CHRIS 156 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Playstion release date 1994 The original PlayStation released in December 1994 was the first of the ubiquitous PlayStation series of console and hand-held game devices. It has included successor consoles and upgrades including the Net Yaroze (a special black PlayStation with tools and instructions to program PlayStation games and applications), "PSone" (a smaller version of the original) and the PocketStation (a handheld which enhances PlayStation games and also acts as a memory card). It was part of the fifth generation of video game consoles competing against the Sega Saturn and the Nintendo 64. By March 31, 2005, the PlayStation and PSone had shipped a combined total of 102.49 million units,[19] becoming the first video game console to sell 100 million units Playstion 2 Release 2000 Released in 2000, 15 months after the Dreamcast and a year before its other competitors, the Xbox and the Nintendo GameCube, the PlayStation 2 is part of the sixth generation of video game consoles, and is backwards-compatible with most original PlayStation games. Like its predecessor, it has received a slimmer redesign, and was also released built into the PSX DVR and the Sony BRAVIA KDL22PX300 HDTV. It is the most successful home console in the world,[22] having sold over 150 million units as of January 31, 2011.[3][23] On November 29, 2005, the PS2 became the fastest game console to reach 100 million units shipped, accomplishing the feat within 5 years and 9 months from its launch. This achievement occurred faster than its predecessor, the PlayStation, which took "9 years and 6 months since launch" to reach the same figure.[2] PlayStation 2 shipments in Japan ended on December 28, 2012.[24]The Guardian reported on January 4, 2013 that PS2 production had ended worldwide PSX Release 2003 Released solely in Japan in 2003, the Sony PSX was a fully integrated DVR and PlayStation 2 video game console. It was the first Sony product to utilize the XrossMediaBar (XMB)[70] and can be linked with a PlayStation Portable to transfer videos and music via USB.[71] It also features software for video, photo and audio editing.[70] PSX supports online game compatibility using an internal broadband adapter. Games that utilize the PS2 HDD (for example, Final Fantasy XI) are supported as well.[72] It was the first product released by Sony under the PlayStation brand that did not include a controller with the device itse Playstation 3 Release 2006 Released on November 17, 2006 in North America, the PlayStation 3 is a seventh generation game console from Sony. It competes with the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii. The PS3 is the first console in the series to introduce the use of motion-sensing technology through its Sixaxis wireless controller. The console also incorporates a Blu-ray Disc player and features high-definition resolution. The PS3 was originally offered with either a 20 GB or 60 GB hard drive, but over the years its capacity increased in increments available up to 500 GB. Like its predecessors, the PlayStation 3 was later released as a "slim" model. According to Sony Computer Entertainment, the PlayStation 3 has sold 70 million units worldwide as of November 4, 2012[4] (IDC January 2013 estimate: "about 77 million") Playstation 4... The PlayStation 4 (PS4) is an upcoming video game console from Sony Computer Entertainment announced at a press conference on February 20, 2013. In the meeting, Sony revealed some hardware specifications of the new console.[34][35] The eighth-generation system will introduce the x86 architecture to the PlayStation series and is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2013. According to lead system architect, Mark Cerny, development on the PlayStation 4 began as early as 2008.[36] PlayStation Europe CEO Jim Ryan emphasized in 2011 that Sony wanted to avoid launching the next-generation console behind the competition.[37] Among the new applications and services, Sony will introduce the PlayStation App, allowing PS4 owners to turn smartphones and tablets into a second screen to enhance gameplay.[38] The company also plans to debut Gaikai, a cloud-based gaming service that hosts downloadable content and games.[39] By incorporating a share button on the new controller and making it possible to view in-game content being streamed live from friends, Sony plans to place more focus on social gameplay as well Playstation Portable Release 2005 Released in March 2005,[51] the PlayStation Portable (PSP) was Sony's first handheld console to compete with Nintendo's DS console. The console is the first to utilize a new proprietary optical storage medium known as Universal Media Disc (UMD), which can store both games and movies.[52][53] It contains 32 MB of internal flash memory storage, expandable via Memory Stick PRO Duo cards Released in September 2007, the PSP Slim & Lite (also known as the PSP-2000) was the first major hardware revision of the PlayStation Portable. The Slim & Lite was 33% lighter and 19% slimmer than the original PlayStation Portable.[55][56] The capacity of the battery was also reduced by ⅓ but the run time remained the same as the previous model due to lower power consumption. Older model batteries will still work and they extend the amount of playing time.[57] The PSP Slim & Lite has a new gloss finish. Its serial port was also modified in order to accommodate a new video-out feature (while rendering older PSP remote controls incompatible). On a PSP-2000, PSP games will only output to external monitors or TVs in progressive scan mode, so that televisions incapable of supporting progressive scan will not display PSP games; non-game video will output in either progressive or interlaced mode. USB charging was also made possible.[58] Buttons are also reportedly more responsive on the Slim and Lite.[59] In 2008, Sony released a second hardware revision called the PSP-3000 which included several features that were not present in the Slim & Lite, such as a built-in microphone and upgraded screen, as well as the ability to output PSP games in interlaced mode. Playstation Go Release 2009 Released in October 2009, the PSP Go is the biggest redesign of the PlayStation Portable to date. Unlike previous PSP models, the PSP Go does not feature a UMD drive but instead has 16 GB of internal flash memory to store games, videos and other media.[60] This can be extended by up to 32GB with the use of a Memory Stick Micro (M2) flash card. Also unlike previous PSP models, the PSP Go's rechargeable battery is not removable or replaceable by the user. The unit is 43% lighter and 56% smaller than the original PSP-1000,[61] and 16% lighter and 35% smaller than the PSP-3000.[62] It has a 3.8" 480 × 272 LCD[63] (compared to the larger 4.3" 480 × 272 pixel LCD on previous PSP models).[64] The screen slides up to reveal the main controls. The overall shape and sliding mechanism are similar to that of Sony's mylo COM-2 internet device.[65] The PSP Go is being produced and sold concurrently with its predecessor the PSP-3000 although it will not replace it.[61] All games on the PSP Go must be purchased and downloaded from the PlayStation Store as the handheld is not compatible with the original PSP's physical media, the Universal Media Disc. The handheld also features connectivity with the PlayStation 3's controllers the Sixaxis and DualShock 3 via Bluetooth connection Playstation Vita release 2011 Released in December 2011, the PlayStation Vita[68] was previously codenamed Next Generation Portable (NGP). It features a 5 inch OLED touchscreen, two analog sticks, a rear touchpad, Sixaxis motion sensing and a 4 core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor. The PlayStation Vita was officially unveiled by Sony on January 27, 2011 at the PlayStation Meeting 2011 PlayStation Network, often abbreviated as PSN, is an online multiplayer gaming and digital media delivery service provided/run by Sony Computer Entertainment for use with the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation Vita video game consoles http://us.playstation.com/psn/ Controllers Duelshock 1997 Duelshock 2 2000 Sixaxis/Duelshock 3 2007 E3 Sixaxis PS3 Controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save the image to your computer and then go to Tinypic. It's a dot com website (tinypic.com) and you basically just upload a photo there and it allows you to change the type of format the picture is saved in, allowing you to use the image extension in this forum.
