PlayStation 3 launches in Europe

PlayStation®3

It's a red letter day for all of us as the next generation of home entertainment arrives in a sleek, black shell.

The world's most popular entertainment family, PlayStation, is pleased to announce the European launch of the latest addition to the family - a super-powered, high definition, sleek, black system named PlayStation 3.

This new arrival has a huge array of features; the amazing combination of the Cell Broadband Engine™ and RSX Graphics Processor gives PS3 the power to deliver High Definition visuals (up to 1080p), astonishing A.I. and unprecedented gameplay.

PlayStation 3 also boasts a Blu-ray Disc drive for next generation gaming and movie experiences, all in High Definition, of course. An amazing line-up of entertainment is waiting for you, including games such as MotorStorm and Resistance: Fall of Man, and movies such as Casino Royale and Superman Returns. This is backed up by a massive 60GB Hard Disk Drive for storing games, data, movies, photos and music for you to access whenever you choose.

A next generation system demands a next generation controller and PS3 has the best. The SIXAXIS Wireless Controller has evolved from the iconic shape of PlayStation controllers of the past, to combine the much-loved look and feel with 21st century motion-sensing technology. The Wireless Controller becomes an extension to your body as the movement of your hand is reflected perfectly on screen. Steer with the controller like a steering wheel, send your virtual aeroplane into a climb or dive as you pitch your SIXAXIS Wireless Controller up and down, and this is just the beginning.

As a naturally online system, PlayStation 3 offers you a seamless experience via PlayStation®Network. In this interactive environment you can enjoy free online gaming, and chat with friends and family around the world, all from the comfort of your sofa. Also, from the PlayStation®Store you can access even more PS3 wonders. Free game demos, movie trailers and other PS3 goodies are yours for the downloading, along with an array of premium content such as full games and extra game content, available for pocket money prices .

So what are you waiting for? PlayStation 3 is in stores now. For more information, keep an eye on eu.playstation.com/ps3.
