PlayStation 3 Competitions: System Essentials
The Sony PlayStation 3 (commonly abbreviated as PS3) is a seventh-generation console, termed part of the “next generation” in video game consoles along with the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. The PlayStation 3, which was first released in Japan on November 11, 2006, succeeds the PlayStation 2 as the third home video game console from Sony Computer Entertainment.
While Play Station 2 ushered in the online video game tournament, PS3 breaks new ground with PlayStation Network. Rather than relying on game developers for online PlayStation competition capabilities, the PS3 offers a free, unified, online multiplayer connectivity function, PlayStation Network. This built-in functionality more easily enables online PS3 tournaments and two-player PS3 challenges between gamers around the globe. For BringIt members, this means earning money via a PlayStation 3 competition is that much more efficient!
PlayStation 3 Tournaments: Pros of the Platform
The introduction of Play Station Network wasn’t the only game-changing enhancement of the Play Station 3 platform. With its height-of-definition Blue-ray Disc drive, mega units of media storage, proprietary video download and delivery service, and the ability to play not only Blue-ray Discs but also DVDs, CDs, and PS1 and 2 games—as well as transfer them to a PlayStation Portable to take them on the go—it’s more a question of what the PlayStation 3 can’t offer as opposed to what it can accomplish.
More specifically, added or enhanced features and functionality of the Play Station 3 include the following:
- PlayStation Network—the unified online gaming capability—is the most defining advancement of the PlayStation 3, further supporting online PlayStation 3 tournaments between video game aficionados around the world
- Blue-ray Disc player—which rivals the quality of standalone systems—solidifies the PlayStation 3 as a comprehensive entertainment system for the consummate entertainment enthusiast
- All-in-one video delivery service—makes the console more than just the backbone of the PlayStation 3 battle (really, is there more?); part of PS3’s multimedia capacity includes the ability to download a steadily-increasing number of full-length movies, TV shows, and even original programming, available for rent or purchase
- Transfer to PSP—means you can seamlessly move downloaded content to your PlayStation Portable for viewing almost anywhere
- Backward compatibility—as with other Sony systems—allows PS3 gamers to get use out of their old (i.e. PS1 and PS2) games a little longer
- Built-in wireless capability—available in the 40, 60, and 80 GB PlayStation 3 models—allows you to consolidate your home connectivity mechanisms by using your PS3 as your wireless Internet agent
