Because of plenty of media attention and CEO Ken Kutaragi's obnoxious jingoism,the PS3 has gained VIP status,and yes it's a formidable force,
The PS3 is powered by the Sony-Toshiba-IBM Cell Broadband Engine,popularly known as cell processor.It sports a single Power PC core helped along by a team of eight Synergistic Processing Elements,one of which has been reserved for redundancy.The graphics are taken care by Nvidia's RSX GPU and the hole system is capable of nearly two teraflops i.e. the double of overall capacity of Xbox 360. The biggest challenge against the game developers is to make a game that truly exploits the capabilities of this console.
The another thing is the change of controller.When you first pick up the PS3's SIXAXIS controller it feels very light as the vibration is gone but it only sounds good not feels good.The controller is wireless and also motion sensitive,which means you can control the game by tilting the controller in right directions.The lightness of the controller make it over-tilt even when you are not over-excited. The L2 and R2 buttons have been replaced by analogue triggers and they are awful.The fingers slip off when you apply too much force as they are convex,they are placed awkwardly and holding the was very uncomfortable.
The users will be able to access the playstation network free of cost and they will have acess to all the contents-game demos,HD movies,etc. and they can also play multiplayer games.PlayStation home will also be accessible.
The cost of PlayStation is Around Rs 35000 and that is too much,and you will also have to pay for a HDTV to take full advantage of it.Titles will also be around Rs 2500 and that is also too much for an average home user.
