Which gaming console should you buy?


Which console to buy has becoming increasingly more complex? It's now not simply a case of picking the one with the top games or the next generation console/upgrade of the one you already have. The main consoles to choose from are the PSP3, Wii and the Xbox 360.

If you read my Wii review it describes this console as the most ground breaking when it was first released changing the course of gaming for years to come and spawned the newer controllers from its competitors. Since this original review Nintedo have improved its original Wii Remote, with the MotionPlus for an improved/increased accuracy. The Wii is great value if the type of games and controller appeal to you, a very good alternative to the other power-strong consoles.

If high grade graphics is what you're after, you should be looking at the Xbox 360 or the PS3. The PS3 specification boasts the best console graphically and is free to play online. The unit also doubles as a Blu-ray player and the PlayStation Move controller gives a wireless experience similar, if not better than the Wii MotionPlus.

The Xbox 360, on the other hand have a system called Xbox Live for online use, which does unfortunately come at a cost financially (but it is very reputable). The most interesting feature is its newest form of its controller, which is something a little different called 'Kinect', a controller less system that allows the users' body movements and speech to directly interact with games, like spinning a roulette wheel in a casino. A highly ambitious project leaving us in intense anticipation of its final results.

An in depth comparison can be seen in my console comparison review.

Sony PS3 Slim preview

04 SEP 2009 launch price £ 250.00 ticks all the boxes of a multimedia machine lean and mean, with a price tempting to initialize Pros Svelte, looks smooth. Blu-ray and upscaling DVD player. Price cutting quality construction Cons Questionable. There is no compatibility with previous versions of PS2. No card reader

Show
It's hard to argue with a gaming machine that acts as a Blu-ray for only 250 quid, so we don't ... well, maybe a little. Sony PS3 Slim has been on the horizon for a while, but now that he can finally reached its proportions carved seduce us into casting off his brother clumsy?


Slimline Tonic
We weren't expecting any major changes to the specification, which was lucky because we didn't get any. all usual suspects that made the PS3 so popular are present and correct, including Wi-Fi, built-in browser, hard drive and that so important support for Blu-ray and DVD upscaling. true, fans of Linux can be a little miffed at it being dropped, but it is fair to say that they are in the minority.


What did very well tell us about how to open the box was a slab much more sophisticated matte black that has been slimmed down everywhere. Next PS3 seems understated and best qualified to reside on your HD TV. Unfortunately, it also feels less resistant, too.


Revision continues after the break ...


How to reduce the size of the Department, Sony also reduced power consumption of the PS3 Slim, making more energy efficient and silent in operation.


A 120 GB hard drive is very large enough to hold a decent selection of movies, while the built-in browser means you can access a wealth of online content, too.


There is no compatibility with previous versions of PS2
Thus, there are disadvantages? well, we still have some minor quibbles – but are more hangovers of PS3. There is still no card reader or compatibility with PS2 games, while the options of online games are not as sophisticated as Xbox Live.


That said, this is an attractive package of Sony that is bound to seduce the indecisive with its multimedia capabilities and slimline looks – not to mention reduced price is certainly enough to worry about the staff of Nintendo and Microsoft, at least.
