Can you use google on ps3?

May be...
  • i have just set up boyfriends wireless on his new ps3. so he can play his friends online on GTA. Can you, by any go onto google or facebook on it?? or is it just for online gaming?
  • when on the internet browser screen press triangle and there should be enter address from there enter google or facebook and it should work from there you can also add those sites to bookmarks for qucik access in the future or set them to your home page
  • yes you can and you can also listne to music while browsing plus you can play flash games as well and watch youtube :D





    Here are step by step instructions to access this feature:

    1) First, scroll over to the Network section on the main menu.

    2) Then, scroll down until you see the Internet Browser.

    3) Once there, press the START button, and then type in the URL of the website.

    4) Any problems? Just call Customer Service, and they will handle it from there.
  • When your PS3 has an active connection go to the network menu, on the right and click Internet Browser.



    Then a webpage will open up (your homepage and it can be changed).



    You can press triangle and find all the menu's and help.



    Also you can plug in wireless and wired mouses and keyboards to make it seem like a proper net surfing thing.
  • Yes, you are able to access almost any website on the PlayStation3. Here are step by step instructions to access this feature:

    1) First, scroll over to the Network section on the main menu.

    2) Then, scroll down until you see the Internet Browser.

    3) Once there, press the START button, and then type in the URL of the website.

    4) Any problems? Just call Customer Service, and they will handle it from there.

    5) Good Luck :-)
  • When you've started the browser press 'triangle', then 'file', then 'address entry' - or just press 'start' (you need to delete the current one out first)



    you can press 'select' to bring up your bookmarks (i.e. favourites) and add it to it, to save you next time.
  • yesh you can goto the internet browser. press START then type in the address. but i cant seem to go on hotmail for some reason. something to do with cookies
  • Click on the internet browser on the XMB. Press start, and then you should be able to enter the address.
  • ANY internet website. youtube, google. you name it and it can go into it.



    thats why its better than xbox ;)
  • yup :D you can.
  • Yup, just find a router and you can google everything you want!
  • its just online gaming and PlayStation stuff.





    ok i might of been wrong = (
  • Are air coolers for ps3 actually useful?

    May be...
  • i saw a pretty good and cheap aircooler at futureshop the other day, it was only 20$ and i was wondering if they actually do something useful or is it just a waste of money.



    so are they useful?

    thanks for reading
  • No. They actually slow down the PS3's cooling mechanisms and block the vents on either side so it can expel air. They're powered by the PS3 as well so take up even more power and use up more heat.



    PS3's fan is fine as long as you give the console a 10cm gap on all sides away from walls etc and keep it in a well conditioned room.
  • Well, I would recommend one if you play your PS3 a lot. If it's just casual play, then you shouldn't need one, but if you play a lot during the day, it wouldn't hurt to buy one, but it still isn't really necessary.
  • dont waste your money. and it will void your warranty. you better off buying another game. like battlefield bad company
  • Need help finding ?

    May be...
  • Ok, so I need some help finding a PS1.. I don't want to go on Ebay because shipping electronics bother me alot and im not sure if anyone sells them anymore. The reason why im looking for one is because 7 years ago I gave it away to my mom's boyfriend for my gamecube.. Well ever since then I've been wanting to buy one because I feel like i shouldn't have given it away. Plus my PS1 had alot more games.. Anyways, I need help trying to find one...



    Does anyone know of any places that still have them ? And does PS2 play PS1 games ? If so, i'll get PS2 .. I wanted to buy an old Spyro game as well ( the first one ) because I miss my game and my first game console alot..
  • Both the PS2 and PS3 play PS1 games.



    I would just get a new PS2 if you want to play PS1 games. That way you can extend your games library with some PS2 games as well. The only PS1 consoles you'll be able to find are used.



    The PS2 also has some of the best games ever. I highly recommend getting Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and Okami to start you off. Best games for the system in my opinion (read up on them though, because you may not like the genre).
  • ps2 and ps3 can take those games
  • What are some good games for the PS3?

    May be...
  • I have COD4 for the 360, same with GTA IV.

  • Just a rough estimate from my experience at selling old games on eBay:



    Slim PS2 + Controllers + Accesories = $60

    Games = $10-20 dollars apiece, depending on release date.

    Guitar Hero game and controller set = $30-40?



    Total = $250-280 dollars
  • take it 2 gamesstop and find out
  • you might get more if you sell it all indivdually online

    Which console shud i get? ps3 or xbox360.Why?

    May be...
  • yes i must agree, get the xbox360. in long run, it will save u $$$ in terms of games.

    1 of the advantage of having xbox360 is it can be hacked/modded to enable it to run cheap copied games.(u'll save alot $$$ on games) and no, u wont get banned from live.I have a modded 360 & I still can play online.

    According to most reviews, the graphic is nicer compare to ps3....well, it is definitely worth gettting it..

    in my opinion, ps3 is not 100% ready yet.especially ps3 online network comunity.so why wait when u can play live now with xbox 360.u pay money for the console so that u can enjoy the priveleges not sit around n WAIT til it is 100% fully ready. blueray games are not cheap too...
  • Well both are great choices and very effective consoles. If your looking for most efficient/effective Sony Playstations are a much more reliable for both durability and effectiveness compare to the Microsoft Xbox360 1 in every 3 Xbox360 fail or break down within 2-5 months of constant use. The PS3 has fewer games for it but has much better quality picture and better graphics than the 360. Then again the 360 has far more games for it, not to mention the exclusive games that only Microsoft studios produce for their own game consoles, for example Halo and Bioshock (Both excellent games by the way). Then there is price range, a PS3 goes for $400-$600 a console and 360s range from $360-$500. in my personal opinion I think you should get an Xbox 360 Elite, it may be a bit pricier than the PS3 (by about $50 compared to a $400 PS3) Elites are more efficient and effective compared to the original 360. Hope this answers your question!
  • I just tried to compare these two consoles in the web.

    Okay here are the details:



    Sony PlayStation 3

    http://www.testfreaks.com/game-consoles/...

    Score: 9.0 out of 10 based on reviews from 138 sources in 29 countries.



    Microsoft Xbox 360

    http://www.testfreaks.com/game-consoles/...

    Score: 7.5 out of 10 based on reviews from 152 sources in 32 countries.



    So as you can see yourself the best rating has PS3. As for me - I'm disagree with the crowd. PS3's have no good games and people only buy em for the Blu-Ray. Anyway - it's up to you.
  • At the moment Id go a PS3.



