Sony have announced that a upgraded version of their Playstation 3 console will go on sale at the end of August, the only main difference is the 80gb hard drive replacing the old 40gb hard drive.
The retail price will remain the same, as would the number of referrals needed on the free gift sites. Nearly all of the free gift sites have announced they will now be sending out the new 80gb consoles, though of course you will have to wait until the end of August.
A quick check of Amazon suggests they still have pre-order stock available, so hopefully that will mean that there will be no stock delays. Free Ps3

PlayStation 3 Wholesaler Industry- News
Want to find a PlayStation 3 wholesaler, to get your hands on the much-awaited console quickly and cheaply? You will need to wade through a swamp of scams and cheats - but rest assured, there are honest merchants out there, and it will be possible to get yourself a PlayStation 3. Just do not expect it to be a simple case of looking up a wholesaler on the internet- you will have to do some work yourself if you want to do it alone.
The easy but unpopular method is to wait. If you can hang on until mid 2007, you will almost certainly be able to get a PlayStation 3 at a lower price, and with a lot less hassle. By March of 2007 there should be about 6 million units in circulation-which should be enough for most of the people who want a PS3.
But suppose you want to get hold of the PlayStation 3 before Christmas? What Playstation 3 wholesaler should you turn to?
For a start, do not think you are going to be able to get one at real wholesale price often, in January 2007. Unless luck comes in your way that is, which is very unrealistic in this kind of business. The price set by Sony- $499 for the basic units, $599 for the premium ones- is lower than the price that the market would set by itself. So the places you might usually look for a cheap deal- online auctions, resellers, wholesale distributors- are out of the question.
Sure, if you have $1000 to spend on a console, go ahead and buy one at eBay - but that is the kind of price you will be seeing the consoles resell for, after the still continued launch as there are many countries that are due up for launch and arrival.
Importing a PlayStation 3 from Japan is another bad idea. People do this with a wide variety of goods - not just consoles but books, DVDs, CDs and other items, and sometimes it can be done easier in your same US state. Not so with the PlayStation 3. Sony has carefully arranged a legal setup for the PlayStation 3, which makes importing the Japanese version into another region, is illegal.
Sony have demonstrated the illegality of importing the Playstation 3 by winning a court case against a man by the name of Lik-Sang, who was involved also in the sell of importing PSPs.
So, you are going to have to stick to the mainstream retailers for now and shop around prices if re-sell is your goal. Look around on the Internet for the best deals - but do not believe anywhere that promises too good to be true cheap prices. Instead, go for bundle deals: outlets selling the PlayStation 3 with free games or accessories included.
That is the way they can offer the PlayStation 3 cheaply, without generally- breaking many of the already pricing agreements Sony has given to many retailers and authorized dealers. So do not go for the Playstation 3 wholesaler anytime soon, you should search for distributors and online hidden wholesalers that specialize in such gaming practice.

Why Buy A Sony Playstation?
Long gone are those times when the flatness and basic graphics of Pac Man came to existence in the 1980's. Today the gaming console has made major breakthroughs in gaming. A look at the Sony Playstation may just seem like a black box, but there is so much benefit to buying a Sony Playstation.
If you don't have much recollection of the 1980's, thinking about what kind of games were available and the consoles around you may not remember them. The 1980's had so few gaming consoles. There was the Atari's with there cartridge games. There was those Commodore 64's. There was also a lot of other type of consoles, but a lot of them you had to make yourself! This was not like a Mechano kit, it took some understanding. And to further that, there were a limited range of games.
Nintendo came in and demolished the competition. Here you had the original Nintendo gaming system, and after a few years in came the SNES. Games improved and were great; however, the games only resembled the arcade genre. Though it was great to have, and you did not have to go to the arcade to play, it just couldn't catch up to what was happening with the computers being released.
Sony has always been an innovator of technology. Sony brought us the Walkman, which Sony invented. Looking at today, the iPod is based on the Walkman and its portability. When Sony said they were releasing a gaming console which would be like having a PC, but with supreme graphics, a lot of people wanted one.
The PS1 was released and became an instant hit, as I am sure you are aware. Selling 100's of millions of units worldwide is the major reason games companies have produced games for the Sony PlayStation. However, this was not enough. The computers available were getting faster.
In came PS2 and this made major breakthroughs in graphics. Finally we now have the Sony PlayStation 3 or PS3. This gaming console is more like a PC than any other Sony PlayStation that came before. A PS3 has many features that make it worth buying.
For example with gaming, there are thousands of games available for the Sony PlayStation, and the backward compatibility is great at allowing you to play existing games on.
The Sony PlayStation 3 also allows you to play online with multiplayer. So, even if it is 3am in the morning, and you don't have anyone to play with, you can put the game on and play online! This feature really makes the Sony PlayStation a great feature to have. You don't have to go to your PC only to play games online.
Even if you are not a major game buff, a Sony PlayStation 3 can be beneficial in many other ways. You can play DVD movies, and also play your CD's on the PS3. The PlayStation can be considered an entertainment device rather than a gaming console anymore.
Sony has put a lot of effort into producing an entertainment device which meets the needs of people in these changing times. With the amount of games and the features available, the Sony PlayStation can go great as part of a home theatre system.

