PS3 or Wii - Which One is Better?
Both PS3 and Wii are powerful computers that have been optimized for graphics and sound. However, these two game machines couldn"t be more different.PS3 is a bulky black box that costs $350 to $500, which includes a standard hard drive, a high-definition Blu-ray optical drive, high-definition video output, Bluetooth wireless controllers, and WiFi wireless networking port.
Wii is a thin white box that costs around $250 with much wimpier specs. Its remote uses accelerometers to sense how players swing, point, and tilt the controller. It doesn"t have a hard disk, a networking port or the ability to play DVDs or CDs. It cannot produce high-definition video, either. However, Wii does have Wi-Fi that could wirelessly connects to Nintendo"s portable game system.
In my opinion, PS3 is definitely the winner of these two game machines. PlaySation3 has better graphics and better overall media. I am impressed by the rich, realistic graphics and intricate game play in my PS3 games we tried. On the other hand, I think graphics on the Wii are quite cheesy.
My PS3 also has a memory card reader for all Compact Flash and SD memory cards, which is really cool. With a USB keyboard and mouse, my PS3 can serve as a basic PC. Also, Wii"s games are all kids games except for Zelda.
PS3 is indeed most expensive than Wii. However, $350 isn"t too expensive though when you"re getting a thousand-valued built-in Blue-ray player. So I would recommend you getting a PS3 instead of Wii if you are a hard-core gamer like me.
Now let me go over what I think are the best places to buy a PS3 online.
1. PlayStationSale.com
I absolutely love this website. It is a specialized Sony PS3 for sale site, which offers a great selection of PS3, games and accessories. It makes finding the perfect PS3 deal a million times easier. Be sure to try this website before you buy.
2. eBay
I love eBay. There is always a constant supply of PS3 for sale and the prices are very reasonable. My own PS3 and games were purchased there. Of course, remember to buy from a seller who has great feedbacks.
3. Amazon
For those who don"t really like eBay, I would recommend Amazon as it is as fast and safe as you can get. Keep in mind that you can always safely purchase from their 3rd party sellers as well.
I wish you good luck in finding the perfect PS3 for you.
