Go to consolegifts.net and sign up. Complete ONE offer- I would recommend Gala Bingo (you know, the one Sharon Osborne advertises for on tv),as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!). If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.
All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my Ipod and many other things this way, so don't miss out.
I was a sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. BBC approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.

The next generation of gaming has arrived

The 3 way race between Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony is well and truly underway with the Wii, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 respectively fighting for the trophy of best games console. Having had experience playing the Wii and the Xbox 360 I have to say I wasn't too impressed with the Wii and the controller of the Xbox 360 is, in my opinion, too chunky and doesnt even compare to Sony's brilliant controller. Added the fact that you are forced to pay to play online with the Xbox, buying Sony's masterpiece was a no-brainer.
First of all Id like to thank Amazon for a very quick delivery of this item and if you're thinking of buying this console, get it from amazon. The delivery times are excellent and the packaging is top-notch to secure this expensive piece of hardware from damages.
The first impressions you'll have with this is how heavy the playstation is. After connecting the cables up and switching the console on for the first time you'll be delighted to know this console is very quiet and after a quick set-up (and I do mean quick, wont take longer than 10 minutes) you're ready to go.
The set-up guides you through the basics ie. name etc. including optional (but recommended) extras including internet connection and signing up to the Playstation network.
The menu is impressive and if the artwork doesnt take your fancy you can always download new ones (for free) from the playstation network to change the theme of the menu.
However, with all the positives this gem of a console offers, some people may be put off by the hour long system upgrade and installation times of games uploaded onto the harddrive. Regardless, the games are top notch and the options on the menu are overwhelming including a system backup, reformatting the harddrive to improve speed and playing and uploading videos and music onto the console.
Overall, the Playstation 3 is miles ahead of the competition in my opinion and with an excellent controller made even sweeter by the inclusion of rumble and blue-tooth, meaning you can use it wireless, makes this a must-have console for hardware junkies looking for the next big thing.
If anyone's wondering why the Xbox 360 has been reduced to 129.99 this console is the reason why.
With xmas just around the corner, PS3 sales are looking to go up which means big trouble for rival companies but with such an impressive console such as this, its worth every penny.
I want one but!

I still play gt4 on ps2 and it's still a great game.But I will not buy the PS3 until GT5 the full game comes out.If GT5 doesn't come out soon then I might consider XBOX,cos I'm fed up of waiting for a REAL driving game to come out.Come on Sony get your finger out and stop messing us about.
Absolutley rubbish

What more can i say, the PS3 is boring, there aren't any good games and is a waste of money. Buy an Xbox 360 and get much more for your money.
PS3 - Not a Games Console!

So I ummed and ahhed for some time about buying the PS3. Why?
1. Don't have enough time to play Games (full time teacher and Dad to be)
2. Heard it was very noisy (untrue!)
3. Did I really need it?
I have to say since owning it now for some time, it really is a truly remarkable piece of kit. Why?
1. The Blu Ray is fantastic. - Just make sure you buy the Blu Ray remote as it's difficult to convince your other half you haven't just bought a games console when operating the Blu Ray with a joystick! That's £200 saved on buying a decent Blu Ray player then (stand alone players don't upgrade themselves either unlike the PS3).
2. It has integrated wireless so no wires which is dead easy to set up. Make sure you have your WEP handy
3. There is a full media server inside so you can browse all your photos, music, videos via your router and which ever other computers you have in the house. Very important for justifying it to the wife when the wedding pics come up in all their glory on your flatscreen.
4. Use it as a DVD player and it automatically upscales the DVD to make them look even better.
5. It has a good Internet Browser built in and the BBC are shortly bringing the iPlayer to PS3.
6. It is constantly being updated and improved via tried and tested over the air updates.
7. It looks fantastic. All black and shiny like the monoliths from 2001 a Space Odyssey.
8. Noise? What noise?? A barely audible slight, very distant hum on occasion. The XBox360 Elite sounds like one of those small portable vacuum cleaners and is really annoying in comparison.
9. It offers full 1080p playback via my Panasonic flatscreen and looks incredible as a result.
10. The Play TV add on turns it into a full on Personal Video Recorder with upscaling. That's another £150 saved then.
11. Oh -the games. Fantastic. Little Big Planet is beautiful, FIFA '09 is better than watching Spurs (not really an endorsement to buy I suppose :-)) and who needs Lara when you've got Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
12. If 80GB isn't bug enough then... Google PS3 Hard Drive Upgrade. Undo 6 Philips screws, slide out the old Hard Drive and insert a 320GB Notebook one for £60 from Amazon. Now you can back up everything and all those dodgy 80's Student videos you ripped from VHS to DVD!
13. PlayStation Network is improving and is Free. The new Home is just round the corner... downloadable films etc.. social networking etc..etc..
So buy yourself a PS3 and watch it develop into your all in one entertainment centre!
