Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood PS3. Batman: Arkham Asylum PS3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
God of War PS3. Heavy Rain PS3. LittleBigPlanet 2. Yes, the Xbox and Nintendo Wii also have their own handful of exclusive titles Halo and Gears of War on the former, and all of the Mario , Metroid , and Zelda games on the latter , but the PS3's HD graphics go far beyond those of the low-resolution Wii, and its stable hardware doesn't suffer from the Xbox 's notorious red ring of death.
Plus, now that Blu-ray Discs have become the de facto standard for high-def media, the PS3 is still the only console available to play back that format, and consequently is the best performing and affordable Blu-ray player on the market--a great option if you want to introduce yourself to high-def content.
Design Like the Xbox and Nintendo Wii, the PlayStation 3 can stand vertically or lie horizontally in an AV rack, though because of its curved top, it's not meant to have any other components resting on top of it. Early prototypes were shown in white and silver, but currently the PS3 is only available in black. The 20GB version now discontinued was all black, but the larger capacity and all current models are highlighted with chrome trim--and there's no way to customize its look as you can with the Xbox 's interchangeable, if overpriced, faceplates.
Judging from Sony's recent decision to bring out the PSP in more colors, we don't expect the company to stick to the black-only option for too long, especially since this system, like the PSP, is a fingerprint and smudge-magnet. As for its dimensions, the PS3 measures That said, the PS3 does weigh a bit more pounds to the 's 9.
Most impressively, there's no external power supply for the PS3; you just plug the included power cable--it's the same standard three-prong style you'll find on most desktop PCs--into the back of the unit and you're good to go. For those of us who own an Xbox , and have had to struggle with its massive brick of a power supply, this seems like a remarkable feat on Sony's part.
One obvious difference between the Xbox and the PS3 is the way you load media. As opposed to the more typical tray loader, the PS3 has a front-slot-loading, Blu-ray Disc drive, which contributes to the unit's slicker appearance. Discs slide in and eject smoothly enough, so chalk one up for the PS3 here. Unfortunately if you need more than two ports, you're out of luck as only the older versions of the PS3 came with four.
This will certainly become an issue particularly if you want to charge your controllers as well as use an accessory like the PS Eye. The PS3 still doesn't come with USB ports on the back of the unit--something we've desired for a while.
Both new versions of the PS3 also now lack multiple flash card readers. A composite AV cable ships with the unit, and because it uses the same connector as the PlayStation 2, that system's S-Video and component cables should work with it, as well to get HD video, you'll need component or HDMI. This, once again, leaves us asking why Sony does not ship the console HD-ready out-of-the-box. Unlike the proprietary snap-on hard drive of the Xbox , the PS3's internal hard drive is user replaceable with any off-the-shelf laptop drive.
The only caveat: it uses the smaller 2. The Sixaxis DualShock 3 Controller When the PS3 was first released in the fall of , gamers gave Sony a lot of grief that the included Sixaxis controller lacked rumble vibration support--a feature found on the controllers for the Xbox , Wii, and even the older PlayStation 2.
Sony has since corrected that with the DualShock 3 controller, which is basically just the Sixaxis with rumble. With the exception of its included rumble support--and a bit more weight as a result--the Dual Shock 3 is otherwise pretty much identical to the Sixaxis.
Fans of the older Sony game consoles will note that it even looks identical to the older PlayStation controllers, but there are some differences. For starters, it's wireless. You can connect as many as seven controllers via the system's built-in Bluetooth, which Sony claims offers a meter range about 65 feet.
Recharging the built-in battery simply requires connecting the included USB cable between the console and the controller. You can continue to play as the battery juices up Sony pledges 30 hours of gameplay between charges , but the cable's somewhat short 5-foot length will put you right on top of the TV.
That said, the controller has a standard mini USB port similar to the one found on many digital cameras and PC peripherals, so swapping in a longer cable--or using a USB extender--shouldn't be a problem. By comparison, the Xbox and Nintendo Wii controllers offer user-replaceable batteries: AAs or proprietary rechargeables for the , and AAs for the Wii. As for the controller's design, Sony has made a few tweaks versus the old PS2 version. The L2 and R2 trigger buttons are a bit bigger, and the increased depth in stroke offers players more subtle game control.
Sony has also increased the tilting angle of the analog joysticks to give you more precise control and a wider range of motion. Those analog sticks are more sensitive as well. The Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers also have a centered Home button, which functions much like its counterpart on the Xbox controller. User Score: 3.

Face an opponent to threaten attack while moving with the ball in any direction utilizing precise dribble touches to dodge tackles, or turn and shield the ball, holding off defenders for longer stretches.
