FEATURES- PlayStation 3 Console- 40GB
The PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system unleashes a
brilliant, high-definition entertainment experience.
Featuring the powerful Cell Broadband Engine, PLAYSTATION 3 system
delivers an experience beyond anything you know today. With a
built-in Blu-ray Disc drive, PlayStation 3 system invites you to a
whole new generation in high-definition graphics and digital
entertainment. Whether it's high-definition gaming, Blue-ray
movies, music or online services, PlayStation 3 invites you to
Play Beyond.
Includes PlayStation 3, Memory Stick/SD/CompactFlash slots, WiFi,
a 40GB Hard Disk Drive.
Includes a Blu-ray Disc player, the latest in high-definition video,
Bluetooth, four USB ports, 1080p video, HDMI (cable not included), and
the advanced microprocessor, the Cell Broadband Engine.
Blu-ray Disc (BD) is the next-generation media format that delivers the
ultimate high-definition entertainment experience. Just like the DVD
format offered a technological leap over CDs, Blu-ray Disc is the next
leap forward in the natural advancement of data storage and digital
entertainment.
- Blu-ray Disc offers more than five times the storage capacity of
traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and
50GB on a dual-layer disc.
- Pristine picture quality with the capability for full high-definition
resolution 1080p.
- Blu-ray Disc gives consumers a smooth way to transition to high-
definition by protecting their DVD investments; Blu-ray Disc players
are compatible with DVD so existing DVD collections can be enjoyed on
Blu-ray hardware.
- NOTE: Video output in HD requires cables and an HD-compatible display,
both sold separately. Copy-protected Blu-ray video discs can
only output at 1080p using an HDMI cable connected to a device
that is compatible with the HDCP standard. HDMI cable not
included.
The Cell Broadband Engine is the digital soul behind the PlayStation3
system. Years in the making, engineers from Sony, SCEI, IBM, and Toshiba
have developed an advanced microprocessor unlike any other. The Cell
Broadband Engine has up to eight Synergistic Processor Units (SPUs) or
"cores" to help balance the processor workload thus making it more
powerful and more efficient than traditional "single-core" processors.
Breakthroughs in fidelity, believability, and hyper-reality enabled by
the raw power of the Cell Broadband Engine processor provide limitless
experiences.
The multi-axis motion sensing system found in the PlayStation3 controller
employs technology that provides for seamless interactive operation,
thus eliminating additional settings to TVs. With this system, users are
able to maneuver the controller as a natural extension of their bodies,
all in real-time and with high-precision.
By using a PS2/PSone Memory card adaptor (sold separately) you can copy
the data from a PlayStation2 Memory Card onto an internal memory card
within the hard disk on the PlayStation3.

Sony PS3 Review
WOW! As a PC gamer my response to this PS3 is "It's Awesome!" I like how it can stand up like a tower and also be placed flat during game play (did I mention that it looks great with that shiny black finish?); also love the buttonless touch for on/off and eject functions on the console. . LOVE the BLURAY quality; the 1080p is easy to love, once you play 1080 you will find yourself unsatisfied with anything less--it will spoil you, so be careful! The game play is silky smooth--it's like playing on a super-fast personal computer with the best of cutting edge graphix and not having to wait for the disk drive to engage. I RECOMMEND THE PS3 TO ANY PC GAME LOVER! The only thing is that it comes with one controller, and it's an awesome one at that!! It's a wireless-capable, tilt-sensitive "Sixaxis" Sony controller-for those of you who are used to playing with the keyboard, comfort and familiarity will come in time and experience--you've gotta try the racing games! I plan on buying a second Sixaxis for the 2 player games--LOVE the wireless controller! Overall rating, 10 out of 10! |  | Reviewed on 2008-07-26 
PS3 (40 GB) Caution!!!
My PS3 was bought in November 07, only used for blu-ray movies a few of times, This one frozed and quit playing while watching a Blu-ray movie. Afterwards, it would not recognize any discs (games, DVDs, Blu-rays). They have a serius problem with the blu ray drive... | | Reviewed on 2008-07-24
All in one system
It has got to be one of the most versitile piece of electronic I owe. I use ot for it's blueray capabilities as much as for it's gaming capabilities.
I have it connected to my home theatre and it lets me stream music (and video) from my PC. So, I always have my music library available. This is just one of the features. It has many more.
For the money you pay, you just can't go wrong.
Enjoy it. | | Reviewed on 2008-07-23
Great appliance
The ps3 is an amazing machine. Don't think of it as just a game console because it does so much more than that. It does a phenomenal job upscaling regular dvd's to be viewed on large screen tv's, it allows you to stream media content (video, audio, web) to your tv wirelessly or wired, it allows you to surf the web, to communicate with other people via web, and it's the best Bluray disk player (it's upgradeable!) around. You can't go wrong with the ps3. | | Reviewed on 2008-07-22
fun, but CAUTION!!!!
We got our ps3 in February and after only 5 months, we have to send it in for repairs! It wouldn't read any discs, movies or games. I called Sony, they said we'd have to send it to Texas ( I live in Ohio) and get the repairs done and it would be shipped back. Pain in the rear!!! I am terribly unhappy that the unit only lasted this long. I'm feeling like I should have stayed w/ ps2, or gone to Wii. Sony customer service also needs some fine tuning. | |
