I held out on buying the Black Friday GTA / Last of Us Bundle waiting for a better deal. Fortunately I was browsing Amazon and came across this bundle, which was better than any X1 Kinect bundle I found. While the PS Camera currently I sn't as advanced as the Kinect, I feel that within a year or two it will be more functional for gaming. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase and look forward to hours of gaming!

I bought the xbox arcade earlier this year and got a 60 gig hard drive for it second hand (system and hard drive totalling about $174).  The games for this system are decently fun, the controller is an ergonomic wonder (although you either need to replace the batteries or buy a seperate charging kit) and all in all I'm happy with the purchase.

I realize I'll probably get 'no' votes for this but I do prefer my PS3 because it has more features when stacked up to a comparable xbox unit for the same price and fewer add on fees (xbox live, rechargeable battery packs, etc).  Everything considered though if you like first person shooters you really can't pass this system (or a newer version of it) up.  One thing I would note is that microsoft has more money for video game development so most games that are on both systems are developed for the xbox first and ported over to the PS3.  This generally means they work better and have fewer issues on the xbox.  A great example of this is Oblivion (or any bethesda game for that matter) has glitches on PS3 and works fine on xbox.

I bought my Playstation 3, during launch and I must say I was very impressed by the futures it already had included.  The Blu-Ray player was a great value, considering the fact that most stand alone were selling for as much as the Ps3 coasts it self.  But the other great functionalities that impressed me when I first got my Ps3 was the ability to view pictures, and play audio at 7.1 surround sound.

Now after the 1.90 update I have started to love the system once again.  Now the Ps3 can up-convert DVDs to full 1080p, play .h264 coded media.  And also a very important future for some "tech" enthusiasts.  The Ps3 can stream media from your computer to your TV.  So, you can watch those shows you downloaded from Google video etc.. in full 1080.

Now, I hear the Ps3 will soon be able to tap into Freeview TV, and have the ability to act as a DVR.  The functions of this system is amazing, it truly deserves the name "Playstation Computer Entertainment System."

As for games, there are tons of games coming for the system that are sure the impress.  Some of the games that I am picking up this Christmas, are Lair, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, R&C and Grand Theft Auto 4.

Tons of games are coming out for the system, that are sure to impress.  If you haven't bought one yet, I guarantee you won't be disappointed, this is the best value for a gaming console, and a great system that sure to not disappoint.

So far it's doing everything I want - no instructions though - so it was all guesswork how it all went together - I had to come back here and read the other reviews to find out what the mystery button in the front was - apparently it turns on the fan. I like how this tidies everything up - do they make this for PS3?

So this was my first flat screen TV and I've had for about a week. Two weeks now I think. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the money on this because I read reviews about it not being good for gaming, not having the best picture, and not having good sound.

First off, the sound is perfect for me since I use the TV in my small/medium bedroom. It gets pretty loud. There's a surround sound feature on the TV, so when I was watching a movie, a phone was ringing. I thought the phone was ringing in the next room in MY house, but it was actually part of the movie. There's also audio outputs, so if you wanted to have surround sound speakers, that'd work too. Personally, I soon plan to buy some Pulse Elite headphones (I use nothing but a PS3 on my TV), so that'll satisfy my surround sound needs.

SPEAKING OF THE PS3. It looks AMAZING on this TV. I play mostly Call Of Duty: MW3 on there, and it looked great. There's no lag between pressing a button and it happening on the screen. Don't judge me, but I was quick scoping like it wasn't nothing. It's also almost like I can even see farther away while sniping than I could on my old tube TV. I tested other games out on it like Naruto Storm, Little Big Planet, Saints Row, and others, and it all looked just freaking great. I can't wait to get Grand Theft Auto V and play it on this, Oh, btw I have my PS3 into my TV using an HDMI cord. Idk how regular AV cords would look.

The screen is really great. When I playing a game, I'm either sitting on the edge of my bed which is 4 feet from the screen, or I'm sitting across the room which is typically 11-12 feet from the screen. Then again, I can adjust the TV distance and position since I have it mounted on my wall using the VideoSecu wall mount I also purchased from Amazon.

Another cool feature this TV has is that it can take a USB through the back. I hooked up my Android phone through USB to the TV and started playing music on it. It's awesome. I doubt I'm going to be using my TV to play music from my phone, but hey, still a pretty neat feature.

Delivery was swift. Tip: Order this using Amazon Prime. When you order it, make sure you do it early in the morning. Even though I chose Two Day Shipping with Prime, I got the TV the NEXT DAY. I was surprised. The delivery man also delivered it properly. If you get your TV and it's delivered face down, or back down, just return automatically. That's how "black lines" develop on your TV. As your opening your TV, make sure you don't put it face down or back down either. Keep it standing and you should be good.

I've only had this TV for less than 2 weeks, I use it maybe everyday or every two days, but I really feel like it's going to last. I'd definitely recommend this to someone.

Playstation 3 is the best console nowadays... no doubt about it...
Regarding this exact bundle I bought it because of the cheap it was and not because of the games... Actually I sold one of them and exchange the other with a friend.

