PlayStation 3 - 320 GB System/PlayStation Move Bundle

Great console, great games, and an even better PlayStation Network. One star deducted because of PSMove and how useless it becomes once you start using it! br>br>Because everyone in the world has probably already reviewed the PS3, I'll just make a "pros and cons" list and compare it to the 360. Advantages: br>br> br>Free online gameplaybr>The best exclusives (so good that the PS4's catalog is currently heavily reliant on it)br>Arguably better graphics
Blu- Games on a ray (due to the fact that DVDs aren't 9s are easily scratched, and the number of discs you have to carry for any game is ridiculous. )br>Blu-ray The ray player excuse (which is no longer valid given how inexpensive regular BD players have become, but it used to be a viable option for persuading your family). br>Swappable hard drive (on the PS3, I just need to swap out the hard drive; on the 360, it's a little more difficult. ) )br>PS features such as automatic cloud saves and others, particularly automatic game patching (which the Xbox One lacks and makes me wait a long time for long patches before I can actually play the game! )br>Controller with a built-in battery Better than buying and recharging AA batteries for the rest of your life or paying even more for Microsoft's handy battery cable kitbr>br>Cons: br>Sony being Sony (removal of OtherOS features and backwards compatibility with PS2)br>Sony being Sony 2 (updates that rendered many consoles useless, even if those updates were mandatory, no warranty and bare minimum support for bricked units)br>It can get hot at timesbr>Support/repairs outside of warranty can be expensive. br>Even with the PS4 on the market, you will still need one.

The option to move with a wand is fantastic. For Christmas, I bought my two daughters a Play Station 3 320GB bundle with Move wand. The next day, they had it working on the TV and the Internet. Setup is simple. It's a huge improvement over the Play Station 2. br>br>Oldest daughter invited her boyfriend over, and they were playing one of the archery games that came with the Move wand, which was a lot of fun. They had it working flawlessly; it was precise and well-executed. Several times, I hit the target. This is an excellent game. With the package, you'll get a webcam camera. Setup is simple and straightforward. It works with the move wand and comes with one wireless controller. It was an excellent solution. br>br>With the Play Station 3, they connected to the high-speed wireless Internet and downloaded a Star Trek demo for me to play. It's pretty cool. For around $5, I'm considering ordering Star Trek games. Each one costs $99 and is controlled by a PlayStation 3 controller. There appear to be a large number of games available for purchase and download from the Play Station website. br>br>Facebook and YouTube can also be accessed through the Play Station 3. It's very quick and simple. You can play games with people from all over the world on your Play Station 3 through the Internet. It appears to be a lot of fun. br>br>In comparison to the Play Station 2, this Play Station 3 INMO is a quantum leap forward. This Play Station 3 will hold a lot of games thanks to its 320GB bit capacity and memory card. Some of the Play Station 2 games INM0 were just as good as the Play Station 3 games, but the Play Station 3 has a lot more capabilities, and some of the games' animation and graphics are better on the Play Station 3. br>br>Wife purchased an interactive plastic rifle and a hunting game for the kids. The kids were "hunting" all kinds of animals and "saving" themselves from being killed or eaten by wolves, bears, and lions after zeroing in and calibrating. The Play Station 3 and the interactive plastic gun are a good match. The rifle is designed to look like a toy and is brightly colored, making it impossible to confuse with a real rifle. br>br>Called the Play Station phone number provided to inquire about the basic warranty. I was able to get through immediately. My question about simply keeping the receipt (Amazon on-line statement) for warranty was answered by a pleasant and knowledgeable person. There will be no issues. br>br>Kids will enjoy playing games on this machine, and some games will appeal to adults as well. As a former Navy officer, I enjoy any of the plane/aircraft carrier games. The Star Trek games, as an old "Trekkie," appear to be entertaining. I'll have to limit the time kids spend on the Play Station to no more than 1 or 2 hours per day, as I can see how addictive these games can be. (Check to see if they have enough time for homework, etc. ) When the weather is bad, this is a fun game to play. It's enjoyable to play a few games. Take a chance. 5 stars.

This bundle was purchased for my son's PS2 as a Christmas present. After doing some research, I came to the conclusion that purchasing the bundle was the best option. While buying the PS3 and the move game bundle separately would cost about the same, the PS3 move game bundle comes with a larger hard drive for the same price. br>br>Setting up the PS3 and the eye for the move was simple. The Sports Champion game, one move controller, and the eye were all included in the package. While the majority of the games on Sports Champion can be played with just one move controller, it is preferable to use two. The Sports Champion game is ok, with one controller for the shield and the other for the sword, similar to Gladiator. All of the games (Gladiator, Bocca, Frisby Golf, Volley Ball, and Ping Pong) use the same "flat" characters. In comparison to the Wii, there aren't as many move games available yet, and I find the selection to be limited at the moment. We downloaded the "Shoot" demo, and the controller calibration isn't ideal. br>br>We downloaded demos and purchased and downloaded Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light from the Playstation store. Some people claimed that using a credit card was difficult, but I had no such issues. We live in the country, so we don't have the best (cable, etc. ) internet, so downloading Lara Croft took several hours. The graphics, on the other hand, are excellent when compared to the PS2. br>br>Netflix br>br>Netflix br>br>Netflix br We've successfully streamed a number of films via Netflix. It works well, and learning to navigate with the controller can be a fun experience. br>br>Player for Blu-ray discs. We have yet to try out the Blueray player, and I have yet to purchase a remote control for it, so I cannot comment at this time. br>br>CON: I'm going to take away a star because this is large enough. The controllers' batteries are being charged. All of the controllers are equipped with wireless technology. There is only ONE charging cable included in the package. The controllers can only be charged when the PS is turned on, and you can only charge one at a time, according to the manual, but I never know if they're charged. The standard controller has several lights that indicate whether it is fully charged or nearing the end of its battery life. I'm stumped by the move controllers (one light that flashes when charging). You can check the battery life on the TV, but that requires connecting the controllers to the PS3, which no one wants to do all of the time. When one of the move controllers gets low and I try to switch it to make the other the "main controller," I've had trouble switching it and usually end up switching games and giving up. While I believe the PS3 plus Move bundle was a good deal, I am purchasing a separate charger to charge multiple controllers at the same time. br>br>While I believe the PS3 plus Move bundle was a good deal, I am purchasing a separate charger to charge several controllers at the same time. It's only the start of the journey. I also purchased a MOUNTING CLIP for the eye, a second MOVE CONTROLLER, and a CHARGING STATION since I purchased the bundle. Purchases that may be made in the future. a second controller, such as a remote control for the Blu-ray player.
