The PlayStation 3 160GB system is the fourth generation of hardware released for the PlayStation 3 entertainment platform, and it represents the next stage in the evolution of Sony's console gaming powerhouse. This system is loaded with a mix of multimedia features and functions available on earlier PlayStation 3 models, as well as a series of new advancements and refinements, making it destined to push the envelope in the realm of Next-Generation entertainment.
Equipped with an IBM "Cell" processor and a co-developed NVIDIA graphics processor, the PlayStation 3 160GB system can perform two trillion calculations per second. The 45nm version of the processor used in this model runs at the same 60+nm speed as previous PS3 versions, but it uses less energy, allowing for a smaller size and quieter fan. The system also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TVs and projectors, with support for 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience. Additionally, it features support for Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, and Linear PCM 7.1 for an extreme sound experience.
One of the key features of the PlayStation 3 160GB system is its utilization of the Blu-ray disc media format, which provides the best high-definition viewing experience on your television. This format's ability to hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs, combined with the system's powerful processor and graphics card, promises an endless stream of mind-blowing games and other multimedia content. The PS3 also supports CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, and DVD+R formats, and includes BD Live support for additional features on compatible Blu-ray discs.
Alongside the Blu-ray capabilities, the PlayStation 3 160GB system offers free access to the PlayStation Network (PSN), where users can download games, game demos, movies, and other content, as well as chat with friends, play mini-games, compete in tournaments, and explore dedicated game spaces.
The included Dualshock 3 wireless controller features pressure sensors in each action button and the highly sensitive Sixaxis motion-sensing technology, providing a more intuitive and realistic gameplay experience. The controller's rumble feature and ability to detect natural movements further enhance the advanced gameplay experience available on the PlayStation 3 system.
Additionally, the PlayStation 3 160GB system offers HDMI + Bravia Synch functionality, allowing users to control compliant Sony devices connected to the PS3 via HDMI cable with the push of a button, eliminating the need for multiple remote controls.
In summary, the PlayStation 3 160GB system is a powerful and versatile entertainment platform that combines cutting-edge hardware, multimedia capabilities, and a robust online ecosystem to deliver an unparalleled gaming and entertainment experience.
