When the PlayStation came on the scene in September 1995, it shook up the video game industry. It was the first console to use compact discs, and it signalled a major shift away from cartridges. It was a hit right away, and PS1 units flew out of stores as quickly as they could be put on the shelves.
The PlayStation’s user interface is sleek, simple, and easy to navigate. The system displays all your games and apps on the front page, and navigating between them is lightning-quick. A small menu is available when you press the PS button in-game, letting you access settings, microphone and speaker options, trophies, and more.
You can connect the PlayStation to your home wireless network, or – for a faster connection and more stable download speeds – via an Ethernet cable connected directly to your modem. Once you’re set up, online gaming, video streaming, and social networking is at your fingertips.
The PlayStation also features a built-in web browser, which lets you check out the latest updates and news on Sony’s official website. This feature is a great way to stay on top of all the latest developments in the PlayStation world, including announcements about new games and hardware releases.
The PlayStation series of consoles has some exclusive games that are only available for PlayStation users. However, recent changes in Sony’s policy have allowed some of these exclusive titles to be released for PC as well, making them available to a wider audience than ever before.
