60GB PS3 Features

Media

• In addition to playing games, the 60GB PlayStation 3 functions as a Blu-ray disc player, a CD player and a DVD player. The system also supports streaming access to video services such as Netflix. The first two generations of PlayStation 3 consoles supported some original PlayStation and PlayStation 2 titles. The generations without this ability still allow you to connect to the PlayStation network and download converted versions of many older games to the system's hard drive. You can also download some current PlayStation 3 games.

Technology

• The PlayStation 3 has a 3.2-gigahertz IBM cell processor and uses BD-ROM storage. The console comes with 256 megabytes of XDR DRAM. The hard drive is a 2.5 Serial ATA with 60GB of storage capacity. The PlayStation 3 supports the use of wireless controllers. You can connect to the Internet by picking up on wireless connections with the PlayStation 3. This allows you to browse the Web or play games online.

Inputs and Outputs

• The PlayStation 3 has two USB input ports in the front of the system so that you can plug in external devices or charge your controller. You can also plug in an Ethernet cable to improve your Internet connection speed. The console has a digital audio output for surround sound usage and an AV cable output so you connect the console to a television. An HDMI output is also included.

Other Features

• The PlayStation 3 can play videos at resolutions of 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p. The system is also Bluetooth 2.0 compatible, so you can link up with mobile devices and share files. As many as seven controllers can also connect through Bluetooth. The design of the PlayStation 3 allows you to stand it horizontally or vertically for added versatility. Neither position causes harm to the console.
