Sony's current gen gaming console released in 2006. When released, the console was overpriced at $500 and $600 (although, this is nothing new). The console has built in wi-fi, blue ray player, and a removable hard drive. The console plays PlayStation 3 games, is able to play DVDs, CDs, BlueRay disks, and mp3s. It also features and internet browser. A PlayStation 3 owner can create a free account with the PlayStaion Network and will be able to download demos, buy certain games online (including certain PlayStation One classics), and game online. Currently, the price for the system is $300 and there is new "slim" model.
The system is in competition with Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360. Some argue that PS3 is the most powerful system of the three. Some developers have stated that the system is harder to program for. Just like the other systems, PS3 has a loyal fan base who feels that this system is best of the three and that the other two extremely inferior (these people are known as fanboys/girls and are extremely annoying).
Even though, the system has been on the market for a few years, it has suffered in sales, although, the sales have been climbing. Some argue, that the PS3 is a big disappointment and failure(like Sega Saturn). Due to recently dropped price, the system has seen a climb in sales.
Performance wise, the system has a low failure rate. On the other hand, there are constant firmware updates.
A note to fanboys and fangirls: Whatever system you support, you need to stop bashing the other systems. It is pointless and will not magically make the your system any better. All you do is try to justify your choice of a system. You are assuring yourselves that you made the right choice. All of the systems have their pros and cons. So, grow up and enjoy whatever system you have.

Get the playstation week mug.An umbrella term for eye conditions resulting from excessive gaming sessions. The main symptom of Playstation Eyes is the sensation that one's eye balls are about to fall out. Early warning signs of Playstation Eyes include a zombified, vacant expression, a rapid reddening of the eyes and above all, a severe dryness, as though Bear Grylls has quaffed on your Vitreous gel.
I'm sorry old chap, but I am going to have to call a halt to the COD session - I can feel the onset of Playstation Eyes.

Get the playstation eyes mug.An upcoming gaming console to be released this "Holiday Season" and will cost ONLY 399$ but will require a Playstation Plus membership to play online (50$ a year). Will be able to share games still, because the Xbox one won't. Basically the gaming console that will run Microsoft out of business because of their failed attempt to create a next gen console (Xbox one) at cost a whopping 500$ and is the size of the VCR you have in your attic or close, and won't be able to share games.
Sony: WE WILL LAUNCH PS4! And only for 399$!
Xbox one buyer: does it come with lube and ointment?
Sony: what for?
Xbox one buyer: so I can relieve the pain from Microsoft fucking me in the ass..
Sony: Playstation 4 will have that too!