    Last year I would have said 360.



    PS3 is on the rise, and for many great reasons.



    Theres tons of exclusives heading its way- such as the amazing Metal Gear Solid, Little Big Planet, Killzone 2 etc..



    It has a built in Blu-Ray drive which is the successor to DVD.



    Due to the bluray drives, more can fit into games.



    The online store has recently been upgraded and is filled with great stuff- demos, game downloads, wallpapers, themes, music videos, movie trailers and more.



    The PS3 will last ages. The PS2 is proof of this- it still outsells the 360 now!



    Majority of games on the 360 are on the ps3- even if 360 claims them to be exlusive (Bioshock).



    Playing online is FREE (not so with the 360)



    It is constantly updated through firmware updates- giving it no end to what it CAN do in the future.



    I bought a PS3 just under a year ago- and never looked back.



    Buying a 360 is pointless- give it 3 years and the new xbox will be out.
  • x-box i would never buy its from the same people who did vista and you know how much people like vista... I have a friend that went through 4 x-box 360's in 6 months and he is a moderate gamer. On the other hand i have a friend that is an extreme gamer and his x-box 360 is actually lasting(but has freezing issues and such)...

    I have a ps3 since i am a square enix fan, i will love FF13, i will love KH3.

    My point of view is this which game do you like better halo 3 or FF13... anyways halo 3 will come to pc eventually with added features...

    I hate the failure rate of the 360's that is why i would never get one... The ps3 i love, play's blu-ray and there games are in blu-ray so technically they can fit more than 5 times as much as an x-box 360 game can, 8.5gb vs 50gb(blu-ray).

    also ps3 can install linux... x-box 360 can't...

  • xbox 360- excellent games it's got more shooting games then the ps3 like, mass effect, gears of war ect, xbox live is the best gameplay online experience only disadvantage is that u have to pay for it, 10gb hard drive, has troulbe breaking



    ps3- blue ray, good games more sport thogh then xbox 360, free online play but it's crap compared to xbox live much more expansive



    overall 360 are better i think
  • well i would get a ps3 because, xbox360's hd dvd is now obsulete, the blu ray is better, yeah their are alot of more games out for xbox 360 but the system came out a year before ps3 did, so i wouldnt give that advantage to 360 that was their whole intent was to beat sony to the punch, and now its not working because their system is old dead technology, ps3 is a computer, video game system, blu ray disc player dvd player, cd player, ps2, ps1 player, home entertainment center, ps3 has free online gameing xbox 360 you have to pay to play, xbox 360 has a failure rate of 70% while ps3 has a failure rate of only 4% ive owned 4 xbox 360's since the day it came out and all of them have had the red ring of death or the disc tray came off track and broke to the point where i couldnt fix it with out returning the system to microsoft. but hey who am i the choice is yours on picking a system the only thing is is that your happy with your selection....good day
  • xbox360 so you can play with me just kidding but it a gud system with lot of updates like new maps and everything and they have better games like saints row fable2 idk about h3 but ya that 2 but which one do you seem to like th most
  • Don't listen to anyone, look at the games and capabilities yourself and decide for your self,

    Dont let other people decide for you,

    You can always get both tho,
  • xbox 360



    better games, more games, better graphics, a true gamers dream console.
  • I have the same problem. IDK in the US but where I live the xbox is cheaper. But I am going with the PS3 because I read in an article that 33% of xbox's consoles come defectuous.
  • Ps3 is the best I have both and I play my ps3 more more due to graphics and sixaxis wireless controller
  • xbox 360...less expensive and compatible with the old games, not to mention great games!
  • 360, it's the one (most) of you're friends will have

    loads of other pluses including, cheaper, more games, better online.
  • PS3!!!

    It does not have a problem or malfunctions every 5 days, like the 360!!!!!!
  • if your looking for a honest answers dont post it under playstaion
  • its ur chice what u need this is a old Ques. u can search for ps3 vs xbox 360 in google and youtube their will b a lot of answers
  • PS3!!

    and i'm gonna get one this june in cnada. lol
  • Would you rather buy Xbox360 or Ps3?

    May be...
  • Well it all depends on whether you want to buy a console and enjoy it now, or buy a console for it to get better in the long run.

    Buy an Xbox if you want a great online time, yes before anyone says it I know it costs money but on ebay you can pay £30 for a 13month subscription. Trust me, it's worth it. Xbox has the best exclusive games, Halo 3, Gears of War and bioshock etc.

    Get a PS3 if you want a machine capable of great things, but games that aren't. The PS3 has very few exclusive games at the moment that are good and no real games that are worth raving about. I have no doubt in my mind that when the game developers pull their fingers out then the PS3 will become superior to the Xbox but by then again by that time Microsoft might be onto bigger and better things.

    If online play is going to be a big thing then I'd definitely buy an Xbox. Before anyone calls me biased yes i have had both a 360 and a 40GB PS3 but the 360 won just because it was superior in nearly every way (except build quality :P)
  • My husband has a PS3 and it is true that you get a lot of cool features with this system. In my opinion it's all for show. I'm a bit of a gamer myself and all the games I like to play just happen to be on the 360, plus I think Xbox has always had better graphics and it's a system for people who really like to play and don't need all the flashy lights and fancy hoo-ha you get with the PS...so I'd have to say XBOX 360 BABY!!!
  • I think the 360 is better only because I know the tech specs and understand them. Take a look at

    http://forum.pcvsconsole.com/viewthread....



    I only ever use my ps3 to watch movies, and I have troubles even doing that because of how quickly the system overheats. Lack of games doesn't help..



    Also, the xbox 360 has a better processor and GPU, but the PS3 has more processors (Since they choose to go with a single threading processor, they had make up for it somehow, hense, extra hardware)



    They only reason the ps3 could ever beat the xbox is because as said, more processors (used to have 8, now 6 I think) And it's GPU (graphics card) is awefully close to xbox's.



    Xbox 360 is a fun and wonderful system, they're trying to get more games (like RPG) and that such out there (Lost Odyssey is fun.)



