Editing PlayStation 3 (section)

==Trivia==
*There are no PS3-exclusive ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog series|Sonic]]'' games; every ''Sonic'' game on the PS3 is also on the Xbox 360.
*Recently, PlayStation as started making a series of live-action commercials in promotion to their new fighting game ''[[Wikipedia:PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale|PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale]]'' (a similar title to the ''Sega All-Stars'' and the ''Super Smash Brothers'' series.) starting with the very popular commercial "Michael" which was the bases for the previously said game.
*The PlayStation 3 is Sony's first region free home console.
**[[Downloadable content]], however, is region locked (with exceptions, but none pertaining to ''Sonic'').<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/legacy/notes/614538998635895/|date=6 April 2014|title=DLC cross-regional compatibility checklist (Originally List of Games with Region 1 and 3 DLC Compatibility by Joxhn)|publisher=Delgado, Lewin|work=Facebook|accessdate=26 October 2022}}</ref> For instance, if a user were to purchase all of the DLC for [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (2006)]] from the European PlayStation Store and attempt to use it with a North American copy of the game, it will be incompatible as regional variants of the same game(s) have different game IDs, and any DLC is programmed to only work if the game IDs from the DLC and the base game match.
**Save files are also often not cross-compatible for this reason.
*The PlayStation 3 models with the Emotion Engine included (CECHAxx & CECHBxx) were only released in Japan and North America. By the time the system launched in Europe and Australia, [[Sony Interactive Entertainment|Sony]] had already moved to the CECHCxx models, which removed the Emotion Engine in favor of software emulation. In other words, no PAL models of the PlayStation 3 have full backwards compatibility with [[PlayStation 2]] games.
**All PS3 models with any form of PS2 backwards compatibility still retain the Graphics Synthesizer, which means that PS2 games are rendered about the same as they would on original hardware (barring any visual glitches) without any internal resolution scaling or performance improvements to games.
*''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (2006), ''[[Sega Superstars Tennis]]'', ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'', and ''[[Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection]]'' are the only ''Sonic'' titles on PlayStation 3 to use the original [[wikipedia:Spider-Man_in_film#Sam_Raimi_films|Spider-Man-style logo]] on its packaging and discs. Starting with ''[[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]]'', they began adopting the new PS3 logo.
**''Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection'' and ''Sonic Unleashed'' (in Europe) were eventually re-released using the new PS3 logo via the [[wikipedia:Greatest Hits (PlayStation)|Greatest Hits]] and [[wikipedia:Essentials (PlayStation)|Essentials]] budget labels.
*The console itself, alongside the [[Xbox 360]], [[Nintendo DS]], [[Wii]] and [[Wii U]], are the only consoles in which all three voice casts are included; the original ones who debuted in the [[Dreamcast]], the ones from [[4Kids Entertainment]], and the current ones who voice the characters in the recording studio, [[Studiopolis]].
