playstation







The console "playstation" is created by a company called sony, and altogether they have created 3 playstation consoles.
As each of the consoles were created they improved in the way that they play games and they their extra abilities that they have for extra things.
when the first playstation was created in 1994 altogher it sold a stagering amount of 102 million consoles. it was a simple style console with a wired control, 128KB memory card, simple style power button, and eject button.
The second playstation was called playstation 2 or for short PS2. this was first released in 2000, and over time 140 million units have been sold. This upgrade from the playstation 1 become much more popular and were better because it was able to play better quality games, more advanced games, and for some games there was an online system that could be used. the memory card that was needed for it to save the games was 8 MB. This was because as time pasted by, games that were created started be become so advanced that they took up much more memory than the games did for the PS1. after a while a new type of PS2 became available and that was the slim line. this was the same as the original PS2 but it was just a lot thinner.
then finally a PS3 was created and released in 2006 and since then about 21.3 million units have been sold world wide. this console has become so advanced compared to the over playstations. this is not just a gaming console, it is able to now surf the web, and has a new type of advanced media based format for reading discs called blue-ray. the memory storage is built inside it so there is no need for memory cards but there are some which are avalible for, and there have been many different varities of this console because of the hard drive size. there is a 2oGB, 40GB, 60GB, 80 GB, and 160 GB. each one havig there own varity of what it can do, such as some of them can play ps2 games and some can not. this consoels has gone up to 7th generation of gaming. the gaphics that it also produces is very good compared to the other consoles, because now it seems very relalistic.

BasketBall



this is a basketball puzzle that is for fun and so that you do not get bored while reading :)

when i go out with my friends, i usually play basketball with them. i have been playing basketball now for 2 years, and i have not been in any sort of team, not even in the school team.
i do not have a favourite team that i support because i do not watch basket ball on TV i only play it.



i will explain what basket ball is to you if you do not understand it:

Basket ball is a game that is played by 5 people that has a main purpose and that is to beat their opposing team by geting the ball in the hoop which is 10 feet off the ground. the main place that this sport is played is in america but is played all around the world.
when scoring points there ar a number of ways that it can be done an each way can score a different amounts of points. when shooting out side the D shape line the points will be worth 3 points each. if any shots are taken in side the D shaped line then they are worth 2 points.

xbox 360

As i said in the last post i used to have a Xbox 360 games console. i got this on christmas day in 2006. i was very happy when i found out what i was given. i eventually got xbox live and it was no time till i got some good friends which i played online with. i had many games such as:

  • gears of war

  • oblivion

  • call of duty 3

  • ghost recon 1 and 2

  • Kameo

  • Perfect Dark Zero

  • PGR3

  • cant remember what else

I had my console for dead on a year and on christmas day it broke. a year to the day, how mesed up is that.

i lost all my friends that i made but i still keep in touch of one of them.

i used to get my games from game or gamestation, because a lot of them were starting to become cheap such as 2 for £20. I borrowed quite a few other games from my friends that i have at school.

now the xbox 360 is very cheap compared to what it used to be so when i have some money i might re buy one because i had so much fun on it before it broke.
