Sony launches official PlayStation 3 website

Sony has launched the European PlayStation 3 website, complete with the "This Is Living" slogan and plenty of hardware and software info.

If you want to spend some time looking at a fancy looking website that isn't particularly easy to navigate then the new European PlayStation 3 website is just the ticket. Visitors are presented with a PlayStation 3 room that is full of cameras, each representing information on a specific game or hardware item. By clicking on a camera you get to view more info on the item the camera is looking at - you'll figure out what to do when you see it.

There are screens of a selection of PlayStation 3 titles, plus a few videos that you might want to take a look at. There's not really anything new to see on the website, but it does confirm that the PlayStation 3 will be compatible with third-party 2.5" S-ATA hard drives.

The site also features a section called "The PS3 Stories" in which visitors can view a number of videos covering a range of topics. For now all that's available is a video titled "Real Time", but more are coming soon.

The PlayStation 3 is scheduled to go on sale across Europe on November 17.
