| Description | The PS3 is the third iteration of Sony's hugely popular PlayStation console. The device has sold approximately 60 million units since its launch in November 2006. The PS3 is a device primarily used for playing computer games which can either be downloaded through the PlayStation Store or loaded via removable Blu-Ray media. The PS3 was the first gaming console to feature a Blu-Ray drive which its rival, the Xbox, did not have. This means that users can also use thePS3 as a DVD/Blu-Ray player. The device comes equipped with wireless networking connectivity which helped increase the popularity of online gaming. Through 3rd party applications users are also able to enjoy other features via the PS3, such as television catch up services, YouTube and movie streaming services such as Netflix. The device has had several redesigns with the most recent, the super slim being released in Q3 2012. The newer versions essentially have the same core functionality but are physically smaller, with different external ports and different storage capacity. |

| Technical Details | The PS3 supports high definition displays with a resolution of up to 1920x1080. In order to make use of the highest video settings the user will require a HD Television with 1080p support and the digital content must be optimised. For example a DVD will not produce a high definition image. The PS3 supports a wide range of video formats including H.264, MP4, AVI, DIVX, WMV, AVCHD. The device also supports DVD and Blu-Ray Discs. Video can also be played directly from other removable media, such as an external USB hard drive. |