Purchasing a Cheap Playstation 2: Tips
Before purchasing any type of electronic or product, online or offline, you will want to ensure you are getting something of quality, in working condition and at an affordable price, all that the same time. The following tips, will help you understand how to get all of that in your next cheap Playstation 2.
1.When you are considering purchasing on internet auction sites, such as the ones listed in this article, you need to be sure that you are only buying from reputable sellers who have a high positive feedback rating. You should always avoid auctions with sellers that have very little if any positive feedback or have a lot of negative feedback. If their profile shows a bad feedback rating, it should be a warning to you to find another seller.
2.Be sure that you choose a business or seller that will exchange or give a refund on your PS2 if you are unsatisfied with it for any reason. If they do not offer either one or a warranty, you need to find another seller. All of these are indications that your system will arrive in non-working order or will only last a short while.
3.If you choose to use a major company to purchase a cheap Playstation 2, such as Electronic Boutique (Ebgames.com), you will want to be sure that they have tested each system thoroughly. Electronic Boutique tests and repairs all gaming systems prior to selling them through their internet web site or their stores.
4.If feasible, take the unit for a test drive yourself, prior to purchasing it. Ask the business if they would hook the system up to their television and allow you to test the console. Take this advice to heart, from our experience, when we went to a pawnshop and purchased a PS2. Pawnshops usually test all electronics before paying for them, however, not this time. Our system will not shut off the way it should, we have to press the switch on the back of the console in order to shut it off. So, be sure to test the cheap Playstation 2 before you pay your hard-earned money for it.

The PlayStation Experience
A few months ago a friend entered my apartment to announce that he has decided to perform a very important investment for our future in entertainment. I remained calmly at my sit waiting for him to continue and explain how lucky he was as he managed to find an incredible deal over the internet for the newest version of PlayStation 2. Frankly, I could not believe my ears. I have never played PlayStation in the past and the last video game I have played with my friends when I was still a kid, was an old version of Atari. I could not grasp how someone over twenty-five would pay any amount to become another of those inert players stack in front of their TV screens for hours or even days. But the experience I had when PlayStation 2 entered the premises of my house was not exactly as the one I originally imagined. PlayStation has proven to be an extremely fun and instructive gaming experience. After the first couple of weeks I realized that when someone knows how to keep a balanced life it is possible to spend time exploring this unique gaming experience without the feeling of guilt.
Produced by Sony Computer Entertainment, PlayStation 2 is the successor of the original PlayStation console that has been a tremendous worldwide success since its original introduction. By March 2005, the sales margin of PlayStation surpassed the 100.49 million units, becoming the first home console to ever reach the threshold of 100 million sold games. Dated back to 1986, Nintendo was the first to attempt to work with disk technology, but after encountering a number of problems Nintendo decided to approach Sony in order for the second to come up with a solution. Soon Sony recognizing the emerging video-gaming market planned to initiate production of its own console, leading Nintendo's management team to cancel all deals and form an alliance with Philips; this time securing control over its licenses on the Philips developed machines. By the end of 1992, Sony and Nintendo reconciled their major differences and Sony launched the first version of PlayStation in 1994 in Japan. By September 1995, PlayStation was introduced to the USA, European and Asian markets and its initial success was a prelude of its future sales breakthrough challenge.
The extreme popularity of the PlayStation console introduced the term "PlayStation Generation" and titles like Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Gran Turismo, and Silent Hill, have become the favorite pastime games of millions of users worldwide. Having enjoyed over eleven years of continuous videogame production, Sony has announced that the next PlayStation generation, known as PlayStation 3, or PS3, will be launched in November 2006 and will also be a backward compatible device; meaning that it with be able to play all the games that have already been released for the other PlayStation versions.
Although the genius creators of the PlayStation consoles argue that the new version of this popular videogame will advance the user's experience, I doubt that it will actually manage to have the same success in the desired time frame. A vast variety of other videogame competitors, including the powerful Nintendo, have launched a number of games for their consoles, which have increased users' expectations and have made them extremely conscious regarding their next videogame choice. But, I am sure that my friend and I will continue playing the PlayStation games of our choice, like NBA 2K6 or Grand Theft Auto, as PlayStation 3 will be outside our budget for at least a while.

