5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing console and game!, 30 April 2008
By G. Harvey (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This is perhaps one of the best consoles ever, it is well rounded, fast, easy to use, intuitive, good build quality and just incredible.

Perhaps one of the most useful features is its wireless capability, not only with the WiFi enabling online gaming quickly, but also networking your PS3 as a media console able to access music from your PC and play it in your anywhere. Added to this is the wireless controllers which to me is a god send as I have two dogs who always used to pull the cable out when they walked past with the PS2! Wireless controllers not only stops this, but much more freedom in movement and just easier.

GT5 is an incredible game, perhaps slightly limited on gameplay but this is more than made up for in the fantastic online environment and graphics which are breath-taking.

I would recommend also getting Burnout Paradise with this for the extra £15, as this is an awesome game, less serious in driving style than GT5 but the graphics are just as mind-blowing.

This console is best enjoyed in HD, so if you have a HD TV then sit back and enjoy HD gaming out of the box and Blu-Ray DVD.

This deal is the best on the internet right now, I stalled buying the console until prices became a little more reasonable (less than £300) and then when i saw this deal with console, GT5, HDMI cable and another game for £305 delivered, i just could not resist it. Amazon service was brilliant as per usual the whole package coming within 48 hours.

5* to the console, 5* to the game and 5* to Amazon.

Buy it, now.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to new buyers!, 16 April 2008
By Mr. M. J. Cullum - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
For a long time I was unsure whether to get an XBox 360 elite or a PS3 due to the high prices, I didn't want to end up feeling I have wasted my money. But when this offer came up, I did research to find anything cheaper and couldn't.

So with the simplicity of just plugging it in and playing straight away instead of having to buy extra hard drives and stuff like the xbox, I chose this and haven't regretted it one bit.

Even though I don't like driving games, I am just blown away by the graphics and the smoothness of the game, I play it to see whatever it offers and actually started to like the game!

So if you are deciding whether to get it or not because of GT5 then my opinion is, from being in that same position, get it and just enjoy the latest technology the world has to offer!
