An application for British PlayStation 3 owners was made available on 9 April 2013.

(PlayStation 3 owners are not able to enjoy this feature due to the lack of such a feature in the gamepad.)

For PlayStation 2 owners, there is now an easier way: the Netplay Controller from Logitech.

While Sony is promising microtransactions via Home, the basic service will be free to every PlayStation 3 owner.

After this time, PlayStation 3 owners can pay Sony a set fee for a refurbished console.

This is the one title that no action-loving PlayStation 3 owner should go without.

"We'd be crazy to abandon them," said Mr. Tretton, speaking of PlayStation 2 owners.

This feature is also available for PlayStation 3 owners, however, there are presently no plans for Wii owners to do the same.

Another factor, he said, may be a reluctance to shift brands among current PlayStation owners.

With Folding@home, PlayStation 3 owners will be able to donate their consoles' processing power to scientific research.
