Whether it’s gaming, Blu- ray movies, music or online services, experience it all with the PlayStation 3 system. All PlayStation 3 systems are already equipped with everything you need to play stereoscopic 3D games. The fourth generation of hardware released for the PlayStation 3 entertainment platform, the PlayStation 3 160GB system is the next stage in the evolution of Sony's console gaming powerhouse.

Yet the 160GB system manages to improve on this with its 45nm version of the processor, which although running at the same 60+nm speed as previous PS3 versions, uses less energy. This makes the unit's smaller size and quieter fan possible. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, the 160GB 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. (The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience) This console also provides for an extreme sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1. Finally, it features cross connectivity with your PC network and PlayStation Portable (PSP) and its pre-installed, 160GB hard disc drive allows you to save games as well as download content from The Internet. Unlike other models of the PlayStation 3, the 160GB system does not offer backwards compatibility. The same functionality now in a smaller, more quiet and energy efficient package View larger. Space saving when placed upright... View larger. As well as when horizontal View larger. A textured, no fingerprint finish View larger. Blu-ray, PlayStation Network Downloads and Beyond PlayStation 3 utilizes the Blu-ray disc media format, which gives you the best high-definition viewing experience on your television, by way of the format's ability to hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This tremendous capacity, combined with the awesome power of the system's processor and graphics card, promises an endless stream of mind-blowing games, and other multimedia content. However, this does not mean that the PS3 is limited to Blu-ray discs - it also supports CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. In addition, PlayStation 3 system software includes BD Live support that allows you to play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE). This means that you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format to obtain additional features. Of course, PS3 owners also receive free access to the PlayStation Network (PSN), where through the PlayStation Store and PlayStation Home, they 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.Sensational Controller The Dualshock 3 wireless controller(one controller) included with The PlayStation 3 160GB system provides the most intuitive gameplay experience, with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive Sixaxis motion-sensing technology. Each hit, crash, and explosion is more realistic when the user feels the rumble right in the palm of their hand. It can even detect natural movements for real-time and high precision interactive play, acting as a natural extension of the user’s body. Dualshock 3 utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless game play and the controller’s detachable USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller when connected to the PlayStation 3. By integrating all of these features into the popular PlayStation controller design, the Dualshock 3 further enhances the advanced gameplay experience only available on the PlayStation 3 system.Synch with Your Other Sony HDMI Devices The PlayStation 3 160GB system features HDMI + Bravia Synch functionality. Bravia Synch allows connectivity between Sony HDMI products without having to utilize multiple remote controls. This means that with the push of one button, users can control compliant Sony devices connected to your PS3 via HDMI cable.What's in The Box:New slimmer and lighter PS3 system with a 160 GB HDD, Internet-ready built-in Wi-Fi, 2 USB ports and HDMI + Bravia Synch output for 1080p resolution and connectivity between other Sony HDMI products.Dualshock 3 wireless controller(one controller).AC power cord, AV cable and USB cable.Free PlayStation Network membership.System Specifications: CPU Cell Broadband Engine (Cell/B.E.)

