PlayStation 3





PLAYSTATION®3, commonly abbreviated PS3) is a video game console from Sony Computer Entertainment, and the successor to the PlayStation 2. The PlayStation 3 competes with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles. In sales and market share, it is currently in third place. The console was first released on November 11, 2006 in Japan and shortly after on November 17, 2006 in North America, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Its primary storage media is the Blu-ray Disc, while also supporting SACDs, DVDs, and CDs. It can output high-definition video for both video games and movies via a HDMI 1.3 port, supporting up to 1080p HD resolution. After a recent software update, DVD-Video, PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games can be upscaled to high-definition; however, copy-protected content (such as commercial DVDs) can only be upscaled over HDMI.
In addition to all of the features of the 20 GB model, the 60 GB model has internal IEEE 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, multiple flash card readers (SD/MultiMedia Card, CompactFlash, Memory Stick) and a chrome coloured trim. In terms of hardware, the 80 GB model released in Korea is identical to the 60 GB model released in European territories, except for the difference in hard drive size.IPTV compatibility is supported through software and could potentially be added to other models of the console.
No official Wi-Fi or flash memory card readers have yet been released by Sony for the 20 GB console, although plans for such add-ons are in place. Nevertheless, as both models feature four USB 2.0 ports, wireless networking and flash memory card support can already be obtained through the use of widely available external USB adapters.
