==Features== ===Hardware=== The PlayStation 3 features a Blu-ray Disc drive for games, Blu-ray movies, DVDs, CDs, and other optical media. Originally, the PS3 was made available with hard drives of 20 and 60 GB; but various sizes up to 500 GB have been made available over the years. All PS3 models can have their hard drives upgraded. The console uses the Cell microprocessor, designed by Sony, Toshiba, and [[IBM]], as its CPU. The system has Bluetooth 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, and HDMI 1.4 built in. Wi-Fi networking is also built-in on all but the 20 GB models. ===Controller=== [[File:PS3_Mando.jpg|thumb|PlayStation 3's controller]] At E3 2005, the Dual Shock 3 controller with a crescent-shaped design was shown for the PlayStation 3. However, the model was changed to one similar to the Dual Shock 2 controller of the PS2 because of negative response from gamers. Sony later introduced the Sixaxis controller which exhibits six degrees of freedom. The controller is also as lightweight as the Dual Shock 2, making the [[Xbox 360]] controller look like a paperweight. The controls are the same as the old Dual Shock controller but the vibrating features have been removed and replaced with a motion sensor. The controller also uses wireless Bluetooth technology and can be wired and charged with an [[USB]] cable. ===Software===
