Advantages: Excellent graphics, blu ray player, dvd upscaler, built in wi-fi, free internet gaming Disadvantages: Still quite expensive
i have now owned my PS3 slim for just over a month, and could not be more pleased with my purchase. As a gaming machine it is fantastic, and in my opinion far better than the xbox 360. Unlike the xbox 360 the ps3 comes with built in wireless and internet gaming is free, which to me is a massive advantage for the ps3. the extra features on ps3 are vast, theres the blu ray player which gives outstanding picture quality with a 1080p tv, not only that but the ps3 slim is also a dvd upscaler, brilliant if like me you have a vast dvd collection that you can't afford to upgrade to blu ray. One of the most recent firmware updates gives you the ability to watch bbc iplayer through the ps3, no more having to watch to missed episodes of top gear on a tiny laptop screen. In my opinion the small things make such a difference in putting the PS3 above ...
Advantages: Blu-ray, free online, nice extras like vidzone & iplayer. Almost silent operation Disadvantages: Rubbish controller, still expensive, online nowhere near as good as xbox live
Well, had the slim for a few weeks now (my 1st ever playstation), personally, I'm a little underwhelmed by it, I've been a gamer since the nintendo game & watch days & owned @ least 1 of the current gen consoles since the Mega Drive(Genesis).
Graphically the system has the potential to wipe the floor with the 360, but this is really only going to apply to PS3 exclusives as any software house making a multi-platform game is going to be as cost effective (lazy) as possible & use the same graphics on all the games where possible(ok, they need to dumb them down for the Wii). My problem here is that I have yet to get a game for it that runs in 1080P, they all seem to be in 720P! Why???? I'm sure they are out there, but I haven't found one yet. I guess this is down to most HD tv's being HD ready rather than Full HD.
Sound-Yeah, ok ...
Advantages: Amazing voice, pure talent Disadvantages: always mostly singing about boys
paced yet clear, I have heard songs by peple that do a fast paced track an i cant understand a word they say, so to hear this track being fast paced i find it exceptionally awesome.
Youre Not Sorry 3/5
I like this track but it goes from really catchy to really boring at the chorus, then to catchy again, its quite confusing really i only just settled upon it that i do quite like this song and I would give it a 5 if it was consistantly catchy, and not all confusing
The Way I Loved You 5/5
I like the way this track builds up at the beginning and then just goes quite soft...I like the track because shes not really singing about a guy leaving her, just being a little hacked off with her guy at one pint. I think if you would like a good example of what Taylor Swift is like you should check this song out.

Album Notes
Personnel: Jimmy Lyons (alto saxophone); Raphe Malik (violin); Cecil Taylor (piano); Sirone (bass); Ronald Shannon Jackson (drums). Recorded at Columbia Recording Studios, New York City in April, 1978. Includes liner notes by Gary Giddins. "3 Phasis" (1978) is considered by many to be one of Taylor's strongest. Cecil and his "Unit" play for just under an hour with balance, restraint and shape. While not as cathartic as this band's previous New World recording, there are stunning moments (at one point they sounds like a herd of stampeding elephants). As always, Taylor uses his piano to break all forms of musical etiquette. Halfway through the piece, Cecil and drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson start a shuffle beat, using chords that sound like they came from a rejected Rachmaninoff piano concerto. Remarkably (for Taylor), this groove is sustained for many minutes, igniting alto saxophonist Jimmy Lyons.
