Collection: Sony PlayStation 3 Games

Released on November 11, 2006, in Japan, the Sony PlayStation 3 is a seventh-generation game console from Sony. It competes with the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii. The Sony PlayStation 3 is the first console in the series to introduce the use of motion-sensing technology through its Sixaxis wireless controller. The console also incorporates a Blu-ray Disc player and features high-definition resolution. The Sony PlayStation 3 was originally offered with either a 20 GB or 60 GB hard drive, but over the years its capacity increased in increments available up to 500 GB. The Sony PlayStation 3 has sold over 80 million consoles worldwide as of November 2013.

Like its predecessors, the Sony PlayStation 3 was re-released in 2009 as a "slim" model. The redesigned model is 33% smaller, 36% lighter, and consumes 34% to 45% less power than previous models. In addition, it features a redesigned cooling system and a smaller Cell processor which was moved to a 45nm manufacturing process. It sold in excess of a million units within its first 3 weeks on sale. The redesign also features support for CEC (more commonly referred to by its manufacturer brandings of BraviaSync, VIERA Link, EasyLink, and others) which allows control of the console over HDMI by using the remote control as the controller. The Sony PlayStation 3 Slim also runs quieter and is cooler than previous models due to its 45 nm Cell. The Sony PlayStation 3 Slim no longer has the "main power" switch (similar to PlayStation 2 Slim), like the previous Sony PlayStation 3 models, which was located at the back of the console. It was officially released on September 1, 2009, in North America and Europe and on September 3, 2009, in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.

In 2012, Sony revealed a new "Super Slim" Sony PlayStation 3. The new console, with a completely redesigned case that has a sliding door covering the disc drive (which has been moved to the top of the console), is 4.3 pounds, almost three pounds lighter than the previous "slim" model. The console comes with either 12GB flash memory or a 250GB, 500GB hard drive. Several bundles which include a Sony PlayStation 3 Super Slim and a selection of games were available.
