Also you can install an update for PS3 systems from other discs.

Now let's talk about the graphical interface in PS3 systems. PS3 systems include nine categories of options. They are Photo, Music, Video, Users, Settings, Network, Friends, PlayStation Network and Game. The graphical interface is similar to the Sony PlayStation Portable. PS3 systems have an ability to store a huge amount of photos. Also you can make a review of them with a musical accompaniment like a slide-show. PS3 systems supports copying audio CD tracks. And PS3 systems have the ability to play movies directly from hard disc drive (not only from a compact disc). Of course it would be very complicated to copy a film in Blu-ray format on hard disc drive, so this is a useless option for these kinds of movies. A special built in web-browser in PS3 systems supports downloading audio, video and photo files and copies them directly in an appropriate file directory. PS3 systems have an ability to make a video chat with your friends. But this option is possible only when you have additional accessories - in this case it's a PlayStation Eye or EyeToy.
