The PlayStation 3 features online capabilities, such as a buddy list, messaging, voice chat, online multiplayer gaming, and an online store from which full games and game add-ons can be purchased, and game trailers, movie trailers, playable demos, and wallpapers for the XMB can be downloaded for free.


The '''PlayStation 3''' is not yet released, but you can reserve this system at any major videogame store.
In addition to video games on Blu-ray Disc and games downloaded from the PlayStation Store, the PlayStation 3 can play Blu-ray Disc movies, and movies and music files both stored internally or from an external source such as CD, CD-R,CD-RW, DVD-R, or a USB device. All PlayStation 3 models are capable of playing PS1 games, but only some original models can play PS2 games.

The controller concept shown at E3 2005 resembled a boomerang, however at E3 2006 it was revealed that the final design will be an evolution of the DualShock 2, with a central button (a la the [[Xbox 360]]'s) and tilt sensing added. Rumble will be removed as it interferes with the tilt sensing.

==SIXAXIS==
Upon release, the PlayStation 3 used a controller named SIXAXIS. An evolution of the DualShock 2, the SIXAXIS controller added a central "Home" button and a tilt sensor to the design. The rumble function of the DualShock 2 was omitted from the SIXAXIS's design.
 
A year after the PlayStation 3's release in Japan, Sony introduced the DualShock 3 controller.  This controller has an exterior design nearly identical to that of the SIXAXIS, but is noticeably heavier. The DualShock 3 retains all the functions of the SIXAXIS, but adds rumble feedback. Sony has stopped production of the SIXAXIS controller, which will no longer be available after supplies sell out.
