Amazon.com Product Description
As DVD playback made the PlayStation 2 more than just a game machine, hefty multi-media features make the Sony PlayStation 3 an even more versatile home entertainment machine. Features such as video chat, Internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video will likely make it the central component of your media set-up. Still, it is first and foremost a game console--and a powerful one at that.
Under the Hood
The PS3 features IBM's "Cell" processor and a co-developed Nvidia graphics processor that makes the system able to perform two trillion calculations per second. That's approximately 320 times more calculations per second than the PS2. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, it also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TV and projectors. The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience.

This increase in capacity, combined with the awesome power of its processor and graphics card, promises mind-blowing games once developers have learned how to fully harness the new console's power. The PS3 will also support CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats.

The clue sends modern-day fortune hunter, Nathan Drake, on a quest to find the fabled treasure of El Dorado, leading to the discovery of a long forgotten island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The expedition turns deadly when Drake's party becomes stranded on an island and hunted by modern day pirates. Outnumbered and outgunned, Nathan must fight to survive and unravel the terrible secrets of the mysterious island.
Adventure, Mystery, and Exploration Abound
Using maps and ancient artifacts you'll uncover clues and unravel mysteries that will reveal a forgotten island a lost treasure. This uncharted world is alive with intrigue and mystery, and you'll revel in the amazing graphics as you explore exotic locations and traverse through living jungles and 400-year-old ruins. Drake's not all on his own -- his companions and allies play an important role in the adventure through cooperative gameplay mechanics, gun play, and exploration.
Action-Packed gameplay
Your abilities will be tested, challenge after challenge, as you struggle to stay alive by any means necessary. Thrilling high-speed chases over land and water and terrifying gunfire will keep you on the edge of your seat. And if that's not enough, you'll need to employ an array of hand-to-hand combat moves to keep your enemies off balance with haymaker punches and running drop-kicks.

Holy failure batman
Ok, first let me start off by describing generalities in Sony's Playstation 3 shortcomings.
The games suck. Yes, a few redeemable ones, but for the most part the only ones worth playing are also available on xbox. The few that aren't available on the Xbox console aren't really so amazing that it's worth the price difference, or skipping the Xbox only titles you will miss out on. Here we are, years after the launch, and there is still nothing noteworthy. Playstation has always been slow on the draw, but this is ridiculously slow.
Lack of Dual Shock in favor of a barely there wii-mote like angle sensitive controller. I don't know what Sony was thinking. Either go all out, or stick with what you know. It doesn't compete with Wii's motion sensitivity, as a matter of fact I can't recall it ever even coming into play in any of the games that graced my console. Being that this new feature is so barely there and lame they should have just made the controller shake. It's like they got rid of a feature for no reason.
Backwards Compatibility. It was great at first, with my PS3. But it's not what they made it out to be. Not all games worked, and after the first few versions of the console were released it all but went out the window. It's sad, because with such a huge lack of entertaining PS3 games it really helped score some much needed points.
The controller. When I was growing up I refused to play Xbox. I hated the controllers. PS 1 PS 2. It's all I ever bought and played specifically because of the controller. Well, I'm older now, a bit weathered. I do have arthritis. These controllers are all but impossible to deal with for extended periods of time with most hand problems.
The WORST BluRay player on the market. I didn't have any issues with mine actually breaking down, the whole console broke down before I had the pleasure. But seriously, this is the worst BluRay player you can get. Yes, it's really sweet Sony looked towards the future instead of betting on HD DVD like Microsoft, but at this point a BluRay player is in the works for XBOX and Sony lost their only actual footing on the competition.
The WORST online gaming of any console. Nobody plays. So, if you actually care enough about one of the few entertaining games Sony has to offer to try and find people online to play with, odds are your SOL. Yes it's free. 8 Day old hotdogs are free at the 7-11 too, doesn't mean I am going to wast my time with them. I don't have to bother listing the hundreds of ways Xbox Live is better and worth the nominal fee.
Now some specifics for what happened with my Sony Playstation 3. About three months after I got it the system started shutting itself off. I'm not a moron. I know how to treat electronics, so before anyone get's on me for leaving it in a closed cupboard, or not venting it properly, etc. etc. your wrong, I did. It simply stopped working. At first it would take a while to shut itself off. It got to the point where I couldn't even turn the system on and get past the opening credits of Iron Man without it just turning itself off. I called Sony, they told me it was an over heating issue and they would send me a new power chord. Wrong. I called again and they wanted 250 bucks to fix it. For 250 bucks I could get a bluray player, and that is pretty much all I used this paper weight for, so I said screw it. And so it sits, and has sat, for over a year. It begs to be mentioned Xbox replaced my system three times with BRAND NEW SYSTEMS. Not refurbished. Not used. BRAND NEW. If your going to design a system with flaws you should be willing to rectify them when they come up, and Sony is horrible at doing that. I'm not going to send Sony even more money because they can't get their act together. Obviously not everyone is going to come to this outcome. And admittedly the newer versions work better, (with less features), but it's not enough. SOny's horrible customer service and zero accountability are too much of a risk to make a serious investment in the system.
The Playstation 3 is without a doubt the most high-tech of the next gen consoles. It no doubt has the potential to be the best of the three, however it's just not. Not with these games. Not with these bugs.
The only majorly redeemable quality I could find was the internet browser. It's not great, but it was cool to be able to surf the web via video game console. however, for 15 bucks you can get an s-video cable and just hook your laptop up to your television.
If there is some game you can't life without that is only on PS3 go for it. But that is about the only reason I can think of that someone would really not be better off with an Xbox. Even that they would still be better off with an Xbox and skipping whatever unimaginable title one couldn't do without.
Oh, on a final note, Sony hardly ever lowers prices in popular titles. Uncharted is still carrying a rather hefty price tag for a game with a sequel already out and one of the first games released no less. Left4Dead has been out less than a year and it's half price. Ridiculous Sony. Ridiculous.
