The console is great, and most of the games are average, but I wish there were more titles that were specific to the device. The graphics in games have reached this point. Regarding the drawbacks in further depth, the most significant one is the inability to download games via the PlayStation Network. The solution to this issue is to use a cable to connect the console to the router (which may be a wireless router, for example), and then to put the console into the sleep mode. (There is no point in trying to connect the Internet wire directly from the provider to the console. If your internet connection is as fast as 25 megabits per second, it will take you between four and six hours to download the game, since it weights forty gigabytes. The second issue is the rapid discharge of the battery, which only lasts for five to six hours of gameplay. Additionally, the cord that comes with the kit is quite short, so you will need to sit close to the console in order to participate in the game. Myths include the following: 1) Expensive games. If you buy them on discs from the store, they will cost you a pretty penny. You can save money by purchasing used video games from specialty businesses in your city. These stores will also buy your games and give you store credit in exchange. The second approach to cut costs is to buy games through the PlayStation Network pool with a friend (instructions on how to do this can be found in many articles on the internet); after you've done this, you'll be able to play online multiplayer with your friend at the same time, and any trophies you win will be shared between the two of you. I am now engaging in this activity. The third alternative is to acquire a subscription to PlayStation Plus (I will write more specifically about this option in the future). If you have this subscription, once a month, they will give you many free games, in addition to good discounts on other titles. 2) The second fallacy is the idea that they will force us to sign up for a PS PLUS subscription. The subscription that I purchased for $700 for three months was profitable for me within a few minutes of making the transaction. I paid $1100 for Infamous instead of $1700, $850 for Killzone instead of $1800, and $800 for UFC rather than $3000. They gave Injustice away for free back in December; at the moment, it costs 2,500 dollars. Also, keep in mind that I split the cost of purchasing all of the games for the night on two different platforms with a friend. If you do the math, you'll see that the price of 27,000 is significantly too low given the current state of the economy. If you can hold out until the price reaches 21,000 and then buy it, you won't be sorry.
