The Good And The Bad Of PS3

Sony PS3 (playstation 3) just became available to an extremely small number of fans recently. Many of them camped night and day to be some of the first people in the line to get a PS3. However, is the PS3 worth it? Why or Why not? That’s the big question to be asked. No doubt that PS3 is the one of the most developed next-generation gaming consoles. But there are some issues to consider as well. Here are the top 5 reasons to get the PS3 followed by the top 5 reasons to avoid it:

It’s the most advanced and packed with features - Sure, that’s what everyone wants to be able to boast about today. Being able to own the “most advanced” of something. However, the PS3 has good reasons to boast of being that. It features high-definition graphics, and some of the most powerful features around such as the blu-ray disc reader and more.

The Sixaxis controllers - the motion sensitive Sixaxis controllers of the PS3 make it a great gaming console and introduce a new level of connection between the player’s movements and what’s happening on the screen.

Free head to head online play - one of the best features of being able to use the PS3 is the free online play.

The design - Sleek and gorgeous, the PS3 is easily one of the most compact players around for what it packs within itself.

Backwards compatibility - You can use the PS3 to play even PS2 and PS1 games. This backwards compatibility is a great addition to already formidable repertoire of features that the PS3 packs.

On the flip side, here are some important things to consider before you go ahead and get the PS3:

The price - Buying something is all about seeing whether you’re getting the most for your money. With the PS3 being priced at $600 (or $500) without the extra HDTV cable and other extras, it is a big price to pay for just being able to play games.
