Try as you might, it's pretty hard to escape the fact that Sony's next-generation PlayStation 3 console launched today.
Were you one of the determined souls who braved the long lines, crowds and chaos? Did you come away with a unit under your arm and a smile on your face, or did you leave feeling cheated? Let us how about your experience.
To help you cut through the hype, we've completed two major PlayStation 3 reviews focusing on separate key areas. The first centers on the nitty gritty details and includes a video we put together of the PS3's games, menu system and multimedia functions. We've also kicked back with a bunch of our favorite Blu-ray movies and discussed everything you need to know about the PlayStation 3 Blu-ray movie experience.
Meanwhile, the Nintendo Wii goes on sale this Sunday. We've been testing the compact console for almost a week and we've finally torn ourselves away long enough to write a detailed review, and produce a video showcasing the Wii's menu system, games and unique motion-sensitive controllers in action.
But which of the new consoles is best for you? We asked that very question earlier this week:
We first looked at the PlayStation 3 versus the Nintendo Wii, then also compared the pros and cons of each console against those of the Xbox 360.
PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360, PC-based gaming: which gets your vote?
