I recommend you bump up...but the 40gb is good too.
PSN is very reliable...we're currently getting it completely rehashed right now, but it's coming back up very soon.
You don't REALLY need an HDTV...but you really WANT an HDTV.
The collection of game is not as good as 360 at this moment we have...but once GTAIV, MGS4, GT5 comes out, PS3 is pretty much at par with 360.

Yeah, for me It was. You don't really need a HDTV, but if you are playing it SD then try not to play it on a big SDTV otherwise it might not look so good. Although it still looks good, if you get me...

PSN is going through major changes as we speak, should be online again soon. The new version seems to be really nice. So yeah.

The games, yep. All the massive titles (GTA4 etc..) are on both consoles. Games like MGS/Gran Turismo/Ratchet and Clank are on the PS3.

It's also blu-ray player, so you can watch HD Films on it

In the event of having a fanboy war, it's also more reliable than the 360

There are some good deals currently with the 40GB. There is a Gran Turismo one, an MGS one will be coming soon aswell as a GTA4 one.

I've been cotemplating about getting a 40 gig version as well. I was hoping to find one of the last 60 gig versions here in Europe but they are all gone from stores. The only ones available are shady deals and Ebay stuff (which I don't trust). Thanks a fucking a lot Sony, for ditching the Emotion Engine and software emulation all together in the only version available in this piece of shit country.

I was hoping I could play my PS2 games again because my old one broke down on me a year ago. So if I'll ever want to play those again I'll have to shell out for a ps3 and ps2...

The ability to play PS2 games was a bit pointless, you cant play PS1 games on it.. therefore just keep ur PS2 for PS1 and PS2 games. Just think of the greats on the original PS that you would miss if u got rid of ur PS2 eg FF games.

Please someone tell me what games there are on the 360 that the PS3 doesn't have that means that the PS3 has "no games whatsoever"

HALO - Old
Mass Effect - Slightly Old
Bioshock - Old

???

Also, those games are all practically the same thing. Fantasy shooting games.

The games argument doesn't exist anymore, it did exist during 2006, and the majority of 2007 but now that we're almost halfway through 2008 it doesn't.

To Sony's credit, they have supported the fuck out of the console. I mean, a really solid job. They have improved the functionality tenfold from what it was when I got it a month after release.

Good game selection, reliable network that is getting an overhaul this week (it should anyway), hdtv not mandatory, but certainly recommended.

Heard the game was shit. BF:Bad Company will rape it, it's also on both consoles. Try again. Also, one title will not do it. People are claiming that the 360 has a huge games library that's so much better and that the PS3 has no games. I want people to prove it.

If anything, in 2008. PS3 has the better exclusives.

MGS4
Killzone 2
Motorstorm 2
Resistance 2
GT5 (although that's mainly 2009)
Driver 5
Final Fantasy
Haze
Wipeout


What massive games are there in the pipeline for the 360? Halo wars. What else?

Yup worth it. I would get it, if I had the choice before I bought the 60GB

Card Readers = Useless, you can add external once, you can use your iPOD, USB stick ect...

20GB extra = Meh, you can get 250GB nowadays...

4 USB = IMHO 2 are enough, unless you want to play games like Rock Band - but you can still add a USB hub, with like 20 USB ports


The only problem is the BC, persoanlly, I didn't use, I only played God of War 2(rented it), and I already have a PS2...

I honestly don't know what games there are out on the PS3 right now that I'd want.

I already have CoD4 and Oblivion and Assassin's Creed and all that on pc. What are the ps3 exclusives that are out RIGHT NOW?

EDIT: I'm not defending the x360: it's a piece of shit but right now it has tons of awesome games while the ps3 has zilch.

Uncharted - Good Game(rented), best looking console game imho, but Zero reply value.
Resistance - Boring story line, average graphics, amazing online
Motorstorm - Unfinished game, but good online.
Heavenly Sword - God of War rip off, with nice graphics
Liar -  Scored below the average score
F1 - ....
Warhawk - Online only, could be fun, but you need to get used to it.


Oh, I forgot

Ratchet and Clank - Rented it as well, it was awsome, but again, zero reply value.
GTP - I have the demo, fun game, I was about to get it. But I will wait for GT5

None of those games interest me in the slightest. Racing games mean nothing to me. I'd rather just step outside and drive an actual car. But that is beside the point. Racing games are out. Platformers are out. Multiplayer-only games are out.

I want single-player games with a story. Shooters are good, RPG's are good, games like God of War and MGS are good. So that basically leaves Resistance for the ps3, amirite?

Also, for the 360, you've got Bioshock, Saints Row, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Gears of War, GRAW, Rainbow Six vegas, Perfect Dark Zero, etc etc.


I'm rooting for the PS3, I really am, I'm a Sony fanboi, but honestly, right now, the games for the PS3 are just shit. I might buy one when MGS4 comes out.

Disagreed. I've played that game probably over 40 hours so far. It has replay value in all the little hidden goodies scattered about, lots of skill points to accumulate, Challenge mode, etc. There is quite a bit to the game, just doesn't seem that way at first glance.

F1 was ok, actually bought it used over the weekend, but I'm returning it later today. I love racers, but this is too technical and got drab already.
