Sony PlayStation 3 Console - 60GB - Preowned Product Information

PS3 is the most advanced computer system that serves as a platform to enjoy next generation computer entertainment contents in the home, realized through the combination of Cell and RSX processors, in addition to the playability of a vast catalog of PlayStation and PlayStation2 software titles.

Having Giga-bit Ethernet and a pre-installed hard disk drive (HDD) as standard in PS3, users will be able to download a variety of contents as well as access on-line games and services over the network.

Equipped with basic input/output ports, PS3 supports a broad range of displays from conventional NTSC/PAL standard TVs to the latest full HD (1080i/1080p) flat panel displays, offering the joy of the most advanced computer entertainment contents to homes around the world. For use in living rooms, maximum heat and noise reduction has been achieved with a noise level equivalent to that of the current slim-line PlayStation 2.

With the overwhelming computational power of the Cell processor, PS3 is capable of playing back content from Blu-ray (BD) disc at a bit rate of multiplex 48Mbps with ease, the maximum bit rate defined in BD standards.

The new controller for PS3 has been created by refining and improving the world's most popular PlayStation controller which has shipped more than several hundred million units worldwide. The controller for PS3 employs a high-precision, highly sensitive six-axis sensing system that is capable of processing all parameters within the controller itself, thereby eliminating the need for any additional settings on the display system. By applying this technology, it will become possible to freely control the PS3 system over the network.

So nice to have a working console after having a 360, a little expensive but very high quality machine.

Costs way too much, Blu-Ray aint all that great, just a ps2 with better graphics, unoriginal. Online sytem poor. For good gfx online, buy a pc for another-500hundred-quid.For-originality,buy a Wii

Only a few good launch games but just wait till september onwards, in two years the difference between PS3 and X360 will be vast and unquestionable!

A blu-ray player for half the price, free online multiplayer and network browser. That`s only half the story. Let down with a handful of decend games. But they will come.
