This is likely the Best Console yet, allowing for Flexability in Increasing HDD Size and Memorym Backwards Compatabilty with PS1 and PS2 Games (Where possible); and a host of Features that a Gamer would not be Intrested in such as Blu Ray and DVD Playback with teh added benefit to choose Online or Offline Gaming. I do not know of anothr Console that permits such Flexability - a real shame that we are not seeing such Flexability either in Game Designs allowing for Stand Alone 2 Player Game Play or Consoles Cateing for Backwards Compatability. The only let down is the way that we are being herded into Online Gaming for Multiplayer Optionsl but if you have yoru Playstation 1 and 2 Games - you still have the benefit of having Games that play like Games rather than having to follow the "Herd Mentality" of Isolation advanced by Online Only Multiplayer Games today. The Best buy out there for simple Good Old fashioned Stand Alone Gaming with Flexibility that will last.Read full review

Although impressive for the time, this system is outdated by today's standards. The first generation model struggled to play graphicly intensive games without constant frame rate stutter and occasional freezing. Some games did however perform well, and I did enjoy my time. But overall this was an unsatisfactory experience.

This is the best model of PS3 by far to own. It has 4 USB ports on the front instead of the 2 on the standard models, meaning you can leave your Eye Camera, Microphones, Guitar Dongle and Play TV all plugged in at the same time without having to keep swapping between them all! The card readers are a bonus too, so you can easily transfer photo's and music to your hard-drive straight from the camera / phone to customise your desktop. I've seen many 'YLOD' errors, but touching wood, my PS3 has been very reliable. It does run quite warm, but I hoover the ports at the side fairly regularly, and haven't had any problems even when playing COD for several hours at a time. The only real down side is the HDD size. Whilst 60GB is plenty big enough if you are just gaming, but now you can download full games, and I use mine as a PVR to record TV using Play TV, the drive gets full quickly. I have bought a 500GB External Hard Drive to connect by USB (another reason for having the 4 USB ports!), but you will need to get it formatted to FAT32 for the PS3 to be able to recognise it, search You Tube for details of how to do that and you'll save money instead of buying a 'PS3' external drive already formatted. The graphics are fantastic, and the machine looks sexy - it does show the dust quick though so be prepared to polish it now and then. The other plus side of the 60GB model is that it will play PS2 games. But to be honest, I hardly ever need that facility now as most of the PS3 games have better graphics, so its more a 'nice to have' rather than a 'must have' feature. On-line gaming is awesome, better than the X-box as its 'Free'. As long as you keep the updates, which unless you're a real techy means you won't be able to run linux any more. They are adding features all the time as updates, and now you can play catch-up on TV with BBC and ITV i-players, as well as 4-OD. You can also down load 'rent or buy' HD movies from the Playstation Store or through LoveFilm.com. Play TV is great too for recording programmes you don't want to miss. However these features won't really be important if you have Sky or Cable digi-boxes to do that function already. Anyway, if you're reading this review, you're probably already thinking about getting one, so stop thinking and start getting! Enjoy!!!!!Read full review
The Playstation 3 60gb FAT is an excellent console choice with stunning visuals and graphics. It is backwards compatable and will play most of your old Ps2 and Ps1 games, a feature which was discontinued when the Ps3 Slim was released. You can play Music on Ps3 be it stored on the system via Mp3 upload through one of its 4 USB ports or you can play CD's on it as well even iPods though the storage media option. It will of course play Blu Rays and DVD's it will also upscale your DVD's to improve quality of the film you are watching. There are literally thousands if games to choose from in Sonys library, some can even be downloaded straight to your hard drive which I think will be the way forward in future Playstation Console releases. Network gaming is great on the PSN network if you decide to join, you can also host your own challenges online, chat and cam if you have the right accessories or browse the web bringing the Internet to your tv, although personanally I feel the applications browsing software could be greatly improved but its not bad if you did not have option already available to you. You can also watch Tv I players on there too as well as streaming Movies through love film or Netflix, watch Music Videos or interact with other people on the PSN Home network. The bad news... As this was a new generation console unlike its predecessor Ps2, the Ps3 had a lot of reliability issues which Sony had to address eventually and sort out, mainly hardware/software issues , some consoles overheating, Red Light Of Death, Yellow Light Of Death, electrical faults and the most common being the Blu Ray Drive or Blu Ray board. Earlier BR lasers were not very reliable and went after a few months which meant the user had to send it back to Sony for a replacement console or source parts and if they had the know-how, fix it themselves. This experience left a lot of fans of Sonys Gaming consoles dissapointed and angry which saw a shift of some gamers to Xbox and Wii camps. That asides despite what I have told you, if you do get a hold of a good one you will not be dissapointed, I am on my second one and thoroughly enjoy it. If you are privvy enough to get hold of a good fully working Ps3 60gb then grab hold of it and get ready for fun! As Sony says 'The Game is just the start..'Read full review
Its working very well and smoothly. Love playing my big collection of PS2 games on it in upscaled HD quality. This had arrived safely and came well packaged. If you are after a PS3, then I would recommend looking for the 60GB Model and upgrade the HDD if you have massive library of PS3 games. Im glad I did. The 60GB will play all PLAYSTATION games, It has x4 USB slots for more devices to be plugged in at the same time ( if needed ), has built-in SD/Card readers for camera devices and slot for PSP SanDisk cards and has a chrome finish on the front and the PLAYSTATION 3 written on the top. most of all, it has the best design shape. Just be sure to clean it certain times per week in order to avoid dust build up and also stop the fans working too hard which leads to YLOD. Last but not least, keep it in a wide open space, well ventilated area ( away from other electronics that also produce heat ) 60GB is the best PS3 system you'll get out of all the other later models.Read full review
