An introduction to Network on PLAYSTATION®3
 
PlayStation 3 is all about connectivity, interaction and the content and services offered by PlayStation®Network. Step into Network and get connected.

Once your PlayStation 3 is configured to your liking it will be ready for you to get online and join PlayStation®Network.

The Network category on the Home Menu is where you'll find some of the PlayStation 3 system's most innovative features. As well as a link to the online Instruction Manuals, Network connects your PS3 to your PSP, and takes you online to the wide world of the Internet and all the exciting content in the PlayStation® Store.

The [Internet Browser] lets you head out on to the Internet. Surf all your favourite websites, create [Bookmarks] for your top destinations and open multiple sites in up to six windows for quick browsing.

Once you've signed up to the PlayStation®Network in the Friends category of the Home Menu, you can access the PlayStation®Store. Here you'll find free game demos, High Definition movie trailers, plus loads of bonus content for a range of games. You can also purchase and download full and exclusive PlayStation 3 games.

Network is where you'll find Remote Play so you can experience the power of PlayStation 3, including all your saved photos, music and movies, in the palm of your hand on PSP.
