Sony Playstation 3
The all new multi-media features make the Sony PlayStation 3 a much more versatile home entertainment device. With options like video chat, Internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video, the Sony Playstation 3 will surely be in short time the central component of your media set-up. Still, the Sony Playstation 3 is first of all a game console (a very powerful one, indeed)
The Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) features IBM's "Cell" processor and a co-developed Nvidia graphics processor that makes the system able to perform two trillion calculations per second. That's approximately 320 times more calculations per second than the PS2. Unbelievable feature!!!
The Sony Playstation 3 comes also with the traditional AV and composite connections, but has a new HDMI port, delivering uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TV and projectors. The system of the Sony Playstation 3 is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience.
The brand new games for the Sony PlayStation 3 are encoded onto the Blu-Ray disc media format, which can hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This increase in capacity promises mind-blowing games once developers have learned how to fully harness the new console's power.
The PS3 also supports CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD R formats.
New gamers intuitively move the controller while playing, and Sony has picked up on this tendency and is using it to bring a new level of control into the PS3. Inside the controller is a high-precision six-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 PS3 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.
While the PS3 controller looks much like its Dual Shock predecessors, it will lack the force-feedback vibration since that would only interfere with the sensing system. It uses Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology and can support up to seven wireless controllers at a time. It's a hot-swappable system, so if your controller is running low on power, just pause your game and connect a USB 2.0 cable. You can continue playing while your controller recharges automatically.
The PlayStation 3 is compatible with PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games, which means you'll be able to play all your favorite games without keeping all the old systems. The console will have slots for Memory Stick Duo, an SD slot and a Compact Flash memory slot. It comes with a pre-installed hard disc drive, which allows you to save games as well as download content from the Internet.
A whole host of game publishers are already backing the PS3 and several have even confirmed games for the console. At the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), more than 30 titles were displayed for the system, including Gran Turismo HD, Resistance: Fall of Man, and Final Fantasy XIII. Previously announced titles include Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4 and Tekken 6.
