Sony PlayStation 3 80GB Limited Edition MotorStorm Pack
Model number: 98004 |SKU: 8463129
SynopsisPrepare for next-generation gaming thrills in which imagination and reality come together in vivid realism. This package includes an 80GB PlayStation 3 console, a SIXAXIS wireless controller, the game MotorStorm, an AC power cord, an A/V cable, an Ethernet cable and a USB cable. When talking about the PlayStation 3, it all begins with Blu-ray, a next-generation media format that boasts more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs. More storage capacity means a larger canvas to create high-definition, 1080p graphics and a level of interaction never before seen in video gaming. At the heart of the PlayStation 3 is the Cell Broadband Engine. Developed by engineers from Sony, SCEI, IBM and Toshiba, this advanced, state-of-the-art microprocessor features eight Synergistic Processor Units to balance processor workload, making it significantly more powerful than traditional single-core processors. Your PSP can also join in on the fun it can be used as a remote or even as a rear-view mirror with select PlayStation 3 racing titles. On top of all of these awesome technologies, this PlayStation 3 system also features an HDMI connection for high-definition audio and video; Memory Stick, Secure Digital and CompactFlash media card slots; Wi-Fi connectivity for wireless Internet access; and a whopping 80GB hard drive. No matter where your path to excitement leads you, PlayStation 3 will make your destination come alive. Compete in no-holds-barred, off-road racing action as you create total destruction in ever-changing environments in MotorStorm. Unlike conventional racing games, MotorStorm throws the rule book out the window, runs it over and then buries it in the dirt. Choose from dirt bikes, ATVs, sand rails, rally cars, monster trucks and more and race at breakneck speeds. Your Artificial Intelligence opponents have human-like characteristics, including bragging, attacking, taunting and more. Next-generation PlayStation 3 technology delivers an awesome, realistic racing experience. The included SIXAXIS controller lets you control a game with the movements of your body, as it utilizes sensors within that read when a player angles, tilts, thrusts or pulls the controller. Tilted analog joysticks and reshaped L2 and R2 buttons provide you with maximum comfort and maneuverability.

Sony Playstation 3 80GB Motorstorm Pack11/21/2007
By j97946765from MI
What's great about it: HD Quality, Controller, Free Online, Free Demos What's not so great: COST!
"Sony has got a winner here. The PS3 has outstanding graphics (if using a HDTV...if not graphics suck). The wireless controller is wonderful because of motion sensing and can charge easily while playing with the USB cord. If you do not have a HDTV I would reconsider buying this. Motorstorm (which is included) is an intense off-road racing game that is very fun and challenging. Overall this is a great product, but be aware of the cost!"

great system11/20/2007
By CelticsFan
What's great about it: great graphics, backward compatible, wifi, blu-ray, free online What's not so great: no hdmi cable, troublesome wireless controller, PS1/PS2 saved files
"This is a great system for the price. I bought mine before the 80GB came out, and there is no significant difference, just more 20 more GB. The graphics are amazing, and they are just as or better than the Xbox360. The wifi is a great feature because it beats the hassle with the ethernet cable. This is by far the cheapest blu-ray player. Also the online multiplayer is free. Unfortunately, those with a 40GB can't play previous PlayStation games (that's what I've been told). It would've been nice if the system came with a hdmi cable. The other bad thing is that you can't transfer your PlayStation1 and 2 saved files over to the PS3 (unless you buy the separate adapter). My main problem, however, is with the wireless controller... once you run out of battery, you can't change the battery. Then again, I'm pretty sure SONY made them to last a long time."

By muzicmahnfrom Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
What's great about it: one of the best formats avaliable What's not so great: NONE
"I bought A ps3 because I always liked the sony syatems. this system is by far the best system out now. I played the x-box 360 and the wii. the 360 is nice but will be obsolite in a couple years. the wii is already obsolite . it is popular because of the way you play the game, however the ps3 has the best and most realistic graphics I've ever seen. Not to mention, when the better games keep comming out. the ps3 will only get better."

