It will support Blu-ray (obviously), DVD±R/W, CD-R/RW

Backwards compatible with the PlayStation 2 and original Playstation

One 3.2GHz Cell processor—total system performance rated at 2.18 teraflops (uh, that’s actually about twice what Microsoft is claiming the Xbox 360 will do); it will have 256MB system RAM 3.2GHz, and 256MB GDDR VRAM at 700MHz

The nVidia graphics will be called the RSX (”Reality Synthesizer”), and will trump the Xbox 360 with 1080p (yes, that’s a p) graphics support.

There will be a 2.5-inch hard drive (i.e. laptop hard drive) attachment—a first for a Sony launch (no, we don’t count the PSX and/or the FF add-on)


Memory Stick Duo slot, and very surprisingly, an SD and CF slots

Bluetooth support with up to seven wireless controllers

Six USB system ports
