PLAYSTATION 3 System Fact Sheet
OVERVIEW
Building on its more than 10 years as the leader and innovator in the gaming industry, Sony Computer Entertainment ushers in a new era in gaming and home entertainment with the launch of the PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) system. This revolutionary computer entertainment system will serve as a platform for consumers to enjoy next generation entertainment in the home for years to come.
The PS3™ system is powered by the Cell Broadband Engine™, a revolutionary microprocessor that leapfrogs the performance of existing processors giving the PS3 system supercomputer-like power and performance that up until now, game developers have only dreamt about. Every PS3 system is equipped with a built-in Blu-ray™ Disc player so users can enjoy high-definition gaming and movies. Blu-ray offers developers unprecedented storage capacity so they can fully express their creativity and pristine picture quality at 1080p, the highest-definition resolution available today. The PS3 system supports a broad range of displays from conventional or standard TVs to the latest full HD (1080i/1080p) flat panel displays.
The PS3 system also comes standard with Giga-bit Ethernet and a pre-installed upgradeable Hard Disk Drive (HDD) so users can download a variety of content as well as access on-line games and services over the network.
The PS3 system features the new SIXAXIS™ wireless controller which was built by refining the popular PlayStation® controller, the de facto standard in gaming with several hundred million units sold worldwide. The new SIXAXIS controller features breakthrough technology and a highly sensitive motion-sensing system so users are able to maneuver the controller as a natural extension of their bodies in real-time and with high-precision.
The PS3 system is backwards compatible so users can still enjoy virtually their entire
PS one™ and PlayStationÒ2 computer entertainment system games as well as their CDs and DVDs.