Profitable Review For Xbox 360 -Vs- PlayStation 3 Today
The PlayStation or the Xbox: which will win? It is one of the greatest rivalries of the gaming world, and the latest round - Playstation 3 vs. Xbox 360 - will soon be upon us. The PlayStation 3 will start launching this November nationally at US territories and some other countries, some months after the Xbox. The advantage on that front goes to the Xbox.
But the PlayStation 3 has a lot going for it, and the buzz it has been building up is outstanding. Sony is already shipping hundreds of thousands of units - an initial release of 400,000, with more than twice that number by the end of the year. It is very likely that all of these will sell out, as everybody scrambles to see what they can do with the PlayStation 3. Meanwhile, the Xbox 360 has a head start of almost a year, and has built up an impressive line of games.
The advantage on games does not go entirely to the Xbox, though. Sony already has a stunning line-up of PlayStation 3 games - at least 27 of them are in the works, and many of these will be available from the launch date. Games for the PlayStation 3 include Need for Speed: Carbon, Resistance: Fall of Man, Ridge Racer 7, and Fatal Inertia. Even before its release, the PlayStation 3 triumphed at the Tokyo Game Show, as several PlayStation 3 games were given awards. In addition, the PlayStation 3 will be able to run all games built for the PlayStation 2.
The PlayStation 3 has another trick up its sleeve - what is being described as user created content. That is, the PlayStation 3 promises to bring some gamers out of their passivity, and empower them to add new features to the coming console. This should appeal to PC Gamers, who are used to the joys of mudding, and creating new levels and environments for games. Sony hopes that they will transfer their talents and enthusiasm to the PlayStation 3. Microsoft typically takes a much less enthusiastic view of user-created content, and the Xbox has very limited capacity in that regard- at least in our many of our reviews.
The Xbox and the PlayStation 3 both have online services, but these are quite different in style. With the Xbox, everything is tied closely into the Microsoft empire through the medium of Xbox Live. Sony has taken a more hands-off approach, and it seems there will be the option for gamers to choose one of several online services. It will be possible to play tournaments online through the PlayStation 3.
Who will win this battle? In the short term, the PlayStation 3 will likely win the Christmas sales battle - provided Sony can ship enough units to keep up with demand. But that is simply because they are the new kid on the block. In the longer term, expect sales of the two consoles to be fairly similar - and impressively high in both cases, perhaps between 20 million and 30 million each over the next few years. And whoever claims triumph in the console battle, the gamers will win, being able to play the two most advanced consoles ever created. In the battle of the Xbox vs. the PlayStation 3, we all win.

But the PlayStation 3 has a lot going for it, and the buzz it has been building up is outstanding. Sony is already shipping hundreds of thousands of units - an initial release of 400,000, with more than twice that number by the end of the year. It is very likely that all of these will sell out, as everybody scrambles to see what they can do with the PlayStation 3. Meanwhile, the Xbox 360 has a head start of almost a year, and has built up an impressive line of games.
The advantage on games does not go entirely to the Xbox, though.

