As DVD playback made the PlayStation 2 more than just a game machine, hefty multi-media features make the Sony PlayStation 3 an even more versatile home entertainment machine. Features such as video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video will likely make it the central component of your media set-up. Still, it is first and foremost a game console--a powerful one at that.
Under the Hood
The PS3 features IBM's "Cell" processor and a co-developed Nvidia graphics processor that makes the system able to perform two trillion calculations per second. That's approximately 320 times more calculations per second than the PS2. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, it also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TV and projectors. The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience.

Blu-Ray Is the New Way
Sony's PlayStation 3 games are encoded onto the Blu-Ray disc media format, which can hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This increase in capacity, combined with the awesome power of its processor and graphics card, promises mind-blowing games once developers have learned how to fully harness the new console's power. The PS3 will also support CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats.
Sensational Controller
New gamers intuitively move the controller while playing, even though that movement has traditionally had no relation to what's going on in the game. Sony has picked up on this tendency and is using it to bring a new level of control to the PS3. Inside the controller is a high-precision six-axis sensing system that accurately detects fine movements in pitch, roll, and yaw, as well as three dimensions of movement. This means that future PS3 games will be controlled by the movements of your hands rather than just your thumbs. For example, you might be able to steer a car by holding the controller like a steering wheel.
While the PS3 controller looks much like its Dual Shock predecessors, it will lack the force-feedback vibration since that would only interfere with the sensing system. It uses Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology and can support up to seven wireless controllers at a time. It's a hot-swappable system, so if your controller is running low on power, just pause your game and connect a USB 2.0 cable. You can continue playing while your controller recharges automatically.
Backwards Compatible
The PlayStation 3 will be backward compatible with most PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games, which means you'll be able to play your favorite games without keeping all the old systems. The console will have slots for Memory Stick Duo, an SD slot and a Compact Flash memory slot. It comes with a pre-installed hard disc drive, which allows you to save games as well as download content from the internet.

A Slew of New Games
A whole host of game publishers are already backing the PS3 and several have even confirmed games for the console. At the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), more than 30 titles were displayed for the system, including Gran Turismo HD, Resistance: Fall of Man, and Final Fantasy XIII. Previously announced titles include Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4 and Tekken 6.
Online
Sony has stated that the PS3 will have similar online connectivity and services as the next generation of Xbox Live. Calling it "an always on, always connected device," SCEI's chief technical officer Masa Chatani said the PS3 would be constantly in touch with a "PlayStation World" network "fundamentally based on community, communication commerce, and content." Technically, the infrastructure is there to make that connection. The PS3 supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T Ethernet, as well as IEEE 802.11 b/g wireless networking protocols.

Good, upgradeable BD Player/ intro to BD
I must confess that it was a good Black Friday deal (this came with 15 total free BD's at Walmart), that tempted me into this purchase. I am not a gamer. I purchased this after I purcased my first A2 HD DVD player, because I wanted to have even more variety as a hi-def enthusiast. Updates take a while, but run seemlessly. As of 9/2008 it decodes all sound codecs with the new firmware, and playback has been flawless so far. I was, as was reported by many, disappointed by its upscaling capabilities of SD's, but I use my Toshiba A35 and Onkyo 805 HD DVD player for these, as they are both known to be more proficient in this area. The remote is Blue-Tooth, so I can't use it with my 880 Logitech Harmony,but I have a separate remote for the PS3, so it's fine. I've played probably 2 dozen movies out of 200 I own, and I've not experienced any problems. Although I care more about the actual movies, and special features that don't require BD Live, the PS3 does allow me to access those features if I want to see them, so that was a nice addition. Caution: It does run pretty hot!
If you don't mind a gaming machine amidst your other components (and that it may need to stand upright), this machine may be for you, given its upgradeability and value.
bargain of the year
Bargain, bargain.... This PS3 was a new, never used, not even a open box console. I can't be more satisfied with my purchase. I was about to buy one 40gb for $399.99 @ best buy until I saw this at Amazon!!!!! $383.64 with s&h included..... for a 80GB.... After Sony mark down the PS3... still my console was cheaper..... Thanks Amazon!
