How wonderful will it be to play on a video game system that offers extremely realistic graphics and sound? How cool would it be to play with and against millions of other players around the world? Would that be the best gaming experience ever? And then add freedom from the clutter of wires and cables.
When Sony released the original PlayStation game console, it was by far the most advanced system at the time. It grew to dominate the video game market. That paved the way for Sony to once again develop the most advanced next-generation console, the PlayStation 2. And now, with the latest and greatest technologies, Sony is once again leading the pack with its latest offering, the PlayStation 3.
The PS3 offers a very powerful central processing unit that runs at 3.2 gigahertz. This simply means that every second the processor has 3.2 billion clock ticks, each of which represents a piece of code being processed. Think of it this way, the PS3’s processor is almost 1,000 times more powerful than the original desktop computers from the 1980s.
The PS3 not only plays CDs and DVDs, but is also equipped with the latest generation video disc player, called Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray discs can store 5 times more information than a normal DVD. This gives game developers the freedom to create more spectacular and realistic games and use all their creativity.
The PlayStation 3 comes equipped with a wireless connection to the Internet, called Wi-Fi. You can connect to the Internet and play with people from all over the world, and without cables! Speaking of being wire-free, the PS3 is also equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology, making wireless controllers possible and giving you the freedom to play wherever the Bluetooth signal reaches.
With a huge selection of games already available, and probably in your personal library, for PS1 and PS2, it’s great that the PS3 is backwards compatible. All of these features make the PS3 a must-have for all video game lovers.
