Sony has provided consumers, for years, with phenomenal gaming environments. They have taken a step further with the Playstation 3. This gaming console offers a multi-media functionality, along with gaming technology that is still new to the market. Gaming and home entertainment has a new shell - the Playstation 3.
As with other gaming consoles, the Playstation 3 is available in different sizes or forms. Each form has a different size hard drive, different functionality, along with different games that come with each. Sticker prices, on the larger units, are obviously a bit higher. However, for the additional functionality - it is worth it.
Take for example, the 80GB console. This console supports many of the older PS2 games - meaning you can play these old games on the new console. The 40GB console - on the other hand - does not support PS2 games. (The 60GB console supports more PS2 games than the 80GB does; however, it has been discontinued.)
Both Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity are available on the PS3. The Ethernet connection is easily accessible on the back panel of the unit. An HDMI, SPDIF, and Playstations AV output are all accessible from the back panel of the PS3.
The design, of the PS3, is definitely eye catching. It is only 12.8 x 3.8 x 10.8-inches in diameter, and weighs only 11 pounds. It has a shiny black casing, with chrome accents. Along the front of the box is a front-loading optical drive. Simply slide in your game, DVD, or Blue-ray disk, and you entertainment begins. The PS3 is a nice addition to any home theatre system.
There are four USB ports along with slots for Compact Flash, SD Memory Card and Memory Stick Duo card. The memory slots are slightly hidden behind a door on the front panel. The USB ports are easily accessible for charging controllers, or using other USB devices.
Like other gaming consoles, the PS3 now has wireless controllers. The only reason to plug them into the USB ports is to charge them. The one downfall, to these controllers, is that the batteries are not replaceable. When a battery life is gone, the entire controller will have to be replaced. (Other gaming consoles have replaceable packs.)
Not only did Sony make their controllers wireless, but they also implemented motion sensitivity technology. The controllers can detect six different motions: forward, backward, left, right, up, and down. Different movements will perform different actions, which is dependent upon the game that you are playing. (An added bonus, the motion sensitivity can be turned off if you do not feel like messing with it.)
The PS3 also now has multi-media functionality. Image slide shows, music, and movies can all be stored - and watched - directly on the device. (The most common image, audio, and video file formats are supported.) The PS3 can also be used to stream media through, if you do not want to take up your hard disk space.
PS3 consoles can be found ranging anywhere from $300 to $500; all dependent on the size hard drive you are looking for. Regardless of price, the PS3 offers you a whole new world of entertainment. From movies, to games, to online communities - it is the console of today. - 20785
