Playstation 3 80 GB Trusted Reviews

CNET UK Review of Playstation 3 80GB Edition

"So, is the PS3 worth the money Sony's asking? Yes, we think it is. The advantages the Xbox 360 had in terms of its exclusive games and superb online service are being caught up by Sony, with games such as LittleBigPlanet and the Home service coming soon. On top of that, it remains the best built, best looking and most reliable of the two. And it's still the best value Blu-ray player on the market. With a bigger hard drive, you're getting slightly more for your £300 than before, and while there's little here to warrant an upgrade from the 40GB version, this is the perfect time to buy your first PS3."

techradar.com Playstation 3 80GB Review

"...let's talk about value for money. As previously mentioned, you're getting a lot more than just a games console here. You've also got a future-proof Blu-ray player; a web browser; a music, video and picture viewer; an upscaling DVD player; a social networking hub; and you can even install Linux on it. Plus, this model now comes with a DualShock 3 controller. The PS3 is a brilliant, brilliant games console that will only get better over time. The PSN (PlayStation Network) is not yet up to the standard of Xbox Live, but it's on its way. And as soon as this is brought up to date, the PS3 will surely be the most desirable HD console on the market."
