Buyer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - * Gaming Plus Bluray DVD Equals A Great Value ...
I purchased the Playstation 3 primarily as a replacement for my HD-DVD player. I already owned an Xbox 360, but there was no question that the PS3 was a great deal when you look at buying a Bluray player. It's like buying a DVD player and getting a gaming system for free! So, being a gamer I also bought a few used games to try out as well. I have been very happy with the system, and I do like some of the features Sony has built in such as the wireless connectivity right out of the box. I went ahead and updated the system to the newest firmware as soon as it was hooked up. That is a HUGE benefit for any device, but especially a Bluray Player since they will continue to add features, etc... I was never a "fanboy" of the 360, but I had owned an original Xbox (no issues for me!) and then bought an Xbox 360 (RROD on the first one - replaced free). I have noticed now that I am buying new games on the PS3 platform instead of the 360. I am now thinking that since most games come out on both systems, I can get rid of my 360 and save some space and make few hundred dollars as well. So, I have found the Playstation3 makes me happy as both a movie buff and a gamer, and I can't ask for much more than, so if you are looking for a bluray player, the PS3 is a great buy, and if you are looking for a gaming system, the PS3 is a great buy. I think that about sums it up :-)



Buyer Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great, but not the best
Because I have owned both a PS3 and an Xbox 360, this review will mainly focus on those two systems. The Wii is somewhat in its own category as it targets an entirely different audience.

GRAPHICS:
The PS3 is obviously a powerful graphics machine, but the 360 seems to do just as well in this category despite its less powerful hardware. I don't see a noticeable difference even on a HDTV, especially now that both systems come with HDMI.

HARDWARE & RELIABILITY:
The PS3 definitely wins here. The 360 is notorious for its hardware failures, although the new version is much improved. Despite this, nothing can compete with Sony's hardware.

VALUE:
The PS3 wins on this as well. As of writing this, the PS3 40 GB is $399 and the Xbox 360 20 GB is $299. For $100 more, you get a larger hard drive, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a Blu-ray player.

BLU-RAY:
The PS3 does have Blu-ray, which has won the format war with HD DVD. However, I don't think disc media is going to be around much longer anyway. I believe the real future in high-definition video is larger hard drives and the ability to download movies and videos directly to your console, which the 360 seems to be focusing on. It is worth noting that Netflix is going to make streaming videos available on the 360 in the fall of 2008.

MEDIA MANAGEMENT:
I think both systems are equally well-equipped. I don't consider Blu-ray to be a huge selling point because I don't believe it has as much of a future as online video streaming and downloading. Considering that both systems' hard drives are expandable, there are endless possibilities with this.

GAMES:
This is one area where the PS3 is lacking. Yes, there are plenty of good games on the PS3, but few of them are exclusives. I wasn't particularly impressed with Metal Gear Solid 4. The 360 does have some excellent exclusives and definitely is the winner in the games category.

CONTROLLER:
The 360 controller is quite a bit more ergonomic than the PS3 controller. The PS3 controller's triggers are not positioned as well for use with the index fingers, and the two analog sticks are too close together for people with large hands.

ONLINE PLAY:
The PS3's online service cannot compare with Xbox Live. However, it is free, so it is better for those who are not as focused on online gameplay.

OVERALL:
Yes, the PS3 is a great system and a great value, but all things considered, I like my 360 better. The games are more fun, the online experience is unmatched, and the controller design is great. I believe Sony focused a little too much on the PS3's capabilities and not quite enough on the overall gaming experience.



Buyer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sony PS3 Review
WOW! As a PC gamer my response to this PS3 is "It's Awesome!" I like how it can stand up like a tower and also be placed flat during game play (did I mention that it looks great with that shiny black finish?); also love the buttonless touch for on/off and eject functions on the console. . LOVE the BLURAY quality; the 1080p is easy to love, once you play 1080 you will find yourself unsatisfied with anything less--it will spoil you, so be careful! The game play is silky smooth--it's like playing on a super-fast personal computer with the best of cutting edge graphix and not having to wait for the disk drive to engage. I RECOMMEND THE PS3 TO ANY PC GAME LOVER! The only thing is that it comes with one controller, and it's an awesome one at that!! It's a wireless-capable, tilt-sensitive "Sixaxis" Sony controller-for those of you who are used to playing with the keyboard, comfort and familiarity will come in time and experience--you've gotta try the racing games! I plan on buying a second Sixaxis for the 2 player games--LOVE the wireless controller! Overall rating, 10 out of 10!



Buyer Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - * PS3 (40 GB) Caution!!! ...
My PS3 was bought in November 07, only used for blu-ray movies a few of times, This one frozed and quit playing while watching a Blu-ray movie. Afterwards, it would not recognize any discs (games, DVDs, Blu-rays). They have a serius problem with the blu ray drive...



Buyer Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not Reliable
I have two PS3s (one upstairs, one downstairs). The first one was bought in November and went bad in June. Problem: It would not output to screen every now and then. Must wait for about 6-8 hours before it would work again.
Now, the second PS3 from upstairs just went out. Was sent in last week due to the Blu-ray drive not being able to recognize any discs. I'm having the same issue as one of the reviewers described. This PS3 was purchased in February, so it's not that long ago.
I really don't think the PS3 is reliable. Statistically speaking, this is not good to have two PS3s fail within EIGHT months! BEWARE USERS!!

