Swarms - Game Consoles

The PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system unleashes a brilliant, high-definition entertainment experience. Featuring the powerful Cell Processor, the jaw-dropping visuals of Blu-Ray and RSX, the flexibility of Linux and mindblowing gameplay, the PlayStation 3 system delivers an experience beyond anything you know today.

Power and performance akin only to a bull in a china shop
At the core of the PlayStation 3 you'll find a remarkably powerful Cell Broadband Engine microprocessor working in unison with the RSX graphics processor. Together, these components create a punishing 2 teraflops of processing power - guaranteed to define the standard of interactive home entertainment for generations to come.

Don't forget to blink
Using brand new Blu-Ray technology, image resolutions start at standard 480i/p and climb all the way up to stop-you-in-your-tra cks 1080p - crowning the PS3 as the only console capable of producing a high definition image in a progressive scan format. Because of the Blu-Ray disc's enormous storage capabilities, games will produce the most realistic textures and vast environments ever seen in the realm of gaming, leaving you in a state of disbelief every time you press the 'On' button. The Blu-Ray optical drive is also capable of playing previous generation PlayStation games and standard DVDs, so you'll never need to rebuild your digital library. New Blu-Ray game and movie titles are being released every week.

More interactive control, less potential tripping hazards
Though the PS3's SIXAXIS controller maintains the similar comfortable ergonomic design as its predecessor - the Dualshock - much has been improved upon in design and performance. No more wires. The SIXAXIS controller uses Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology to eliminate the hassle of cumbersome and potentially dangerous wiring from the controller to the console. The buttons have been fine-tuned to give a measured and precise response to pressure and speed. And most importantly, just moving the controller provides you with a wide array of additional controls so your controller feels more like an extension of your body.

Store everything
Storage will never again be a problem. With 6 USB 2.0 ports and a detachable and upgradeable 20 or 60GB hard drive*, you can connect and download from a plethora of different devices to store pictures, movies and music. You can even use the integrated memory card slots and download media directly from you Memory Stick, Compact Flash card, or SD card.*

Chat and surf directly from your easy chair
Now you can use the PlayStation Network's basic services absolutely free of charge. Access to the web, instant messaging, online games and downloadable content from the comfort of your living room has never been easier.

Make a few friends and maybe a few enemies
The PS3 is also equipped with 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound capabilities. All you have to do is connect your console to a Dolby 7.1 capable audio/video receiver and -- boom -- you're assaulted with a wall of the sharpest, most refined sound imaginable. We'd like to note that Sony will not be held responsible for any noise complaints, window repairs, or heart surgery as a result.
