The PS3 Isn’t Just a Game Console
Monday, September 8th, 2008While a new video game console can bring your family entertainment for many hours, picking the wrong one due to bad information can lead to serious disappointment. There is a baffling number of choices on the game console market. The information you are looking for can be very difficult to find, but you will find there’s a lot of misinformation out there.
First off, here are some questions that you need to ask yourself and you should keep in mind while reading:
-What are the types of games that interest you?
Do you plan on buying an HDTV anytime soon or do you already have one?
What type of budget do you have to work with?
Which piques your interest the most, playing games with a group or the solo playing experience?
Have you got any of the old school gaming systems?
There was a period in time where one could not find a game system that cost more. Fortunately, prices are lower now than at that time. For only 400 USD (it all depends on the model you plan on buying)it has pricing that is more attractive compared their competitors. Prices change constantly so chech the latest games consoles prices online.
The PS3 is an experience, it is more than just a game console. As it’s compatible with Blu-Ray, CD, and DVD media, it also has the ability to play DVDs in HD. The PS3 would be perfect for those with an HDTV and no HD movie player as you can get both of your movie and gaming experiences in the same box. This is with the latest technology of Blu-Ray, the leading high-definition movie format. Without an HDTV display, movies in Blu-ray format don’t provide any better quality. This feature doesn’t translate well for use with a standard definition set.
While virtually the same as the PS2 controller, the controller features motion sensing technology known as Sixaxis. The controller can be tilted Six different direction for interactive game play. The results vary from game to game based on well this has been incorporated. Doing it well means you’ll gain lots of experience, doing it wrong means you’ll be nothing more than a problem. You need to keep in mind that the Sixasis controller is missing the vibration feature. The newly released DualShock 3 controller with vibration will not be included with newly purchased PS3s until June 12, 2008.
Video games for the PS3 and Xbox 360 are pretty much the same the same for either system.
