PS3 or Playstation 3 is the third gaming console from Sony. Now needless to say, Sony has turned out to be a big player in the gaming arena. Nintendo’s DS was the top gaming console rocking the west till Sony decided to launch its PSP model. Now the play station portable came in the optical disc format and had pleasantly bizarre multimedia capacity but the issue was one of PSP hacks which surfaced and rowed the gaming console intro various wars of digital management rights. That was past though. Presently Sony has come up with PS3 which is like an answer to Microsoft’s Xbox and Nintendo’s Wii. These are seventh generation gaming consoles. We must not forget that Nintendo’s game boy and game cube started the gaming console’s seventh generation.

The PS3has a unified online gaming service; the play station network is the name by which the service is known and it goes against Sony’s policy of non-reliance on game developers for online game mobilization. PS3 comes with rich multimedia capacity and a similar optical disc format to its predecessors. Primarily it stores files through blue ray disc.

Sony has dutifully enabled the operating system for PS3 to be updated. The updates can be feasibly downloaded straightaway from the play station network and to the PS3 and further installed from the formal website of the play station to the PC. Many updates can be downloaded from game discs.

The PS3 comes with a great graphical user interface which makes the experience of playing games that much higher. It becomes a complete world in itself replete with doses of virtual reality. So if there is a game to be played, PS3 provides you all the ways of sensationalizing it. Be it the prison or the prison guards, the green golf turf or the golfers, the granary stores or the traffickers. Each thing is melodramatically highlighted through a powerful multimedia. Downloading music, videos, files are just as easy to do through various compatible portals. There is a one time membership fee but it is all worth it. What must be kept in mind though is that peer-to –peer programs are an unreliable method of file sharing and jam the PS3 with various Trojans and viruses. Further the quality of file largely suffers.

Another thing which should delight the users is the fact that PS3 is also homebrew compatible and hence a lot many hacks can be shoved into the PS3 hardware. What it does is make the PS3 run a certain number of unassigned codes and open the doors to far higher internet resources and multimedia capacity. Imagine the opportunity of downloading music of far higher quality, downloading videos on a far bigger range; all this and much more can be easily arranged through the PS3 Hacks. Sony is shouting indictment for the hackers and is trying its bit to consistently upgrade the firmware but the chances of such an up gradation matching the skills of hackers are remote. Users want a maximum from their PS3 and they do not mind Sony’s declaration quoting a cancellation of warranties for PS3 machines running modified codes.
