The PlayStation 3 is the most amazing piece of hardware I have ever owned. It is worth every penny of the £425 asking price.

I’ve just tested its upscaling of DVDs. Star Wars upscaled to 1080p on my Samsung panel looks amazing. Absolutely fucking amazing. Like nothing I have seen before. The picture is crisp, vivid and alive, motion is smooth and shadows detailed. It’s like it was on Blu-ray, it really is.

The XMB (the interface you get on switching on the box) is beautiful and surprisingly functional. Even the built in web browser is usable (this site looks awesome running full screen at 1920 x 1080).

So in summation, I’m sorry Sony. I really doubted you on this one, at least now you’ve gotten rid of king of the egos Ken Kutaragi the platform has a fighting chance.