When The Grapes of Wrath was published in 1939, America, still recovering from the Great Depression, came face to face with itself in a startling, lyrical way. John Steinbeck gathered the country's recent shames and devastations--the Hoovervilles, the desperate, dirty children, the dissolution of kin, the oppressive labor conditions--in the Joad family. Then he set them down on a westward-running road, local dialect and all, for the world to acknowledge. For this marvel of observation and perception, he won the Pulitzer in 1940.

The prize must have come, at least in part, because alongside the poverty and dispossession, Steinbeck chronicled the Joads' refusal, even inability, to let go of their faltering but unmistakable hold on human dignity. Witnessing their degeneration from Oklahoma farmers to a diminished band of migrant workers is nothing short of crushing. The Joads lose family members to death and cowardice as they go, and are challenged by everything from weather to the authorities to the California locals themselves. As Tom Joad puts it: "They're a-workin' away at our spirits. They're a tryin' to make us cringe an' crawl like a whipped bitch. They tryin' to break us. Why, Jesus Christ, Ma, they comes a time when the on'y way a fella can keep his decency is by takin' a sock at a cop. They're workin' on our decency."

The point, though, is that decency remains intact, if somewhat battle-scarred, and this, as much as the depression and the plight of the "Okies," is a part of American history. When the California of their dreams proves to be less than edenic, Ma tells Tom: "You got to have patience. Why, Tom--us people will go on livin' when all them people is gone. Why, Tom, we're the people that live. They ain't gonna wipe us out. Why, we're the people--we go on." It's almost as if she's talking about the very novel she inhabits, for Steinbeck's characters, more than most literary creations, do go on. They continue, now as much as ever, to illuminate and humanize an era for generations of readers who, thankfully, have no experiential point of reference for understanding the depression. The book's final, haunting image of Rose of Sharon--Rosasharn, as they call her--the eldest Joad daughter, forcing the milk intended for her stillborn baby onto a starving stranger, is a lesson on the grandest scale. "'You got to,'" she says, simply. And so do we all. --Melanie Rehak

Norton Confidential safeguards against online identity theft, protecting your confidential information from fraudulent phishing Web sites and crimeware before login, purchase, or any online interaction. Norton Confidential protects you when you’re most vulnerable: at a Web site while banking or shopping online, and about to submit passwords, account numbers, or other confidential information.

Norton Confidential automatically inspects Web sites—and potentially dangerous or identity-stealing programs on your PC—for known threats and suspicious behavior before you log in, make a purchase, or otherwise interact with them. If a threat is detected, Norton Confidential protects your passwords and other confidential information from an attack—such as getting phished by fraudulent Web sites, or having your keystrokes secretly recorded by identity thieves.


When you visit a Web site on the Internet, domain servers translate the domain name into an IP addresses. View larger.

In a pharming scam, a criminal programer hacks into a domain server and sends you to a fake Web site, which could trick you into submitting a username and password. To prevent pharming, Norton Confidential gives you a visual confirmation that a Web page has been verified as belonging to the company represented. View larger.

Anti-Phishing Fraudulent Web Site Protection
Norton Confidential includes an Internet Explorer Toolbar Plug-in that helps you to see Web page risk status at any time. The software filters and blocks phishing Web sites to help ensure you do not inadvertently give personal information to a fraudulent site. Norton Confidential provides a visual categorization for authentic sites, good sites, suspicious sites, and bad sites, making it easy for you to know status as you shop and browse online.

Anti-Pharming Protection
In addition to blocking fraudulent or suspicious sites, Norton Confidential authenticates top banking and shopping transaction sites to provide a global multi-layer shielding protection. You'll get a visual confirmation that a Web page has been verified by Symantec as belonging to the company represented—or in simple terms, the site is really who it says it is.

Signature and Behavioral Crimeware Blocking
Norton Confidential protects users from hidden crimeware designed to steal confidential or personally identifying information. While detecting and removing known threats, there is minimal disruption for the user—Norton Confidential works in the background. Norton Confidential is designed to coexist with Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security in addition to competitive antivirus and Internet security solutions. Even if you already use one layer of computer protection, Norton Confidential adds another layer of protection, specifically for online threats with financial damage potential.

InfoVault Login and Password Protection
Norton Confidential automatically detects, stores and protects your logins and passwords. You can then use one "master" password instead of countless individual Web site logins; individual passwords and protected by the master password. Norton Confidential prevents users from inadvertently sending password and login information to unauthorized sites, and provides convenient way to migrate stored passwords from Norton Password Manager.

A Real-time Integrated Solution
Norton Confidential is one of the only fully integrated solution that protects against both phishing and crimeware at the point of transaction. Most solutions provide protection against one vector requiring users to "piece together" their safety status and/or are not "transaction sensitive".

Intelligent Prevention
Norton Confidential uses advanced heuristics to provide zero-hour protection from online identity theft without requiring known phishing URLs or crimeware definitions. Other solutions rely heavily on signatures, which are insufficient for protection from quickly evolving threats.

Effortless Protection
Norton Confidential is the only solution that allows you to complete their transactions uninterrupted by offering behavior blocking technology that prevents suspicious applications from capturing sensitive information.

For Your Eyes Only
Password protection prevents you from accidentally submitting your passwords to unauthorized sites—providing a failsafe against emerging phishing attacks.

Symantec Response Expertise
Norton Confidential is the only consumer security solution that authenticates secure Web sites and does so without requiring the Web sites to make any changes to their sites. Symantec Response team on-going Web site profiling delivers in-depth protection for popular banking, shopping and eCommerce sites.
