There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The controller is lighter than what I am used too, but after playing for a couple hours I got used to it. I was a little worried about my controller running out of battery, because you have to charge it to your system, but it holds its charge well! I took it to work one day and charged it via PC, it showed no indication that it was charging except some flashing that had eventually stopped, I came home to find out that it had gotten a full charge.
While I do like the PS3, I won't be upgrading to PS4, I prefer my Xbox. It's nice to know that I have the option of playing PS3 games again.

As for the actual build of the machine, it in no way seems flimsy or cheaply made. The casing is solid, the connectors firm and it all looks fairly sleek. The lid slides right to left, to reveal the disc holder and laser. This is probably the most vulnerable part of the console because it requires you to open and close it yourself ( although it will spring open at a touch of the release button ) It is probably less likely to break than a motorised tray or a slot loading device, so long as you treat it with respect.
Next the "noise". Virtually silent on my console. Occasionaly hear the disc spin, but that's it. Hard drive also quiet.
This is my first PS3 and I have never owned an X-Box 360.
It is great.
It is worth the money.
I will also use it to watch blu-ray disks.
