Playstation 3 Features Blu-Ray is the New Way
Sony's PlayStation 3 games are encoded onto the Blu-Ray disc media format, which can hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This increase in capacity--combined with the awesome power of its processor and graphics card--promises mind-blowing games once developers have learned how to fully harness the new console's power. The PS3 will also support CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. In addition, PlayStation 3 system software update version 2.20 and up includes BD Live support. With this you can now play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE) and you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format so that you can obtain additional features. Features that are available vary depending on the software in use. - The Dualshock 3 Rumble Wireless Controller
The Dualshock 3 Rumble wireless controller for the PlayStation 3 system provides the most intuitive game play experience with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive SIXAXIS motion sensing technology. Each hit, crash and explosion is more realistic when the user feels the rumble right in the palm of their hand. It can even detect natural movements for real-time and high precision interactive play, acting as a natural extension of the user’s body. Dualshock 3 wireless controller utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless game play and the controller’s USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller through the PlayStation 3 system at anytime.
- Plays All PlayStation Games
The PlayStation 3 will be backward compatible with PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games, which means you'll be able to play all your favorite games without keeping all the old systems. The console will have slots for Memory Stick Duo, an SD slot and a Compact Flash memory slot. It comes with a pre-installed hard disc drive, which allows you to save games as well as download content from the Internet.
- Included in this bundle Metal Gear Solid 4!
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, is a next-gen experience complete with top-of-the-line graphics and surround sound designed for the Sony PlayStation 3. Featuring the most revealing display of Kojima Production's premier title, MSG4 details the world where Snake must under go his final mission. In a world overrun by private military companies (PMCs), wars are no longer fought over nations or ideologies. Instead, the wars of the future are micro-managed by overarching PMCs, right down to the bullet. New gadgets and abilities fuel Snake's journey deep into the enemy domains of the Middle East, South America, and beyond. New gear includes "Metal Gear Mk. II," the ultimate reconnaissance tool, and "Solid Eye," which gives Snake real-time information on enemies and his surroundings. Joined by a familiar cast of characters, Snake must once again return to the battlefield to confront his lifelong rival, Liquid Ocelot, who is manipulating the world's wars from the one world where soldiers will always have a place. But Liquid Ocelot is not the only one who will be able to manipulate the world's wars--Snake can destabilize opposing forces by working behind the scenes, supporting the local militia as they fight PMCs, creating a smokescreen that allows Snake to move freely within the war-zone.
- Online
Sony has stated that the PS3 will have similar online connectivity and services as the next generation of Xbox Live. Calling it "an always on, always connected device," SCEI's chief technical officer Masa Chatani said the PS3 would be constantly in touch with a "PlayStation World" network "fundamentally based on community, communication commerce, and content." Technically, the infrastructure is there to make that connection. The PS3 supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T Ethernet, as well as IEEE 802.11 b/g wireless networking protocols.
Customer Reviews Gaming for the older/young generations...
I just bought this in the past few weeks just for the simple fact that I bought a new 52" Sony Bravia television and I wanted a blu-ray player to go with it. Boy was I in for a surprise! The game metal gear is not a game I have played for years but the graphics alone made this game one of my favorites of all time. I also own a wii, which now collects lots of dust and only my younger girls play the wii anymore. I've been a gamer for years and this is the console for the 20-and-up crowd. The wii is fun, but for pure gaming, the PS3 has no comparison. The 1080p graphics and BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY of PS2 games is also a huge plus! The only negative I have had with this console is that it does run hot, so don't enclose it in anything like a cabinet or anything. It puts out massive amounts of heat due to that cell processor running. Have not had any problems with overheating or anything, but stuff was getting warm that was placed around it. But overall, you will not be disappointed in this console. Now, off to try out Madden 09 on this....I can't wait! If you are looking to purchase a PS3, this bundle is the only sensible way to go.
-The System-
The loaded PS3 the comes in this bundle performs great, is very quiet, and has been kind to all of my disks thus far. It can run a little bit warm at times, but certainly cooler than my old ps2 gets after a few hours of play. The controllers are great, and have plenty of life to them (I played on one controller for almost 12 hours and never got a low battery warning). Blue Ray movies look great as well. The additional media ports are great as well, making it easy for me to upload photos and such with an SD card or thumb drive. The internal wi-fi capability works fine for me, even though the system is one floor below my wireless access point.
-The Game-
Metal Gear Solid 4 is the final piece to the extensive saga that is Metal Gear. The story moves quickly, can be confusing at times, and is quite long-winded. These aspects of the game are par for the course, however, and fit well with the overall presentation of the game, which is that of an interactive movie more often than not. MGS fans will notice that there is more attention on action in this title than in previous ones, but by no means does that mean the game shouldn't be considered "firmly seated" in the stealth genre. Kojima and Co. also made great efforts to mix things up for the player at several points in the game. Taking a break from sneaking around for 3 hours is nice. The graphics are absolutely fantastic, and take full advantage of the PS3's capabilities.
-The Bundle-
This bundle is a great value. You get an upgraded controller (dualshock 3) which I MUCH prefer to the plain Six-axis, solid HDD space (I upgraded mine, but 80gb is fine for regular users), a GREAT (I repeat) GREAT game, emulated backward compatability (I like being able to play my ps2 favorites without having to keep my old ps2 around), a stronger internal chipset (90nm), and extra media ports to boot. The tricked out ps3 is worth $500 alone IMO, all of the extras will pretty much seal the deal for anyone who hasn't already bought a PS3. Replace my 360 with a PS3
PS3 Pros
-On the PS3 online gaming is Free. They are not charging you 50 bucks a year so you can play online. Should be free in the first place.
-Bluray Player included
-Upconverting to 1080P assuming you have a Full HD TV and use HDMI
-7.1
-No advertising all over the dashboard like MS does
-No Overheating
Now most of the games that are coming out on the xbox360 are coming on the PS3
-You can upgrade your drive (you must use a SATA laptop hard drive. 5400 RPM is recommended as the firmware sets the read write access speed)
-It is Quiet
-Don't have to buy a wireless adapter it comes with it. almost 100 bucks for the xbox 360
-The unit can read xvid and divx.
-Controller Rumbles. Just make sure you have patched your games. (without the patch the controller doesn't rumble if you play Resistance).
-The graphics are as good as the one's on thexbox360 (if not better). As matter of fact I'm not a convert I'm just going with what is better for my wallet and gives me more. With the latest firware the PS3 really delivers. IT is only going to get better.
AND THE BEST FOR THE LAST
It comes with Folding@home. Love that feature
Cons: My PS3 does about everything but doesn't wash my dishes. Sigh
I sold my 360 because that piece of junk died on me after 6 months. Had to ship it back to ms and was without a console for a month. Bought a second one and that one died too.
I'm so done with the 360. I had some great moment on the xbox dont get me wrong but it is time to move on.
Too much advertising on the dashboard...anoying.
For the people paying the 50 bucks it should be advertising free.
