Task Forteen - Playstation 3

The latest release from Sony Computer Entertainment – the PS3 is currently the most advanced videogame console in the world, with the more expensive model containing an intergrated hard-drive memory of 60 GB, allowing it to assimilate a huge amount of digital information including games, movies, photo, music file and more. The console was release in Europe last month and has so far sold approximately 3.2 million units worldwide. Although the console currently offers a limited listing of PS3 titles due to it’s relative ‘technological youth’ as a technology, it does backwards compatibility allowing gamers to play PSX and PS2 games on it). Another attractive feature of the device is that it is one of the first mass produced appliance to read the new blu-ray disc format, allowing it to play movies of a higher quality with a larger resolution and better sound.

Sony has added the ability for firmware updates to be installed via the devices online systems, allowing the PS3 to automatically update itself directly from the Sony network. The PS3 also is more user-friendly when compared to its predecessor. This can be seen upon its activation as an animated interface bar is triggered listing the console’s possible functions.
