Sony PlayStation 3 (40GB)

(11/9/07)

Sony PlayStation 3 (40GB) review


Summary: : The new PS3 is significantly cheaper, with only a slightly smaller hard drive, the loss of the card reader and PS2 backwards compatibility... Read the full review
Verdict: Sony's PlayStation 3 may be the most expensive next-gen console, and its launch titles aren't very impressive, but its swanky design and bevy of features, including a Blu-ray drive, make it hard to resist
Pros: ; Swanky design; quiet operation; all games in high-definition; user-friendly interface; plays Blu-ray movies; built-in Wi-Fi; 40GB hard drive; online play is free; HDMI output with 1080p support; no external power supply
Cons: ; Games lineup is still unimpressive; HDMI cable not included; PS2 games not supported
Country: UK
