PlayStation 3 is the industry’s most advanced next-generation home console hardware, realised through the combination of Cell and RSX processors. With the 40GB PlayStation 3’s Giga-bit Ethernet and a pre-installed 40GB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) as standard in PS3, PlayStation 3 gamers will be able to download a variety of contents as well as access on-line games and services over the Playstation Network. Equipped with basic input/output ports, PlayStation 3 supports a broad range of displays from conventional NTSC/PAL standard TVs to the latest full HD (1080i/1080p) flat panel displays, offering PS3 owners the joy of the most advanced computer home entertainment content. For use in living rooms, maximum heat and noise reduction has been achieved with a noise level equivalent to that of the current slim-line PlayStation 2. With the overwhelming computational power of the Cell processor, Playstation S3 is capable of playing back content from Blu-ray (BD) disc at a bit rate of multiplex 48Mbps with ease, the maximum bit rate defined in BD standards. There’s general agreement that Sony stumbled out of the gate with the PlayStation 3. Months of intense hype were followed by a late launch and a staggering $600 price tag for the deluxe model. Even worse, the PS3 didn’t initially have any real must-have exclusive titles, and despite the power of its vaunted Cell processor, multiplatform games from third-party developers didn’t look appreciably better than the respective titles on the Xbox 360.
