PS3 Consoles

Designed to be an integral part of home entertainment, the Sony PlayStation 3 goes beyond being simply a gaming console. It delivers uncompressed and unconverted digital picture and sound into your existing equipment. You see full 1080p HD resolution with 128-bit pixel precision and hear Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1 and Linear PCM 7.1 audio.

Make no mistake; however, the PS3 brings the kind of gaming action demanded of seventh generation consoles. IBM's cell processor and a co-developed Nvidia graphics processor combine to perform over two trillion calculations per second which translates into immersive gaming environments and instantaneous responsiveness on screen. The revolutionary Sixaxis controller takes game input beyond button mashing by sensing the movement of the entire controller. Changes in position and angle can be used to control movements on screen in games that support the technology.

The PS3 includes Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi technology to connect things wirelessly. The console can also be used to connect both to the Internet as well as to Sony's online community, the PlayStation Network where players can compete against opponents from around the world. Players can also connect their PlayStation Portable for more expanded game play with both systems. The Blu-Ray media drive built into each PS3 is the new default standard for high definition video and will play movie discs in that format as well as supporting CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R, DVD+R and DVD-ROM formats.