    Really though, you can't make the choice based off us, you have to research the system yourself and pick it out yourself.
  • I would rather buy a PS3, I think. It also depends on the games you like to play though. Like ps3 is perfect for like rpg. .360 is shooting/sports. I think the 360 has a lot of more fun games than the ps3 right now, however, I'm pretty sure the ps3 will catch up. It also has blu-ray :D Well worth it.
  • PS3. Its an overall better console than the Xbox 360. I am not trying to bash the Xbox 360 because I somewhat like it but for me, the PS3 dominates all. I mean look at the features. It is a pretty cheap Blu-Ray Player considering the fact that most Blu-Ray players are starting around $500. It packs in with a 40 or 80GB for your entertainment pleasures. It also offers free online play instead of paying. Plus, it has a better chance of NOT failing. And comparing between the graphics, PS3 also is head and shoulders above the 360. There is AWESOME games out there for the PS3. For example:

    -- Resistance: Fall of Man

    -- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

    And many more.

    overall 360 are better i think
  • Well instead of asking this yourself you could look at the question DIRECTLY below this one or the 28 billion other questions exactly like this.
  • PS3 has blu-ray. Xbox360 don't have anything. I am getting the new PS3 when they release it in June.
  • PS3 Rocks!!!!!!!!

    And does not break down or have a new problem every 5 days, like the 360.
  • Ps3 is so much more value for money trust me i got both.
  • PS3!!!
  • XBOX360!!!
  • PS3
  • i had both at the same time for over a year. i sold my xbox 360, i haven't missed it.

  • Help hooking up my Playstation 3?

    May be...
  • k i have an LCD TV and im not even sure they are compatable but i have the power cord plugged in and the AV-out cords in. there is only one other cord and i have no idea where it goes. i know this is pretty much impossible to answer over the internet but is an LCD TV compatable with the PS3?
  • Yup it sure is. Actually LCD is going to be your best in terms of gaming. You won't get any burn in (static images) like on a plasma screen TV.



    For the PS3 you'll need that power cord plugged in like you have now.



    The AV cords coming from the PS3 should go to the AV IN jacks on the back of your TV (yellow, white, red)



    You may also have component video cables (blue, green, red) this will offer HD quality video if your TV supports it.



    If it does you would plug those compontent cables into the component IN on your TV (blue, green, red) and find the AV IN jacks that corespond to that component IN channel and plug only the white, and red in there.



    I know this may sound a little confusing. I appologize. Let me know the color of the cables your talking about and we should be able to walk you through it, if this doesn't get you through already.
  • post your problem here:

    www.ps3tipstricks.super-forum.net



    all tv are compatible with ps3 you need 2 things pluged in



    1)power cable

    2)av cable/hdmi cable



    you should then have 2 cables left the ethernet cable and the ps3 controller charging cable



    if you need anymore help feel free to pm me



    hope i helped
  • all you need is your power cord and your av cords. other than that, the only other cords that come with your PS3 are an Ethernet cable, and a usb cable.
  • Any good Playstation 3 exclusives?

    May be...
  • Are there ANY good playstation 3 exclusives out now? I only have Heavenly Sword. I'm always playing my Xbox360 and Wii, but my PS3 collects dust.



    So... are there ANY good PS3 exclusives out now, or set to be released in the NEAR future? I don't like sports games. Those are the only games I won't play.



    If I can't find anything, I might have to find another use for the system, like a paperweight or something.



    God, I used to LOVE my Playstation 2. What happened, Sony? Oh, how the mighty have fallen...

  • I would strongy advise:

    -Uncharted Drakes Fortune and

    -Metal Gear Solid 4. (out 12th of June)



    Metal Gear Solid 4 might become one of the greatest games of all time, and uncharted is another great game you should get.



    And if you like FPSs, I would advise Resistance Fall of man.
  • Metal Gear comes out. God of war 3, resistance fall of man 2, motorstorm 2............there are some sweet games to look forward to.

  • MGS4 should be classic end to the series and Tekken 6 will be ok have a look on gamespot or something
  • Ratchet and CLank Future

    Drake's Fortune

    Resistance Fall of Man
  • ratchet and clank on the ps3 is a good game and plus u can probaly find a good deal on it if u look around.
  • PS3 had to 'take one for the team' in Sony's bid to make Bluray the next video standard. They won, but the PS3 lost its prominence in the process.

    Having said that, the PS3 does have Bluray, so you can use it to watch HD movies even if there are no games to play, that's what I do as a Netflix subscriber, I get bluray movies. And it also (depending on model) plays your PS2 games.

    To tell you the truth, the time of 'exclusives' is gone. Games nowadays are just too expensive to make (specially the High Def. games), so most games will come for both the 360 and the PS3 except for a few flagship games like Xbox's Halo and PS3's God of War and Final Fantasy. I don't see a point in having both a 360 and a PS3, unless you really really really like one of the few exclusive games for the console.

    It does seem like the PS3 is gaining ground on the 360 (remember the 360 came a year before), and as developers finish coding their middlewares, more and more games will pop.

    I think 2009 will be the year of the PS3.
  • How long are you supposed to play your ps2???

    May be...
  • well my ps2 is always braking.. since we got a used one 2 weeks ago i keep getting worried its gonna break.. so i wanna no how long ur supposed to play it.. by the way i have a thin one..
  • It should be able to stay on for weeks!!!!!!!



    If you are that worried about it breaking, play for a few hours, save the game, Turn off the PS2 for a while(about 15 mins)



    Then turn it on and play again,

    but it shouldn't break if you keep it on to long,





    What do you mean by braking anyway?

    If it saying the disk read error, that means you have to clean the laser with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol,
  • dude! u can play ps2 has lon as you want... have it for all your life if you will. i have minds for 5 years now and i'm still playing it
  • You should be able to play your PS2 as long as you want because I know that I sure did.



    If your PS2 keeps breaking then it's probably a problem with the console itself.
  • what the hell kind of question is that?

    Can somebody tell me about playstation home..?

    May be...
  • i want to no what you do all the best things about it i no about creating your own charactor and your own home but what else can you do?



    and will ther be a gameer score ?
  • Where to start...



    Well first off, yes, you can make your own Avatar.



    Now, for all of the other information...





    You are able to create your own apartment which other people/friends can visit, you are able to upgrade your apartment - but it would cost real money, or from selling items (more on that later). When you invite people over, any music that you have playing would be playing for them, too, and you are able to put your photos on the walls of your apartment so other people can see them. Any videos you are watching they can watch too. You can set up games to play, and even trade with people in there.



    Other than apartments, outside, you can go to a Bowling alley and go bowling, Billiards (pool), a movie theater (you have to pay for it, but there would be some freebies).



    Game developers also have their own apartments set up for each of their games, and they said when you visit them, you will get some free 'goodies', as well as info on upcoming games.



