So i just bought a PS3, someone help me with this thing...

darkphantom · 01-03-2009, 06:06 PM

wow, congrats on the ps3 man...but I hate to tell you "I told you so" when it comes to the burning part....i.e. "game backups"

360ftw....haha...

I'm pretty sure they still don't have a mod chip out for the ps3 yet

which is why i went the 360 route...the controllers are fine for me...nice and small...I don't mind, plus I can use them for my PC games too!

Alchem · 01-03-2009, 07:36 PM

You should pay for those games. Programming video games is such a pain in the ass.

I'm pretty sure the people who make them have families to feed too!

have u ever downloaded a song in your life? If you have, you can't give me this lesson

ejazbmw · 01-03-2009, 09:50 PM

eh if i were you spool i'd return it and get a xbox 360 its only 200bucks now and the xbox live is soooo worth it. You'll get use to the controllers as i did, I think your starting to realize ps3 is going to be expensive haha

radiantm3 · 01-03-2009, 10:50 PM

I always find it funny how BMW owners can spend so much more than other cars in its class, but don't want to pay for music, video games, or a few hundred more on a mac.

The 360 is a better gaming system if you plan to play with friends a lot. Xbox live is a much better social gaming platform. Most games come out on both systems these days and each have their own exclusives. The PS3 makes a much better media center device as it also plays Blu-ray. So even if you don't game very much, it's still very useful. The hardware is built a lot better as well. Microsoft consoles have always been horribly made. Everyone I know is on their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th 360. I'm on my second, but my CD-rom drive doesn't open half the time and I get disc read errors on brand new games.

BaLLzZz · 01-04-2009, 01:37 AM

Yea that's what I play too nothing else or I will play blackjack if I can lock the table up. But that's rare. Usually in the poker room for shifts on end. Have been going to foxwoods lately because its somewhat closer.

Wake27 · 01-04-2009, 02:15 AM

Yeah Blu-ray is baller. Especially on the tv you have, you're gonna love it. Plus the Ps3 commmunity is quickly getting better and soon, it'll be a better gaming platform than the 360. Developers just have to get used to all the new potential on Blu-ray discs and whatnot.

Spool · 01-04-2009, 11:12 AM

Well can't turn back now on the PS3, i just bought a bunch of accessories from Newegg...i'll keep it as an entertainment center, has good interface and is easy to use...compatible with a lot of things i already have

so the HD is not intergrated to the PS3?
you mean i can buy a HD for a PC and jsut swap it? what size HD does it use?

N54YO · 01-07-2009, 05:34 PM

The PS3 is the best system out there for me. I've used all of them and only kept the PS3. However not for the gaming purpose. The system do offer some great games but more importantly the capability of this system is insane. My entire entertainment system is tied into the PS3. I stream photos, movies, shows, music from online and also from my network HD. Hell with the latest update (which support full flash for websites), surfing the net from the couch is awesome. And who can turn down that crazy blu-ray quality.
