class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Video gaming has been one of the most popular forms of recreation since it became mainstream sometime in the 1980\u2019s. Since then, the means through which these games could be played, apart from the things you could potentially do in a system, and the features of the consoles have pretty much expanded, allowing you to do a lot of things you never imagined possible in a console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While manufacturers of consoles have come and gone through the years, one of those that stayed is Sony. To serve as their flagship gaming console, the PlayStation has come in various iterations through these years, with the latest one being the Sony PlayStation 3 500GB System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Features\"><\/span><strong>Features<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Extra_Slim\"><\/span><strong>Extra Slim<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other consoles that are big, bulky, and heavy, the PlayStation 3 takes pride by being one of the slimmest, yet most optimal functioning ones around. With a width of 11.4 in, depth of 9.1 inches, a height of 2.4 inches, as well as a weight of just a bit over 4 and a half pounds, the PlayStation 3 is just one of the lightest and smallest consoles. It allows you to place it comfortably on any table without having to think about reinforcement, supports, or special containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wireless_Controls\"><\/span><strong>Wireless Controls<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having long wires to connect the console proper to the controllers is a thing of the past. With the PlayStation 3, all the controls are wireless and are battery operated. This allows you to worry less about loose connections, or to think less about ways for you to deal with these long wires. All that\u2019s neededfor the controllers to do their part is the insertion of the battery and the necessary drives. Nothing more, nothing less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Extra_Clear_Graphics\"><\/span><strong>Extra Clear Graphics<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The PlayStation 3 is capable of displaying crisp, clear graphics for television sets regardless of resolution, whether Composite, Component, or HDMI video settings. Having said that, it is capable of displaying graphics for 480i, 480p, up to Full HD at 1080p and 1080i. This is also made possible thanks to the NVIDIA RSX Graphics Processor equipped to the console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n\t\t    \t\t\n\n\t\t    \t\t\n\n\n\n\t\t    \t\t<div class=\"amalinkspro-showcase alignnone apilink yesprime amalinkspro-showcase-4 alp-load-api\" data-alp-showcase-id=\"4\" data-alp-img=\"LargeImage\" data-alp-asin=\"B009DL2TBA\" data-alp-hide-prime=\"\" data-alp-hide-image=\"\" data-alp-hide-price=\"1\" data-alp-hide-button=\"\" style=\"max-width:750px;\">\n\n\t\t    \t\t\t\n\t\t\t    \t\t\t<div class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-stats-col amalinkspro-showcase-stats-col-img\">\n\t\t\t                    <span class=\"alp-showcase-img-wrap enabled-img\">\n\n\t\t\t                    \t\n\t\t\t                    \t\t<!-- <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"amalinkspro-license-loading-gif\" src=\"\/wp-admin\/images\/loading.gif\" alt=\"loading\" \/> -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"alp-showcase-img-link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B009DL2TBA?tag=gcdojo-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/a>\n\n\t\t\t                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t                <\/div>\n\n\t\t                \n\t\t                <div class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-stats-col amalinkspro-showcase-stats-col-info\">\n\t\t                    <a class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-4-titlebox \" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B009DL2TBA?tag=gcdojo-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">PlayStation 3 500 GB System<\/a>\n\t\t                    <div class=\"showcase-4-features\">\n\t\t                    \t\n\t\t                    \t\n\t\t                    \t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"alp-showcase-spec-val-editable\">Your Favorite Franchises Live Here: Dig into a huge catalog of exclusive games, including generation defining titles like The Last of Us and entries in popular franchises like LittleBigPlanet, God of War, Gran Turismo, and UNCHARTED.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"alp-showcase-spec-val-editable\">The Best in Video Streaming Services: Access your favorite HD video streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, HBO GO, and Amazon Instant Video.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"alp-showcase-spec-val-editable\">Watch Movies and Shows in HD: The built-in Blu-Ray disc player brings your movies and shows to life in with stunning visual and sound quality.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"alp-showcase-spec-val-editable\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t                    <\/div>\n\n\t\t                    \n\t\t                <\/div>\n\n\t\t                <div class=\"amalinkspro-clear\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t                <div class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-bottom-cta\">\n\t\t                \t\t\t                \t\t<div class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-bottom-cta-price\"><\/div>\n\t\t                \t\t\t                \t<a class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-bottom-cta-link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B009DL2TBA?tag=gcdojo-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"alp-showcase-amalink-editable\">View on Amazon<\/span><\/a>\n\t\t                \t<div class=\"amalinkspro-clear\"><\/div>\n\t\t                <\/div>\n\n\t\t                <!-- <div class=\"alp-showcase-loader\">\n\t\t                \t<span>\n\t\t\t                \t<i class=\"icon-amalinkspro-spin3 animate-spin\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t                <\/span>\n\t\t                <\/div> -->\n\n\t\t                \n\t\t                \t\n\t\t                \t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"amalinkspro-clear\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t    \t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t    \t\t\n\n\t\t    \t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Support_for_Multiple_Functions\"><\/span><strong>Support for Multiple Functions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes this particular console stand out in the world of gaming consoles is the fact that you can do so much more on the PlayStation 3 than other devices would ever let you. Apart from being able to play its rich roster of games\u2014such as God of War, Uncharted, Little Big Planet, and Gran Turismo, among others\u2014it also has support for Online Video Streaming in High-Definition on sites such as Amazon Instant Video, HBO Go, Hulu, and of course, Netflix. Apart from online video streaming, the PlayStation 3 also doubles as a Blu-Ray CD player, which definitely brings out the beauty in whatever you watch it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros\"><\/span><strong>Pros<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Many_Functions_in_a_Single_Console\"><\/span><strong>Many Functions in a Single Console<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While most consoles are strictly limited to gaming, the Sony PlayStation 3 allows you to do so much more than that. This is because apart from its wide roster of powerhouse console games, it\u2019s also equipped with online streaming capabilities, as well as doubles as a CD player that\u2019s compatible with a huge variety of files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This simply means that apart from playing games, you could also watch your favorite TV series or movies without the need for a separate CD player, or you having to connect your laptop to your television just for you to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Massive_500GB_Storage\"><\/span><strong>Massive 500GB Storage<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great feature that\u2019s a necessityin just about all of the gaming consoles in the market. The massive 500GB internal storage that the PlayStation 3 is equipped with would most definitely allow you to store so many games and save your progress without the lag caused by playing games on devices which internal memory is nearing on full. The PlayStation 3 allows you to experience several months of fun, fast gaming with a quick and responsive interface for months, or even years before you would end up having to clean things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Perfect_for_Single_and_Multiplayer\"><\/span><strong>Perfect for Single and Multiplayer<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having the PlayStation 3 around allows you to either experience the beauty of console gaming by yourself or shared with other people, such as friends and family. For those who have kids at home, having a console like the PS3 is the perfect way to bond with the entire family during idle weekends, either with its extensive selection of games, through watching a movie or favorite series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons\"><\/span><strong>Cons <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_Infrared_Port\"><\/span><strong>No Infrared Port<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having no infrared port severely limits the accessories that could be paired and used in conjunction with the PS3. Instead of the infrared-powered accessories, the only compatible ones are those that make use of Bluetooth connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top-Opening_Disk_Drive\"><\/span><strong>Top-Opening Disk Drive<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a disk drive that opens on top would not make the PS3 a welcome addition in extra narrow spaces, as the cover would need ample space for it to open up and for the disc to be properly placed. The top part of the compartment where you are to put the console ought to be large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternatives\"><\/span><strong>Alternatives<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are not a fan of the Sony Electronics brand, then some of the best options you may have include the Xbox and the Nintendo Wii consoles.