    Game developers also have a dev kit for Home so that they can create new parts of the world that you can visit.



    There will be an auction place which you can sell items that you have created, as well as buy new stuff to add to your apartment, or clothing.



    Outside of the main building is a great scenery. There is a water fountain, a lot of fancy concrete, buildings, and a lot more to find out.



    I hope this information was useful!
  • It will probably be almost exactly like xbox dashboard. They will just try to make the interface look different.
  • well, its notout yet, so no one is so sure !
  • what
  • Ps3 mgs4 bundle pre order?

    May be...
  • I heard the bundle was available for pre order but when i go there

    http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Sony-80GB...

    it says its coming soon so im wondering how i pre order it from circuit city or anywhere else?
  • Yes, the Pre-Order option is periodically on and off the website. However, when you click on it, the following page(s) will either say, "All items in cart are unavailable," or "The item is not eligible for sale online."



    I called them and they said that I had to go the store and Pre-Order it from there since they don't allow it online. But the store said that they haven't even gotten anything about Pre-Orders for the bundle...nor Best Buy. I talked to the people at both stores and they said that it is most probably going to be a first-come, first-served deal (just like Gamestop) and that they plan to open on the midnight of June 12.



    I've been refreshing the Circuit City page for the bundle every so often for the past few days just in case I could get a chance to Pre-Order. It's been pissing me off. So, just keep a lookout for the Pre-Order. I wouldn't worry about it too much (even though I am). This highly-anticipated bundle will sell like hotcakes, and as long as Konami, Sony, and Kojima Productions are making money, there will be more in stock in the later months (perhaps even with the expected 120-160GB PS3 models).
  • On the Circuit City website, there used to be a link where you could pre-order the 80GB PS3 MGS4 bundle because I saw it, but it's not there anymore.



    Right now, you should just click on the link "Notify me when avaliable" under "Coming Soon" so that Circuit City will automatically email you when it becomes avaliable again.



    You can also go to Amazon.com, but it's the same situation, you sign up and enter your email address to be automatically notified when it becomes avaliable and that is what you should do.

  • Just keep checking back. Circuit City is turning the pre-order capability on and off periodically and I caught it while it was on last night and was able to place a pre-order. Not sure if it means i'll be guaranteed a bundle on the 12th, but it is certainly worth the shot, right?
  • there not accepting pre orders. i tried to at gamestop. its first come first serve. But you should stil have no problem getting one on the first day. no need to line up at the door.
  • Is there anyway to make the PS 3 40Gb play PS 2 games?

    May be...
  • We got a PS3, the 40Gb, not realizing it didn't have the functions to play the PS2 games. Is there any way of setting it up to play them? Anything new anyone has come up with to get it to play them?
  • Yes, there is a way but it may be hard, you have to find a shop and get them to install the PS2 chip and the softwhrer and it should be 99% compatible,
  • Nope. If possible try to return/exchange it for the 80GB model that comes bundled with Metal Gear Solid 4 in June. The 80GB will be able to play many PS2 games.



    It's entirely possible for Sony to update the 40GB PS3 firmware to add software emulation which enables it to play PS2 games, but there have been no announcements to do so by Sony, so you'll just have to cross your fingers and probably wait a very long time for this to happen.
  • It is just not possible to generically emulate the PS2 GPU (GS) in software, because the GS is actually faster in certain functions than the RSX. This doesn't affect the PS3, as there are quicker alternatives, but unless the emulator knows the intent of the function, it might not know to use the faster RSX function.



    Since all PS2 hardware works the same, a developer of a PS2 title wouldn't account for a slowdown in graphics processing, and it could result in anything from corrupt graphics to a game crash. The emulator would have to be customized for almost every single title.
  • Not at all. Only the 80GB, 60GB, and 20GB PlayStation 3's can play PlayStation 2 games. All consoles can play PlayStation 1 games, though.
  • Sorry but NO. The 40gb does not have the software emulaters to play PS2 games.
  • no you can not. sorry.
  • The 40 Gig is the only PS3 that does not let you play PS2 games. The other models do though
  • No!
  • Yes.............take it back and trade it in for a 20, 60, or 80 gig.

    Other than that youll have to wait for upcoming games.

    If you want general game suggestions the 3 best games out are:

    CoD 4

    GTA IV

    Uncharted



    And upcoming:

    MGS4

    Mercenaries 2

  • Any sites to download full PS3 games??

    May be...
  • Is there any sites apart from the playstation store you can download full games from?



    I've seen a lot of sites like http://www.gamermediadownload.com/?hop=l...



    and



    http://www.ps3directdownloads.com/



    But they all want "one off payments" which makes it seem like a scam and they probably wont work anyway.



    Any help?
  • Whilst it is possible to copy games off a blu-ray, it is not possible to play the copies so they are a scam.



    The blu-ray game disk has an analog "watermark" since a burned disk will not have one a burned disk would require a special boot program (iso-booter). To create an iso-booter a custom firmware is required. The PS3 firmware is encrypted and the key is part of the Cell hardware so no-one has been able to crack it (nor are they likely to).
  • You can't play pirated PS3 games, so there is no point in downloading the files.



    Even if there ever is a way, it would require you to give up on online gaming and firmware updates altogether. Online gaming is a huge portion of the PS3 now, so Sony will be able to ban people that pirate games pretty easily. It's not worth it.



    If you don't want to pay full price for games you can just wait a few months after they come out. You can get older games for less.
  • hm.. PS3 game.. 50GB.. most on a PS3 is 80GB..



    if not.. if you plan on burning it.. BluRay burner 800 bucks.. BD media.. is about 10 a disk... and the time it takes to actually download a 50GB file.. whoa..

    My friend has an Xbox with a chip that allows him to save games to play later i was wondering...?

    May be...
  • My friend has an Xbox with a chip that allows him to save games to play later i was wondering if there was a similar chip for the PS2.
  • There is...but this only works with the original PS2 - not the newer slim line model. This is because you need to connect a hard drive to the PS2, and then install HD Loader onto it.



    You should be able to find HD Loader (or whatever it's called now) quite easily via Google.
  • 80 gb ps3 or 40 gb ps3? and why?