I have had the PS3 for 6 months now. I did have one problem with my first PS3, when I left it on running with a video game in, I think that it caused the drive to break. However, Sony has a one year warranty, and were very helpful with the exchange. The new PS3 I received comes with the new game Metal Gear Solid 4...and the graphics are amazing. I am into good quality picture, and that was the main reason for purchasing the PS3 in the first place. The games graphics, and the Blu-Ray movies are clear and impressive. They won't disappoint even the most picky. Of course, it also depends on which HDTV you are using with it too. The new software upgrades come with the Dolby True HD, and DTS-HD Master. I am into audio as well, and this player performs great in both movies and video games. I also like the picture slide show available on the PS3. It turns my living room into a large slide show- with brilliant color and clarity. You can download your songs onto a SD and attach to your PS3 and it easily transfers any pictures or music for quick access.

I bought this on Black Friday 2013, and am very satisfied with this bundle. The PS3 came with all the listed parts and has worked perfectly. No problems with either of the games.

Okay, so Grand Theft Auto is simply amazing. Through the first few missions I got bored to be honest. I started to think to myself "This...is so lame. It's just another GTA game but with better graphics." But trust me, it's get funner after that. 5 minutes before posting this I just brought downs someone's house deck and thought that was pretty awesome. (x I wish I would've preordered this game because I keep looking at the blimp in the game and wishing I could get into it...

Anyway though, that's all about the game. It's amazing, nuff said. The PS3 is what made me give this 4 stars. I got this because I wanted to upgrade from the 80GB "fat model" that I've had since I was 14 (I'm 18 now). Of course, 500GB compared to the 80GB is awesome as **** and the PS3 looks great all the 32" Samsung TV I also bought on here. The one and ONLY thing that I don't like is the sound the CD makes when it's spinning in the console. You can hear it every now and then and I find it pretty annoying. I don't notice it when I'm gaming cause I'm in the "zone", but when I'm doing things I'm not really focused on, I can hear it and it bugs me. I'll live, it's just SO annoying. Haha.

Anyway, good system, good game, great deal (The bundle is WAY cheaper than buying the console and game separately) If you're thinking about buying this, stop thinking about it and just do it. I have Amazon Prime and it got to my house in 2 business days. (:

I've had my PS4 for a bout a year now. I am a PS Plus member and I really love the free games for the fair price of $60/yr. The system itself is quite modern, with a lot of different options that make gaming in an age of 50GB games more pleasurable. The ability to put the PS4 in a power-reduced rest mode that keeps your current-playing game "paused" is fascinating and great for those that hate load times.

Overall, the system has met and exceeded my expectations for a modern videogame console. I don't have the XBox One to compare to, but even comparing this to the XBox 360 or PS3 (which I do have both), it's a worthwhile upgrade.

Having a PS3 and an Xbox 360 I have to say that my PS3 continues to AMAZE ME. Here is why...

1) PS3 has ----- No subscription fees!!!!!!!!!!! Why anyone would pay for an XBOX and then subscription fees when you can get the same games for PS3 for FREE is just crazy!

2)Compatible as a PC/Media Server (with super cool visuals). You can even put an OS on it. The web cam conferencing also is super cool with a 1 second delay. Unheard of. I can't even get that on my desktop pc!

3)Movie quality is well ace!

Now I have heard some rumors that the 40GB runs cooler than the ones with more GB.

The gaming quality is the same on both consoles, but the PS3 console has changed me forever! Xbox 360...ebay.. soon.

Sure Bill Gates can run his home off of an Xbox 360...but all you need is a little creativity and a Philips Pronto and voila..

The controller came in the mail intact and unharmed. I opened it not even an hour after I got it and started playing. It had a charge of 2 bars and synched up with my PS3 with no problem.

I just bought a PS3 40 GB, admittingly from a different outlet, but I think its worth reviewing here on Amazon.  First of all, I had the luxury of "testing" my brother-in-law's PS3 60 GB, which had backwards compatibility with PS2 games.  After experiencing Hi-Def PS3 games like MLB 07 The Show, and Resistance: Fall of Man, I can say without a doubt that the clarity of hi-def gaming surpasses the feature of being able to play PS2 games.  I just don't see it as being THE sole reason for purchasing a backwards-compatible model.  And, you will not miss PS2 games all that much because after playing hi-def, PS2 games look blurry and distorted (because the frame-rate is 300 times slower!).

With that said, I bought a 40 GB because of its low price and its built-in features compared to an Xbox 360 such as wireless gaming and free network access.  The wireless feature is so cool because you can download system updates automatically.  And, for the ultimate portability, you can save your game on a flash usb stick and then plug it in your friend's PS3 and pick up where you left off.

As for the hard drive space, 40 GB should be plenty for the casual gamer who plays in spurts 3 times a week (on weekends or days off from work).  If you are a hardcore gamer who is online for hours on end and plans to download wallpaper, skins, and music to their system, then sure, 80 GB might be the way to go.

And, there is really no need for an intercooler.  My brother-in-law has one, and the only benefit I would say is that it can speed your gaming experience up a bit if you are playing for more than 5 hours at a time.  Otherwise, it just makes a ton of noise.

Recommended games for PS3:

Rainbow Six Vegas
MLB 07 The Show
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Heavenly Sword
Resistance: Fall of Man
