It was released towards the end of 2006 and had two gargantuan 500 and 600 dollar price points. Many gamers scoffed at the idea of paying this when they could have the Xbox 360 for nearly half the price or the the Nintendo Wii for a mere 250 dollars. However that was in 2006; this is 2008 nearly two years after the launch of the Playstation 3. Is it worth the purchase? The PS3 is still the most expensive system on the market, coming in at 400 dollars. However for the money you will be getting a very feature rich system that includes a varied library of games, including some AAA exclusive titles, and a system that is built to be the base of your entertainment center with its built-in blu-ray player. The online system, called the Playstation Network, is very feature rich for being a free service but has not quite caught up to the Xbox Live system that Microsoft has on the 360. However for gamers who have a little extra money to spend they will not be disappointed with everything the Playstation 3 has to offer. First off the most important part of any system is the games that it has to offer. The Playstation 3 has many exclusives that appeal to many fans such as Metal Gear Solid 4 or the recently released LittleBigPlanet fans are sure to find something they like. My personal favorites are Uncharted, Resistance 2, and the two mentioned above. The first time players land on the tropical island in Uncharted is breathtaking. These exclusive games take true advantage of the hardware that Sony has created and it really shows. They are optimized to look and run their best on this system. Of course the PS3 is home to many multiplatform games as well including Fallout 3, Dead Space and Soul Calibur IV. One issue that has plagued some multiplatform games on the PS3 is the shoddiness of some of the ports. Two immediate examples come to mind: The Orange Box and Fallout 3. These are two great games that are noticeably worse on the PS3 than the other platforms they are on. The Orange Box has much longer load times and Team Fortress is nearly unplayable due to lag issues. Unfortunately it does not seem likely that a patch will be released anytime soon. Fallout is not as bad but my major issue with it is that when someone on your friends list signs online the game freezes for about 4 seconds. It is terrible that this made it into the final game but luckily the game is still great. One other issue that irks many players with the Playstation 3 is the mandatory installs for some games. It does not seem to effect exclusive titles as much (with the notable exception of Metal Gear Solid 4) however multiplatform titles that run great on the Xbox 360 require a 5GB install to before they even work on PS3. Devil May Cry 4 is the worst offender of this; taking nearly 20
minutes to install. However some games like Soul Calibur 4 have an optional install that speeds up loading times. This is a great idea and much better than mandatory installs that may be because of laziness in a port or simply because the PS3 has a slower speed drive. A big perk for many people coming into the HDTV age is the inclusion of blu-ray in every PS3. This is a big reason why blu-ray won the format wars against HD-DVD and also is something that may push some gamers over the edge if they have trouble deciding between exclusive titles. Also since all the games are on blu-ray instead of DVD it would seem that as developers create bigger and bigger games PS3 may be the platform of choice because of all the extra benefits of blu-ray. The Playstation Network is also a nice free bonus for every PS3 owner. Not only does it allow gamers to battle it out over the internet it also provides plenty of media to download. A perk of the PS3 is that it uses standard laptop hard drives; making it much easier and cost-efficient to upgrade the hard drive in it when compared to the Xbox 360. Overall the PS3 is a great example of how a system can change in a matter of 2 years. Many people are down on the PS3 because of its price or they still feel like it has a lack of games. However the PS3 has a huge library of games and the exclusives on the system are what is going to make or break it for people. It may have lost quite a few of exclusives to the Xbox 360 over the past few years but it still has many break out games that fans of video games need to get their hands on.
