Already on sale in Japan and America, the system has been doing most notably well in the States. And in the UK, despite the high asking price of £425, theres huge anticipation building up to the launch with most electrical retailers promoting pre-order deals as gamers keen to buy the most technically advanced console on the market sign on the dotted line.

The driving force behind the PlayStation 3 is its much publicised Cell processor. Co-developed by IBM, Toshiba and Sony, this 3.2Ghz superchip has 64-bit PowerPC processing along with eight separate elements that can be assigned to specific tasks in a game such as handling animation, while another processes the Artificial Intelligence involved.
This increases the speed games run at, but not significantly so as Xbox 360 also has a 3.2Ghz chip built-in.
PlayStation 3 also includes a powerful 550hz Nvidia graphics card, offering true 1080p HD resolution and graphics that are ahead of anything else out there. Play Virtua Tennis 3 or Ridge Racer 7 and you cant fail to be impressed.
Xbox 360 features a 500Mhz graphics card that is undoubtedly stunning, but just falls short of the PS3s visual crispness, speed and immense attention-to-detail.