  • Fun for the Whole Family:
Let me give a little bit of background before diving into a review. When the original NES came out, I was hooked. I didn't think anything could be better than Super Mario Bros. Then there was the Sega Genesis...and as I entered college, the original Playstation. Wow! After college I settled down, got married, had children, and stopped playing games for a while. Just 2 years ago I picked up a wii "for the family" and have enjoyed it since. Mario Galaxy 2 looks great and is a great deal of fun to play...and there are other great games on the wii as well. For the record, I'd never played a PS2, PS3 or Xbox. Don't get me wrong, the wii is great. There are a number of wii exclusives that I love. But I was still wanting something with some better graphics/games and thus began my research between xbox and ps3. Both are great systems! This was going to be harder than I thought. In the end, I felt like the game selection for the PS3 slightly outweighed that of the xbox for the family. The PS3 has LittleBigPlanet and Ratchet and Clank, as well as Uncharted/Metal Gear/etc. And while the xbox has some great exclusives as well, I was leaning toward the PS3. When I saw that the PS3 slim increased the hard drive from 120gb to 160gb I finally bit the bullet. I was wanting to get a blu-ray player sometime so I figured I'd just get the ps3. Just set it up last night. Set-up was a breeze and the graphics, wow, they truly are stunning. As I said, the wii is great and I'll continue to play and enjoy wii-exclusive games, but compared to xbox/ps3 graphics, there really is no comparison. I'm really looking forward to NHL 11 and Gran Turismo 5 (as the wii is lacking in these types of games). Overall, I'm thrilled with the PS3. I'm looking forward to getting my music and other media files loaded onto it and finally beginning the world of blu-ray movies and advanced gaming. While I do wish I could load files to it from a device formatted to something other than FAT, it's certainly not a deal-breaker. The PS3 works as it should, set-up is simple, has free online, great exclusive games, and so much more. Whether or not it's the right choice for you is up for you to decide. The Xbox is also a great system, but I'm happy with my final decision. Note: Extras you may need: - Extra controller, PS3 blu-ray remote control, and an hdmi or set of component cables depending on your video capabilities. ... show more

  • Great value for nostalgic purposes.
I never opened it up to look at the guts of this refurbished work but it looked clean on the outside. The PS3 works great and I have about 30 hrs on it so far. I loved that it was at the factory level of firmware so I could play my old ps3 game with glitches and all. If you want to download anything you have to update it though. Overall I'm very satisfied with the quality of this product. ... show more

  • Multi-talented Gaming & Entertainment Technology
I'll be honest and admit I wasn't at all in the market to buy a game console. Years ago, I had an XBox, loved Knights of the Old Republic on it, but hardly played anything else. Eventually I sold it to a friend. But this year we decided to get a new TV, and not only did the Sony Bravia make the top of the list of candidates for us, back during Cyber-Week, Amazon was offering BOTH the 3D accessory starter kit AND a Playstation 3 for free. Due to delivery scheduling, we got the PS3 before the television, so I hooked it up and began playing a few games with it -- at first just a few freebies from the PS3 network. Then, realizing I was having fun, I got a couple more, including LittleBigPlanet. When the TV finally arrived, it was like the two were made for each other, the Sony Bravia NX810 and the PS3. One thing Sony knows is product integration. Anyway, there are better PS3-oriented bundles out there, and more powerful models, and no, we don't (yet?) have the PS3 Move accessory, but what there is was way more than we expected from a promotional offer. Pros: - Excellent out-of-box experience and pain-free set-up. - Nice wireless rumble & tilt-equipped controller (wish it came with 2 though) - Much faster in loading DVDs and blu-ray discs than our older Sony blu-ray player. - Picture quality (1080p) is amazing. - The PS3's 3D capabilities are also really great. Cons: - While blue-tooth makes for a nice controller, it makes for a lousy remote control set-up and impossible therefore to use a universal remote unless you have extra hardware to do the translating. Still, one can get a PS3 blu-ray player style remote for under $20, so it's not so bad. - Sometimes integration can go too far, in that I can't always tell when I'm operating the TV or the PS3. - Buying the unit straight out, one can find better bundle deals or more powerful models than this. Recommendations: - Do use the HDMI output for maximum quality. It's a must-use if you're going to play 3D games or movies on the PS3. - Broadband internet suggested to get the most out of the online functions, as well as for software updates. - If you add 3D capabilities to your TV -after- having set up and running the PS3, you'll need to enable these functions on the PS3 video settings, otherwise the PS3 will claim there's no 3D hardware available, even if you've already done the firmware update. - If you recently bought a new Sony internet-capable TV, check the documentation for fliers and such. I found among ours an offer for several free downloadable 3D games. ... show more
