lair and ps3 impressions

lair preview

Impressive looking game for sure, and it will be released upon us all later this year.

so, now that we´ve had our ps3 for a few weeks, how do i feel about it?

Well, it´s a media center gem, a household cornerstone if you so feel, but dont fool yourself and settle with just using it as a console.

Sure it can play games, and it does one hell of a job doing it aswell, so by all means, it is a console, it´s in my eyes, the best console, with the xbox 360 on a close second place.

Which one you´ll pick up just for the games, comes down to exactly that, the games, but if you do have a pc at home, the choice´s easy, ps3 all the way, why?

Because, xbox will primarly get your usual pc games, nothing wrong with that, i love my pc, but why have two things playing the same kind of game when you could have a pc and a ps3, giving you the best of two worlds.

Anyway, both the xbox 360 and the playstation 3 kicks ass as far as gaming goes, they are both just that good.

As far as online stuff, browsing, music, movies and wireless enjoyment goes tho, nothing will touch your ps3, just how it is.

Browsing is a gem on a real hd tv, and reading textual content far surpasses the experience you´ll get on a pc.. the one downside is that it´s not as userfriendly typing stuff and swapping between tabs, but it´s a great solution when my gf wants to read up on some heavy ass online doc´s.

Music: we´re ripped our entire cd collection and moved our mp3´s from our pc to our ps3, just because it´s so smooth and easy to use, even tho media player 11 is excellent, firing up your ps3 and your home theater system to enjoy some quality music is much better.

Oh, moving your mp3´s from your pc to your ps3 is a breeze if you have a wireless network at home.

Movies: well, this one aint as smooth as music, atleast not yet.
If all your playing is your dvd´s,blue-ray movies and hdr movies/tv shows from your digital box/hd tv, well, that´s a no brainer, perfectly working, with much better quality then any previous dvd player i´ve seen, and actually better then any stand alone blue-ray player i´ve seen.

Big thumbd up for that part, and of course, that´s the most important part of movie playback capabilitys as far as the majority goes.

The one thing that´s not as smooth tho, is if you´re trying to move, movies and tv shows, from your pc to your ps3, atm, i still havent been able to do so, wireless, moving them on a media tho works just fine, but how fun is that, especialy when you can move your music through the wireless network.

Playstation store: well it gets updated once a week, with new content and features and it and playing games online is free of charge so you cant touch that either, sure xbox´s marketplace has more content.. but duh, it´s been out one year longer aswell + it costs money, so i´ll declare psn the winner here aswell, give it a few more month´s and you´ll see just why.

wireless sixaxis controllers: well big thumbs up, the motion sensor works perfectly and it realy makes you feel, hmmm what´s the big fuzz over the wii one´s, this is just as good.

+ most games just works best with your analog and digital pads. Anyway, the controllers are great and best part is actually them being wireless.
