The PLAYSTATION3 systems Cell Broadband Engine is the very thing that game developers have always dreamt about. Its unique multi-processing unit design represents a tour de force in parallel processing. The ability to do more of everything at the same time means more enemies, more AI, more explosions, and more realistic game play. Game play
that takes into account ragdoll physics and keyframe animation, enemy AI behaving unpredictably, glass cracking
based on the size of the object that impacted it, and individual flecks of dust in a beam of sunlight to create a more
believable and unique experience. The Cell Broadband Engine has the muscle and horsepower to move beyond artificial
intelligence. This is the power that is the digital soul of the PLAYSTATION3 system.

IT DREAMS IN BLU-RAY

leap forward in the advancement of data storage and high definition entertainment. But not as a simple evolution
of an existing format. Blu-ray is something entirely different, a revolution catapulting the high definition gaming
and movie experience into unknown frontiers. A revolution that finally frees game developers and moviemakers from
the constraints of storage space. And allows them to dream in Blu-ray.