From the moment you turn it on and insert a Blu-ray movie via the front loading disc drive, you will be blown away and surprised at the picture quality this little box provides. On average the Playstation 3 turns on and loads up a Blu-ray movie in about 22 seconds, which is highly impressive. Using the wireless gaming control or the soon to be released Playstation 3 remote controller, navigating throughout the Blu-ray movies enjoyable and easy to learn.
Playstation 3: The Blu-ray Player

Knowing your Playstation 2
The Playstation 2, or the PS2, is a video game console that is successor of the Playstation and predecessor of the Playstation 3. It was developed and designed by Sony. Playstation 2 was released in Japan, a year after the announcement of its development in March 1999.
Till date, Playstation 2 is the best-selling video game console. Sale of the Playstation 2 touched a whopping 120 million mark in 2007. Just after 5 years and 9 months of its launch, Playstation 2 sales reached 100 million units, making it the fastest selling video game console.
Initially, when the console was launched in 2000, impressive game titles weren`t made available with it. But in December 2001, a host of best-selling and critically acclaimed game titles were launched for Playstation 2, which helped Playstation 2 in maintaining a lead in the video game console market. In most of the cases, the makers of Playstation 2 made exclusivity deals with the publishers of the game titles to stay ahead in console market.
Playstation 2 has 3 designs: Original case design, slim case design and PSX.
Playstation 2 is backward compatible with Playstation when it comes to hardware compatibility. It can read CDs as well as DVDs. DVD video playback is another feature of Playstation 2. DVD movie playing feature was another attraction and a cost-justifying feature for a buyer to purchase Playstation 2. It also supports Playstation memory cards, meant for saving Playstation games only. Playstation 2 also supports the Playstation controllers. But the problem that one faces with these controllers is that they are not supportive of all the functions, like the analog buttons, of the Playstation 2. The memory cards, also, work only with Playstation 1 games. At the rear of the console, support is provided for internal Playstation 2 HDD (Hard Disc Drive).
An upgraded version of the Playstation DualShock controller is the Playstation 2`s DualShock 2 controller. Digital buttons of the original controller are replaced by analog face, shoulder and D-pad buttons. The D-pad, the right buttons, the back buttons (R1, R2, L1, L2), the analog joystick buttons (R3, L3s) and the middle buttons (Start, Select, Analog) are the various input buttons.
Similar to its predecessor, force feedback feature is provided with DualShock 2 controller. Force feedback is more commonly known as the `vibration` function. Consider a game wherein the player moves in a car on a road. Now, this force feedback feature gives a `feel` of how an actual road would have given, making the game as close to reality as possible.
Playstation 2 was introduced with one of the most advanced features. These features were not available with other contemporary gaming consoles, which helped Playstation 2 in gaining more popularity. DVD playback feature, USB support and IEEE 1394 expansion ports were some of these features.
Software support was another advantage that worked in the favor of Playstation 2. Old systems could be upgraded to Playstation 2 without changing the old softwares. This enabled the new users to access older games till a new and larger library was developed for Playstation 2. Speeding up disc read time, adding texture smoothing to enhance graphics, or a combination of both, were the added features provided with Playstation 2 to enhance Playstation games. At times, problems like failure in loading were faced with faster disc reading. But texture smoothing proved out to be an effective feature at all times.
Playstation games can also be played online with multiple players. A network adapter is required for this. This is a built-in component in the slimline model, but with other models the consumer has to purchase it. These special features make playstation 2 a great hit among the kids and the grown ups alike.

