Playstation 3 has finally happened. It's guaranteed most video gamers all around the world or playstation fans will be scrambling to purchase this new upcoming system launched by Sony Playstation.
The Playstation 3 computer entertainment system unleashes a brilliant, high-definition entertainment experience. Featuring the powerful Cell Broadband Engine. Playstation 3 delivers an experience beyond anything you know today.
With a built-in Blu-Ray Disc drive, the Playstation 3 system entices you with High Definition graphics and digital entertainment.
PS3 is available in two versions. Both feature the brand new Cell processor, a built-in Blu-ray player, and HDMI video output. The baseline 20GB version retails for $500, while the step-up deluxe model--reviewed here--boasts a 60GB hard drive, built-in Wi-Fi, a multiformat memory card reader, and silver trim for $100 more.
The new console design has a more sleek and simple design and weighs less than the other console systems. The first version of the model is only going to be offered in black, but some indications state other colors in the future like white and silver will be available.
The single controller that comes with the PS3 is very similar looking to the traditional PlayStation 2 Dual Shock gamepad, but there are some notable differences. For starters, it is wireless.
The traditional controllers have maintained the same image and functions through out the years. This is a warm welcome for the experienced playstation gamers. The one thing that has changed on the controller for the better is the enlargement of the L2 and R2 should buttons. An enlarged titling angle of the joystick will ensure better manipulation and wider range of motion. The force feedback vibration has been done away with, fearing the vibration might interfere with certain games that use the motion sensor.
The controller will be wireless similar to the XBOX 360 controller. The wireless controller will work with a Bluetooth 2.0 EDR that can transmit data at the rate of up to 3.0Mbps.
The Playstation Portable or called PSP have no problem to connect to the new console. The Play station portable can become a remote control or be an extra controller for the Playstation 3.
Play station games will take about two to three seconds of time to save a game into hard drive and load it and vice versa.
