Hi-def games performance
Sounds bright
Picture suffers from noise

It's a real shame that Sony has managed to mess up the European launch of the PlayStation 3 so badly. We're getting the console late, we're paying through the nose for it and we're not even getting the same hardware as Japan and America – with that in min...