    May be...
  • 40gb cheaper, no backwards comp., no memory card slots



    80 gb expensive, everything
  • Don't get 80gb, 40 gb ps3 is much better, it doesn't over heat as much and you don't need that much memory unless your storing thousands of games and tens of thousands songs which i doubt, 80gb is also more noisier and the backward compatability isn't very good, I f your going to play PS2 games, why not just play it on your PS2, the graphics don't get better. I have a 40gb PS3 and I 've play on my cousins 80gb PS3 and there is hardly a difference. The 40gb comes with everything needed.
  • The main advantages are those you've listed yourself, the fact that the 40GB is cheaper, and the 80GB is more comprehensive.



    It all depends what you want - if you want to stick music and videos and shedloads of savegames on there, and need memory cards, or the ability to play PS2 games, which is what I assume backwards compatibility means, then go with the 80GB model.



    Or, if you're on a tighter budget, and don't necessarily need all that, then go with the 40GB model. It's all relative.
  • While the 80GB is a bit more expensive, it is the best version available in terms of BC and features. I have a huge library of PS2 games so for me the 40GB wasn't even an option as I still play some of my PS2 games so BC was at the top of the list for features I was looking for. If BC and not having all the features of the PS3 is of no concern to you and money is an issue then the 40GB is the way to go.



    I understand most people either can't afford or just aren't willing to part with $500 bucks for a gaming system and that's totally understandable !
  • almost everything. 80gb doesn't have FULL backwards compatibility but mostly it does. but qquite right.

    i got a 40gb and im pretty satisfied. im gonna get a bigger hardrive eventually but for now i've got enough usb ports, and everything else a ps3 really needs. sometimes i wouldn't mind back comp for my sisters but thats just one small prob which i dont care too much about
  • 80GB is just for backward compatabillity and flash readers, but if you want cheap and powerful then the 40GB is for u, the 40GB wins in the long run because it uses low power consumption, its lasts longer than all the other ps3s and its the quietest out of all of them
  • It depends on what you want to do, as if you want to play PS2 games then you would have to buy the 80gb but if you just want to play PS3 games then buy the 40gb.



    You don't really need the memory card slots as you can just use a USB instead.
  • Playstation 3 Box ?

    May be...
  • So My PS3 stopped reading discs, i called sony and all that, they said they will send me box, i just need to know, what happens if there's no one at home and the box arrives, lol ? and how long does it take ? thanks!
  • they put it in your mailbox
  • PS3 not responding?

    May be...
  • When i click the power on button the ps3 does not turn on but there is a red light, on the controller there are 4 red lights flashing, recently i installed some hd tv thing after it which is today it dsn't seem to work?
  • Try turning it on buy the power button. make sure the main power switch is on in the back. then hit the button next to the eject button. maybe your controller isn't in sync with the PS3. if it's your first time using it, hook it up to your PS3 with the usb cable. if that's not the case, just turn it on manually, then turn the controller on, it'll sync up, if you've already used it before.

  • GTA 4

    Quake Wars just came out for the consoles.(not sure on how good it is though)

    Call of Duty 4

    Burnout Paradise
  • Why don't you try Unreal Tournament 3.



    There are six different game types:



    Deathmatch (DM) - Standard free-for-all killing.



    Team Deathmatch (TDM) - Same as Deathmatch, but you have teammates that you have to kill the other team.



    Capture the Flag (CTF) - Same as Team Deathmatch, but you have a flag in play, and you have to grab it and run back to your base with it. [Notable Weapon: Translocator - Shoot anywhere with this, and press alternate fire to teleport there]



    Vehicle Capture the Flag (VCTF) - Almost identical to Capture the Flag, but you will have vehicles to assist in your flag-capturing game.



    Warfare - To some this is complicated, to others it is simple. There are 5 nodes spread across a map and you have to carry your orb to each one and eliminate the enemy's core. Sounds simple, right? Well, not really. Don't forget, you have an enemy! The opposing team is also trying to capture the nodes, and if they do, you have do destroy it, and capture it yourself, and repair it. Once you have successfully destroyed every enemy node (they can repair it, though), head over to their base and start firing at their main Power Core! You might get lucky and destroy it before the enemy repairs another node. [Notable Weapon: Longbow AVRiL - Primary fire sends a rocket, secondary fire displays a beam which can track other enemy vehicles and home onto them. Notable Vehicles: Jet Board - Simply press Square during gameplay to hop onto the board, and away you go! Leviathan - A very powerful vehicle which takes a few people to operate. If used correctly, it can cause massive damage.]



    Duel - This mode features one-on-one action in which two people are randomly chosen at the start of the game, and they attempt to kill eachother. The winner of that round stays in there, gets a point, and fights the next player.



    Some of the weapons in the game include:



    Enforcer: A standard pistol.

    Primary fire - Shoots one shot.

    Alternate fire - Fires 3 shots in succession.



    Bio-rifle: A weapon that fires toxic blobs.

    Primary fire - Shoots small blobs in quick succession.

    Alternate fire - Hold down to charge, and let go to fire a massive blob which can stick to the floor, or an enemy. Once it sticks, it is a one-hit kill.



    Rocket launcher: A standard weapon in any game.

    Primary fire - Shoot one rocket.

    Alternate fire - Hold down to fire 3 rockets.



    Stinger Mini-gun: A future version of the standard Mini-gun.

    Primary fire - Shoot standard bullets at a fast rate.

    Alternate fire - Shoot 'stinger' bullets, although a slower rate and consumes double the ammunition, it is much stronger.



    Link Gun: A hi-tech laser gun.

    Primary fire - Shoot balls of energy at a rate of 8 shots per second.

    Alternate fire - Fires a beam of energy that is constant, and is vital in repairing nodes in Warfare.



    One more thing I like about the game is the character customization. You can create a character from scratch using any of the pieces of equipment/parts for your character.



    There are leaderboards online, so you can keep track on how well you are doing.



    This game is fast-paced, and really stands out against the other shooters.



    The other notable feature in this game is the ability to put your own mods into the game. You can create weapons, vehicles, mutators, levels, etc.

  • even though haze has had some bad ratings, they have been coming up to 8.4's and 7.8's

    haze is pretty good and a reliable game if u have a good tv

    mgs4 is good, but u won't understand if u haven't played the first 3 (comes out in 2 weeks)

    uncharted is good, but it is hard to play because it is in 3rd person point of view (see the whole body)

    toruk was good, but way to easy, good if u want to get used to controls

    rainbow six vegas 2 was ok, but i wouldn't reccomend it over haze and mgs4

    resistance fall of man is probably ur best choice because it is the longest, has great graphics and is not he hardest thing (on hard it is hard, but on easy it is very easy, and on med it is for a good gamer)

    cod4 is pretty good too, but again i say resistance, haze, or mgs4

    Is it possible to save games on the hard drive of your ps3.how do you do if possible.?

