The PlayStation 3 is one of the top three gaming systems in the world today, and for very good reason. As well as being reliable and somewhat modern, PlayStation 3 consoles double as Blu Ray players, which alone puts them head and shoulders above their closest competitors. On top of that, the PS3 is backward compatible with roughly 1,000 PlayStation 2 games. The full list of games is available on the PlayStation website, so there’s no reason to go guess-and-check. For those who prefer games with large save files, or just love having as many games as possible, there is the option to purchase a 20, 40, 60 or 80 GB hard drive for additional storage.
Unlike its competition, the PlayStation 3 UK comes with rechargeable batteries. With the other systems, the ability to recharge the remotes comes at an additional cost. On the subject of cost, it’s important to note that the cost of a PS3 game is roughly £40.00, which is exceptional in a business where the average game can cost at least £10 more than that. Recently, gamers had even more to celebrate as the price of this gaming system was reduced in both the UK and the US, and in several other places as well. In fact, the price of the PS3 in the UK has dropped to £249.99, putting this system at the low end of the latest generation of gaming systems. That discount gives gamers even more reasons to buy PS3 UK.
The PlayStation 3 Store is one of the few online marketplaces that caters to people looking for new games and not just those interested in “classic” titles. Although there were some initial concerns with the PlayStation 3 internet, true to its history of customer service, Sony has made great strides and the PS3 internet is now top notch. Pioneering speed is very useful when downloading music and game information from your PS3 console to your PSP from a remote location. Last but not least, you should consider the games themselves. The PlayStation 3 hosts some of the best games on the market, including Metal Gear Solid 4 and Gran Turismo, which is considered the best racing game series of all time.
