turned off. Very noticeable restrictions on WiFi speed (7 Mbps / 1 Mbps).
