Sony PS3 Taking Gaming to a whole new level

by Magneto

Customers awaited the launch of Sony PS3 months before it was available. The five hardware models are available in twenty to one-hundred sixty GB models. The sleek design is only one of the reasons that consumers have been flocking to the stores to pick up this sleek piece of machinery.

With the integration of blue-ray technology, it has been seen as a viable alternative to a blu-ray DVD player.

Game play is brought to the next level with the interface which allows users to interact with each other, regardless of their location.

Within the first few days of sale, the system sold hundreds of thousands of units. Built in Wi-Fi and the flash media reader combined with the fact that online play is completely free are only some of the reasons for this popularity.

Although the online play is free, in comparison to other systems like the Xbox Live gold program it is not as advanced, maybe you really do get what you pay for?

To charge the controllers, a mini USB is included to charge the controllers while they are not in use. Although this saves on batteries, some gamers find this to be an inconvenience.

The average price of the systems range from $499.99 to $599.99 – although production costs were estimated to be much higher.