    May be...
  • i was told by one of my friends that you can save psp games on your ps3 and play it after.is it possible to save even other type of games?
  • The PS3 doesn't play PSP games. Even if you put the PSP files on the PS3, you can't do anything with them.



    You can only download PSP demos through the PS3 and on to a PSP memory stick, and you can share your PS1 games with both platforms. The PS3 just won't read PSP games. If he is talking about some sort of mod/hack (I don't believe anything like that exists yet) then I would advise against it. It could get you banned from the PSN.
  • Could you clarify your question a bit more? It's a little bit confusing.



    Can you save PSP games? No, not actual games only for the PSP, though you can buy them from the playstation store and transfer them to your PSP. And you could also buy PS1 games that will play both on your PS3 and PSP. But I don't think you can actually save PSP games.

  • Where can I get a rock band usb hub for ps2?

    May be...
  • Please answer this. I got the pack then it broke after a bit. I do not want to buy another big pack like that. Please tell me where to buy one.
  • best buy

    any gaming store
  • you could probaly use any kind of usb hub from a Pc or electronics store. gamestop sells a rockband edition 4-1 adapter, but its like 30.00 and i'd be willing to bet you can find a cheaper one at a best buy or circuit city. hell maybe even a wal-mart.

  • Ps3 playing ps2 games?

    May be...
  • when you are playing ps2 games on a ps3 do you need a ps2 memory card or can you save it on the ps3
  • Yes it can, but first you need to create a PS2 memory card on your PS3 harddrive.



    Go under games in the main icons



    scroll up til you see Memory Card Utility (PS/PS2)



    then select New Internal Memory Card



    then select Internal Memory Card (PS2)



    then you get to label the card whatever you want



    then hit OK.



    Read the message at the end, it will tell you to assign the memory card to a slot, which you can do in-game when playing a PS2 game by just pressing the PS (home) button. Just look for something that says Memory Card Settings or Assign Memory Card in the menu.
  • it saves right on the ps3 hard drive
  • Will you be able to return MGS4 fo $59.99 if you buy to 80gb ps3 on june 12 with it?

    May be...
  • I don't want metal gear solid 4 but i want the 80gb system and dual shock controller. Will i be able to return it to best buy fo $59.99?
  • The game should have a "Not for Retail Sale" sticker or print on the case when you get the game. That way you are not able to return it to stores to make a profit. And I believe the bar code for the game is different than the normal retail version so when they scan it into the system it will proably say "Not for retail sale" and they won't accept it.



    You could try, but chances are your not going to be able to do so.
  • No but if you really dont want it just put it on Craigslist. Im sure somebody buy it that first week if you list it for like 50 bucks brand new and unopened. Either that or you can try and return it to walmart where they give credit if you dont have a receipt, at least you can get another game.
  • I hate YOU for saying that you don't want Metal Gear Solid. It is only the best game series ever FREAKING made. But whatever....





    Sell it to a friend, for like a few bucks less, I guess...Maybe they like GREAT games, I know I do.
  • It's Sony's own bundle.

    Has nothing to do with Best Buy. It's not Best Buy's special bundle or anything, so they won't do it.

    That's like trying to buy a iPod without headphones that came with it.
  • NO
  • Is a 20 inch panasonic regular TV good to use with a PS3?

    May be...
  • my panasonic TV is I think a 2001-2003 model. not too sure but just wanted to find out that if I get a PS3, will it still have good graphics? Also, will it get cut off at the edges and will the text be too hard to read?
  • hey man, it doesn't matter what kind of tv you got. the ps3 will play crisp no matter what. (you may have to adjust your tv settings though, i.e brightness level and saturation) but other than that you're fine. man.
  • I use a 20" TV at times for my PS3 (when I can't use my main TV) and other than the normal differences between HD and and standard, there are no issues. As a previous answerer said, some games are made to run better on HD (with smaller font size etc,) but this really causes no problems other than a little eye strain...
  • The PS3 will rescale the screen to fit your TV.



    I've heard that some games use a smaller font that's better suited for HD, and as a result may be a little harder to read on a non-HD TV, but I haven't tried this.



    The PS3 will look fine on your TV. It will have good graphics, but they won't look as good were you using a HDTV. But hey, that's better than no PS3 at all, right?
  • naw dude the ps3 has good resolution and the 20" screen tv doesnt give you the performance that the ps3 is giving on a wide screen tv or you might wanna try a plasma tv..........
  • wouldn't you want an HD tv? it looks sooo good with a ps3 or xbox360

    What ps3 game do you reccomend?

    May be...
  • I was thinking of:



    Haze



    Metal Gear Solid 4



    Toruk



    Uncharted: Drakes Fortune



    If u have any others please tell me, no GTA4

    i have a ps3 hooked up to an amazing sceptre 1080p hdtv with a hdmi cable
  • haze was decnt. its basically goldeneye 3.0dont believe the reviews it's geting, play teh game first.



    metal gear solid 4, by all reports, will be the BEST game of 2008. drops on the 12th of june.



    turok was way too easy. one button kills on dinosaurs takes something away from the history of the game, and the weapons sucked rear end. no creativity at all.



    uncharted is amazing.



    you would do well to check out these other PS3 exclusives:

    folklore

    heavenly sword

    eye of judgement

    gran turismo 5 prologue

    ratchet and clank future: tools of destruction.

    lair

    resistance: fall of man



    as well as these mulit-platform games:

    assassin's creed

    call of duty 4

    unreal tournament 3

    army of 2

    guitar hero 3

    rock band





    its a good time to be a sony gamer.
  • Of the games you mentioned, I would get Haze and/or Uncharted. They are both great.



    Of those you didn't mention, I would recommend: (though you may have them already) Call of Duty 4. Great multiplayer, story, graphics and all-round gameplay. 2007 game of the year for most magazines.



    Unreal Tournament 3. A little disappointing, the storyline wasn't great, but multiplayer and gameplay are still very fun. If you liked the old Unreal games, you'll like this. I should note, however, that this game is rated the same as GTA4, so if you don't want GTA because you aren't old enough, then you won't be able to get this, either.



    Oblivion. Huge game, it will keep you playing for hours on end. Great story, very addictive.



