5 Reasons To Buy A Playstation
5 Reasons to Buy a PlayStation 3.
Nintendo Wii , and Xbox 360 can be a daunting task. While all three systems are vastly superior to the last generation of video game consoles, they are also far more different from each other than ever before.
The PS3 Has Hi-Def/Blu-ray
Let’s get the most obvious feature out there first. Both the Xbox 360 and Wii operate off of older disc technologies, and the PS3 is the only gaming console that offers a Blu-ray high-definition disc drive. This plays out to be two distinct advantages for the PS3 -- Blu-ray movies and Blu-ray games. DVDs are on their way out, and Blu-ray is the new standard for video. Blu-ray discs also hold more data, so the PS3 has to use fewer discs for games. Finally, every PS3 supports 1080p video, upconverts regular DVDs to look better on your HDTV, and has an HDMI output (necessary for the highest quality HD signals).
The PS3 Is Ready Out of the Box, Cheaper to Own
While it is true that the sticker price of the PS3 is higher than the Wii or Xbox 360, it is a complete system. Take for example the controllers. All three systems come with wireless controllers, but the PS3’s DualShock 3 is the only one that’s rechargeable out of the box.
Want to get online using your WiFi network? On the Xbox 360, that will require a $100 dollar wireless upgrade kit while on the PS3 and the Wii wireless networking is built-in, though the Wii requires you to buy their web browser. Want to play games online? That will require you to purchase an Xbox Live Gold Membership. The cost to play on the PlayStation network? Nada. Want to download new games and video for your console? While it is
