Preferred Item of the Month

The product of the month is the Sony Playstation 3. For fraternity boys and sorority girls, a Sony Playstation 3, or otherwise called PS3, is a smart investment because it has several, different uses. Currently, the PS3 cost roughly around $399. Since it has been released for over a year now, anyone can find a PS3 in a Best Buy or Circuit City retail outlet for purchase.

First and foremost, Down To Frat will not focus on the product specifications of the Sony PS3. If you are interested in this kind of information, please visit the official Sony Playstation 3 website.

The PS3 serves several uses. First and foremost, the PS3 acts as a Blu-Ray player. Similar to what the DVD did to the VHS, Blu-Ray will soon replace DVD. It is in everyone’s best interest to invest in a Blu-Ray player because its visual quality is noticeably better than DVD especially on a high definition television. Plus, the PS3 can play both DVD and Blu-Ray. Even though a sorority girl has invested in creating the biggest DVD collection, she can still play them on a PS3. Since the PS3 is currently one of the cheapest Blu-Ray players in the market, a fraternity boy can easily take advantage of this and watch high definition movies with a date in his living room.

Second, the PS3 has a bigger hard drive capacity than any other home gaming console such as Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii. With this hard drive, fraternity boys and sorority girls can store their movies, music, and games in the PS3. In fact, anyone can purchase an additional hard drive in the case that they have used up all of the PS3’s memory or if they wish to travel with it. Basically, the PS3 can act as a music player during the weekend and a movie player during slower nights of the week. Since there is so little space in the fraternity or sorority house because everyone more than likely has a roommate or two, the PS3 allows everyone to use it for different purposes.

Third, the PS3 is easily the superior gaming console for the Greek community. Nintendo’s Wii might more suitable for parties because its games are more intended for play with numerous people but no college student plays videogames during a social function. Obviously there are exceptions to this observation but it is unlikely that videogames are the primary reason for people to attend a social function. Unlike Nintendo’s Wii, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is intended for more serious gamers. Its games are more focused on single player games. However, the Xbox 360 has had history of breakdowns. It is not wise for someone to invest a lot of money in a gaming console that will only breakdown after a year of use. Unlike Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 3 is manufactured with superior products that allow it to have “lasting power.” In regards to videogames, the PS3 have a great quality of games that anyone can get into. PS3 owners can also download games over the Internet. Majority of these games are either “old school” such as Megaman or puzzle games.

Sony Playstation 3 is a smart investment for any fraternity brother or sorority sister for various reasons. If you prefer to save space in your fraternity or sorority room and have the tool to play Blu-Ray movies, then the PS3 is the way to go.
