Amazon.com Product Description
| The fourth generation of hardware released for the PlayStation 3 entertainment platform, the PlayStation 3 250GB system is the next stage in the evolution of Sony's console gaming powerhouse. Loaded with a mix of multimedia features and functions available on earlier PlayStation 3 models, as well as a series of new advancements and refinements, the PlayStation 3 250GB system is destined to push the envelope in the realm of Next-Generation entertainment. What's Under the Hood
As with previous models, the PlayStation 3 250GB system features an IBM "Cell" processor and a co-developed NVIDIA graphics processor that together allow the system to perform two trillion calculations per second. Yet the 250GB system manages to improve on this with its 45nm version of the processor, which although running at the same 60+nm speed as previous PS3 versions, uses less energy. This makes the unit's smaller size and quieter fan possible. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, the 250GB system also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TVs and projectors. (The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience) This console also provides for an extreme sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1. Finally, it features cross connectivity with your PC network and PlayStation Portable (PSP) and its pre-installed, 250GB hard disc drive allows you to save games as well as download content from The Internet. Unlike The some other models of The PlayStation 3, The 250GB system does not offer backwards compatibility. The same functionality now in a smaller, more quiet and energy efficient package

 Not been 6 months September 9, 2010
Sarbjeet Grewal
I will be honest Earlier this summer there seemed to be a shortage of ps3's at the local stores. So I decided to buy from amazon.com. Well for 280 dollars is not a bad price a 120 Gig.. I suppose at the time. However by the end of the summer this product shipped by dundeal which seems to be getting raved reviews sent a ps3 with a defect. Good thing sony had the warranty and I got it back in better shape. Ill be honest same thing happened last time I bought from amazon. Just be careful and like me buy from a store which has guarentees.
Arthritis Sufferers Beware!!! September 7, 2010
Chris McCallum (South Carolina, USA)

As a person who suffers from arthritis, I am not recommending this product or any other game console to anyone. The way you have to hold the controller caused my hands to go completely numb within minutes of starting a game. I tried to ignore the problem for months because I really wanted for the PlayStation 3 to work out for me but I finally gave in and after doing some research, I found that if you are having numbness in you hands like I was, it can cause permanent damage such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other nerve disorders. Anyways I gave it up and I am now back to playing my games on the PC because controlling a game with the keyboard and mouse doesn't effect my hands that way. On a side note, I think Sony is ripping people off with the controllers of the PlayStation 3 because when the battery gets to the point that it won't hold a charge anymore, you have to buy another controller and a new controller costs $55 to $60 bucks depending on where you get it. I did my research on this issue and found that there are replacement batteries that can be ordered but people who ordered them said that what they got didn't fit the controller. Also when you take the controller apart the cheap screws they use to hold it together strip making the controller impossible to be put back together. I contacted Sony about this and their response was that they were sorry for the problem but they don't service the controllers. Anyways after days of thought on the matter I decided to sell the thing, cut my losses and move on.
 PS3 September 6, 2010

After using the Nintendo Wii, decided to go for the PS3 and still impressed by the graphics.
Wii is more fun on certain games, but to watch PS3 is already a treat.

ps3 September 5, 2010
wayne russell (Langley, WA)
Couldn't be happier. This thing is amazing. Did my research and figured if I was going to get a ps3, I wanted the best one for my son I could get. Waited for the price I wanted and got a 250gb for the price of a 120gb.Suggest getting a mic for in game communications.
