PlayStation 3 isn't all that's new in the world of PlayStation. The launch of the new system heralds the arrival of PlayStation Network - a connected service that delivers the very best in entertainment, straight into your living room. Play online games, watch the latest movie trailers in High Definition (HD ready TV required), or browse the wealth of game and video content in PlayStation®Store - PlayStation Network makes it all easy.

Connecting your PS3 to PlayStation Network is simple, and opens up a whole new world of entertainment and communication options.

Play online (for free)

Once you have connected your PS3 system to your broadband connection, signing up to PlayStation Network is free, allowing you to play online at no additional cost. And with games like MotorStorm, Resistance: Fall of Man and Ridge Racer 7 offering comprehensive multiplayer modes, there's never been a better time to try network gaming.

Play Gran Turismo HD Concept (for free)

Signing up to PlayStation Network also means you can access the PlayStation Store, where you can download all manner of brilliant things, like full games, demos, videos, and additional content for your favourite games.

Among these is Gran Turismo HD Concept - the first chance to sample Polyphony Digital's legendary driving simulator on PS3 - which is free to download for everyone that signs up to the PlayStation Network. Featuring a stunning Alpine track and a selection of ten uncannily realistic cars rendered in crisp High Definition graphics, Gran Turismo HD Concept challenges you to hone your skills by uploading and ranking your lap times against the rest of the community's efforts.

As a glimpse into what may await in the next full Gran Turismo game, it's truly compelling - and it's only available on PlayStation Network.
