Sony PlayStation 3
Developer: Sony
Year Released: 2006
Generation: 7th
The PlayStation 3 was the first console to feature a Blu-ray player, once again helping one of Sony’s disc formats to become more common in people’s home entertainment libraries. The PS3 user were able to watch HD movies in true 1080p quality without having to rely on a separate Blu-ray player. At the time, these players were incredibly expensive and having one bundled into a games console was a huge plus, and though a risky move by Sony, it paid off in the end.
