The form of the PlayStation 3 console is similar in size but somewhat squatter than that of the PS2. It can be operated in either a horizontal or vertical position. When laid flat, the PS3 console case has a squareish footprint, and its top bows upwards, with a front-to-back arch. This case is a silvery gray plastic, and it has a sleek, Spartan aesthetic, with a only the disc drawer plainly visible along its front. Four USB ports are hidden behind a front panel.

PS3??? I think it sucks

"I bought a PS3 a month back, much hyped, it sucks, I have been using it for 1 month and suddenly the display goes off, after playing the game for 20 mins the display goes off, no picture, Spoke to Sony guys they are sending me a box in which I am required to mail my PS3 after which they would mail me a new PS3, I think such a high priced machine should be decent quality. Games are goodlooks nice but I think it..." Read Full Review »

"The PS3 is awesome. The only bad thing about it (at least that's what I think) is that it took me about an hour and a half to get it all set up. But it was well worth it.