What's great about it: GOOD GAMEPLAY What's not so great: NO GAMES AS OF YET WELL A LITTLE
"The PS3 is not a very good game system as of now. it will be later but not now because it is way too much and it has no games and they might not make games untill it kicks off more. I would recommend getting one when the have for sure have kicked off because if you get one now you will have no games to play well a few, but if you buy one later they should have more games and it will be cheaper."

Just shy of perfect11/12/2007
By yudesign88
What's great about it: versatile machine w/ many inputs. Backwards compatible, lowest priced bluray player What's not so great: Not fully backwards compatible, not many must have games
"This maybe the last chance to get a ps3 that is still backwards compatible. With the 60gig version being the most backwards compatible... this version has a software emulation vs hardware. There are many games that have yet to push out a patch (if they so choose to) make their game backwards compatible. This bummed me out because I couldnt fully retire my ps2 just yet. With games like guitar hero 2 being one of the unplayable. Ive plugged usb drives, external hard drives, keyboards and other usb devices and they all work! I use it to browse the web, store and play music and videos. It reads cdrs, dvdrs as well. And if that doesnt move you, then the blurays should! This all in one machine allows you to experience 1080 output to your hd ready tv so you can soak in the detail. All with the trademark sony controller gone wireless. The game titles fail to move me at the moment. Waiting for the hard hitters like tekken 6, metal gear, resident evil 5 and final fantasy series for starters. The benchmark games for any sony affectionado."

BEST SYSTEM OUT THERE!11/12/2007
By JDESPOfrom COHOES, NY
What's great about it: ADVANCED FOR ITS TIME!! What's not so great: GAME SELECTION ISN'T THERE, YET...
"I WAITED A YEAR TO PURCHASE A PS3. I'VE GOT A 360 AND A WII(WISH I NEVER BOUGHT THE WII). I'VE LOVED MY 360 SINCE THE DAY I BROUGHT IT HOME BUT IT SIMPLY DOESN'T HAVE WHIZ BANG THE PS3 HAS. SIMPLY PUT THE PS3 IS WAY AHEAD OF ITS TIME. SONYS ONLINE COMMUNITY ISN'T WHAT XBOX LIVES IS BUT ITS FREE AND GAINING GROUND ON MICROSOFTS LEAD! IN A YEAR OR SO THIS IS THE SYSTEM THAT EVERYONE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT BUT THE GAME LIBRARY SIMPLY ISN'T THERE YET. DON'T GET ME WRONG MY PS3 ISN'T SITTING ROUND(LIKE MY WII IS) DOING NOTHING THERE ARE GOOD GAMES FOR IT, RESISTANCE, RATCHETT AND CLANK, HEAVENLY SWORD, WARHAWK AND SO ON. IF YOU'VE BEEN HESITATING TO BUY ONE DON'T WITH THE INCLUSION OF MOTOR STORM THIS PRICE HITS A BULLS EYE. YOU'LL BE USING YOUR PS3 FOR A LONG TIME AFTER MICROSOFT RELEASES XBOX 720."

If You've Been "Iffy"-Now's the Time to Buy a PS311/10/2007
By DeathTonic
What's great about it: The largest potential of all 3 systems, amazing set of features What's not so great: None - as of last year there were plenty but now there's none I can think of
"You've probably have read the reviews on here where people say "omg Xbox 360 owns the PS3 sux sux sux!!!!" And to help ease any sense that this may be a biased review let me say that I now own all three of the competing consoles, I've been a heavy Xbox 360 supporter since it came out, and when the PS3 launched I thought it sounded stupid to spend so much on just a gaming system. Over the last year I had been playing around with the idea of getting a PS3, just nothing pushed me over the edge. Well now I can finally say that the PS3 (especially with this package) is a great deal. It's $100 cheaper than it originally was, it comes with a very popular title that's great fun to play, and it's library of great, exclusive games is finally starting to take off. Last year there was nothing but Resistance to play, but now there's a handful of exceptionally fun titles to play on the system now (Resistance, Ratchet & Clank, Folklore, MotorStorm, and the upcoming (next week release) Uncharted). And those titles along with this great package made me decide to buy a PS3 - which is really a great deal with all of the technology that's stuffed in it. If you've been considering buying one, but wanted to wait until the right moment, now's the time. It's list of quality exclusive titles has taken off this holiday season and will expand rapidly next year and there's finally enough that the other systems can't do that the PS3 can that warrants it a purchase."

