Amazon.com Product Description:
As DVD playback made the PlayStation 2 more than just a game machine, hefty multi-media features make the Sony PlayStation 3 an even more versatile home entertainment machine. Features such as video chat, Internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video will likely make it the central component of your media set-up. Still, it is first and foremost a game console--and a powerful one at that.

Under the Hood
The PS3 features IBM's "Cell" processor and a co-developed Nvidia graphics processor that makes the system able to perform two trillion calculations per second. That's approximately 320 times more calculations per second than the PS2. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, it also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TV and projectors. The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience.

PlayStation 3 is a powerful gaming and home entertainment machine.
Blu-Ray is the New Way
Sony's PlayStation 3 games are encoded onto the Blu-Ray disc media format, which can hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This increase in capacity, combined with the awesome power of its processor and graphics card, promises mind-blowing games once developers have learned how to fully harness the new console's power. The PS3 will also support CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats.

In addition, PlayStation 3 system software update version 2.20 and up includes BD Live support. With this you can now play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE) and you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format so that you can obtain additional features. Features that are available vary depending on the software in use.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is included with this Sony PlayStation 3 bundle pack. The game begins with a 400-year-old clue found in the coffin of famed explorer, Sir Francis Drake. The clue sends modern-day fortune hunter, Nathan Drake, on a quest to find the fabled treasure of El Dorado, leading to the discovery of a long forgotten island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The expedition turns deadly when Drake's party becomes stranded on an island and hunted by modern day pirates. Outnumbered and outgunned, Nathan must fight to survive and unravel the terrible secrets of the mysterious island.

Adventure, Mystery, and Exploration Abound
Using maps and ancient artifacts you'll uncover clues and unravel mysteries that will reveal a forgotten island a lost treasure. This uncharted world is alive with intrigue and mystery, and you'll revel in the amazing graphics as you explore exotic locations and traverse through living jungles and 400-year-old ruins. Drake's not all on his own -- his companions and allies play an important role in the adventure through cooperative gameplay mechanics, gun play, and exploration.

Action-Packed gameplay
Your abilities will be tested, challenge after challenge, as you struggle to stay alive by any means necessary. Thrilling high-speed chases over land and water and terrifying gunfire will keep you on the edge of your seat. And if that's not enough, you'll need to employ an array of hand-to-hand combat moves to keep your enemies off balance with haymaker punches and running drop-kicks.

Charming, exciting, and adventure-packed, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is an excellent addition to this Sony PlayStation 3 game console bundle.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - PS3 160 gb is one amazing system I highly recommend!
I originally wrote a review on the 60 gb PS3 right after it launched in November, 2006. Like the original 60 gb PS3 the 160 gb is almost as good once you get past its few flaws. I have to say the SONY Playstation 3 is one amazing system. As for the games we are finally starting to see the true potential of this amazing system. The motion sensor Bluetooth controls are great and unlike the original PS3 we now get the dual shock control after Sony settled a legal patent battle. You get an amazing blu-ray player that is future proof thanks to the system being able to receive firmware updates via the web. If you have a 1080p HDTV you will be amazed at the picture quality which is up to six times more detailed than DVD. You also get theater quality sound and picture that DVD, cable, satellite HD, and even apple TV just can't touch because of their bandwidth limitations . If you have standard DVDs the PS3 upscales them to 1080p which brings all your DVDs to life. Don't expect blu-ray quality from watching DVDs, but do expect them to look much better and sharper because they are being upscaled to look better on your HDTV. I like the fact that the system has online connectivity and that it also has a built in browser should you just want to surf the internet. Most of all I like the fact that you get built in wi-fi. if you all ready have internet access you just have to set this up with your wi-fi router, or if your lucky enough you might be able to pick up free wi-fi if you don't have internet access. You can download your favorite music/videos to the ps3 hard drive and if available online it will display the artist names and songs. You can even connect a USB keyboard (along with almost any type of USB device) to make surfing the internet faster and more enjoyable. With the recently launched Playstation Store you can play demos, download classic PS1 and PS2 (and some new PS3 games) games, get wallpapers, and watch blu-ray and new movie trailers. With the new virtual world Home you can create a virtual character and explore the virtual world. If your friends have a PS3 you can meet them in home and Play virtual Pool, bowling, or invite them in to a PS3 game to play with you. You can rent movies (some in HD) from an always growing catalog and purchase many of them. The things that this new PS3 lacks from the original 60 gb model is SACD support, it only has 2 USB vs. the 4 on the original. The top left part of this PS3 doesn't open up like the old one because this one lacks the memory card slots. The good thing is that this PS3 is so much quieter than the original 60 gb because it uses a smaller chip which now makes it use less electricity. That was my biggest annoyance with the original PS3 was that it got a bit loud sometimes when watching movies or playing games which I felt a bit distracting. This new model is as quit as a mouse. I love the fact that the 160 gb will give me much more space for my movies, pictures and videos downoads. You get a great game called Uncharted Drakes Fortune which shows' the amazing graphics of the PS3. You also get a downloadable game voucher called Pain, plus double the memory of the current 80 gb models. With video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video the PS3 will likely be your home entertainemnt centerpiece. I have to say I am very happy with giving the Playstation 3 a chance and I highly recommend it for anyone who appreciates a great game system with some awesome entertainment features. This system may be lacking some of the original PS3 60 gb features, but it is still one awesome entertainment powerhouse that I highly recommend!!!

Here are some must have accessories for the PS3
Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote
PlayStation 3 Wireless keypad


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - PS3 and the package
The game and blue ray system works great together. The game that came with the system, Drakes Fortune, is a fun and challenging game for a newby. I love the transition between controlled scenes and video. One note, check your ads at Target and Walmart for low prices on PS3 games. I found Target had a sale on some of the PS3 games such as Call of Duty- World at War for $39 and I was able to get it at Walmart as a price match(local store). Anyway, love the system.

What can I say. I bought this for my grandsons and they have not stopped playing except to eat and I am not sure about sleeping.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Amazing Package
I recieved the 160 GB for Christmas and I must say that I was ecstatic from the second I turned it on to the minute I turned it off. The 160 Gigs is more than enough space, and the console supports full internet capabilities.

Packaged with the PS3 is the hit Action/Adventure title "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune." This game is an excellent addition to an already phenomenal deal, and is a great starter game for the PS3, as it really shows the power of Blu-Ray that the machine boasts. The crisp textures, Vibrant colors, and cohesive storyline filled with non-stop thrills will ensure that any fan who has this as their only game, will not be bored.

Registering with Playstation Network is fast and easy. The newest feature to the online is the hit "Home" which has you creating an avatar and doing whatever you please throughout multiple virtual locations.

The asking price may seem a bit steep for some, but you get more than enough content to counter-balance it. You can't go wrong with this package. Whether it be for a loved one, or a child, they will most likely fall in love with the PS3.