    Hope you enjoy them.
  • Well, nobody REALLY knows about MGS4, but it should be absolutely incredible. Out of all the others, definitely Uncharted.
  • Aside from those games already mentioned, I recommend Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. It's a very good game!
  • Uncharted: Drakes Fortune you wont be disappointed
  • Uncharted's cool.
  • Don't you hate this about game systems?

    May be...
  • on every console there's a game you want. such as wii there is zelda and ssbb, xbox with halo and gears, and ps3 with heavenly sword and resistance and GoW 3 and KH 3 when they come out. i went with nintendo and bought a wii but i'm eventually getting a ps3
  • Yep....good for you, that's a good comination to have.
  • yeah i know. but thats what keeps a competition going and prices lower(lower then what they could be atleast) but the good thing is i have all three(but i never play PS3 cause there arnt any good games out yet)
  • welsome to America, home of money (spending)
  • well, some of the games are dissapointments so when you want them u may go to a more reliable game and not the (big THING)
  • What is better PS2 or Wii or Xbox360?

    May be...
  • Right now, it all depends on what you want. If you like online gaming then go witht he 360. If you like playing party games with friends then its the Wii. And if you enjoy a large library of great games and don't mind the look of the graphics compared to new age systems, then definetly PS2.
  • in my opinion, wii is much better then the other game systems. It allows you to actually be a part of the game, plus, its really cool cause its motion sensitive. And, it has some rock awsome games that are only for wii. Also, the Xbox 360 breaks very easily and usually only has M rated games.



    Hope i helped
  • the ps2 is still the best console ever made,the xbox 360 is worthless its more like a pain in the backside for the unfortunate people who own it . the wii is for casual gamers looking to have a good time.the ps3 is yet to prove itself but im sure it come out on top.PS.i cant wait for mgs4!!!!!
  • i played em all

    ps2 was good..

    wii sucks....last thing i wanna do after work is jump around like a twat ...i wanna sit n chill and play a game...if i wanna swing a tennis bat i'll go play tennis......

    x-box 360...i bought one and it lasted 3 weeks before it died in a red blink of the eye......got ps3 and wow....i used to love xbox but now i say ps3 owns....u dont gotta pay for online....bluray.....much better console
  • i'd have to say xbox 360, because microsoft is more experienced then nintendo and sony..for making high quality gaming systems
  • a ps2 and a ps3 my friend coz a ps2 has good graphic and plays only ps2 games but a ps3 has much more entertaining graphics and its compatible....... meaning u can play ps2 games on ps3.............
  • From your list, the 360. But the PS3 is BETTER THAN ALL OF THEM COMBINED!!!
  • OF THEM XBOX360 IS THE BEST IN EVERY CATOGORY, BUT THE PS3 (IF WHAT U MEANT) IS THE BEST SYSTEM OUT TO DATE
  • 360...no1 ever goes on ps3 theres like 3 ppl online xbox is a lot better for online play more games 2....ps2 is old....nd wii is just wack
  • the xbox 360 its online gaming isnt bad but the gamercard should be made to last for a lifetime!!!, im saying nothing about the ps3, coz it aint on the list and u probably hate it
  • 360
  • What would be the cheapest color display that I could buy to connect my Playstation 3 so that I could?

    May be...
  • transport it?
  • DO U HAVE A LAPTOP, IF U DO, HOOK IT UP TO THAT WITH THE ETHERNET CABLE AND PUT IT ON THE SCREEN
  • You could try a standard RGB adaptor, that's what I use.
  • I just bought a Playstation 3. Did I make a big mistake? How is the Playstation doing as far as sales and?

    May be...
  • popularity go?
  • congratulations...ps3 is awesome...its best thing u bought....next u need hd tv if u dont already.

    sales are slow for ps3 but gta changed that and so will metal gear solid 4......and will little big planet,,,,and home......i could go on about why its good....oh it also plays blu-rays which are awesome.

    popularity wise in japan they just broke 1 million psn accounts and europe aint far behind.....ps3 is only true nextgen console at the moment....the rest just dont cut it
  • Sales and popularity should have nothing to do with you enjoying the PS3. Games and features should be the reason you got it, and the PS3 is the console to get for those reasons. There are a number of awesome exclusives coming, and features are always being added. The bluray player alone makes the PS3 worth purchasing.



    The PS2 was the most popular console of all time, so I wouldn't doubt Sony's ability to make their console a top seller. Honestly the Wii will probably be the "winner" in sales this generation, but the Playstations popularity world wide will ensure it eventually takes the 2nd slot (maybe even he first in a few years). As I said, though, sales have nothing to do with you enjoying your gaming console.
  • Metal Gear Solid 4 is comming out very soon so you made a good choice. As far as popularity is concerned, it depends. The sales arent as good as the Wii or 360 but it all depends on what features you are looking for. Having a Blu-Ray player built in is a HUGE plus, free online as opposed to 360's XBL.



    The only thing though is their library of games isnt as good as the 360's if you ask me. Not many great PS3 only games out there as of right now, but dont worry there comming.
  • ps3 is in last place as of now, with wii in first and 360 in 2nd.

    besides for wat some ppl think of the ps3 is that its an expensive console wich has no games, its the most reliable, most advanced console with great features. by the end of this year it will be in at least 2nd place with great exclusive games. if the wii remains in first, its because its cheap, and fun... ps3s the best tho
  • You made a good choice. Most people say it is a bad system, but they don't want to spend the money to get the system. This year there are many big names coming out on the playstation 3 like littlebigplanet. In that game you can make your own lvls and play them with friends and it is really cool. Then there is the unknown game Afrika. With all these games coming out hopefully this and home that comes out this summer, this could be the best system ever. Home will be a huge virtual world with public and private areas. You could go to a bowling ally and then invite some friends to watch a movie at your virtual home. If you want to know more about the games comming out to to www.gamestop.com. www.ign.com and if you want to know more about home go to www.playstationhome.com
  • no you did not just make a big mistake in fact thats the best decision you've made in your whole life. right now the Playstation 3 is in 2nd place in sales. the wii is 1st and the xbox 360 is last. the Playstation 3 isnt the most popular because of the wii but its really really close
  • The PlayStation 3 has been in the lower ratings due to the lack of games. But however, PlayStation 3 has doubled Xbox 360 sales in the past months and will be reaching for No. 1.



    Don't forget about Home that will be released!



