The Playstation 3 250GB console is slimmer, lighter, has a larger Hard-Drive.  The Playstation 3 (PS3) is designed to be the centre of your home entertainment system.  The PS3 does it all: play the latest and greatest games, store and play your digital photos, videos and music, browse the internet and play Blu-ray movies.

Look at it this way, every member of the family will get use out of the Playstation 3.  During the day or evening kids will play some of the latest games and will be kept entertained for hours.  Once they have gone, mum and dad can sit back, relax and watch the latest movies in Full HD (although the kids know that mum and dad will play their games when they are not around). This is the one answer to your home entertainment needs and will open a world of family console gaming.
