Extremely pleased with the acquisition. I think that would make a fantastic New Year's present. I would suggest picking up Killzon and Fifa right off the get. The benefits: First and foremost, the console's design, ergonomics, engineering thought, and implementation are all top-notch. It has an attractive appearance and a comfortable weight and size (I'll remain silent about the "grandmother's video" from T-shirts:), and the Japanese have outdone themselves once again by fitting the bp inside the console. There is almost little noise coming from the control panel. Second, a stylish gamepad that, personally, fits more comfortably in my hands than the 360's analog sticks; also, there is a touch screen and a muva in the coffee. 3. Reasonable cost (I think the 18990r recommended price is fair for what you get). Fourth, the console can read DVDs and Blu-rays according to the latest firmware update (1.52), and mp3 playback is promised for a future update. I haven't even opened the pictures yet! The audio CD is also not playing. 5.The availability of a web browser. Free games with PlayStation Plus (not many, but some) 6. Against it: There is now a severe shortage of set-top boxes, but you know that this situation is only temporary. Although it's easy for everyone who wants to buy or has already bought to do so, the most important thing is to not be too lazy to check in with stores on a regular basis. The headset is nothing special; they could have done more with it. Third, the camera is not included (although the console is cheaper than that of the "video recorder"). Although it has a gorgeous aesthetic, the console is functionally limited because it can only accept conventional thin flash drives. 5. Expensive games, but that's how it's always been and always will be on consoles; hence, in my opinion, you should only buy exclusives and masterpieces of the gaming business, hand-picked games for multiplayer, on consoles. Sixth, it has a subscription fee if you want to play with others online. You can try it for free for 14 days after signing up.
