The Playstation 3

Ok here is what you all have been waiting for...unless you've been living under a rock. On November 17th, 2006 the third Playstation game console was released. The PS3 has the latest features in technology, such as Blu-ray Disc. Blu-ray technology offers the ultimate high-definition experience, unless you have a black and white tv. Blu-ray discs also hold more than five times the storage room of a dvd, we're talking about 25GB on a single-layer disc. On top of that the PS3 includes HDMI, High-Definition Multimedia Interface.

In case you are lost the HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such as a set-top box, a DVD player, a PC, a video game system such as the PlayStation 3 or an AV receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV). HDMI supports any TV or PC video format, including standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. As if that's not enough to make you want to e-mail Santa Claus...not that I still believe in Santa Claus. PS3 also includes The Cell Broadbrand Engine. Engineers from SCEI, Sony, IBM, and Toshiba worked years to develop a microprocessor at the top of its class. Some of the first titles to be released on the PS3 are, NBA Live '07, Lair and Heavenly Sword. So get the brand new PS3 and be the ''Envy'' of all your friends. Nintendo better watch out, soon Mario will be scrubbing toilets at your local gas station.
