| The Playstation 3 is 35 times more powerful than the PS2. Its graphics are powered by an NVidia graphics chip. The controllers on the PS3 use Bluetooth technology as standard, and can accommodate up to 7 players at one time. Additional controllers can be connected to one of up to 6 USB 2.0 ports available.
The media format that the games will be stored on is called Blu-ray. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 25 GB - roughly 5 times more storage than a standard single-layer DVD. The Blu-ray drive will support all Blu-ray formats and be fully backward compatible with current CD and DVD formats to enable PSOne and PS2 games to be played.
The PS3 has an online connection via Ethernet. |
