June 27, 2009 – 10:29 am
Choosing a game console is not an easy choice, there are so many reviews in the media that conflict with one another. One good way of finding out about which one to choose is to have play on one of the model versions they have in most toy or game stores. Here in this article we look at some of the best reviews of consoles we have found including Xbox 360 review and PlayStation, so you do not have to spend large amounts of time wondering which console would suit you.
Sony PlayStation 3
Out of all of the mainstream consoles currently available, Sony’s PlayStation 3 is the most expensive because not only is it a console but it contains a blu-ray DVD optical drive, hard drive, HD video output and Wi-Fi wireless networking. Sony are attempting to set up the PS3 as an alternative to the PC, the PS3 has its own flash and memory cards so the console is capable of holding photos. With a USB keyboard, mouse available and web browser this games console is a great idea for those that are serious about their gaming and happy to start using it as a PC.
Microsoft XBox 360
The Xbox 360 review is slightly different to the PS3; this console uses a standard DVD drive and only includes a hard drive and wireless game controller in its premium version. Microsoft have recently updated the 360 so it can provide support for full HD. Xbox is not trying to become a PC alternative, within Xbox 360 review it is clear that Microsoft pair it with their Windows Media Centre, allowing the console to be connected to the PC creating a media extender that will stream music and images.
Nintendo Wii
The last console review we have looked at is the Nintendo Wii, which is the least expensive console in comparison to its other contenders. It does include both Bluetooth for its wireless controllers and DVD drive, although it cannot play DVD movies. It also unlike the other two lacks a hard drive. Instead the Wii is focuses on physically involving games using the wireless controllers. The Wii remote uses accelerometers to sense how players swing, point and tilt the controller encouraging the game activity. This console is far suited to someone who ones their game console to just be that and not try to take on any other jobs such as trying to replace a PC or hard drive.
