User Reviews for Sony PlayStation 3 40GB

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: all inclusive and does everything well

    Weaknesses: learning to use the remote :D

    Overall Evaluation: I got this instead of a Blu-ray player. I am still learning to use it, but it is awesome. I am looking forward to getting it on the internet. This is definitely a great choice for a HD home theater. Be sure to use all the lastest gadgets and cables to hook it up to your other equipment. I got a professional to hook it up. You will be blown away by Blu-ray!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Quiet, less heat than other PS3 models

    Weaknesses: not compatible to old PS2 games

    Overall Evaluation: PS3 is a great console. I indeed like playing this over Wii. The main reason is that I can download playable demo of new games, such that I can try playing to see which games I really like to buy it. In addition, being a Blu-ray player is a plus.
