The PS3 Story
The software was updated with the release of system software version 3.40 allowing users to upload and browse photos on Facebook and Picasa. These enhancements include the ability to have demos and game updates download automatically to PlayStation 3. In response to the incident, Sony announced a "Welcome Back" program, 30 days free membership of PlayStation Plus for all PSN members, two free downloadable PS3 games, and a free one-year enrollment in an identity theft protection program.
In addition, you have to close the cover by hand, which can be a bit fiddly if it's upright, and the PS3 won't start reading a disc unless you do [close the cover]." They also said there is no real drop in retail price. The 20 GB model was estimated to cost US$805.85 to manufacture, about US$307 more than its retail price, while the 60 GB model was estimated at US$840.35, or US$241 above its retail price. All models except one early version feature built-in Wi-Fi, and some early units include flash card readers for Memory Stick, SD and CompactFlash formats.
Why the PS3 Still Hits
In a comparison piece by PC Magazines Will Greenwald in June 2012, PS3 was selected as an overall better console compared to Xbox 360. Pocket-Lint said of the console: "The PS3 has always been a brilliant games console," and that "For now, this is just about the best media device for the money." Early PlayStation 3 reviews after launch were critical of its high price and lack of quality games.
Game developers regarded the architecture as difficult to program for. PS3 was, however, commended for its hardware including its Blu-ray home theater capabilities and graphics potential. Critical and commercial reception to PS3 improved over time, after a series of price revisions, Blu-ray's victory over HD DVD, and the release of several well received titles.
