The PlayStation 3

Officially trademarked PLAYSTATION 3, (PS3) is the third home video game console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment and successor to the PlayStation 2 as part of the PlayStation series.

PlayStation 3 games can be written to DVD or Blu-ray discs (BDs), the higher density format co-developed by Sony and Toshiba. Like the PS2, the PS3 is backwards-compatible, and can play both original PlayStation and PS2 games, as well as PS3 games. It can also read and play audio, video, and other files from a variety of contemporary media formats, including CDs, DVDs, and BDs.

One thing that Sony can’t be criticised for is the amount of functionality that the PlayStation 3 offers.
It really is so much more than just a games console, which is fine, assuming that you want to do so much more than play games.
The PS3 really does have the makings to be the hub of your home entertainment setup, while it also has the potential to expand its capabilities considerably over the months and years.
