The PlayStation 3 is the most advanced computer system that serves as a platform to enjoy next generation computer entertainment contents in the home, realised through the combination of Cell and RSX processors. Having Giga-bit Ethernet and a pre-installed hard disk drive (HDD) as standard, users will be able to download a variety of contents as well as access on-line games and services over the network.

Equipped with basic input/output ports, the PlayStation 3 supports a broad range of displays from conventional NTSC/PAL standard TVs to the latest full HD (1080i/1080p) flat panel displays, offering the joy of the most advanced computer entertainment contents to homes around the world. For use in living rooms, maximum heat and noise reduction has been achieved with a noise level equivalent to that of the current slim-line PlayStation 2. With the overwhelming computational power of the Cell processor, the PS3 is capable of playing back content from Blu-Ray (BD) disc at a bit rate of multiplex 48Mbps with ease, the maximum bit rate defined in BD standards.

Asda stores currently have the console available with copies of Army Of Two and FIFA Street 3, as well as 300 on Blu-Ray, for £299.

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, on both the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3, is due for release on the 6th of June.

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is an upcoming game developed by Traveller’s Tales and published by LucasArts. It will allow players to recreate moments (a bit more humorously though) from the first three Indiana Jones films. It will feature the same drop in/out co-operative play mode as seen in the Lego Star Wars games.

Like Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, new moves will be added such as clinging onto branches during a jump using Indy’s whip.

Some of the playable characters include Sallah, Marcus Brody, the German mechanic, and Toht.

Amazon have both console versions available for £26.99 each.

There’s actually been a little criticism about this game, which is a shame as it’s quite good!

At Gamestation, XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 title Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is £24.99 when you buy any other game.

Unfortunately you have only a selected amount of games to choose from – so quite why it says "any other game", I have no idea.

There’s some PlayStation 3 deals floating around at the moment that I thought I’d let you in on (like I’m an insider – pfft!).

Play.com have the console available with a copy of Devil May Cry 4 for £279.99.

Meanwhile Currys have it bundled with copies of either MotorStorm and Resistance: Fall Of Man or MotorStorm and Ratchet And Clank: Tools Of Destruction, and an extra wireless controller – all for £299.99.

My personal recommendation is the Currys pack with Ratchet And Clank in it, simply because Resistance: Fall Of Man can be purchased fairly cheaply elsewhere.

Over at Game you can get a PlayStation 3 with two games and an extra controller for £299.99.

There are two bundles to choose from – one with Formula One: Championship Edition and Ratchet & Clank: Tools Of Destruction, and another pack with Resistance: Fall Of Man and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

I believe this offer ends on Sunday and is on instore as well.

The only differences between the two are that the Limited Edition one comes packaged in a tin and contains some art cards.