Playstation 3 Downloads
I myself have had this moment, it's frustrating it's irritating and you just can't stand it. Well like all other problems there just had to be a solution, I myself went through these phases in my epic quest of finding the perfect PS3 file sharing site (download site).
The first phase:
Like most other's first phases, searching the net for online sites where one can download unlimited free PS3 games. I was actually starting to believe it could work, until I started getting these weird pop-ups over and over again, I checked my Anti - Virus to find out that I had gotten quite a few spy wares and a huge lump of viruses. Some of the websites did have a few downloadable games, but very slow download speed, this was obviously not the kind of choice I had in mind.
The second phase:
I was getting sick and tired of joining all the sites with viruses and slow download speeds, I started to search for a bit more interesting sites witch you had to pay for to download, I thought that this sounded a bit more trust worthy site rather than the free once.
In my pursuit of happiness as I refer to it, I was actually starting to believe that there are a few sites that do give high speed downloadable games directly to your PS3. After completing a registration to one of the sites that I found, I saw something that scattered my pursuit of happiness: I needed to pay for every download I made; this is not acceptable, because the price was almost the same as the games in the local gaming shop.
The third phase:
At this point I was about ready to give up and just go and buy the games from the local gaming shop, and at the brink of destruction I found something rather interesting. This site,
Download the Games Online, witch allows you to download unlimited PS3 games, movies and music. This was too good to be true I thought, there has to be some catch. There was no catch at all. All I had to was to pay one monthly fee and I could have the power to download unlimited PS3 games, movies and music.
So I've summed it up for you like this:
You can search for free downloadable PS3 games, and end up with viruses, and very slow downloading speed.
You can search for websites where you have to pay to download, and pay hundreds of dollars to download 1-2 games, and a monthly fee OR!
You can join the best rated PS3 Downloading site on the web, and download unlimited PS3 Games, Movies and Music for just one monthly fee, with high quality downloading speed, and no viruses or spy ware at all.

Many consumers like the fact that this system can be used for more than one thing and feel it is worth the price to incorporate both a gaming system and a movie compatible system.
On the other hand, many consumers have not been happy with the product.

All About Playstation 3
Fasten your seatbelt and get set for the ultimate entertainment explosion!
Playstation-3 is a gaming experience that is beyond anything known today. It is a computer entertainment system that unleashes a brilliant, high-definition entertainment experience which is incomparable. It delivers the next generation of interactive entertainment.
Playstation-3 is the third home video game console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment. A major feature, that sets it apart from its predecessors, is its unified online gaming service, the PlayStation Network. Other main features of the console include its huge multimedia capabilities, connectivity with the playstation portable and its use of a next generation optical media, blu-ray disc, as its primary storage medium.
There are models of four types that are usually referred to by the size of their included hard disc drive; 20, 40, 60 and 80 gigabyte models. All retail packages include one or two six axis controllers, a video/stereo audio, a power cable, a USB cable, output cable, and an Ethernet cable(20, 60 and 80GB only).
Numerous accessories for the console have been developed for the system, including the wireless six axis controller, the BD remote, the playstation eye camera and the upcoming play TV DVB-T tuner/digital video recorder. The system has bluetooth 2.0, gigabit Ethernet, USB 20 and HDMI 1.3a built-in on all models. Wi-Fi networking is also built-in on the 40, 60 and 80GB models while a flashcard reader (which is compatible with memory stick, SD/MMC and compact flash/micro drive media) is built-in on 60 and 80GB models.
The playstation-3 version of the `Xross Media Bar` includes nine categories of options. These include users, settings, photo, music, video, game, network, playstation network and friends. Also it includes the ability to store various master and secondary user profiles, manage and explore photos with or without a musical slide-show, play music and copy audio CD tracks to an attached storage device, play movies and video files from the hard-disk drive, an optional USB mass storage or flashcard, or an optical disc (blu-ray disc or DVD-video), compatibility for a USB keyboard and mouse and a full web browser supporting in/compatible file download function.
The friends menu allows mail with emoticon and attached picture features and video chat which requires an optional playstation eye or eye toy webcam. The network menu allows online shopping through the playstation store.
The 80GB playstation-3 provides ample hard drive storage space for games and other entertainment content from the game network. The free membership in playstation network allows you to play free games online, allows downloading of special content and be in touch with your friends. The inbuilt Wi-Fi allows for flawless connection with your network. It includes hard drive for all photos, music and personal videos.
The six axis wireless controller gives more precision and freedom during game play. The picture quality is pristine with the capability of full high-definition resolution at 1080p. The built-in blu-ray disc drive provides for high-definition games and entertainment.
Sony has also announced the dualshock3, a controller with the same design and function as the six axes, but with vibration capability included. It was released in Japan in November 2007, while a spring 2008 release date has been scheduled for Europe and North America.
The playstation-3, at first, received generally unfavorable reviews like late, expensive and incompatible, but after a series of price drops and the release of several quality titles, the system has begun to garner better reviews. Their motor sport game is wildly popular and their list of games is getting larger and longer.
With its cutting-edge technology, the high-end Sony playstation-3`s larger hard drive and ability to play playstation-2 games makes it a worthwhile alternative to cheaper models.

