This package contains the Sony Playstation 3 with integrated 40GB hard disc and a wireless controller, plus Grand Theft Auto IV game.
The Sony Playstation 3 is a feature packed sleek unit producing stunning visuals, fantastic audio and an explosive gaming experience. Building on the legendary Playstation and Playstation 2, the Playstation3 or PS3, is a technological leap forward.
The PS-3 features a seven core Cell CPU, 40Gb hard disc, 256MB of main memory, NVIDIA RSX graphics with another 256MBs of dedicated memory and can deliver 2ch, 5.1ch, or 7.1ch audio. The PS-3 features a Blu Ray Disc (BD) drive allowing you to watch the latest high definition movies without the need for a separate Blu Ray player. It also delivers staggering high definition video output (up to 1080p) and Dolby True-HD audio, so both movies and games will look and sound fantastic. If that wasn't enough, the PS-3 is also networkable, offering wireless, Bluetooth and wired connectivity to provide internet access and file sharing functions.
Calling the Playstation-3 a games console simply does not do it justice, it is a complete home entertainment system with awesome capabilities.
