Sony Playstation 3 Console - 80GB - Pre-owned 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.

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.

PLEASE NOTE - This PlayStation 3 model does NOT feature backwards compatibility with PS2 games, or the memory stick card readers found on the old 60GB Model.

    Fantastic console, worth every penny. However, don`t worry about getting a 80gb version, chances are your going to change the HDD manually anyway because it`s too small!

    The most beautifully engineered, advanced, capable and best value piece of home entertainment equipment currently on the market. I can`t recommend it highly enough!

    Had two Xbox 360`s die on me in less than a year. The Playstation 3 has been superb, best console since the PS1!

    if you need more space buy an external hdd and format it to fat32 using paragon partition manager and bingo you have loads of space

    its a 40gb ps3 with doubled memory, the original 60gb is by far the best as it has more features and capabilities
