One of the best features of the Sony PlayStation 3 is its support for the Blu-Ray Disc. The Blu-Ray disc has an overall better audiovisual quality, and is designed to supersede the regular CD and DVD formats. Another excellent feature of the Sony PlayStation 3 is its support for multimedia viewing, where gamers could also view photos, play music and watch Blu-Ray movies on the console. This feature somehow makes the gaming platform an all-in-one entertainment system. Adding more to its multimedia support, the Sony PlayStation 3 is also capable of connecting to the Internet and the PlayStation Network. This is unarguably the best feature of all, as the gamer could also stream movies, watch TV shows and browse the web on the Play Station 3, aside from playing games. It is even complemented by the access to the PlayStation Network, where gamers could buy and download movies and games.
Speaking of gaming, the Sony PlayStation 3 boasts of its over a thousand compelling and unique titles. Its library contains the most influential and most successful titles of all, such as God of War, the Final Fantasy series, Kingdom Hearts, Call of Duty and many other games that have made an impact in the gaming world. A gamer isn't a gamer if he/she hasn't played any of these influential games.
However, the price of a brand-new PS3 might be quite a challenge, especially for young gamers. A good alternative to buying a factory-fresh unit is acquiring instead a used PS3. It isn't a very wise decision, obviously, but there are good reasons and advantages of buying a secondhand unit. The best advantage would be the price, because a used PS3 unit usually costs from half up to one-third of the original price, depending on the unit's condition. Young gamers who are quite short of cash might like this deal, but the only catch here is that the buyer should carefully inspect the used PS3. There might be some defects, probably minor or serious, in the unit that would damage other technical parts when used over time. In the case the buyer's money would have been wasted.
