Review: Fun for the Whole Family - Let me give a little bit of background before diving into a review. When the original NES came out, I was hooked. I didn't think anything could be better than Super Mario Bros. Then there was the Sega Genesis...and as I entered college, the original Playstation. Wow! After college I settled down, got married, had children, and stopped playing games for a while. Just 2 years ago I picked up a wii "for the family" and have enjoyed it since. Mario Galaxy 2 looks great and is a great deal of fun to play...and there are other great games on the wii as well. For the record, I'd never played a PS2, PS3 or Xbox. Don't get me wrong, the wii is great. There are a number of wii exclusives that I love. But I was still wanting something with some better graphics/games and thus began my research between xbox and ps3. Both are great systems! This was going to be harder than I thought. In the end, I felt like the game selection for the PS3 slightly outweighed that of the xbox for the family. The PS3 has LittleBigPlanet and Ratchet and Clank, as well as Uncharted/Metal Gear/etc. And while the xbox has some great exclusives as well, I was leaning toward the PS3. When I saw that the PS3 slim increased the hard drive from 120gb to 160gb I finally bit the bullet. I was wanting to get a blu-ray player sometime so I figured I'd just get the ps3. Just set it up last night. Set-up was a breeze and the graphics, wow, they truly are stunning. As I said, the wii is great and I'll continue to play and enjoy wii-exclusive games, but compared to xbox/ps3 graphics, there really is no comparison. I'm really looking forward to NHL 11 and Gran Turismo 5 (as the wii is lacking in these types of games). Overall, I'm thrilled with the PS3. I'm looking forward to getting my music and other media files loaded onto it and finally beginning the world of blu-ray movies and advanced gaming. While I do wish I could load files to it from a device formatted to something other than FAT, it's certainly not a deal-breaker. The PS3 works as it should, set-up is simple, has free online, great exclusive games, and so much more. Whether or not it's the right choice for you is up for you to decide. The Xbox is also a great system, but I'm happy with my final decision. Note: Extras you may need: - Extra controller, PS3 blu-ray remote control, and an hdmi or set of component cables depending on your video capabilities. Review: 160 GB version - streams better than old model PS3 not just more GB - Previously owned an 80GB first generation PS3 that developed an eject disk problem and so it was wiped and passed on to a friend who felt confident in taking it apart and messing with it to repair. Meanwhile we upgraded to the new 160 GB. We seldom if ever game anymore. We use the PS3 to stream Netflix, watch blue ray movies, and view photo slideshows on a larger screen than the computer. This is why we opted for the 160 GB model. If we were gaming a lot still we'd probably go with the larger. This new Playstation streams Netflix very very smoothly and I'd say loads better than the old one did. The old model seemed to seize up/have to do a lot of "loading". I at first thought it was our internet service despite its being 10 mbps and pinging/speed testing at those speeds routinely. This is what tech support for your streaming service and device (not your ISP's support!) will insist is your problem. "It is clearly due to the quality of the service from your ISP, we detect no problems on our end" blah blah blah. Then I chalked it up to Netflix itself being crappy or having a lot of demand on its servers/peak times. But since we have started using the new PS we have not had a Netflix seize up and when loading does occur it is really fast, happens maybe 3 times at most and not back to back, and does not cause a seize up which it often did on the old PS. In fact repeated back to back "loading" was a sign of imminent seize. So I'm now leaning to it being a device issue, sorry Sony. Please note that on both models we have had virtually nothing saved on the hard drive and I at one point completely wiped and reset the old PS HD to factory and went thru set-up all over again, fresh and clean so we know that is not the problem. It also loads up blue ray DVD's, firmware upgrades, and blue ray data upgrades a whole lot faster than the old model. So again I gotta think it is the device, the new model's processor is much improved. Other pluses: The dull coating on the outside is not a dust and fingerprint magnetic like the old model. It seems to run a lot cooler than the old model. Heat is never good for electronics! It's smaller and lighter than the old model. It's not as noisy as the old model. Only cons: HDMI cable falls out the back somewhat easily. If you have sound but a black screen - take a peek and see if the cable fell out. Duh. This has been the case for us twice now, usually after someone has cleaned/dusted around the PS. Wish desertcart and Sony would get together so we could stream from Prime to the PS3!!!!!! ## Features - IBM Cell processor and a co-developed