The Sony PlayStation truly shines with 3D-rendered action games, such as Tomb Raider and Spider-Man. These and other 3D-based titles place players in the middle of elaborate gaming environments that take full advantage of the system's ability to render up to 360,000 polygons per second. The PlayStation also has the capability to display 16.8 million colours simultaneously and can support full-frame video playback at 30 frames per second. In addition to impressive graphics, the PlayStation also offers CD-quality sound. Each PlayStation disc has the capacity to store up to 650 MB of data--significantly more information than can be stored on cartridge-based games. As an added bonus, the PlayStation will even play your favourite music CDs (accompanied by a selection of cool graphics). Less

Pros Great Quality System with lots of games of many genres

Cons The Trove of Next Gen Consoles on the way

Recommended it? Yes

Playstation is one of the best video games systems out there on the market today even as I speak even though the PS 2 is already out.

Basically what makes any system great is the games (and not the technical specs, which are often part of the HYPE machine you see with every new console... Read full review »

SONY PLAYSTATION - Success has to start somewhere, and this is Sony's

Pros game selection, controller, new games are STILL being released

Cons graphics are kind of outdated

Recommended it? Yes

Back in the early 90's, most of the time when you'd hear about Sony, you'd think TVs, stereos, etc. Back when the SNES reigned supreme, near the end of its domination because of aging graphics and technical stuff, Sony and Nintendo were striking a deal to create a CD based add-on to the SNES...

Say Yes to DS(i)

Pros New camera/MP3/photo-editing tools; small but handy design tweaks.

Cons Matte finish is somewhat icky and dirt-prone; not worth an upgrade for Lite owners.

Recommended it? Yes

As much as I’d like to be a hip, edgy early adopter, I’ve come to accept that that’s not really who I am at heart. My inherent thriftiness prevents me from splurging on the newest thing for its own sake, so I’m usually left wistfully admiring the cool gadgets of others. The DSi is no exception –...

Cons nothing

I absolutely love my new DSi. We are a family of 4 and each one of us has our own DSi. It is great to play multiplayer games such as Mario Bros, sims racing, Mario cart etc. Perfect because as long as you are in the same area you can connect your DSi's...no need for internet... Read full review »