Also it includes the ability to store various master and secondary user profiles, manage and explore photos with or without a musical slide-show, play music and copy audio CD tracks to an attached storage device, play movies and video files from the hard-disk drive, an optional USB mass storage or flashcard, or an optical disc (blu-ray disc or DVD-video), compatibility for a USB keyboard and mouse and a full web browser supporting in/compatible file download function.
The friends menu allows mail with emoticon and attached picture features and video chat which requires an optional playstation eye or eye toy webcam. The network menu allows online shopping through the playstation store.
The 80GB playstation-3 provides ample hard drive storage space for games and other entertainment content from the game network. The free membership in playstation network allows you to play free games online, allows downloading of special content and be in touch with your friends. The inbuilt Wi-Fi allows for flawless connection with your network. It includes hard drive for all photos, music and personal videos.
The six axis wireless controller gives more precision and freedom during game play. The picture quality is pristine with the capability of full high-definition resolution at 1080p. The built-in blu-ray disc drive provides for high-definition games and entertainment.
Sony has also announced the dualshock3, a controller with the same design and function as the six axes, but with vibration capability included. It was released in Japan in November 2007, while a spring 2008 release date has been scheduled for Europe and North America.
The playstation-3, at first, received generally unfavorable reviews like late, expensive and incompatible, but after a series of price drops and the release of several quality titles, the system has begun to garner better reviews. Their motor sport game is wildly popular and their list of games is getting larger and longer.
With its cutting-edge technology, the high-end Sony playstation-3`s larger hard drive and ability to play playstation-2 games makes it a worthwhile alternative to cheaper models.

