5 out of 5 stars Something you might not know.   October 18, 2008

Sony supports an additional operating system (OS) on all of it's PS3 consoles.
Not only do you get the Sony OS to play games, surf the web, play video's and music but you can install a Linux OS so that you can use the console as a PC.

A lot of people had issues in the past installing a Linux OS and to be fair it was a little tricky. I've just installed Yellow Dog Linux (YDL) and not only is it easy to install but it's free to download and use. Yup, I did say free, as in free.

If you use a Windows PC or a Mac then getting round YDL is easy and you'll pick it up quickly.
Just remember when you're making your decision as to which console to buy, ask yourself, could you do with a free PC too.

I reckon you can't go wrong with the PS3, free online play and 2 OS's in one box. Is there any other choice.



5 out of 5 stars Good for Films & Games.   October 11, 2008

Something people sometimes overlook is the fact that the PS3 not only has a top of the range Blu-Ray player (which has software updated regularly to keep up to date), it also upscales DVDs. This will give your DVD collection a boost and make them look, in some cases, not that far away from a Blu-Ray disc on a HD ready TV.

As for the games. The PS3 has a little while to go until developers really get to grips with optimising games for it. There are many great games just around the corner though, Far Cry 2, Killzone 2, New Call Of Duty, Little Big Planet, Fallout 3, Dead Space...

Never been a better time to buy a PS3 in my opinion.



5 out of 5 stars Great all-round console   October 22, 2008

The PS3 is a 5 star console and has a whole load of new games coming out this christmas and in 2009 including LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2 and Killzone 2. However there is a very good selection of games that you can buy now, many of which are exclusive for the PS3.

The PS3 is advertised as a multi-media console which couldn't be more true. Not only can you play amazing games but you can also watch DVD movies and high definition Blu-ray games. Not only that but you can watch your own selection of videos and your favourite music tracks stored on your hard drive. Also in 2009 you will be able to download Movies, TV Shows and Music from the PlayStation Store just like you can right now with games.

Another aspect that sets this console apart from Micrsoft's offerings is that the PlayStation Network is free which enables you to add and chat to your friends, and play games online without having to think about an annual subscription.

If you are looking for a console that does everything you want including play lots of fantastic of games, and more, then the PlayStation 3 is the best console for you and I highly recommend it to anyone!
