PS3 is available today at retailers nationwide in two configurations for consumers. One features a 20-GB hard disk drive (HDD) and carries a suggested retail price of $499, while the second features a 60-GB HDD and built in Wi-Fi adapter and multiple memory card slots for $599. At the heart of PS3 is the Cell Broadband Engine, one of the most-advanced computer processors in the world, that enables massive floating point calculation, and Blu-ray Disc (BD) drive, providing a true High Definition (1080p)* next-generation gaming and movie experience in the home, as well as up to 50 GB of data capacity for video game developers to store content - five times the capacity of DVD.
But the technological advances don't just stop in the system itself, they are also found in the controller. The PS3 system's innovative, new SIXAXIS wireless controller allows gamers to physically turn, twist, and bank their controllers to command the on-screen action. Every PS3 also comes equipped with an HDMI output for the best connection possible to high-definition displays, supporting Full-HD resolution up to 1080p for both games and movies*. Built-in network capability means that all PS3 owners can enjoy online game play and services, such as Web browsing through the PlayStation Network and downloadable content through the PlayStation Store, immediately. Additionally, the first half million PS3 systems shipped in North America will include one of this summer's biggest blockbuster hits from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," starring Will Ferrell, on high-definition BD format.

Q: What kind of HD era will the Xbox 360 create?A: The company is betting that high-definition TV sets will fall in price to as little as $400 by Christmas 2005. Microsoft specified that Xbox 360 games would have to comply with a minimum standard of being able to run at a resolution of 720p. Publishers who want to create 1080i games are free to do so. Richard Doherty, an analyst at Envisioneering, says that 720p will be the sweet spot of the market through 2006. But after that, 1080i will be the norm. That could create one problem. Games that are created for native 720p resolution may suffer from poor scaling chips. Doherty says that the games may have visual artifacts if they're stretched to run on native 1080p or 1080i TV sets. 2ff7e9595c
