PS3 is the most advanced computer
system that serves as a platform to enjoy next generation computer
entertainment contents in the home, realized through the combination of Cell
and RSX processors, in addition to the playability of a vast catalog of
PlayStation and PlayStation 2 software titles.
Having Giga-bit Ethernet and a pre-installed hard disk drive (HDD) as standard
in PS3, users will be able to download a variety of contents as well as access
on-line games and services over the network.
Equipped with basic input/output ports, PS3 supports a broad range of displays
from conventional NTSC/PAL standard TVs to the latest full HD (1080i/1080p)
flat panel displays, offering the joy of the most advanced computer
entertainment contents to homes around the world. 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, PS3 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.
The new controller for PS3 has been created by refining and improving the
world's most popular PlayStation controller which has shipped more than
several hundred million units worldwide. The controller for PS3 employs a
high-precision, highly sensitive six-axis sensing system that is capable of
processing all parameters within the controller itself, thereby eliminating
the need for any additional settings on the display system. By applying this
technology, it will become possible to freely control the PS3 system over the
network.