Playstation 3 Review
We shall start shallow and work deeper, Appearance. Well what can I say other than WOW. This thing is huge, by far the biggest console to date. This is because it's crammed with things made from the far end of the periodic table by men in white coats. This monster can do anything it likes without and fuss, play games, run Linux, browse the web and cure natural diseases, before you can even begin to appreciate the glossy finish or the touch-screen buttons. The gloss finish is a nice touch, giving a modern feel about it. It will fit well with the home theater system and large HD television. The PlayStation 3 fits in wherever you put it, the kid's bedroom, the living room, kitchen, bathroom, shrine or even the dungeon. It has a sense of compatibility and complete control over everything it's near and has the face to make you not argue.
The touch buttons have a nice feel to them, means you don't shove anything out of the way by pressing a normal button too hard. There are a variety of faceplates too, Chrome on the 60Gb, 80Gb and presumably the upcoming 120Gb models, a matte silver finish on the 40Gb model and a darker finish on the 20Gb model. The release models of the PlayStation 3 feature more holes than the newer models for fans but also encompass multimedia card readers, PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility (whether it is Hardware or Software) and obviously the larger hard-drive. Looking into the face of the PlayStation 3 you will find a very tidy looking console, few ugly features like the slot-loading CD-ROM drive. When put in the correct place the PlayStation 3 is wireless so there are only 2 cables: Power and vision. This makes it look like a normal DVD player, until it's turned on.
XMB: This monster looks like Pamela Anderson wet with no clothes on. When turned on it looks as elegant, calm and collected as the Mafia brandishing machine guns. The background moves elegantly and is changeable and the icons move smoothly, these are also changeable. Everything inside the PlayStation 3's interface can pretty much be changed. The Infobar can be turned on and off, icons changed, background changed, fonts and other things can be customized till the cows come home. The Looks of the PlayStation 3 however do nothing to show the power within the machine.
Power: The power on this machine is just ferocious. Anything you can ask it to do it will with the lowest amount of fuss seen and not a noise can be heard unless your ears are as muscular as Arnold Schwarzenegger's arms. The specially developed Cell broadband engine can cope with absolutely anything a player can throw at it. That being said, the graphics card is made to match with its superb processing ability. The BD-ROM drive may only be a 2X speed drive but most of the games offer an install option so the games can load very quickly, eliminating many long load times. The hard-drive is a 5400 RPM 2.5" SATA notebook drive with the capacity depending on what you put in it or which SKU you purchase. The controller has enough power to last about 20 hours plus depending upon how many features are used and how aggressively it is used. It also links up to and idle PlayStation 3 in about 2-3 seconds wirelessly or instantly when charging via the cable. Graphics wise the PlayStation 3 is no slouch at all, HDMI up to 1080p NATIVELY, not up scaled. It also supports the same connection found on the PlayStation 2 although for whatever reason Sony limited this by default but an option in the settings quickly fixes that. There is also a program to emulate the PlayStation 1 built into every PlayStation 3 by standard. It is said that that a computer has to be 25 times more powerful than the system it wants to emulate and the PlayStation 3 is 35 times more powerful than Sony's own PlayStation 2. That's a small idea how powerful this console is. The processor packs 8 Synergy Processing Units, or SPU's, to process everything, 1 is reserved for the XMB OS, 6 are reserved for the games and the last one is reserved for a breakdown in one of the other chips.
Features: This has more features than a Swiss army knife, a fitted kitchen, 4 branches of Dixons and a wood burning stove. It is compatible with almost every video format used, probably every sound format, a lot of picture formats, DVD, Dual Layered DVD's, Flash cards, Memory Stick Pro Duo, MMC, Compact Flash cards, USB sticks, small planets we haven't heard of and technology made by men in white coats along with many other features such as the well known Linux compatibility, native 1080P output and motion control. As many features as this has, it does come at a bit of a price, £425 at release which by anybodies standards is pretty heft, a swift price cut sorted this out relatively quickly but for the amount of features you get built in, it's actually rather good value. With its built in Wi-Fi, DVD upscale, Blu-Ray drive, HDMI output, Gigabyte Ethernet port, wireless controller, frequent updates and unparalleled customer service the PlayStation 3 becomes relatively cheap.
Believe it or not, it was much cheaper than the Xbox 360 at the same time, The console cost £300, HD DVD drive was £90, wireless was £45, wireless controller came only with premium package, there was no built in HD DVD drive option available, it is as noisy as hell, breaks down more often than a nervous TV presenter, it's as subtle as a tank in a library and the backwards compatibility is about as useful as a cardboard cabbage. A big feature of the PlayStation 3 is the "Future proof" technology, being able to download the latest Blu-ray advancements, Operating system updates and other features means the PlayStation 3 could well be a wise investment even if games are not going to be played on it. Whilst not much of a feature, the almost silent fan will make mince meat of the conventional DVD player, Xbox 360, home theater system, built in DVD player, a child's chemistry set or even a vibrating chair.
Games: This is obviously a big part of a games console. A console without games is like swimming without water. Sadly the PlayStation 3 is on a bit of a square wheel at the moment. The games that come out are graphically parallel to the Xbox 360, despite being only first generation. However the games that are of any interest tend to be ports from the Xbox which is pretty bad. Things are slowly smoothing out though, sales are getting closer to that annoying white block Nintendo calls a console.
What amazes me is that Sony are rumored to have terrible software development kits and this makes it harder for the 3rd party developers to make games for them. THQ recently announced that some games for the PlayStation 3 will have better graphics than the Xbox 360, this carries about as much weight as saying the Xbox is made by Microsoft. It's obvious and inevitable as 3rd parties continue to improve their knowledge of the super console. Games which will cause sales surges are coming out in the near future including MGS4, GT5, Little Big Planet, Home (despite not being a game) and GTA4 (although this is not exclusive). I am expecting some killer new games to be out to take the wind out of even the mighty Wii. So the square wheel is starting to smooth out, with the year of the PlayStation 3 upon us then we may be seeing a new king to the console war, knocking the Wii off its long held platform with its rather annoying exercise games.
Conclusion: This large, stylish powerhouse is gaining momentum, despite having square wheels. In theory this is going to be a big year for the PlayStation 3, a spokesperson has officially announced there will be no price cuts in the near future, more downloadable content and a rather bold content from Sony saying that the year 2008 is the "key year" for the PlayStation 3 and that in this year we will see "everything that we've got" looks like Sony has some big things planned. With MGS4, GT5 making a possible appearance, Little Big Planet, Home and many other exciting exclusives the PlayStation 3 may just have one hell of a year and may have the legendary "Out of Stock" status which has been here with Sony's other two consoles