NVIDIA graphics processor - Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1 - PlayStation 3 utilizes the Blu-ray disc media format - The Dualshock 3 wireless controller(one controller) included with The PlayStation 3 - HDMI + Bravia Synch functionality ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003VUO6H4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,568 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #14 in PlayStation 3 Consoles | | Brand Name | PlayStation | | Color | white | | Connectivity Technology | Ethernet | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (3,618) | | Input Device | Controller, Joystick | | Item Weight | 230 Grams | | Manufacturer | Sony Computer Entertainment | | Manufacturer Part Number | 98423 | | Memory Storage Capacity | 160 GB | | Model Name | Sony Vaio S Series 13P | | Model Number | 711719841807" or "027242263420 | | Platform | PlayStation 3 | | Resolution | 1080p | | UPC | 711719483502 711719842309 711719841807 027242263420 | | Wireless Communication Technology | WiFi | ## Images ![PlayStation 3 160GB System - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/913NX4wsP9L.jpg) ![PlayStation 3 160GB System - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811gP7HYnUL.jpg) ![PlayStation 3 160GB System - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91hoF3+eUuL.jpg) ![PlayStation 3 160GB System - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91GbDWslxgL.jpg) ![PlayStation 3 160GB System - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/914N1OH-9OL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there a warranty** A: Well if I'm not mistaken,I think there's a warranty you can get from the store but I believe that is only available if you purchase a brand new ps3 & it has to be within a year too. Ima check to make sure though **Q: Does the used Amazon warehouse deal include the cables and controller? thanks in advance** A: Mine did, depends on the seller, read the description. **Q: Is this work in Power 110V ???** A: PS3 systems use global power supplies, so yes, even if it came from somewhere that does not use that voltage. **Q: Does it come with a power cord and controler?** A: Hi! It did come with a power cord and controler. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun for the Whole Family *by M***S on August 21, 2010* Let me give a little bit of background before diving into a review.

Years ago, I had an XBox, loved Knights of the Old Republic on it, but hardly played anything else. Eventually I sold it to a friend. But this year we decided to get a new TV, and not only did the Sony Bravia make the top of the list of candidates for us, back during Cyber-Week, Amazon was offering BOTH the 3D accessory starter kit AND a Playstation 3 for free. Due to delivery scheduling, we got the PS3 before the television, so I hooked it up and began playing a few games with it -- at first just a few freebies from the PS3 network. Then, realizing I was having fun, I got a couple more, including LittleBigPlanet. When the TV finally arrived, it was like the two were made for each other, the Sony Bravia NX810 and the PS3. One thing Sony knows is product integration. Anyway, there are better PS3-oriented bundles out there, and more powerful models, and no, we don't (yet?) have the PS3 Move accessory, but what there is was way more than we expected from a promotional offer. Pros: - Excellent out-of-box experience and pain-free set-up. - Nice wireless rumble & tilt-equipped controller (wish it came with 2 though) - Much faster in loading DVDs and blu-ray discs than our older Sony blu-ray player. - Picture quality (1080p) is amazing. - The PS3's 3D capabilities are also really great. Cons: - While blue-tooth makes for a nice controller, it makes for a lousy remote control set-up and impossible therefore to use a universal remote unless you have extra hardware to do the translating. Still, one can get a PS3 blu-ray player style remote for under $20, so it's not so bad. - Sometimes integration can go too far, in that I can't always tell when I'm operating the TV or the PS3. - Buying the unit straight out, one can find better bundle deals or more powerful models than this. Recommendations: - Do use the HDMI output for maximum quality. It's a must-use if you're going to play 3D games or movies on the PS3. - Broadband internet suggested to get the most out of the online functions, as well as for software updates. - If you add 3D capabilities to your TV -after- having set up and running the PS3, you'll need to enable these functions on the PS3 video settings, otherwise the PS3 will claim there's no 3D hardware available, even if you've already done the firmware update. - If you recently bought a new Sony internet-capable TV, check the documentation for fliers and such. I found among ours an offer for several free downloadable 3D games. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1373760-playstation-3-160gb-system](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1373760-playstation-3-160gb-system) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
