PS3
The Playstation
3 was one of the hot items of the 2007
Christmas season as customers camped out for
days before the release in order to get
their hands on one. It has the
highest initial price tag of the next
generation game consoles, currently at
around $400, however it includes a Blu-ray
drive for playing Blu-ray movie discs and a
High Definition Multimedia Interface
(HDMI).
The
Playstation 3 80GB offers an 80GB hard
drive, a wireless controller and free
membership to Playstation Network. In
addition, the PS3 offers internet ready Wi-fi
and one of the biggest benefits for home
theater owners is a built in Blu-ray
player.
The PS3 also interacts with the Playstation
portable (PSP) and is backwards compatible with
thousands of PS1 and PS2 games.

PS3 is that there just were not enough games
available.

advantages that PS3 has is the market that
it gained from the PS2 which held about 70%
of the console market. There is a
wide range of games slated for the rest of
the year allowing you to be sure to find
games appropriate for your family's home
theater.
