 Portable Sound Format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Portable Sound Format (PSF) file is a sound data file (akin to NSF from the Nintendo Entertainment System, and other console related sound formats) ripped directly from video games from a variety of game consoles.
The PSF format was created by Neill Corlett in 2003, who also wrote the Winamp plugin Highly Experimental that plays PSF1 and PSF2 files.
PSF initially stood only for "PlayStation Sound Format", but with the addition of the PSF2, SSF (Sega Saturn Sound Format), DSF (Dreamcast Sound Format), USF (Nintendo Ultra 64 Sound Format), QSF (Capcom Q-Sound Format), and GSF (Game Boy Advance Sound Format) subformats, the more generic backronym "Portable Sound Format" was developed.

 Sound for Playstation2
The VAG format was used in Playstation, but Sony has made some enhancements to the audio setup for PS2.
The sound RAM is allocated between short sounds that are stored in RAM to be triggered as needed and buffers that are used for continuous sound that streams from disc during game play.
Because sound for a PS2 game can involve hundreds or even thousands of dialog, effects and music elements, making the sounds and incorporating them into a game is a big job that requires a lot of teamwork.

The PlayStation was a nice stopgap in between the Super NES and N64 for me, because I got a chance to play what turned out to be two of my all-time favorite games, the Twisted Metal series and the original Need for Speed, quite a bit with my friends.
Besides, the PlayStation was always like the unwanted stepchild in my video game family.

Since Sony is the major driving force behind the development of the Blu-ray Disc format, it's no real surprise that Al found the PS3 to be a stellar movie player.
And, at roughly $400 less than the other players currently on the market, the PS3 is a steal even if you never drop in a game and feel the thrill of teeing up with Tiger, wrestling with Shaq down in the paint, or emptying a clip into a Chimera.
