It is also the only game console that able to act as Bluray disc player in the market now. What is a Bluray Disc player? It is similar to the DVD players that most of us know, just that it use to run Bluray disc.

A piece of bluray disc can save data up to 54 Gigs whereby normal double layer DVD disc can only save data up to 9 Gigs.

In shorts, by having more storage space in the Bluray disc, it can carry 6 times more data than the DVD we use now; which able to contribute high definition effects to the TV pictures that shown on the screen.

You can use the playstation 3 console to watch HD movies if you want to :)

Before that, you need to have a set of HDTV (either plasma TV or LCD flat screen TV will do, just that LCD is better for your health since it do not spread any radiation effects )and HDMI Cable ( High Definition Multimedia Interface ) to connect from your playstation 3 to your High Definition TV in order to have these HD effects.

Let me explain in a bit more here :-

HD means "high definition". You know, our TV screen picture is build up by lot of small pixels just like our PC screen. If the TV screen picture is build up by more pixels, the picture will become more clear and sharp; and more pixels will required more storage space that pictures produce by Bluray Disc will be much higher quality compare to DVD disc, because it has more storage space to carry more pixels.

HDTV able to shown all the small pixels in the TV screen and you need HDMI cable to transmit large volume of pixels from your playstation 3 to your HDTV to give you HD effects. Are you getting more clear now?

You might also want to increase your movie or gaming experience by attached a home theater system to your HDTV to enhance the audio effects which can up to 7.1 channels.
