The Power of the Playstation 3

The big word is the Cell Processor for the PS3. It's supposed to be wicked fast and here are the numbers.
  • A 3.2 Ghz CPU.
  • Can handle seven wireless controllers at once.
  • 24-hour battery power for the controllers.
  • You may be able to use a PSP as a wireless controller.
  • Built-in wireless internet capability.
  • Can handle video chat.
  • Detachable hard drive slot.
  • You can plug two TVs into one PS3!
  • 256 MB RAM.
  • 256 MB RAM for the graphics chip.
  • Supports HDTV at up to 1080p resolution.
  • You can play Playstation 1 and Playstation 2 games on it!
  • 35 times the power of the PS2.
  • It comes in three different colors.

    Cool Extras for the Playstation 3

    The best news about the Playstation 3 is that there'll be a ton of games for it when it drops. Everything from Gundam World to the latest Electronic Arts sports games, and a new Final Fantasy game, will show up. Plus, it should be cheaper than the Xbox 360.

    Ah! For surfers in the UK, $450 US means it'll cost 250 pounds. If the price drops to $370 US, it will cost 200 pounds instead.

    1Why is it so much money, like $110 because my mother aint going to get.

    1It's great. I am in Austrlia so it will be around $700. Oh yeah, I am getting one. I've already pre-orded an Xbox 360 and I am buying a PS3 because my dad loves consoles. I also have a PSP, PS2, Xbox, Gamecube and PC.
