If you’re a gamer, there’s a good chance you own one of the three major consoles (Ps3, Xbox 360, Wii), or at the very least one of the more high-powered handhelds (PSP, Vita, DSi, 3DS). This little piece is meant for those individuals who own Sony products (Ps3, PSP, Vita). If you actually own a Ps3 and are not already a member of the Ps3 network, you owe it to yourself to check it out.
Here are just a few of the benefits of the Ps3 network:
Free online multiplayer-based gaming
Cross-platforming (Vita to Ps3 for example; some gaming franchises have special offers and modes of play for those who own both consoles)
Access to streaming music, movies and TV (via Netflix, Hulu plus, Amazon, and others)
HD streaming content (including 3D movies and video!)
An extended social network of friends and gamers
Special offers (free games, for example)
If you’re serious about your entertainment and gaming, it’s hard to imagine why you wouldn’t want to join the Ps3 network. Aside from the nearly limitless gaming potential that’s offered via this network, it’s extremely refreshing to be able to connect with a large community of like-minded individuals on a regular basis.
