Since its release the Sony PS3 has been the least pur­chased game con­sole on the mar­ket. Why? Because it was so tech­no­log­i­cally advanced that the price of it was super high. At its release back in novem­ber of 2006, the PS3 sold for $600.00 dol­lars. This $600.00 dol­lar machine gave you a game con­sole and a Blu-Ray player in one. Blu-Ray play­ers alone at the time were sell­ing for approx­i­mately $500.00. You do the math.  Three years later, the price is now at $300.00 dol­lars, and the Sony PS3 is at its prime.

Tech­nol­ogy

The Sony PlayStation3 con­tains a cell proces­sor. What’s a cell proces­sor? Well, put it this way; The US Army pur­chased hun­dreds of Sony’s PlayStation3 to uti­lize its cell proces­sor tech­nol­ogy. Who cares about what the cell proces­sor is or does. The freak­ing US Army uses it, so you know it must do some­thing good. PlaySta­tion 3 game devel­op­ers have said that they haven’t even scratched the sur­face of the poten­tial of this technology.

Blu-Ray

What does Blu-ray mean to you? Well, with Blu-ray, devel­op­ers can make games five times big­ger than that of the Xbox 360. Blu-ray pro­vides devel­op­ers with a whop­ping 50GB of stor­age on a sin­gle CD. Just imag­ine a Grand Theft Auto game with a map that’s five times big­ger. Makes you want to cry, doesn’t it.

Gam­ing

With the cell proces­sor and Blu-ray, the PlayStation3 can play some of the most photo-realistic games. As time pro­gresses, we will begin to see games that the Xbox 360 can only dream of play­ing. But of course, the Xbox 360 has a much big­ger game library than the PS3. Well, that’s what hap­pens when a con­sole is released an entire year before the other.

Free Online

Unlike the Microsoft Xbox 360 which charges its users just to play their games online, the PlayStation3 has com­pletely free online gam­ing. This alone can save you about $60 dol­lars a year. Shame on you Microsoft.

Design & Fea­tures

The Sony PlayStation3 is sim­ply gor­geous. It has a nice, glossy fin­ish which will just make you drool. It also con­tains an SD card reader, and 2–4 usb ports depend­ing on which ver­sion you purchase.

The Ver­dict

The Sony PlayStation3 is well worth your hard earned money.
