As DVD playback made the PS2 more than just a game console, hefty multimedia features make the Sony PS3 a versatile home entertainment system. Features such as video chat, Internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video give it the edge against its competition. And of course its gaming capabilities are second to none. Playstation comes in 3 variets, the playstation 3 80GB, 60GB, and 40GB.
New 60GB PS3
The Playstation 3 features IBM's Cell processor and a Nvidia graphics processor that makes the system able to perform 2 trillion calculations per second. That's about 321 times more calculations per second than the Playstation 2. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, it also boasts an HDMI port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-def TV and projectors. The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full High definition experience.
Playstation 3 60 GB
Sony's PS3 games are encoded onto the Blu Ray disc media format, which can hold 6 times as much data as traditional DVDs. This increase in capacity, combined with the awesome power of its processor and graphics card, promises stellar games once developers have learned how to fully harness the new console's power. The Playstation 3 will also support CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, and DVD+R formats.
60 Gig Playstation 3
PS3 system software update version 2.20 and up includes BD Live support. With this you can now play discs that support Blu ray Disc Profile 2.0 and you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format so that you can get extra features. Features that are available vary depending on the software you use.
60GB PS3
Most gamers tend to move their controller along with their movements in the game, even though it has no effect on gameplay. Sony has noticed this tendency and has used it in their new control system in the Playstation 3. Inside the controller has a high precision 6 axis sensing system that accurately detects fine movements in pitch, roll, and yaw, as well as three dimensions of movement, to control games. This means that future Playstation 3 games will be controlled by the movements of your hands rather than just your thumbs. For example, you might be able to steer a car by holding the controller like a steering wheel instead of making the car move with the thumb controls.
