Bargain Home Entertainment System with a Playstation 3 20gb

Sony’s Playstation 3 is the most powerful of the three main next generation consoles. However, its value increases substantially whenever people use this console as a home entertainment system. Included with the Playstation 3 console are the ability to browse the internet, play music, and watch Blu-ray discs. In fact, users can save $100 simply by purchasing the Playstation 3 20gb version instead of the 60gb version, making the 20gb version perfect for those that don’t want to store a lot of media on their Playstation 3 (and 20gb can still store a nice amount of media).

Best Bargain, Period

Blu-ray discs support full 1080p resolution, the best standard in the world today. However, most stand alone players cost in excess of $1000. With the Playstation 3 20gb, users can get the full functionality of standalone Blu-ray players at less than half the cost! Not only that, but this console can also play DVD movies and CD audio among other media formats, making it the cornerstone of any home entertainment system.

Beyond the Blu-ray capabilities, the Playstation 3 20gb can browse the Internet, allowing users to have up to six open browsers at any given time so they can view multiple sites at once. Check e-mail, download pictures, and more with the browser. As connectivity goes, the Playstation 3 20gb offers users multiple ways to get connected to the Internet. The wireless standards 802.11b and 802.11g are supported, and even without a wireless router, users can connect the Playstation 3 to the Internet via an Ethernet cable.

However, Sony has bundled more awesome features than the ones just featured above. The Playstation 3 20gb has backwards compatibility with previous Playstation and Playstation 2 games, giving the Playstation 3 a game library of thousands of games choose from. Favorites like Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid 2 can be played without having to use old equipment. Although designed to play Playstation 3 games, the Cell processor is so powerful it can easily compute games coded for different hardware. Future firmware updates will also increase backwards compatibility.

Sony’s newest offering to the next generation consoles offers a bundle of entertainment for an absolute bargain. Blu-ray is expected to become the next-gen movie format, replacing DVDs in just a few years. For the best gaming experience, users also get the benefits of a CD, DVD, and Blu-ray player and an Internet browser, making the Playstation 3 20gb the best value on the consumer electronics market.
