Playstation 3 Game Console 250 GB Hard Drive Review
Over All Rating: 
Price: $349.99 (currently priced/price may change) Return Policy: Return within 30 days of delivery for a full refund Brand: Sony Model #: Playstation 3 Recommended Merchant: www.amazon.com About The Product: The PlayStation 3 250 system is the fourth generation of hardware released in the Sony PlayStation series. It is still loaded with the multimedia features and functions of its predecessors, but with even bigger disk space at 250 GB plus new advancements and refinements, the newest PS3 console ups the standards for its rivals. Compared to the previous 160 GB version, disk space has increased by more than 50 percent; compared to the earlier 120 GB, disk space has more than doubled! You can now download more games, videos, photos, and music than you ever thought possible on your PlayStation. Although slightly wider than the 160 GB to accommodate its bigger disk space, it weighs a full pound less and is, consequently, easier to carry. Weighing less than 10 lbs, it is a breeze to bring with you everywhere! The 45 nm version of its processor allows this model to run at the same 60 nm speed as previous PS3 models using even less energy than before so you need to charge your batteries less often and you save more on power costs. Its Blu-Ray format, which can hold six times as much data as the traditional DVD format, continues to give users the supreme high-definition viewing while supporting other multiple media formats. Some have bought it for this feature alone. Blu-Ray Live Support software is included so you can acquire additional features for your Blu-Ray discs through the Internet. |

Customer Feedback-
"Buy a PS3-250 and do not upgrade if you do plan to download a few movies and games but not a lot of them AND/or you don't feel comfortable with upgrading your PS3 yourself. Anyone who is not an almost-exclusive movie viewer and doesn't want to mess with screws and OEM disks should buy the PS3-250. It should have enough capacity to last for quite a few years with good disk space management (delete the demos and downloads you no longer need)." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "It is a very good and fun product. After I spent all the money on what I needed, I debated on hooking it up or sending it back because it was a lot of money; I'm very glad I hooked it up and delt with the expense. It is everything I hoped." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "Overall, I say go for the 250GB if you're into being green like me and wish to download games, movies and load photos and music. This device is truly an all-in-one and like I said, I'm picky. Not to mention I understand technology pretty well. If, after taking a realistic inventory, you will use all or the majority of the services, grab one of these suckers. I'd also recommend going Sony for your TV and surround sound. They all work really well together." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com |
