One Playstation 3 Size Fits All

Any home entertainment enthusiast probably already has a stack of consumer electronics by their television. It might seem like an impossible task to fit anything else on the shelf, but what they might not consider is how tiny and conveniently sized the Playstation 3. Not only that, but the PS3 can replace several pieces of home entertainment equipment with better versions, all in the same package. With any home entertainment system, the Playstation 3 size will never be a factor when purchasing.

Replacing other Home Entertainment Equipment

You can just get rid of that CD player, DVD player, and home theater PC if you purchase a Playstation 3. Not only does the Playstation 3 size allow it to be placed anywhere, but the console includes the ability to play CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. Not only that, but the PS3 can also output to full 1080p format, something that normal DVD players cannot, as well as playing full surround sound while utilizing Dolby Digital and DTS technologies to give a truly cinematic home theater experience.

Even if you decide to keep your old equipment, the Playstation 3 size allows it to be squeezed into some very tight place. Unlike most other home theater equipment, the PS3 can be stood up on its side or placed like a normal piece of equipment, allowing to fit wherever there is room. At just 13.5” x 3.25”, the PS3 can fit in very tight places. Some home theater equipment can be 6” or thicker, twice the thickness of the PS3. Wouldn't it be nice to get rid of a lot of those needless wires making the area behind your television messy? With the PS3, your home theater is consolidated.

How to Keep Cool Even When it's Hot

However, the Playstation 3 size does not hinder the system's dissipation of heat, a key aspect of any electronic system. System overheating leads to instability, a problem that has plagued Microsoft's Xbox 360 from its launch nearly two years ago. If components like the central processing unit get too hot from using a decent amount of electricity in a very confined space, they can die prematurely by degrading the quality of the molecular connections within them. The PS3 has a better cooling design that allows it to whisk heat away from vital system components and dissipate it into the atmosphere.

The PS3 is perfect for replacing many components of a home theater system. Besides the obvious ability to play Playstation 1, 2, and 3 game titles, the PS3 is also capable of playing CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs at 1080p with surround sound. Even if you don't have a lot of room to spare, the Playstation 3 size allows it to be placed just about anywhere.
