fun-things-besides-gaming-with-sony-playstation-3Let’s face it: the idea of playing games and multiplying scoring on Sony PlayStation 3 seems to fall flat now! Even if those women-friendly titles like SingStar games and Dancing Stage cannot get you hooked to the console anymore … then, quit playing games on PS3, for a while now. But, do not yet think of quitting your good old Sony PlayStation 3 console yet because the device can yield you a lot more entertainment besides playing games on it. This Internet enabled gaming console is capable of providing you with a host of other uses and make it a complete home entertainment device for you. I have compiled 5 fun things you can do with your Sony PlayStation 3 below that may interest you.

1.  Blu-ray Movies

One of the main features (or I would say a mouthwatering feature) that comes bundled with Sony PlayStation 3 is its capacity to play Blu-ray files. What’s even more delicious about Blu-ray feature of PS3 console is that it also supports 3D content. So, forget playing games and start playing Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D titles on PS3. Besides Blu-ray media, you can slide in your DVDs from your collection.

2.  Stream Netflix and video content

Apart from watching movies and videos offline, you can stream videos using online services. The Sony PS3 supports a slew of streaming video services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Vudu, etc. that offer watching movies and your favorite soaps and sitcoms for rent and for purchase. Especially, NETFLIX Just For Kids app on Sony PlayStation 3 making it easier for parents to filter inappropriate content and play kid-friendly videos from the PS3 console.

Not only movies and sitcoms, you can transform your Sony PlayStation 3 gaming console into a photo slideshow viewer. You can view and show photos using PlayMemories app on Sony PlayStation 3 console. The device can render in 3D presentation of your photos making them vivid and more eye-popping than ever.

4.  Get social

You have used the Internet connectivity and the web browser to download games and play online, now it is time to get social using this browser. You can access the gamut of social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc. Plus, Sony PlayStation 3 also bundles some built-in Facebook centric features like sharing your in-game scores and rewards with your Facebook friends through posting updates directly.

5.  IMing with your friends… Voice or Video

Do you remember, how you chatted challenges and scores with your friends while playing games on Sony PlayStation 3?  Now, pair a Bluetooth keyboard with your Sony PlayStation 3 console or use clip-on keypad plus a USB enabled headset (or Bluetooth headset to avoid clutter of wires) of Sony. Now access the IM and initiate conversation with your friends, whether voice chat or have a video chat using PlayStation Eye camera.

Along with these, you can also play CDs and DVDs to play music or listen to online music with Sony PlayStation console when you are bored of playing games. However, if you are doing some more fun things with your PS3 console, then drop your comments below.
