Sony PLAYSTATION 3 40GB Features

What's the 40-gig got?

Play B3YOND™ your wildest dreams with the unparlalleled PS3 computer entertainment system. Featuring blistering processing speeds, eye-popping graphics and up to 7.1 channels of digital surround sound, the future of gaming has arrived. Powered by the revolutionary Cell Broadband Engine and featuring a built-in Blu-ray Disc drive, you'll experience a while new generation in high definition gaming and digital media. Enjoy the pristine picture quality of Blu-ray Disc movies featuring Full HD 1080p video and up to 7.1 channels of high resolution audio. The Playstation® 3 computer entertainment system is ready for the future with support for advanced HDMI v1.3 spec features such as xvColor and Deep Color. Plus, it will breathe new life into your existing DVD collection with 1080p video upscaling.

Blu-ray: the next-generation Playstation

Get your game on with the new PS3. What's new? Pretty much everything, but most importantly Blu-ray. With Blu-ray, the PS3 system offers game developers unprecedented power to express their creativity and a larger canvas to produce a level of interaction, sophistication and reality that has never existed in gaming. More than an evolution, Blu-ray is a revolution that frees developers from the constraints of storage space and allows them to dream in Blu-ray. With the PS3, you'll be able to enjoy all the benefits of Blu-ray whether you're gaming or watching movies.

The award for "Best Picture" goes to...

In the movie world, "picture quality" depends, largely, on the budget you throw at a film. In the digital world, picture quality depends on bit rates. For example, DVDs can deliver 10 Mbps. HDTV broadcasts can reach 19 Mbps. But Blu-ray Disc outshines them all with up to 48 Mbps! Quite simply, Blu-ray is the best home video source. Ever. At the same time, it provides seriously sweet surround sound. With up to 7.1 channels of surround sound and options for up to 32 streams of audio, Blu-ray is an amazing experience for your ears. Blu-ray Disc can deliver concert videos and music videos that will make you want to get up on stage and sing with the performers. To put it in other terms, Blu-ray is like "Gone With the Wind," "West Side Story," "The Godfather," "Forrest Gump," "Titanic," and "Gladiator" all rolled together into one visually captivating, auditorily enthralling feast for the senses.

High Definition Multimedia Interface

The PS3 features a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) input/output. HDMI is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video connection. HDMI provides the best interface between a DVD player and HDMI-compatible products, such as digital televisions. When matched with a HDMI-compatible television, this single interconnecting cable combines: multi-channel audio, uncompressed digital video, intercommunication between devices and simple control Protocols. This single cable connection ensures that all signals remain in their pure digital form and secure by use of High Definition Copy Protection (HDCP) regardless of signal output resolution.

You won't believe your eyes

The PS3 system's Cell Broadband Engine™ is the very thing that game developers have always dreamt about. Its unique multi-processing unit design represents a tour de force in parallel processing. With 40 times the processing power of the PS2, the Cell Broadband Engine has the ability to do more of everything at the same time: more enemies, more AI, more explosions, and more realistic game play. Game play that takes into account ragdoll physics and keyframe animation, enemy AI behaving unpredictably, glass cracking based on the size of the object that impacted it, and individual flecks of dust in a beam of sunlight to create a more believable experience. The Cell Broadband Engine has the muscle and horsepower to move beyond artificial intelligence. This is the power that is the digital soul of PLAYSTATION® 3.

SIXAXIS kicks...well, you know

With the PS3 system's Cell Broadband Engine™ creating experiences that were never thought possible, a controller was needed that would enable your experience to match its potential. Enter the new SIXAXIS™ wireless controller. Utilizing sensors designed to read when a player angles, tilts, thrusts, or pulls, the SIXAXIS controller allows game play to become a natural extension of the player's body. The best part? The basic controller design is still intact. The other best part? The controllers are based on Bluetooth, so now you can add up to seven wireless controllers (that's seven more than the PS2 allowed).

Not just for gamers

The PS3 is a complete entertainment package. The PS3 system gives you unprecedented control, access and enjoyment of a full range of digital media—not just video games. Stream and store your favorite MP3 music, pictures or videos from any Windows Media Center compatible PC. Connect an optional compatible keyboard and mouse and surf the internet on your television. The PLAYSTATION 3 40GB system also comes standard with built-in 802.11 b/g wireless internet, making it possible to download playable demos, movie trailers, online content and more.
