PS3 is the most advanced computer system that serves as a platform to enjoy next generation computer entertainment contents in the home, realised through the combination of Cell and RSX processors. Having Giga-bit Ethernet and a pre-installed hard disk drive (HDD) as standard in PS3, users will be able to download a variety of contents as well as access on-line games and services over the network.

Equipped with basic input/output ports, PS3 supports a broad range of displays from conventional NTSC/PAL standard TVs to the latest full HD (1080i/1080p) flat panel displays, offering the joy of the most advanced computer entertainment contents to homes around the world. For use in living rooms, maximum heat and noise reduction has been achieved with a noise level equivalent to that of the current slim-line PlayStation 2. With the overwhelming computational power of the Cell processor, PS3 is capable of playing back content from Blu-ray (BD) disc at a bit rate of multiplex 48Mbps with ease, the maximum bit rate defined in BD standards.

I dont even know why you would even consider selling your ps3, its the best console, its definitely needs a few more blockbuster exclusives that are on the halo scale but on a pure hardware comparison this kills the 360, this is coming from a former xbox fanboy

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars SUPER SUPER SUPER

First off the ps3 is amazing and i have had mine since the day of release . 1080P bluray movies , some of the best games i have played ever , full internet connection . No online subscriptions needed . Wireless connection built in and it connects to a microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse without effort ( xbox360 wont recognise it at all ) . But the controller gets uncomfortable after a while , i have had a minor problem with the hard drive due to a bad update ( the updates are also annoying as the seem to happen every other week and take ages)
I give the machine an over all of 4 stars only because of the controller which in my eyes is a major part of the machine . Otherwise this is the machine i use when the xbox 360 is off for repair again
