Purchase Playstaion 3 - How to Save Money

playstation 3
If you're going to Purchase Playstation 3 you're in for a real treat. This is a fantastic gaming system at a great price. This bad boy doesn't just play games, it also has a built in Blu-Ray player. Other gaming consoles can't even come close to this feature.

One of the hardest things to do is to figure out where you can get your Playstation 3. The days of the shortage are gone, but that doesn't mean there aren't millions of people out there looking for one. If you want to make sure you get yours it's best to do so soon.

You could hop into your car and go to an EB Games or similar store near your house. They might have what you're looking for, but that can be a real pain! It costs a lot of gas and takes a lot of time to shop locally. A much better way to get your Playstation 3 is to shop online.

One of the best stores is Amazon. They have pretty much everything you would ever want to buy including an immense video game collection. Another good thing is that they offer free shipping. You do have to be extra careful because there are stores signed on with Amazon and it is easy to accidentally buy from them and you won't get the free shipping.

Beyond Amazon you will definitely want to check out eBay. eBay is absolutely the hands down best place to get your Playstation 3 console. You can find new and used models there for super cheap.

It is very surprising that more people don't buy their gaming gear from eBay. It's very easy to use and sign up and it can save you a lot. Remember, the more you save when you buy a console the more games you'll be able to get.

It is really safe to buy on eBay as well. The sellers have feedback that lets you know if there were any problems with them in the past. There is also a certain amount of protection when you buy Playstation 3. That is comforting to know with a large purchase like this one.

Make sure you surf through the different listings in the eBay games section. You'll find a lot of good deals there and you need to find the one that is right for you. You will notice that the prices are a lot less than you'd pay in the store. It is amazing how many good deals there are!

If you're going to purchase Playstation 3 it's a good idea to figure out where you're going to buy. Don't waste your time with stores that overcharge you, because shopping online is what really works. eBay is your best bet overall.

You can find an all in one place eBay shop at Video Game Bargains. There is really no better place to Purchase Playstation 3 today!

All About Playstation 3

Fasten your seatbelt and get set for the ultimate entertainment explosion!

Playstation-3 is a gaming experience that is beyond anything known today. It is a computer entertainment system that unleashes a brilliant, high-definition entertainment experience which is incomparable. It delivers the next generation of interactive entertainment.

Playstation-3 is the third home video game console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment. A major feature, that sets it apart from its predecessors, is its unified online gaming service, the PlayStation Network. Other main features of the console include its huge multimedia capabilities, connectivity with the playstation portable and its use of a next generation optical media, blu-ray disc, as its primary storage medium.

There are models of four types that are usually referred to by the size of their included hard disc drive; 20, 40, 60 and 80 gigabyte models. All retail packages include one or two six axis controllers, a video/stereo audio, a power cable, a USB cable, output cable, and an ethernet cable(20, 60 and 80GB only).

Numerous accessories for the console have been developed for the system, including the wireless six axis controller, the BD remote, the playstation eye camera and the upcoming play TV DVB-T tuner/digital video recorder. The system has bluetooth 2.0, gigabit ethernet, USB 20 and HDMI 1.3a built-in on all models. Wi-Fi networking is also built-in on the 40, 60 and 80GB models while a flashcard reader (which is compatible with memory stick, SD/MMC and compact flash/micro drive media) is built-in on 60 and 80GB models.

The playstation-3 version of the `Xross Media Bar` includes nine categories of options. These include users, settings, photo, music, video, game, network, playstation network and friends. Also it includes the ability to store various master and secondary user profiles, manage and explore photos with or without a musical slide-show, play music and copy audio CD tracks to an attached storage device, play movies and video files from the hard-disk drive, an optional USB mass storage or flashcard, or an optical disc (blu-ray disc or DVD-video), compatibility for a USB keyboard and mouse and a full web browser supporting in/compatible file download function.

The friends menu allows mail with emoticon and attached picture features and video chat which requires an optional playstation eye or eye toy webcam. The network menu allows online shopping through the playstation store.

The 80GB playstation-3 provides ample hard drive storage space for games and other entertainment content from the game network. The free membership in playstation network allows you to play free games online, allows downloading of special content and be in touch with your friends. The inbuilt Wi-Fi allows for flawless connection with your network. It includes hard drive for all photos, music and personal videos.

The six axis wireless controller gives more precision and freedom during game play. The picture quality is pristine with the capability of full high-definition resolution at 1080p. The built-in blu-ray disc drive provides for high-definition games and entertainment.

Sony has also announced the dualshock3, a controller with the same design and function as the six axes, but with vibration capability included. It was released in Japan in november 2007, while a spring 2008 release date has been scheduled for Europe and North America.

The playstation-3, at first, received generally unfavorable reviews like late, expensive and incompatible, but after a series of price drops and the release of several quality titles, the system has begun to garner better reviews. Their motor sport game is wildly popular and their list of games is getting larger and longer.

With its cutting-edge technology, the high-end Sony playstation-3`s larger hard drive and ability to play playstation-2 games makes it a worthwhile alternative to cheaper models.
