Playstation 3 Model

The latest version of the Playstation series, the Playstation 3, was released in the market last November 2006, and it has stunned the video game console world with its exceptional high-tech features that has changed the way game entertainment is experienced. It has marked its place with consumers, and has ruled the console market since its release.

The Playstation 3 is designed to be more than simply a video game console; it supports every digital entertainment kind and is mainly a home-entertainment computer. The very special feature of the PS3 is probably its central processing unit (CPU) known as the Cell Processor. This Cell Processor was developed with the combined efforts of IBM, Toshiba, and Sony, and is their solution to the increasing trend of multi-core processing.

The Playstation 3 also comes in two models, the 20GB Playstation 3 Model and the 60GB Playstation 3 Model. The 20GB model has the console's basic configuration, and comes in a rather lower price (US$499 suggested retail price) than the 60GB model. The 60GB model or sometimes referred to as the "premium" version comes with a 60GB Serial ATA 2.5" internal hard drive, as well as more brilliant silver-colored trim, Wi-Fi connectivity, and multiple flash memory card readers; it costs a hundred dollars more though, with a suggested retail price of US$599. Here's a look at the specs of the 60GB Playstation 3 Model to get the idea of why it's more expensive:
