Sony PlayStation 3 Review - PC Authority

Sony-PlayStation-3-PC-Authority.jpg

A review of the Sony PlayStation 3 game console has been posted over at PC Authority. ‘At $675, the PlayStation 3 is by far the most expensive device in this Labs. Of course, you’re not simply getting a video streamer for your money, though. The gaming capabilities are potentially Xbox 360-beating (but game choice is still incredibly poor by comparison), plus it incorporates a Blu-ray drive, so you can watch HD movies, and the drive also supports Super Audio CD.

Another bonus is built-in 802.11g Wi-Fi – an optional extra on the Xbox 360 – and Bluetooth. It’s good to see an HDMI port in addition to a proprietary AV output, and there are also optical S/PDIF and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. At the front are four USB ports, which can either be used to charge the wireless controller or to plug in a USB hard disk or flash drive. A flip-up cover conceals useful media-card readers.’
