Yes
The Bottom Line:
Kid tested, mother approved. Daddy don't care.
The latest console offering from those crazy mountainfolk at Sony is everything you might expect from the people that brought you such classics as the Playstation and the Playstation 2. It's shiny, it's black, and it's packed to the gills with masturbatory features that have virtually nothing to do with gaming. It also lets you play games. Holy crap. It is the Playstation 3, and it is the obsidian glacier that will etch the path into the future of next gen gaming. It also looks fantastic in your living room.
It is widely considered to be common knowledge that the Playstation 3 is a gaming console, made to play games, but with all the additional onboard features it may be easy to forget or never even know this often overlooked factoid. This particular model, the 80GB galactic console of death, is backwards compatible. This increases the range of gaming media you can play versus some other PS3 models, which are not backwards compatible. The current standard 40GB console comes to mind, as does having sex with my PS3 because it is so sexy.
The 80GB model is, pardon my french, the bonafied schitt. You can play vast amounts of media through this thing. PS1 and PS2 titles are fair game, as are DVD and Blu-Ray movies. You can also play music CDs with this device, but everyone knows you're way above that you I-Pod toting freak. I've heard rumors of backwards compatibily issues, such as some PS2 titles not running properly, but in my experience I've yet to encounter such a thing. But I will tell you this: The PS3 is sexy and I want to have sex with it.
The game library at launch was pretty weak and did not justify purchasing a PS3 for anybody save the hardcores, but has recently become brow raising and is poised to give the Microsoft Xbox 360 outfit a run for its money. For gamers who like to play online, the Playstation Network is free to register for and use and the store updates weekly, offering exclusive inexpensive titles and other stuff like game trailers and classic PS1 games and whatnot. And most importantly, you will be hard pressed not to have sex with your PS3.
There's no shortage of features here. The further you delve into the abyss of your PS3, the closer your mind will be driven to the brink of insanity by all the crap condensed within. Tread carefully, lest you lose your foothold on practicality and plunge into the stairwell of hell, never to return. Many features are, for lack of a better word, dickbutter. That's means "good" for those of you who aren't tweaked in the melon. Here's my handy dandy list of (known) good stuff the PS3 either has or does:
PS3 Good Things
•
4 USB ports
•
Optional Wireless Output for connecting to da net
•
Plays nearly everything that is shaped like a disc with a small hole in the center.
•
Chrome trim
•
Hard drive allows you to store and play most widely used music and video file formats, as well as store system firmware updates and gaming patches.
Here's a list of strange or arguably silly features that may be nice to have, but are rendered unappreciated by the fact they are not that practical and probably add to the system's expense.
PS3 Goofy Crap
•
Card Reading Ports for SD, Pro Duo, and CF cards.
•
Remote Play (allowing you to remotely play an infinitesimally small percentage of PS3 games on your PSP so long as both systems are powered on and within a certain radius of each other.
•
An internet browser so insanely crappy you will loathe to use it. It is made all the more worse by its inability to upgrade the flash player. The one thing you will probably want to use the internet browser for (watching online movie files on your HDTV) you will be denied to do in many instances because the flash player is sweaty balls.
•
Shiny black finish is so sexy you will feel frumpy and insignificant by comparison.
While it is marginally useful and conceivable that you may want to move media onto your PS3 via an SD card, it's still kinda duh, and therefore the card reader, a premium feature not found on most other PS3s, earns its rightful place on the goofy crap list. Also earning its place on the list but not shown here is YOUR FACE BEOTCH.
I feel it must be said that you can run the system for hours on end and it will not overheat. The controllers are wireless and can be charged with a simple USB cable. You can also remotely turn the system on and off with the controller. It's a lazy man's wet dream, and I do confess to being a wet man who dreams in shades of lazy.
If you intend to buy a PS3, you need to own a widescreen HDTV to get the most out of it. The Playstation 3 is a next generation system and needs the awesomeness of high definition to most appropriately present its fantastic graphics to your eyeholes. Attempting to play the PS3 on a standard definition TV will result in you going "I don't see the difference between this and the PS2" and consequently being made fun of by people that aren't stupid idiot heads.
I've owned mine for months now and I am wholly and utterly satisfied. I am not disappointed at all, and at the very worse I am surprisingly pleased. I also want to have sex with the PS3, and that's no joke.
