Sony Premium 60 GB Playstation 3

 

It was surreal on Friday November 17, 2006 a day that will live in infamy for gamers across the USA, to actually lay my hands on a virgin Sony Playstation 3 system. Eager customers waited as long as an entire week, camping outside of stores nationwide...

Can't ask for a better deal!

 

320 Gigs comes down to about 270 or so, so keep that mind!

Now and day, we all wanna save money, trust me, I totally understand, which why I usually look to bundles for some good savings. And you really cant do much better than this when it comes down to it. You are getting the highest end console for the PS3...

At the very least, and this is a legitimate compliant with the PS3 as silly as it sounds, its the L2/R2 Buttons, I have since the day I bought this console have found them to be a complete fail. TRIGGERS ONLY WORK WHEN THE BUTTON IS BIGGER ; Else wise...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Its a PS3

 

Well the world is obsessed with being skinny and that finally spilled over to the ps3, the "fat" ps3 is out and the "slim" is in....what next "slim" jets? "slim" wrecking balls? I don't know only time will tell haha

slim design enables console to fit into many more compact spaces ; the no shine exterior eliminates fingerprint smudges ; no more accidentally touching the eject sensor with my toes while playing before a save haha ; much larger hdd already in it so no...

the gloss is gone which made it look nice ; attracts way to much attention from my daughters (ages 3 and 5) who say it looks cute and they want to touch it

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great deal, get it while it lasts (or until the UC3 bundle comes out)

 

If you're looking for a PS3 and are on the fence about getting the 160GB version or this bundle, I would recommend the bundle. For only $50 more, you're getting an extra game and twice the space. You may think you don't need all that extra room on your...

It's a PS3, so it plays blu-ray discs, games, netflix, and is just a good all-around media center. This version comes with a 320gb hard drive and Infamous 2, which makes it a great value, considering the 160 GB version is only $50 less. This version...

The disc drive is loud when it loads discs. Not really a deal breaker. It runs silently otherwise

Sony PlayStation 3 (60GB) - null- null

 

This is almost the same review I did with the ''slim'' model. Some things are improved and some don't. Still the ''slim'' model is way better and a huge improvement over this model. This ''Fat'' model also have a high failure rate for the Blu-Ray...

Backward compatibility (PS2 & PSX), 2 more USB ports and SD cards inputs, power on/off button behind

Can get really loud, no HDMI cable included, bulky size, gloss finish
