Review: PlayStation 3 40GB - The PlayStation 3 40GB is a very good console. I would highly reccomand it to anyone in need for a cheap, fully-functional PlayStation 3. I had purchased this for $200.00, and have not regretted it since. It features a user-replaceable hard-drive, bult-in Wi-Fi, touch-sensitive buttons (which are a bit annoying, I must admit), and full PlayStation Backwards compatibilty (Original Only). Also, It has an HDMI port and 2 USB ports, but no memory card slots. As well, this is a fatty version of it, so please be aware of the dust it collects, because it can be a little alarming at times. It is lightweight, and much lighter than the 60GB, and does not overheat as much. The finish in front of the disc tray is not chrome, but more of a dark silver scheme, in which the "Spider-Man" writing is done in as well. It also has a built in ethernet and a digital sound port for attatching stereo speakers. Also, the power supply is internal, so there is not huge brick, unlike the XBOX 360. It just uses a standard computer plug, commonly found on most desktop computers. As well, you can use any set of PlayStation AV cables, so you can use them if you have a PlayStation 2 or Original. It also features a built-in web-browser, in which is one of my favorite features. It can also read Blu-Rays, DVD's, CD's, Original PlayStation games, and of course, PlayStation 3 games. Also, there is a very useful BlueTooth connection, on which is very solid and never disconnects, unlike the XBOX 360's 2.4GHz connection, in which in my opinion, is not very good. It will detect any BlueTooth devices, so it does not have to be marked with the SONY logo. With all of this being said, this model of the PlayStation 3 is very good, and for the price, it's one of the best on the market.
Review: disapointed in many ways - I have a hard time recamending this system. First off I,ve only brought about 5 games for my ps3 2 of witch I never played. between the other 3 Hevenly sword, folklore, and valkyria I dought I have 100 gaming hours on my disc drive. and its already failed. It no longer spins. I have only watched 2 blue rays and 1 dvd (twice). Thats not acceptable. thus the 1 star I barrly used it since I,m always on my xbox core system. first gen. release, and yes 30 plus games latter 100+ hours just on soul calibur its still woking fine. Things i didn't like about my ps3 b4 it broke. 6 axis control playstaion network and store. (adopted xbox first and even tho free psn cant even be compaierd to the quallity of xbox live) xbox live is definatly the better choice for social gaming. few exlusive titles of intrest. I brought mine for FF13 and blue-ray and ended up bying FF13 for xbox after sony lost the excusive The trophies. copies of achivments on xbox aren't as easy to view and didn't catch my intrest. Things i did like. The playstaion controller has a better d pad. The blue ray was able to play a dvd that skipped on all my dvd players the day it came out of box ( the burn looked wavy think it was skipping during burn). Exlusive games like hevenly sword almost made it worth bying. The blue-ray ps3 at the time was cheaper then blue-ray players. but alass that is the part that failed in 100 hours. In all its not a bad system its getting to point were its got the games. but the 40 and 60 gig modles have hardware problems. If you havn't injoyed xbox live you wount know what your missing on psn, but if you get a ps3 get the new slim or 80 gig. they seem to not have the blue-ray lazer and moter fail problems.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this one backward compatible?**
A: Count the USBs in the front. Fat and 4 is backwards compatible.  I have a 20Gb original that the HDMI went out on last year. The 20Gb hard drive went out 2 months in to 2007. I have replace that twice and it is now 320. I replace the 2nd one just because I had a bigger one. I use it upstairs for now and I am looking for just a regular PS3 to have a good blu-ray and play some of the last PS3 games.

**Q: does this have 3.55 ofw**
A: what is ofw? regardless, don't buy it, the 1st generation ps3 tend to break a lot and it is bulky and heavy.  Suggest you buy SLIM or SUPERSLIM models.  Go to amazon.com or craiglist to find used slim or superslim for around $100.

**Q: How can i fix my ps3 it shuts off 5 seconds after turning on**
A: Contact Amazon customer service for instructions on how to return the PS3. You may be able to get a full refund.  It does not sound repairable

**Q: Do this ps3 automatic save your games when you them**
A: no.  That's only for games with auto save functions in them like ff13-2 and 13-3.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An incredible system (from an xbox owner)
*by C***O on December 20, 2007*

First let me say that my previous console system is an xbox (the original one). I've never owned another playstation before this one... so i'm not a sony fanboy. I actually argues against the PS3 with a friend for months because I was simply not a fan of Sony products and figures this was just another over-priced, under impressive peice of.... well, you get what I mean. The Playstation 3 (PS3), while more expesive than other consoles is actually the best value of them all... let me explain. INTENET ACCESS: The PS3 includes a built-in wifi adapter. For the Wii and the XBox 360 you must purchase a wifi adapter as an add-on. Online gaming via the Playstation Network (PSN) is included with the PS3 for free. With the XBox you must purchase a subscription to the xbox live service. I think the Wii also includes free access, but I'm not certain of that. HIGH DEFINITION VIDEOS: The PS3 includes a built in blue-ray disc player (stand-alone blue-ray players *start* at about $300 for the cheapest models). The xbox 360 does have HD-DVD available as an addon, but that's going to cost you another $200. Th Wii does not have an option for High-Definition movies. STREAMING MEDIA: I'm not too familiar with the abilities of the 360 to stream media, I think the 360 and PS3 are actually fairly similar on this point. GAMING: This is where you're going to get into varying opinions... I'm not going to get too much into this except to say that all 3 new consoles have their strengths and weaknesses... but they're all great game machines... so for me, the gaming decision came down to the systems that had the type of games I like to play (PS3 and 360) and the TOTAL cost of the system. That pointed me directly to the PS3. I hope this helps someone and thanks for reading.
