Review on Sony PS3 160GB Console by Aashiva Pal ᠌

In general, this is a good game console with a lot of features. The only thing that can repel a buyer is not quite an adequate price. However, if you are not yet familiar with the world of consoles, then it is better to start with the PS3. I recommend to everyone to buy! Some pros: 1. Of course - games. There are many exclusives on PS3 such as KillZone, Uncharted and Gran Turismo. 2. Good picture quality, but it is desirable to have at least an HD Ready TV. Full HD is not required, 90% of games are upscaled to 1080p anyway. 3. Small size, matte finish (finally!) Lightweight. 4. Can be used as an inexpensive Blue-Ray player. This kills 2 birds with one stone - you can play games for your child and watch a movie with the whole family. 5. It has finally been hacked for good (thanks to GeoHot), so it's not necessary to spend money on games. Although I personally strongly recommend buying a license, because. without online (banned for firmware in PSN) it's not interesting to play. And it is good free, unlike xbl (XBOX Live). Different cons: 1. Price. The PS3 is already quite old, and its price is a little high, which puts it at a disadvantage compared to its competitor (Xbox 360). 2. Oddly enough, the temperature during operation. In addition to the PS3, I also have an xbox 360 Elite with a Jasper board, and it almost does not heat up during operation (in any case, the case is cold and the air is barely warm from the inside). At the same time, the PS3 Slim, which seems to have a smaller manufacturing process and should heat up less, heats up an order of magnitude stronger: the air around it is warm, and the back of the case is hot (!). And this is a slim model! 3. Relatively uncomfortable gamepad. It is more suitable for women's or children's hands, large men will be more comfortable with the xbox 360 gamepad, it follows the shape of the hand and has a large size. It's time for Sony to think about a new design of gamepads.
