Answer 1

if you're thinking of buying a playstation 3 you should out this site first. they give you a ps3 for FREE! all you need to do is complete a few quick tasks for them.

Answer 2

1. The slim and the fat PS3 are basically exactly the same, the only difference is the look. To be honest even though the slim PS3 is less likely to overheat the fat one is very unlikely to overheat anyway. 2. No there is no point. 80GB is plenty and unless you download hundreds of stuff from Playstation Network it will never run out of space. 3. The discounted ones could be older, not as good quality, etc. 4. Most game of the year editions do have extra features like it may give you redeem codes to download DLC (Downloadable content) for free. And they are usually worth buying, yes. 5.You need to buy an HDMI cable if you are going to play on an HDTV. 6.The old cables you use to plug into old standard definition TVs, the ones where you have the colours red white and yellow. Playing games on an HDTV with a HDMI cable makes an amazing difference, which you won't believe until you see it. 7.Not that I can think off. Other than don't change your mind and get a 360, that would be a great mistake.

Answer 3

1. I'm not sure about the removable face plate for the PS3. I have no idea about that.

The PS3 uses the Cell microprocessor, which is made up of a PowerPC-based "Power Processing Element" (PPE) and six accessible 3.2 GHz Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs). A seventh runs in a special mode and is dedicated to aspects of the OS and security, and an eighth is disabled to improve production yields. The floating point performance of the whole system (CPU + GPU) is reported to be 2 TFLOPS. PlayStation 3's Cell CPU achieves 204 GFLOPS single precision float and 15 GFLOPS double precision. The PS3 has 256 MB of Rambus XDR DRAM, clocked at CPU die speed.


The Graphics Processing Unit is based on the NVIDIA G70 (previously known as NV47) architecture, which focuses on maximizing per-pixel computation in favor of raw pixel output. The GPU makes use of 256 MB GDDR3 VRAM clocked at 550 MHz with an effective transmission rate of 1.3 GHz and the XDR main memory via the CPU.


The PS3 supports numerous SDTV and HDTV resolutions (from 480i up to 1080p) and connectivity options (such as HDMI 1.3 and component video). In terms of audio, the PS3 supports a number of formats, including 7.1 digital audio, Dolby TrueHD, and others; audio output is possible over stereo RCA cables (analog), optical digital cables, or HDMI. For the optical disc drive, a wide variety of DVD and CD formats are supported, as well as Blu-ray Discs. A 20 GB / 60 GB / 80 GB 2.5" SATA 150 hard disk is pre-installed. In the 60 GB and 80 GB configurations, flash memory can also be used — either Memory Sticks, CompactFlash cards, or SD/MMC cards. All models support USB memory devices; flash drives and external hard drives are both automatically recognized. However, they must be formatted with the FAT32 file system — the PS3 does not support the Microsoft-developed NTFS file system that is the standard in the Windows NT family. For communication, the PS3 has one Gigabit Ethernet port, four USB 2.0 ports, Bluetooth 2.0 support, and built-in Wi-Fi on the 60 and 80 GB versions.


The PlayStation 3 console is approximately 5 kg, 325 mm (W) × 98 mm (H) × 274 mm (D).The power consumption ranges from 150–200 watts during normal use, despite having a 380 watt power supply.


The PlayStation 3 SIXAXIS is a controller that is very similar in appearance to that of its predecessors, the DualShock and DualShock 2. The SIXAXIS features finer analog sensitivity; more trigger-like R2 and L2 buttons; a PS (“home”) button; and a USB mini-B port for charging the internal battery and for wired play. The PlayStation 3 supports up to 7 simultaneous controllers over Bluetooth,[6] though no game has yet to take advantage of this capability. The SIXAXIS is named for its ability to detect motion in the full six degrees; however, unlike the PlayStation 2's DualShock, the new controller has no vibration feature. However, the support for legacy vibration peripherals introduced in software update v1.70 opens up speculation that a new controller with full vibration features may be released in the future. Official PlayStation 3 HDMI and Component AV cables are also available.

The PlayStation 3 Memory Card Adaptor is a device that allows data to be transferred from PlayStation and PlayStation 2 memory cards to the PlayStation 3's hard disk. The device has a cable that connects to the PS3's USB port on one end, and features a legacy PS2 memory card port on the other end.

Using Bluetooth, the PlayStation 3 BD Remote allows users to control videos and music on Blu-ray Disc and DVD. In Japan, the device was available starting December 7, 2006. The PS3 will accept signals only via its Bluetooth Remote, as the console does not have an infrared receiver; this prevents the use of universal remotes with the system. The Blu-ray Disc movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby was included with the initial 400,000 release copies of the PS3 in North America, while the first 500,000 European PlayStation Network activations after launch received a free copy of the Blu-ray release of Casino Royale.

On April 25, 2007, Sony announced the PlayStation Eye. This is an updated version of the PlayStation 2 peripheral, the EyeToy. The camera is capable of capturing 60 frames per second video at 640×480 resolution and 120 fps video at 320×240 resolution. The four-channel microphone on the Eye can block out background noise. The camera will support live video chat and voice chat without a headset, and will be launched in Japan in the fall of 2007. Upon its initial release there, it will be bundled with the card game The Eye of Judgment: Conquerors of 9 Fields; pricing information is not currently available. Sony also announced that the release date for North America and Europe should be during the 'summer' to coincide with the launch of SingStar for PlayStation 3. Exact dates have not yet been announced.
