well the ps3 has technology that the next generation of 360 and wii will have. it is considered a super computer by professors. and it is the only game console used to help find a cure for aids. it has a failure fate of 0.3%, the 360 is 16% and the wii is 3%.(the percentage shows the amount of hardware that is defective when made). its processor is currently being used to build the worlds fastest super omputer (built by ibm). its processor is also used th track the U.S. weapons.





the ps3 has motion sensing controlls

Sixaxis Controller( The sixaxis has the ability too sense Pulls, Trusts and Tilts allowing the player to get more into the game, You also dont need to waste your time or money on other batteries because the sixaxis controler just plugs into the ps3 system to recharge)

Hard Drive ( There is a hard drive in every system made making it able to install parts of some games onto the hard drive, making some games load much faster)

Blue-Ray ( Blue-Ray disks can hold up to 50 gb and possibily in the future 200gb allowing massive amounts of data onto the disks, compared to the 9gbs that a regular dvd can hold)

HDMI ( All PS3 systems have a HDMI output allowing you to plug it into your 720i, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p televisions. Note: If you are playing on a standard TV(470i) you are not getting 70% of the graphics you would get on a 1080p.)

It has only a 0.2% failure rate

You can get the PS3 in a sleek and shiny black or white.

Network ( The Playstation Network is completly free and will soon have a trophy system along with a virtual world called Home)

The Power on and eject buttons are touch like the ipod scroll wheel.

You can put the LINUX operating system on it and make it look like a computer

Games ( There are many great exclusive games out already or coming out for the ps3. I will name a few) Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Haze, Unreal Tounament III, Heavenly Sword, God of War 3, Resitance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2 and more.

You can run it for a extremly long time without any problems( go to google and type in "how to kill a ps3", the guys over at ps3vault did a test on it)

Depends what kind of game ur looking for the ps3 and 360 both have great HD graphics leaving the wii graphics in the dust but there are some fun wii games (emphasis on the "some") also the ps3 and 360 have a great online experience while the wii only lets u play with friend codes lol also they both have many games that come on both ps3 and 360 but i prefer ps3 bec sony is freaking awesome and if u have seen the rrod (red ring of death for the lay person) percentage rate its insane while the ps3 failure rate is only about 2-3% and i am one of them but i still prefer the ps3 P.S. - 360 users will tell u that they have better online but its completely false bec ps3 already caught to 360 a long time ago bitches

Hi the Wii is great I have both, but the PS3 is full of dust go for the wii any day of the week.

Unless you are a hardcore gamer then the PS3 is supreme in Graphics

1. The name isn’t as bad as you think. Really. Well, it’ll grow on you.



2. Innovative controls. The Wii-mote and Nunchuk that you use to play Wii games with make for a completely different kind of gaming. You wave, point, swipe and swing to play. It’s only as good as the games that make use of it though.



3. No graphical willy-waving. It’s a fair cop: Wii isn’t as powerful as PS3 or Xbox 360. But that means developers could and should be focusing on gameplay. And as a bonus, it means we don’t have to read endless game reviews dribbling on about textures.



4. Wii Sports. It comes bundled with your Wii, and is a collection of five sporty mini-games: tennis, baseball, golf, bowling and boxing. All show off the sheer fun of using the Wii-mote, and are the ideal introduction to what Nintendo’s console is capable of.



5. Full internet access. Yep, you’ll be able to surf the Web through Wii, using the Opera browser, which you’ll be able to download via the Wii Shop channel for free - at least until next Summer.



6. The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The latest installment of Nintendo’s classic adventure franchise is a launch title, and looks ace. Read our preview for more details.



7. It’s cheap. In the UK, a Will will cost you £180 at launch. That’s practically a pocket-money price! (if you’re Paris Hilton)



8. Play classic N64 games. The Wii’s Virtual Console lets you purchase ‘points’ which can then be exchanged for a host of retro games, which you download to the console. N64 titles announced so far include Super Mario 64, Starfox 64, The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, and Mario Kart 64.



9. Your mum can play it. The joy of Wii is that the Wii-mote makes gaming fun even for people who don’t like traditional gaming. Like your mum. Hell, even your gran. Although you might need to stock up on some Jointace before inviting her round…



10. A proper global launch. Like Microsoft before them, Nintendo have more or less managed to get Wii out in Asia, North America and Europe at the same time. Even if us Europeans are a few weeks behind. Grr.

11. Nintendo are making LOADS of them. Six million by the end of March next year, in fact. This probably still won’t be enough to meet demand, mind.



12. Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz. Monkeys, bananas, evil multi-coloured octopii and the Wii-mote in perfect harmony. Read our preview.



13. Wi-Fi (or should that be Wii-Fi?). Either way, Wii has it, so you’re not tied to your broadband socket, and if you’ve already got a wireless home network, you can connect to the internetweb straight away.



14. Wii is the ultimate party console. Invite friends round, ideally with their own Wii-motes, and play a bunch of mini-games. With booze, obviously. I’m writing the Super Monkey Ball drinking game as we speak.



15. Create your own Mii. Miis are cartoon avatars, which represent you in some games, and will hopefully be used online too. Make it look like you, or make it look like Brian Blessed. The choice is yours.



16. In fact, create your own Mii right now. Go here.



17. Wii Play. Assuming you’re not a Zelda nut, Wii Play should be your first purchase. It’s more mini-games to show off your Wii-mote, but more importantly comes with an extra controller bundled in. Read our preview.



18. C64 games on the Virtual Console. Oh yes. Publisher System 3 is bringing some classic Commodore 64 games to the VC. Confirmed are Impossible Mission, California Games and The Last Ninja. Still a rumour (in my own, fevered, imagination) is Emlyn Hughes International Soccer.



19. Cartman loves it. Read why here (even if the actual South Park episode has been removed from YouTube).



20. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2. Crazy anime fighting game. Whaddya mean you haven’t played the first one? Tsk.



21. The old-skool classic controller. Buy it to play Virtual Console games! Realise how much controllers have moved on! Still think it looks cool!



22. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. All-new Res Evil for Wii, although sadly the name doesn’t mean you’ll only be allowed to off zombies by stabbing them with a butterfly-patterned parasol.



23. It’s quiet. i.e. it doesn’t wheeze like a copulating rhino.



24. It can talk to your DS via Wi-Fi. What will this mean? Details are still a bit vague, as we explained in our feature.



25. Cooking Mama: Cook Off. Make like Jamie Oliver and chop, dice, slice and flip food using the Wii-mote. Secret mode where you slap fat children with Turkey Twizzlers still unconfirmed.



26. Swordfighting. Wii will rule at this, thanks to the Wii-mote. En garde!



27. SNES games on the Virtual Console. There’ll be loads. So far announced: F-Zero, Sim City, Super Metroid, Mario RPG, Kirby’s Super Star, and Pilotwings.



28. Super Smash Bros Brawl. All Nintendo’s most famous characters (and a few special guests) in one big festival of fighty-ness. And it’ll have full proper online play too. One of our picks for 2007.
