After some delay, video game enthusiasts can finally mark a date on their calendars for the release of Sony’s highly anticipated PlayStation 3. Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) has announced that the next-generation video-game console will be available at retail worldwide on Nov. 17 for the U.S. price of $499 (20GB) and $599 (60GB).
The PS3 unit will be available in “clear black” and will come equipped with Blu-ray disc capability, Giga-bit Ethernet, a pre-Installed hard drive disc and the combination of Cell and RSX(TM) processors. In addition to playing next-gen titles, the machine will be compatible with a vast catalog of PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games.
In addition, a new controller has been created with a high-precision, highly sensitive six-axis sensing system that is capable of processing all parameters within the controller itself, thereby eliminating the need for any additional settings on the display system. By applying this technology, it will become possible to freely control the PS3 system over the network.
