The new 160GB PlayStation 3 model has more than twice the storage capacity of the current models and can store and deliver more entertainment than ever before – perfect for people with an insatiable thirst for downloading and storing content.
This vast increase in available storage space gives owners the capacity to store large amounts of digital content in the same place, making the 160GB PS3 perfect for people who love to download. It allows for increased video, music, and photo storage as well as room to download even more games, game extras, playable demos, and trailers from PlayStation Network – making PS3 an even more attractive buy for those looking for an all-in-one entertainment system. With the new 160GB PS3, owners will have all of their media right where they need it.
Downloading content via PlayStation Network is one of the core experiences of PS3. PlayStation Store is the online destination for downloading games, extra content for games and more – all of which require hard drive space. In addition, 'SingStar' allows owners to download track after track from SingStore, while 'Buzz!: Quiz TV' is supported by downloadable quiz packs direct from the developers.
'Little Big Planet' encourages players to download and share levels that other gamers have created. Meanwhile, 'PlayTV' allows people to record free-to-air digital TV. There's an impressive amount of content available and multi-media fans require a storage solution for all their needs.
Besides the extra hard drive space, you'll also get all of the other features of PS3: the high definition Blu-ray Disc player allowing for amazing sound and images, internet access, DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controllers, video chat, online play with other gamers across PlayStation Network – and a stunning and ever-growing range of next-generation games including 'Resistance 2', 'LittleBigPlanet', 'MotorStorm Pacific Rift', 'inFamous' and more.
