Sony Ps3 - Image 1The prestigious T3 Gadget Awards have come and gone, and the results are already in. Not surprisingly, the three current next-gen consoles - Sony PS3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii - managed to net awards. Apple's iPod was also hailed as the Best Gadget of All Time, and who would disagree?

Nintendo Wii was voted as the gadget that's One For the Ladies, what with its true universal appeal. The T3 Gadget Awards hails the Wii as the first gaming device with real unisex appeal, and we couldn't quite agree more.

As for gaming, Microsoft's Xbox 360 was awarded the Best Gaming Gadget title, with its top-notch titles (yes, we're also looking at Halo 3), cheap HD-DVD drive as well as it's "incredible shrinking price", making it a very accessible next-gen console with great games to boot.

However, here's the quite surprising part: the PS3, despite being a runner up in the Best Gaming Gadget Award, managed to win the Gadget of the Year 2007. The reason? It's not really all about gaming - the PS3 also packs in a good Blu-ray player in its innards. T3 also cites the PS3's ability to synchronize with the PSP and its TV tuner add-on.

Do you agree with T3's final verdict? Do hit the comments button and share your thoughts.

the ps3 is the best gadget because it can play blu-ray movies and sync with a psp(which is being outsold by the DS)

hmmmmmmm....


Maybe they should have waited till next year to hail the ps3 as the best...


I really wish the ps3 was focused on gaming...

lol your right it is an incomplete list, there are many more ps3 exclusives that can be added to your list of games that no one has ever heard of.

   Re: Vecha - 2007-10-15
 » Sorry...

but the 360 AND the Wii both have more exclusives then the ps3.

   Re: Constantinecy - 2007-10-15
 » ok..

Vecha if i told you that the moon was green whould you believe me? Thats what you are doing now...'but the 360 AND the Wii both have more exclusives then the ps3'

Name them!!!(and please keep in mind that the 360 is a 2 year old system against the other two 11 month old consoles).

   Re: Master Chef - 2007-10-15
 » He doesn't have to name them

I'm not a fanboy of any console, but all you need to put in Google is "list of console exclusives" and you can count them for yourself. The 360 and Wii both have about twice as many exclusives as the PS3.

   Re: jrm125 - 2007-10-16
 » Master Chef

Yes indeed...and the Xbox has been out twice as long.

   Re: Jego - 2007-10-16
 » wow

Yes it wins for its crap Blu-Ray player that has so many problems and because it can sync to the Piece of ***** Portable. It doesnt deserve the Gaming title because most of the games are horrible with bad graphics and so will most of the future "exclusive" games for the PS3. You guys were like yay Virtua Fighter 5 is a exclusive... WRONG. YAY Devils May Cry 4 is a exclusive... WRONG! How come PS3 is losing so many exclusives? Because it sucks and their not making any money off of it.

hmm...i smell jealousy. did you forget that PSP has better graphics than its competitor the Nintendo BS? And name me a problem the PS3 has? And i find it funny u call the PS3 bad graphics when the 360 is reaching its graphics limit and wii is on last-gen graphics while the ps3 has barely been harnessed.

   Re: Vecha - 2007-10-16
 » sorry again...

sorry against constantinecy...

But it seems that even the WII has more exclusives...and yet was out the same time...

So what is your ps3-lovin excuse now?

Sony released a guideline to retailers on how to sell there console.

They were as follows:
Blu-ray
HD Play back
How the console works with other devices
and last on the list.....Gaming.


You can see Microsoft and Nintendo are more focused on Gaming.

Listing exclusives that aren't coming out for a while proves nothing.

Look at what sony is doing NOW.

   Re: Master Chef - 2007-10-16
 » jrm125, I love how you just completely ignore the Wii

Yes, I know the 360 has been out about twice as long. But the Wii hasn't, it's been out for the same amount of time, and even it has almost twice as many exclusives. So what's your point?

   Re: Constantinecy - 2007-10-16
 » Vecha

The only thing you 360 owners have left (against the ps3 )is the 'now' and thats only because the 360 was released two years ago allowing it to grow its library of games including exclusives with no contest for a year(wow thats an achivement to brag about!!).

What you fail to realise or rather refuse to realise is that the future belongs to the ps3 like it or not (how long will the old 360 be able to keep up?). Look at the announcements (games, online content, peripherals) coming from the sony camp and look at the MS camp...
(1/10)

To prove you wrong and that you dont even know what your saying I quote :
''Listing exclusives that aren't coming out for a while proves nothing'

??????????????????

So basicly what you are saying is that for you to keep refering back to the 360's old and long forgoten games is something more solid and assuring than sonys army of future releases? And why should I buy a 360 to play 2 year old games? If i want to play kickass FPS I will on my PC, Crysis anyone??

lol man what a lame act did you just pull!!
And what the hell does 'arent coming for a while ' mean ??That they wont?? lol They announce a game and then scrab it?

About the wii...well what is the point of even comparing the wii with either the ps3 or the 360? its in a world on its own. It has no affect on true gamers who have a ps3 or a 360 so if you are one stop even refering to it.
Wii owners dont get me wrong I dont bash the Wii (I evem like it in a strange way...)its just it has another end-purpose.

Vecha my 'conversation' with you has expired as of now. So have fun with you 360 while you can.

Well I cant believe the ipod got the best gadget of all time. Why? Cause people are stupid enough to buy that peice of crap?

If you're a unisex (unknown gender) person,
get a Wii!

The perfect system for you!


   Re: B - 2007-10-15

Unisex as defined by websters:

of, designed, or suitable for both sexes; not distinguishing between male and female; undifferentiated as to sex: unisex clothes.

   Re: Constantinecy - 2007-10-15

MCS this is the first time i will agree 100% with you!! and i will add to you comment, if you are unfortunate to have a tuff budget and a strange affiliation with Mario then you should definatly buy a wii!

You dont even know what unisex means Mister Common Sense.

 » I agree I guess

I definitely agree with 360 being best gaming gadget, and the PS3 is a great product but I dont know about gadget of the year. Wii's unisex award is just random......

 » Table turns...

Wasn't Sony bashing Nintendo on the fact that the Wii was ONLY a gadget while the PS3 was a full fledged entertainment system for everyone?
Wonder what they are going to say now.


   Re: mohaas05 - 2007-10-16
 » yeah

because they meant gadget as in Toy which is what the Wii will only ever be. and did u read the article. the ps3 won for its "full fledged entertainment system". I know what they're going to say now. "IN YO FACE U NINTENDO TARDS AND YOURE LITTLE WIID!

   Re: Mack Geofries - 2007-10-18
 » wasn't it...

Did they say it was a gimmick? I never heard gadget, but then again, I'm not here 24 hours a day like some people.

Not you. but SOME people :P
