About
As of 2026, it's 20 years old.
The PS3 arrived with a famously eye-watering $599 price tag and a slogan-worthy attitude, asking gamers to fund the future before the future had quite arrived.
Its secret weapon was the Blu-ray drive: by stuffing one into every console, Sony quietly won the format war against HD DVD and snuck high-def movies into living rooms everywhere.
Pricey, proud, and secretly a Trojan horse for Blu-ray — the comeback console that played the long game.
