Playstation 3



 * The Playstation is Sony's video game console to compete with all the others. They introduced the first version of Playstation in Japan in 1994. The PS3 was first released in Japan on November 11, 2006. The PS3 is similar to the previous Playstation consoles. Gaming and movie viewing are the two primary funtions and it is controlled with the familiar x, y, square, and circle buttons on the controller. Sony has since released the PS3 Slim. The Slim was made with a sleeker design and was also made quieter for users. August 18, 2009 was the release date for the PS3 Slim. One large advantage the PS3 has over other consoles is its ability to play blu-rays. Blu-ray is currently the highest publicly available DVD format. Outside of blu-ray DVD players, the PS3 is the only system that supports it. This exclusiveness is a huge attraction to consumers. One catch that different platforms use is platform specific games. Playstation has games such as MLB: The Show, God of War, and the Uncharted titles. Playstation also has multiplayer with the Playstation Network. This offers the ability for gamers across the world to play together. There has also been the addition of the Playstation Move. With Nintendo releasing their Wii which uses motion sensitive technology for a controller, Sony released their own.