What's great about it: BD DVD, Sony Multimedia Environment, Sony Games What's not so great: Runs a little hot, but no problems.
"Awesome for HD Movies, even with normal DVD. Awesome sound. Gameplay is great. Great for use as media center like a desktop. It has connections for every kind of digital device you can imagine. I love mine. Get the 80GB while it's 499."

ps3 not as good as 36011/06/2007
By haloandCoDfanfrom portage, WI
What's great about it: free online, huge memory hard drive, blue ray What's not so great: no games, horrible graphics without hd, slow download times
"Im going to say im a huge xbox 360 fan but i usually give the other systems a chance. This just got blow out of the water compared by the xbox 360. The ps3 is ok system but the controller is just to plain when are they goin to change it up a little. the blue ray is cool but the dvd are very expensive. it doesn't come with a hd cord which is dumb. It has free online but i would rather pay 50 bucks a year for xbox live cause thats just set up better. you can't get movies from the dashboard but you can download demos and videos from the market place which is nice. There are no games that are on this system that arn't on the xbox 360 that is a halo, mass effect, or bioshock killers. Overall the ps3 isn't as good as the xbox and it costs more. If you want a good system get the 360 cause it has better games, better graphics, better online, but doesn't have six axis controllers and take batteries unlike the ps3 controller which doesn't use batteries. dont buy the ps3 unless you are a huge fan of playstation."

good but not the best11/05/2007
By invigorator
"I like the 80 gig ps3. It and it doesn't matter which model you get it is all better than the 360. The reason i gave it 4 stars and not 5 is the 60 gig still has the best software by far out of any of the three models because the 80 uses software emulation while the 60 uses an emotion engine and has better backwards capability but all of the are great and the 360 will run out of steam."

BUYER BEWARE of new price decrease10/30/2007
By cleverjuicefrom La Crosse, WI
What's great about it: GREAT GAMES COMING AND RUMBLE CONTROLER COMING What's not so great: NOT BACKWARDS COMPATABLE
"When I first saw that there was a ps3 for 499 and it was 80gigs I was upset that I had the 60gig one that I paid 100 more for and had no game. Then I read that the New one was not going to be "as" backwards compatable if at all with ps2 games. Just be aware of that before purchase. New games are on their way this is going to be a very exciting 6 months. Rumble sixaxis is on the way as well. so don't go buy that extra sixaxis controler just yet."

By Tbonesfrom Milton, WI
What's great about it: Good Graphics What's not so great: Big and Bulky, the COST
"A few good things about this game system, wireless controllers, great graphics, and the internet use.
This less than mediocure game system is not worth the $600. Not to mention no more rumble in the controllers, they got rid of rumble for "motion sensor activity" the only thing you can really do with this so called "motion sensor activity" is steer a car. You are much better off buying a Nintendo Wii or Xbox 360"

waste of money10/23/2007
By Myevo8ufrom Ann Arbor, MI
What's great about it: it runs quite What's not so great: Worst bluray player on market,and no games!!
"The system has no games, the controller feels very cheap, very short cable to recharge your controller. Plus you cannot change your batteries on your controller, if it go's bad you have to buy a new one. By know means does the system have better graphics than the 360. I also have a 360 hooked up to my 73 inch 1080p hdtv and there are no comparisons. I also did some checking on the game review sites and every game on the 360 that is on the ps3 the 360 scored higher than all of them. oh and the 360 has more exclusive games coming to it and it also has halo 3 , gears of war, mass effect, forza 2, ace combat 6, bioshock, madden runs at 60 frames a second comparied to ps3 30 frames a second. no question I am disappointed with this system waste of 500 bucks."
