Ok, so I want to get a PS3... only problem is I don't know where the f*** to start. Should I get 250 GB or is that overkill and I should just get the 120 GB?

What accessories should I pick up?

And what PS3 exclusives (besides Metal Gear and Drake's Futurne) do you suggest?

Any other tips on buying a PS3 you could throw my way would be much appriciated.

[Godak]

Demon's Souls, Valkyria Chronicles, LittleBigPlanet, Heavy Rain, MAG, God of War III, and any of the Ratchet and Clanks.



Get some extra controllers, and try to find an old backwards compatible PS3. You can upgrade the hard drive for cheap, so you'll probably save money in the long haul.

[zaim298]

get a headset, ps3 keyboard and everything else Godak mentioned.

[That Confused 1]

Unless there's a certain title you really want that's bundled with a 250 Gig model, go with the 120 Gig unit. Both are easily upgradeable in terms of Hard drive space, and you'll be saving money by going with the 120 Gig Unit and using the spare money to aquire either games you desire or a new 500 gig SATA HDD upgrade for the unit.



Games I recommend is Resistance 1 and 2, Killzone 2, Demon's Souls (as Godak suggested), inFamous, and the Uncharted titles. Warhawk is a pure hit or miss if you like it and there's a demo of the game on PSN. As Zaim298 pointed out, get a headset but you will not need a ps3 keyboard as any USB keyboard for PC works fine with the PS3. Wireless Keyboards are a hit or miss, while a Logitech wireless k/m combo might work for the interface in XMB menu usage it might not work at all in Unreal Tournament 3 for PS3.



There's also PixelJunk Monsters and Shooter, which is great past times. And then there's P.A.I.N. which is fun for social gaming.

Use the 50$ or so you'll save from buying the 250gb on upgrading the the 120gb hard drive -- just don't get a solid state drive unless you like wasting money

Flower and Super STardust HD

Get Demon's Souls!!! It's a fantastic game.



You can plug any usb keyboard onto the ps3 but the little cutsie ones that fit on top of your remote can be really convenient if you don't mind the price. The headset is only necessary if you are into multiplayer, you will never use it otherwise.



Do get an extra controller so you can couch co-op games like Little Big Planet. It is ridiculously fun!



You will also want to pick up Little Big Planet, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm (if you are into anime) and God of War Collection. More recent must-have titles are Uncharted 2 and Assassin's Creed 2.

Plug it to a good 5.1 sound system and rock hard.

[Weiser_Cain]

Get a huge TV, I played on one and it convinced me to get a ps3 and I never play it now because it sucks on standard definition.

[Endurium]

Backwards compatibility is only important if you actually want to play older games and don't have access to a PS2 or older PS3. Frankly I bought my PS3 to play PS3 stuff. I don't have any older console games because I've been PC gaming for 20 odd years.



My games collection so far, based on suggestions from friends: Uncharted 1&2, Burnout Paradise, GRID, Folklore, X-Blades, Star Ocean 4, FFXIII (pre-ordered), LittleBigPlanet, and Dante's Inferno (Divine Edition). They're trying to talk me into Demon's Souls, but it's got a combat system that apparently takes some getting used to. I'm still trying to get used to the dinky controller (big hands). Since I play alone, I got a USB keyboard as well so I can more easily chat with my friends (sometimes the PS3 is a chat device while I game on PC.)

^ Demon's Souls is the best game out there. Absolutely addictive. If you remember those days when beating the boss was a real achievement, you will love it.

[ClosingRacer]

Eh demon souls... i still don't understand how making the game Harder after dying helps you in any way....but eh what ever.... I would say get Get Heavy rain and God of war 3

[Fexelea]

The point is to teach you that dying is serious business. After you get screwed over a couple of times, you realize: you actually have to think and be cautious or you will pay for your lack of tactics. It is fun because it is challenging.

And the game getting harder when you die... not so. Your world tendency resets if you connect to the servers or quit

[Wishpig]

Wow! Thanks for all the help! Cyber hugs for all of you.

[Wishpig]

KK got the PS3, little big planet and uncharted 2... so pissed I can't still get the santa outfit for little big planet though

At least the Thor outfit looks just like Oghren

Think i'll rent demon souls before I buy it, strikes me as a love it or hate it kinda game, although it appears to be right up my challenge (as an old school gamer I miss challenge!)

Oh gosh I wish I saw this earlier

First your Bluetooth will work with your PS3 so that will save you a lot of money. But even if you get a game that comes with the Bluetooth PS3 headset that bluetooth will work with your phone. I'd go with the 250 GIGs. Also you can use your own keyboard if you want for the PS3 or buy the one that connects to your PS3's controllor.

Also unlike the Wii and 360 the PS3 will come with a charge and play USB so you're covered there.

I've only seen one bad review for Demon's Souls, and that was from Famitsu. I've heard people talk crap about it when they first get it, but after a while they usually admit that they were wrong, and that you just need to be patient and take the time to understand the game mechanics.

[Pious_Augustus]

Oh yeah if you get a PSP or have phone I have good news for you. As long as your PSP has a wireless connection you can play your PS3 on your PSP anywhere in the world. So imagine infamous or play Dragon Age on your PSP!



For some reason it wouldn't let me edit this into my previous post?

When getting a PS3, you need money.

The Playstation 3 is honestly the cheapest system on the market. Even when the PS3 was as expensive as it once was, I can let you know what it comes with and what you can also use on it you end up paying more for the other systems.

Kind of like the Wii, when I got it I thought yeah it was cheap but then I had to go buy the acessories or it wouldn't work or I'd keep having to buy batteries. The 360 you need the charge and play kit which is known to die out after a year. The PS3 comes with an USB Charge and Play Kit before I bought the PS3 I was assuming you had to buy a kit as well seeing Best Buy advertised it but yeah, you don't.

Also the Internet on PSN is free, you don't have to pay to play other people like Live. Netflix is now on the PS3 and as an owner of all three systems I can tell you, you get more bang for your buck.

Also another nice thing, is you don't have to order or get a Data Transfer Kit for the PS3 if you buy a new PS3. For example the 360 all content is locked to the console. all you need is an Ethernet cord and all your content is transfered into the new console and HDD.

The 360 your content is sync'd to your 360 so you have to get on the phone and call India and hope they understand you to get your content back on your new 360 otherwise your forced to log onto live to play your saved games or DLC which has the content installed on it.

To make matters even better, there is no PS Dollars like Xbox has their points when it comes to buying things. Everything is in dollars and cents, enjoy!

This was true a year or so ago, nowadays it's the best deal on the market hands down.  I'm saying that and I don't even own one.

Demon's Souls is not a rental... The first hours can be really hard. But afterwards if you are old school and want the real challenge and death to mean something more than just reloading your last save, you will love it.

On PS3 pricing:

Nice thing about the PS3 is again I keep saying this because the PS3 is like the Atari in a way, you can use your regular Bluetooth as a head set plus the charge and play controller you need for the 360 is free with the PS3.

Also Microsoft is starting to stop including the HDMI in their elite packages.http://gizmodo.com/5...ding-hdmi-cable

So the 360 Elite is now USD 590, if we add the extra 40 bucks for HDMI.

The ps3 is a better deal indeed.
