PlayStation stunna

Today in Sydney was the media and business partner launch of PlayStation 3. Of course some say I may be biased to Sony (Sony Australia is a client of Duke) but I’m also a gadget freak. So when I saw PS3, I was blown away. For me, one word: Winner.

Nay-sayers may talk about the minimal difference in picture quality from DVD to HD but boy are they wrong. High Definition gaming and films looked so good today, soooo good, just stunning. So much better than DVD and SD. Others may say Wii has got it licked but not from where I’m standing… The future is HD. Fact. Get on the HD bus now or later, your call, but you will get on – we all will.

I played MotorStorm and Gran Turismo HD and both were out-of-this-world in all their 1080p glory. Industry people talk about the one game in 1000 that people will actually buy the console to play (way back when it was Goldeneye on the N64) and I have to say, for me, GT HD is that game.

The movie playing, gaming, internet, music and storage capabilities – all in one device – is superb. Yes, $999 is a slab of sponds but this is a machine will set you up with a games device, Blu-ray player and home entertainment hub in one and technology-wise it will last for many many years – just look at PS2.

Justify it anyway you can – PS2 was $749 when it launched in 2001, cost-per-use, whatever… convergence in the living room is here and I, for one, am sold on PS3. Love it.

This is living alright.
