PlayStation has always been home to great games from the world's most skilled game developers - and the story is no different with PS3. What has changed is the sheer potential that such a powerful system brings.
With its phenomenal processing power, PLAYSTATION 3 is designed to deal with crisp High Definition imagery and crystal clear sound - and Blu-ray Disc is the perfect format for delivering the huge amounts of data this requires. A single Blu-ray Disc can store 25GB (single layer), or even 50GB (dual layer). By comparison, DVDs can only contain up to 4.7GB.
When you sign up for free access to PLAYSTATION Network (broadband required), you gain access to a wealth of services that really add to your PS3 experience. Feeling sociable? Try playing your favourite game online - at no additional cost - or chat with your friends via text or voice
Create a perfect partnership by connecting PS3 to an HDTV. Scenes are rendered in amazing detail, all the way up to the best resolution that today's technology can offer - 1080p.Seeing your entertainment in this kind of detail transports you to the scene of a movie, and makes games feel far more immediate and realistic. What's more, High Definition means you can show your digital photos off on an impressive flat screen display - which is quick and easy with PS3.
With its state of the art Cell Broadband EngineTM, PS3 smoothly processes the huge amounts of data required for High Definition footage. (source: Playstation)
