Saturday, November 6th, 2010

This is one of the advantages that you get from buying your playstation 3 from an accredited dealer or from the manufacturer. You get the user manuals that will direct you in your daily operations of the playstation. If you did not buy a used playstation, then it should come with a manual; and in case you did not get one, you should download one from the internet. This is because it is very important that you learn all you want to know from the person who knows about the product most and that is of course the manufacturer. There are many types of manuals that will come with your gaming device; and therefore, it is imperative that you get access to all of them and that you follow their instructions to the letter.

There is the manual that will instruct you on how to install the gaming software into your playstation such that you can be able to play. This is very important as installing it without proper knowledge might be detrimental. Another important manual is the one that you use for trouble shooting and pinpointing trouble. If you are a first time user of the play station, then you will definitely need this because it will help to notice readily when something is amiss. Therefore, insist on this.

You can download all these manuals plus many more resources that would be helpful from the internet where they are available min PDF formats.

With the manual, it will be a step by step guide for all playstation owners and do not think that this one should only be used by the novice players, but it is for everyone. This is because with each evolutionary step that the playstation makes, other newer features are added. You can only learn about them from the manufacturer’s manuals.

How The Playstation 3 60 GB Evolved

Monday, October 11th, 2010

Sony Computer Entertainment has broken yet another boundary in console-based gaming with the release of its newest game console, the PlayStation 3. It was produced following the success of its recent predecessor, the PlayStation 2. It belongs to the seventh generation of video game consoles competing with Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360.

The Original SKUs: Playstation 3 60 Gb and 20 Gb 
 
During its first release in Japan on November of 2006, the PlayStation 3 has had two SKUs. The first one was a basic model – PlayStation 3 20 Gb while the other one was the PlayStation 3 60 Gb. Originally, both these models have hardware backwards compatibility for PS2 games. However, in January of 2007, Sony decided that the PlayStation 3 60 Gb version will not have a hardware backwards compatibility for PS2 but instead a software emulation of P2’s hardware will provide compatibility.
 
Since then, a lot of revisions have been made including the release of a new slim model in 2009.
 
The PlayStation 3 Hardware Models
 
The obvious differences between the PS3 hardware models including the original ones was the number of USB ports, color of the trim, minor changes to the air vents and a presence of a flash card reader door. However, all these models come with a one or two Six axis controllers and a DualShock 3 controller.
 
All supporting cables are also available for all models except the Ethernet cable which are exclusive only to the 20Gb, 60 Gb and CECHExx 80 Gb models.
 
Although all models are equipped with software emulations to support the original PlayStation, support for PS2 backwards compatibility has diminished with the development of newer models. Also all models include an 802.11 b/g WI-Fi excluding the 20 Gb model. However, the PlayStation 3 60 Gb model was to be the only configuration to have an internal IEEE 802.11 b/g WI-fi, flash card readers (SD card, Compact Flash, Microdrive, Memory Stick/PRO/Duo) and a chrome trim.
 
Phasing Out The PlayStation 60 Gb Model
 
The Playstation 3 60 Gb has a lot of features as compared to the other PS3 hardware models. However, Sony Computer Entertainment have decided to phase out the 60Gb model in Europe. The condition is that once all remaining stocks of the 60 Gb model had been sold out, the only model available left will be the 40 Gb model.
 
The reason behind this phasing our of the Playstation 3 60 GB model is that Sony the 40 Gb model can be easily upgraded or improved. The firm believes that although the 40 Gb model lacks the PS2 backwards compatibility, it would less important as there will be up to 65 PS3 games coming out in the market. 
 
As Sony advances in the world of console-gaming, they need to make revisions of their console models which includes eliminating hardware models such as the fate of the Playstation 3 60 Gb model.
