What's Up With PlayStation 2 and 3?

A Guide to What's Available for SCEA's PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and the PSP System

The PlayStation Systems. As the third installment in the line of PlayStation products, PlayStation 3 ($599.99) boasts new parallel processing that enables broadband multiplayer action. Its built-in Blu-Ray disc drive promises high-definition gaming, tons of media storage, streaming videos, music, and an online service, leaving you with little to desire.

Its predecessor, system number two, sells for only $19.99 and networks as well (just not as fast as system number three). With over 1,400 games to choose from, it's hard to argue against this bargain.

PSP is hot again ($169.99) and integrates 3D gaming on a widescreen with high-fidelity stereo music, full-motion video, communication, and wireless networking.

PlayStation 2 Accessories. If you're still "old schooling" your PlayStation, then you'll enjoy PlayStation's Dual Shock 2 Analog Controller ($24.99), Wireless NERF controller ($29.99), or its 8MB memory card ($24.99). But the music doesn't stop there. It plays on with the SingStar Pop game and accessory pack ($49.99) or Guitar Hero II ($79.99).

PlayStation 3 Accessories. What's required? The PlayStation 3 system sports two different kinds of controllers: a standard Chillstream controller ($39.99) and a Sixaxis Wireless controller ($49.99). Combined with the Blu-ray remote control ($24.99), you can have complete domination over your system in no time.

PSP Accessories. Never interrupt your gameplay again with a 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo ($69.99) or 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo ($109.99). Carry your handheld in a Platinum Pack ($19.99) or Traveler Case ($19.99). And don't forget a carry-all for your media ($14.99). PSP's Media Manager ($24.99) will keep you organized as well.
