PlayStation®3 is not just about the games - at its heart beats a powerful Blu-ray Disc™ player plus a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to look after your other video files.

PlayStation®3 has a Blu-ray Disc™ Player built in. Watch your favourite films in true High Definition (up to 1080p depending on your television). With a massive capacity on each BD, allowing up to three hours of HD video plus nine hours of Standard Definition (SD) bonus material to be stored on one double layer Blu-ray Disc™, you'll be sure of no disc-swapping interruptions.

Your visual entertainment doesn't start and end with the astonishing Blu-ray Disc™ Player. As the heart of your home multimedia enjoyment, PS3™ is also the perfect place to store, organise and enjoy an array of digital video files. Store your existing digital movies on the PlayStation®3 system's Hard Disk Drive, plus download new content from PlayStation®Store including High Definition movie and game trailers.

You can also access video files stored on your PS3™ via Remote Play with your PSP™. Build a massive library of staggering visual entertainment on your PS3™, and access it in a different location via PSP™.
