It was pleasing to read that the PS 3 features "Dobly" sound (see specs above). I haven't heard of Dobly since Spinal Tap!


3 out of 5 stars rather disappointing!   August 26, 2008

Bought this expecting great things and to be honest was a little disappointed. br / br /Its great for playing blu ray dvds, excellent gameplay and quality picture yet the reason I only give it three stars is the disappointing load up times and the lack of online gaming. br / br /You stand for three hours in the pouring rain for that long awaited game at midnight, get home in the wee small hours and hey presto wait for an hour while the damn thing uploads and downloads. M mate meanwhile is an hour into his game on his xbox 360. br / br /I have to wait for my mates to drop in for a multiplayer game, my mate plays it all the time on the xbox 360. br / br /Had sony not won the war in the hd versus blue ray I know where I would have invested my money. br / br /I feel a little let down to say the least and I dont mind admitting annoyed, its a bit like the pepsi versus coke war one tastes better to whoever it is that prefers it. I would only half recommend this to anyone because of the above reasons online play and download time, if you can get past those two things then its truly a nice piece of kit.

this is a very good product from sony, even if they do charge way too much. had mine 6 months now and never crashed or had any problems, people who say they keep breaking must being doing something stupid to them. br / br / br / this is well worth the money. br / br /buy one.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent console that sadly failed after two months.   August 20, 2008

br /I have purchased two Ps3 in the last three months, br /for Husband and for son. One from Amazon the other br /from Toysrus. br / br /One of them failed, (The one from Toysrus, although br /that's most probably not relevant), and I believe br /it was the disc reader. br / br /It does not do anything after putting in a game or dvd, br /there's just a continuous loading bubble in top right corner. br / br /Sony collected it and replaced it with a refurbished one br /within two days,which is rather annoying when the one we br /had was externally in perfect condition, and the refurbished br /one is badly scuffed and scratched all over the top. br / br /It's now a matter of keeping our fingers crossed that this br /does not happen again, although after an Internet search, br /this is not an uncommon problem. br / br / br /Apart from all of that, the Ps3 is a fantastic console, that br /I give five stars to for the brilliant gaming experience alone. br / br /------------------------------------------------------------------------- br / br /UPDATE 4/11/08: br / br /The refurbished model has now also completely br /failed after a couple of months use, with the br /same problem as the first one - failed blueray br /reader. br / br /Sony will repair this model. They said they know br /there is a problem with these, which they are br /working on. br / br /I hope they sort it before my warranty runs out, br /otherwise I will feel ripped off.
