| The fourth generation of hardware released for the PlayStation 3 entertainment
platform, the PlayStation 3 120GB system is the next stage in the evolution of
Sony's console gaming powerhouse. Loaded with a mix of multimedia features and
functions available on earlier PlayStation 3 models, as well as a series of new
advancements and refinements, the PlayStation 3 120GB system is destined to push
the envelope in the realm of Next-Generation entertainment.
What's Under the Hood
As with previous models, the PlayStation 3 120GB system features an IBM "Cell"
processor and a co-developed NVIDIA graphics processor that together allow the
system to perform two trillion calculations per second. Yet the 120GB 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 120GB 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, 120GB hard disc drive allows
you to save games as well as download content from The Internet. Unlike The some
other models of The PlayStation 3, The 120GB system does not offer backwards
compatibility.

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. This doesn't mean though that The PS3 is limited to Blu-ray discs. It

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
