PS3, whose whole name is PLAYSTATION 3 Video Game Console, will be available in North America (U.S. and Canada) on November 17, 2006 in two different configurations: a $600 model and a $500 model.

Both models include Blu-ray Disc Player, the latest in high-definition video, Bluetooth, 1080p video, HDMI, and the advanced microprocessor, the Cell Broadband Engine, and etc. The difference between the two configurations is that the $599 system includes Memory Stick/SD/CompactFlash slots, Wi-Fi, and a 60GB hard disk drive (HDD), whereas the $499 system comes with a 20GB HDD.

With Cell BroadBand Engine and Blu-ray Disc player built-in, PLAYSTATION 3 provides high-definition displayed quality more than what you can imagine, for whether gaming, blu-ray movies, music or online services.

Except for playing thousands of PS one and PlayStation2 games as well as your CD and DVD formats on the PLAYSTATION 3, PS3 provides an endless array of multimedia activities including photos, music, videos, internet without even inserting a game. Furthermore, PLAYSTATION 3 and PSP (PlayStation Portable) could play nice together, and PLAYSTATION 3 supports exchanging media like photos, videos and music to your PSP system easily.

As unveiled officially, the PS3 video game console supports video and audio formats in MPEG-1 , MPEG-2 (PS,TS) , H.264/AVC, MPEG-4 SP MUSIC, ATRAC (.oma .msa .aa3) , AAC (.3gp .mp4) , MP3 (.mp3), WAV (.wav) IMAGES. And HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supporting means that you can use your PLAYSTATION 3 with High-Definition video and audio quality including 7.1 digital audio, Dolby TrueHD, HDTV in resolution 1080p as well as conventional or standard TVs, and more, which you'd never miss out the approach to the High-Definition PS3 movie, PS3 video and PS3 music.

"Like the PS2 did for DVDs, the PS3 hopes to give a boost to the nascent Blu-ray movie format, going so far as to include the Blu-ray version of the Will Ferrell comedy Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby as an add-in," the CNET Review said, "The console's built-in Blu-ray drive allows it to double as a high-def movie player, making its otherwise hefty $500-to-$600 price tag seem like a bargain compared to that of dedicated stand-alone Blu-ray players, which bottom out at $1,000."

"Every PlayStation 3 will come with an HDMI port, which guarantees high-def playback of Blu-Ray movies and PS3 games, though the system will not ship with an HDMI cable."

"Blu-ray will be the format of choice for PS3 games, and the high-density discs offer much more storage space than those of Sony's competitors; Blu-ray discs max out at 50GB and can theoretically go to 100GB or 200GB, while the Microsoft Xbox 360 and (as far as we can determine) Nintendo Wii use standard DVDs, which top out at a comparatively cramped 8.5GB."

All above makes "The PS3 has the potential to offer more expansive games, with better graphical textures, more full-motion HD video, and plenty of extra content."
