The Sony PS3 was the hottest thing going for the Christmas season in 2007.  It was the hottest electronic product launch in recent memory if not of all time.  The game console was sold out everywhere and was fetching unbelievable prices on Ebay.  For most business’s it was too little too late to help their bottom line for Christmas sales. 

The problem is one that has been seen before; you cannot sell what you do not have.  Yes, there were lists for the PS3 a mile long at almost every outlet.  A list for upcoming transactions does not pay the bills.  Retailers were upset that there were not more console’s available on their shelves.

Gamers everywhere felt the same way.  They camped out in long lines for the chance to get their hands on that sleek black gaming machine.  Sony also pulled in huge numbers of older generation gamers.  This is not just your kids gaming console.  The Sony PS3 is playing on many a big screen TV everywhere.  The hardware and tremendous graphics capability have much to do with this popularity with the more mature gamer.  Some of the features that make the PS3 stand out are:

  • Killer CPU.  3.2GHz PowerPC core with 512KB onboard cache memory.
  • Awesome GPU. (Graphics processing unit) 550 MHz speed with parallel shader pipelines.
  • 256MB main memory and graphics memory.  Giving the system more power and speed.
  • Mind blowing 5.1 channel Dolby sound.  Fantastic sound.
  • Blueray media.  The new winning standard offering beautiful picture and sound.
  • Detachable HD slot. Very nice touch that allows portability.

These are just a few of the features that make the Sony PS3 the electronic gadget you just have to own.  Good luck finding one and happy gaming!
