When it comes to gameplay, PLAYSTATION®3 means business


What do you get when you cross one of the fastest processors on the planet with state-of-the-art high-definition digital media? You get gaming that is seriously hard-core. PLAYSTATION®3 system's Cell Broadband Engine™ and Blu-ray Disc™ team up to give you more of everything at the same time—more enemies, more explosions and more realistic gameplay.

  • Unique Multi-Core Design—Computing power that says, "the sky is no longer the limit"
  • True Parallel Processing—Think of it like eight of the smartest brains you know working together as one
  • Power—40 times faster than the chip that runs PlayStation®2 (and let's face it, PS2™ still rocks)
  • High-Definition Games—High-definition gaming comes alive with incredible detail and immersive environments only available with Blu-ray