How To Keep Your PS3 Clean
The Playstation 3 is an outstanding piece of gaming technology. When the conclusion is made to purchase a PS3, then one highly important aspect is to ensure that the system is kept clean at all times in order to optimize the enjoyment of game playing. If your PS3 were to become dirty, then problems such as trouble in saving games and the difficulty in loading the game that you wish to play will be experienced.
Ensuring that your game discs are kept clean at all times is the simplest way to keep your video game console running smoothly. Always place your game discs back into their cases once you have finished with that particular game. Take extra care not to get fingerprints on the underneath of the PS3 game disc. If you do happen to get fingerprints on a disc, then clean it off using with a cleaning kit that is purposely designed for CDs.
Applying a "skin" is one method that is enormously popular with millions of gamers in keeping a Playstation 3 clean. So, you may be asking, "what exactly is a 'skin' and why would you want to use one on your video gaming equipment?" A skin, for the purposes of cleaning a game console such as a Playstation 3, is a special piece of material made of vinyl, which can be applied in order to keep irritants such as dust off your equipment.
It is important to remember that even though your PS3 does have a protective covering, the amount of water that you use while cleaning it should be limited, as it is still electrical equipment. Skin kits for your PS3 can be easily located online at very reasonable prices, and every kit includes instructions which are easy to follow. It is advised that if you are a smoker, that you smoke outside, or in a different room to where the Playstation 3 is situated. Cigarette smoke can cause serious damage to your PS3 and affect its performance.
Ensure that you put your Playstation 3 away when you have finished playing with it, as this will assist in keeping it clean. Placing your PS3 in a cupboard or on a shelf will avoid it getting spillages on it, and to minimize the quantity of dust that the console will collect.
Covering your Playstation 3 with a cloth or towel will help to keep it clean if you wish to keep it in the same location. Cover it at all times when it is not in use, as this will help to reduce the affect that environmental irritants would have on it. If you have dust on your Playstation 3, then you can use a hairdryer to blow it off. Set the hairdryer to the highest cold setting and give the gaming system a blast to eliminate all of the dust that it has accumulated.
This method is not only effective, but the chances of damaging your Playstation 3 are greatly reduced, as you are not applying pressure to the gaming console to clean it. If you do not wish to use a hairdryer, then a cleaning cloth for the purposes of computer screens can be used along with a can of compressed air. This is a very effective way in which you can clean your console.
A gamer can be provided with hours of fun with a Playstation 3. You will help to ensure that your Playstation 3 is in good condition for years to come when taking the time to clean it correctly.
Ryan Edward has been a fan of Sony's video game consoles since the first Playstation was introduced to the market, but being a big gamer comes with a big price tag too. Games can get expensive, so be sure to check out how Ryan was able to save hundreds of dollars by downloading PS3 games online.

How To Copy PS3 Games - Copying PS3 Games Software
The release of the Playstation 3 console (a.k.a PS3) has certainly taken gaming to another level. The PS3 has transformed gaming with breathtaking graphics and super fast processing power that only a few years ago were found on IBM super computers. With all this technology offered by the PS3, gaming has certainly taken on a new meaning. However these capabilities come at a cost especially when you consider purchasing games, if these games get damaged you can pay 60 to 100 dollars to replace them. To prevent this you can copy PS3 games thus protecting your originals.
If you look on the internet or participate in PS3 gaming forums you'll find lots of information of this topic. You most likely have dvd burner software already on your PC but you'll find that when you insert your PS3 game into the burner, the software won't recognise it.
Fortunately there this software out there that can backup PS3 games, the process is quite simple, all you need is a PC with dvd burner and special PS3 copying software. Another thing to take into consideration is the brand of blank dvds to copy ps3 games. I personally like Sony or Verbatim and have had good results with these. Using cheap dvd blanks can result in loss of quality of your PS3 copies.
To burn PS3 games, firstly put the game into the dvd burner and select the option (which is found in most dvd burner software) to create a image of the game. This process can take about 20-30 minutes depending on the computers CPU and dvd burner speed. After the image is created remove the PS3 game and in insert a blank dvd into your dvd burner and copy the PS3 game image onto the blank dvd.
It should take 10 to 20 minutes to burn PS3 games to blank dvd its easier than you think!
Burning you PS3 games has its benefits and can save you lots of money and in a matter of hours you can have all your PS3 games backed up allowing you to preserve your originals.
