With the Christmas selling season now in full swing, Sony has launched a diagram to explain to potential buyers what its PlayStation 3 console includes and what it would cost if the components were bought separately.
According to the Sony diagram, buying an equivalent MP3 player would cost £190, the CD player would be £90, the DVD player would be £49.99 and the Blu-ray player would be £299.99. This means the real cost of the £299 console's components, according to Sony, is a staggering £614.98.
A spokesman said: "For the run-up to xmas we noticed many people are unaware of what a PlayStation 3 can do. The PS3 is more than just a gaming console - PS3 actually provides an all-in-one home entertainment system.
"So... with this in mind we have just created the diagram "What A PlayStation 3 Can Do". The diagram helps to visually illustrate the PS3's capabilities."
