Donning a processor 35 times faster than PS2, the PS3 will act as a DVD player, DVD recorder, and DVR (digital video recorder), in addition to playing PS1 and PS2 games.
Microsoft touted the new Xbox as an entertainment hub, but the jury is still out as to what it has on Sony's version, as every Xbox feature seems to be answered and one-upped.
The next generation console will use high capacity Blu-Ray Disc ROM technology to answer Xbox's current generation hardware, a 54-gigabyte hard drive to Xbox's 20 gigabytes, and seven Bluetooth wireless remote control support compared to Xbox's maximum of four.
PlayStation 3 also comes with an ability to link to 2 separate screens as well as to PlayStaionPortables.
Other features include Memory Stick, SD, and CompactFlash media slots, a bay for an optional hard drive, and broadband Ethernet connections for real time networking, Internet access, and chat.
The XBox came out along side the PS2, and because of that it failed miserably. Microsoft is hoping bringing out the XBox360 6 months ahead of time will give it an edge before everyone realizes it is a waste of money. Hopefully no poor soul falls for the MS blunder.
If you want to waste your money on a video game console, you really should save it for the PS3.
