Product Description The Sony PlayStation is the most popular gaming console. Featuring advanced 3D texture-mapped graphics, full transparency and shading effects, and high-quality CD sound, it was considered impossible to emulate decently until the release of an astonishing emulator. The precise manufacturing methods of the PlayStation have gone through several refinements since the console's arrival. The current production model features a highly integrated chipset. Despite having gone through numerous hardware revisions, the technological core of PlayStation's architecture remains unchanged.
What's Under the Hood As with previous models, the PlayStation 3 120GB system features an IBM "Cell" processor and a co-developed NVIDIA graphics processor that together allow the system to perform two trillion calculations per second. Yet the 120GB system manages to improve on this with its 45nm version of the processor, which although running at the same 60+nm speed as previous PS3 versions, uses less energy. This makes the unit's smaller size and quieter fan possible. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, the 120GB system also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TVs and projectors. (The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience) This console also provides for an extreme sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1. Finally, it features cross connectivity with your PC network and PlayStation Portable (PSP) and its pre-installed, 120GB hard disc drive allows you to save games as well as download content from The Internet. Unlike The some other models of The PlayStation 3, The 120GB system does not offer backwards compatibility.

awesomeMarch 13, 2010 R. Elston(Northern Virginia) picked this up and i'm having a blast with it so far. borderlands and battlefield bad company 2 keep me from being bored during my free time. free online gaming is definitely a major plus (if you complain about free stuff then there's something wrong with you). watching HD movies with blu-ray is awesome too. you really get the more bang for your buck with this system and you won't be let down.
PS3 is for meMarch 12, 2010 A. Ryan(nc) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been a HARDCORE XBOX gamer since launch. I remember staying up and standing in line to buy the first black box, which I still own. I always defended xbox and supported even the stupid games like 'Fight Club" trying to find someone to fight with online.
Anyway, I just purchased PS3 and I am not looking back. Games like Heavy Rain, Unchartered, Killzone and God of War and many others have made me a PS3 convert.
Free online, free wireless modem, 120 g space, Blue-Ray, quiet machine, you can actually surf the net and go to your favorite sites on your own TV......See Ya XBOX. We had a great time but PS3 is my new mistress.
Sorry Xbox. Use to purchase xbox games. Converted all to PS3March 11, 2010 Rory Rory 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
THE SYSTEM IS CRAZY GOOD. SMALL BASE, SO IT FITS ANYWHERE. GRAPHICS ARE NUTS ON MY 1080P TV. GOT FINAL FANTASY 13 A COUPLE DAYS AGO, ALONG WITH TEKKEN 6 AND SOME OTHERS. WELL WORTH IT. SOME GAMES ARE MEANT TO BE PLAYED ON PS3 AND FINAL FANTASY IS ONE OF THEM. ONLINE GAME PLAY IS NOT BAD @ ALL. AND IT IS FREE!!!
