    Re: Playstation 3

    The only reason I recommend a PS3 over an X-box is if you want a Blu-ray player.
    They no longer make backwards compatible PS3's. That means no PS2 games on your system.
    When you first get it, it will take a minimum of an hour to install all of the firmware and updates for it.
    I believe the only model they are currently making is the 80 gig version.

    Um, games... Metal Gear Solid. Check out Call of Duty of course. IDK. The PS3 game selection isn't exactly diverse.
    Just hit up lots of first person shooter ones. Lots of action.
    They just got Bioshock for the PS3. Definitely pick that one up.

    My friend has Bioshock for the xbox and my OH just bought it at the weekend for PS3. He's never been off it. COD is a given, especially the online play.

    Ya, I mean, you can check ebay for that one, but they no longer make it. I won't give you my talk on it that I do when I'm actually selling it to people. :lol: but I think it's important for people to know because they still assume they are backwards compatible. They used to be. If you can find the Metal Gear Solid Bundle on ebay or something, then ya, that is... buying it from the store, no.

    I bought the backwards compatible one and then after playing PS3 games never put a PS2 game back in. Even God of War didn't live up to the games that are available on PS3 now. So I wouldn't be concerned. I have:

    Burnout Paradise
    COD4
    GTA4
    Ninja Gaiden
    Ratchet and Clank FToD
    Unreal Tournament
    NBA Street
    NHL 08
    and Uncharted Drakes Fortune

    all amazing games

    Plus blue ray, 80gig hard drive, there are constantly updates to improve things, Sony Home is coming out soon..etc.


    Make sure you get your bf to add me when he gets it.

    DO NOT BUY HIM A 360 or WII!!!! They will be obsolete soon.  :P

    He really likes it and has already put a fair few hours on it.
    He bought Tiger Woods 08 too for a tenner, as did his friend so they can play against each other. I heard lots of swearing last night.  :lol:

    Oh! Amy! I forgot to tell you. Since you want the Blu-ray-ness... PS3 does not come with the HDMI cables to use the high def. You need to buy it. I suggest the Monster brand because it is the best and has a lifetime warranty through the company. Second best is Psyclone (I think that's how the spelled it).

    Re: Playstation 3

    We have a PS3 and we really like it. My hubby was mad it didn't play the PS2 games though because we thought it did. Also, we had to buy like a fan for it because it doesn't have an internal one and will overheat if it is playing too long. He has Rock Band, some of the Guitar Heroes games and some other weird games that he likes.

    [/quote] I suggest playing dumb and letting him buy them himself :lol:

    That would be super mean though. Cause then he wouldn't be able to play it for a few days cause stores will be closed :lol:

    And Delta...NHL is good? He really wants that one. I'll have to get your info later! And I already have a Wii!

    How would you say NHL on PS3 compares to it on XBox 360?  I'm debating whether I want a PS3.

    How will the Wii be obsolete?  Is there another system that is coming out that uses the wireless system they use?

    Ps3 is definitely the best for the future as far as next-gen games go. I give the 360 about another year. I have all 3 systems and they basically collect dust. I still play Madden and the call of duty games occasionally, but basically I use the ps3 for the blue ray.
    And affirmative action is a very nice term for racial discrimination against better-qualified white people in jobs, employment, promotions and scholarships, and college admittance.

    [/quote]We are in the current generation.  The PS3 and 360 are no longer next gen.  Analysts predict we'll start seeing the next generation of systems come around in 2010-2011.

    The PS3 has very few exclusives that I care for.  LittleBigPlanet is just about the only one I want to play.  Otherwise developing games has become so costly that we'll hardly see many exclusives in the future.

    I'm not ready to start building a collection of blu ray movies because I kind of wonder if there will be something just a little better around the corner.
