PlayStation has always been home to great games from the world's most skilled game developers - and the story is no different with PS3. What has changed is the sheer potential that such a powerful system brings.
With a Hard Disk Drive and Blu-ray Disc storage as standard, developers can now create worlds of previously unimaginable size and detail, while the processing speed of the Cell Broadband Engine allows for advanced physical simulation and Artificial Intelligence.
Combine it all with advanced High Definition graphics, and you get games that are more impressive and immersive than ever before.
PLAYSTATION 3 is not just about the games, at its heart beats a powerful Blu-ray Disc player plus a 60GB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to look after your other video files.
When you sign up for free access to PLAYSTATION Network (broadband required), you gain access to a wealth of services that really add to your PS3 experience. Feeling sociable? Try playing your favourite game online - at no additional cost - or chat with your friends via text or voice.