    ~Anyone can add Kcdeath94 on PSN~
  • you didnt make a big mistake, the ps3 is the highest rated gaming console ever built. The new games are doing great and it is #2 selling console, next to the wii (wii just took a big hit from some operating hacker)
  • NO you made a great choice!!! and if what the first guy says is true then PS3 will go to top, because i saw something about Wii hardrive MISTAKE i think... either way wii has a mistake now



    can you help me with my question?

  • It's called an investment. You may have just lost the payment of a car, but in return, you've gotten that much closer to making your life perfect. Congrats.

    P.S. if you still have doubts, wait until god of war 3 comes out. They will all disappear
  • Good decision. Sony is coming out with more and more mainstream games and it is a superior system. I recommend a 32"--at least--LCD 720p--at least--tv w/HDMI-HDMI. Good luck and have fun.
  • xbox 360 is the best.... can you get halo 3 on ps3?NO!in my opinion...live is better on the 360 than the ps3 and the wii.so yeah...you made a pretty bad desicion
  • XBOX 360 is yesterday

    Nintendo Wii is now

    Sony PS3 is tomorrow

    ==================

    Gran Turismo 5

    MGS 4

    Final Fantasy series
  • The PS3 is the best console by far.



    Xbox means you have to get X-number of boxes to get the whole thing....lol..External blue ray drive..wireless...
  • My playstaion from america does seem to go to color on a english uk tv. Does anyone know how to configure it?

    May be...
  • to play in color thanks
  • If you're saying what I think you're saying, your PS3 is configured in NTSC (this is used in America). It needs to be PAL (Europe). Unfortunately, you can't change this but I think that it might not make a difference if you connect your PS3 to your TV with HDMI. Is your TV standard definition?

    Will English PS3 games work on an Australian PS3?

  • The PS3 is completely region free. Even US and Japanese games will work. Also, Australia and Europe are both PAL.
  • How can I hook up my iPod to my PS3?

    I tried doing this on my mates 40GB PS3 and it froze for a while then played the very 1st track. Not sure why but it was resolved with the link present in this comment.



    If it doesn't work then I'm sorry but I don't know what else to suggest.
  • Whoa don't be soo uptight, go and ask someone else then Report It
  • Yes, I do it all the time on my 20GB
  • Rock band for ps2?

    May be...
  • i'm getting rock band for my birthday. long story short. drums, mic,guitar. only two controller ports. how does this work? (we got our ps2 th year it came out, so it is one of the older big ones that DON'T have any controller ports on the back?) help.
  • Both the fat ps2 and slim ps2 have two USB ports in the front-I have them both. As for rock band, well, I have that too. There is this white thing that plugs into one of the USB ports (they are next to the controller spots). It has four sections so you can plug the wireless reciever, drum set, mic set, and another guitar all into the USB hub. However, you can use a guitar hero guitar as well which doesn't use USB and just plugs into the regular controller slot.



    Just a note-you can't customize or go online with the ps2 version and sometimes people have trouble playing with the fat ps2.
  • the game comes with a conector that u attach to one usb port the conector has like 2 more usb conactors on it if you buy the game as a complete package it has this item included
  • you need a USB hub (4 USB ports). If you buy the Full bundle of Rock band (Drums, Guitar, Mic.), then it should come with a USB hub.
  • The PS2 version of Rock Band comes with a 4 port USB hub that plugs directly into your PS2.
  • I think they might have a usb port for it.
  • How much is a duel shock 3 controller for the ps3 and when does it come out?

    May be...
  • ,
  • i think its out- its 60 bucks
  • I bought an PS3 like Friday an i bought 2 PS3 controllers. on the top they both say duel shock 3 and on the?

    May be...
  • bottom it say six axis.

    so does ma controller have vibration or not?
  • Sony within the last couple months came out with the dual Shock SixAxis controllers which have Vibrations!. The other ps3 controllers are just plain SixAxis controllers. Doesnt matter which one you get they are Both Sixaxis controllers just the dual shock ones have the vibrations in them aswell. If your wondering what SixAxis is it is a feature like the WII were you can use the remote as a motion sensor. So if you were playing a Racing game on your ps3 and it supported the SixAxis than you could control your Racing Car by Turning your controller instead of using the analogs. Really neat technology not as good as the wii but the PS3 is 1million times better than the wii. I have a ps3 and i just have the normal SixAxis controllers I havnt bothered with the dual shock since theres no difference other then the vibrations.



    I hope this helped!



    DualShock = Vibrations



    SixAxis (is on both Sony ps3 controllers) = Motion sensor



    BTW: My PS3 Username is FavreL go ahead and add me if you want!.



    Blake c.
  • yep. dualshock 3 is vibration..
  • yeah they do because it says shock3 and i have the same things on mine and they vibrate
  • What does MACRO do on a mad catz PS2 controller?

    How do you turn on a PS3 for the first time?

    May be...
  • When I hit the PS button on the controller 4 red lights flash on and then off again. The PS3 remains on standby only.
  • just press the button that is next to the red light when the PS3 is on standby. you might have to connect your controller to the PS3 via a USB cable.
  • Um you flick the the switch at the back of the PS3 itself, there should be a red light on the console,

  • Which resolution is better for the PS3?

    May be...
  • so i got a hdmi and i dont understand which resolution is better 1080i or 1080p????
  • 1080p has a better picture than 1080i because the p stands for progressive scan which gives you high quality picture with less flickering.
  • At the core of the PlayStation 3 you’ll find a remarkably powerful Cell Broadband Engine microprocessor working in unison with the RSX graphics processor. Together, these components create a punishing 2 teraflops of processing power - guaranteed to define the standard of interactive home entertainment for generations to come.

    ps3 40gb
  • 1080p is true hd while 1080i is a bit below true hd ! The p stands for progressive scan and the i stands for interlaced !



    Progressive just means the picture is always being scanned to show the best quality while interlaced is typically lacking picture quality as it is stagnated !
  • 1080p is the highest quality image that you can get. 1080i is a lower quality then 480p. 1080i is a joke. If you can't use 1080p use 720p.
  • you should check out this site where you can get a playstation 3 for free (hey, that rhymes!)
  • 1080p is the best 1080i is the same as 720p
  • 1080p. it's the top definition.
  • 1080p is better cause it gives you a better framerate
  • 1080p is better. It looks a lot better on movies. But it is still better
  • 1080p....dont get fooled with with the i, its ok but, p is the top dawg
  • i think blue ray is the best
  • How do I play call of duty 4 online with the PS3?

    May be...
  • I just got my PS3. I have wireless internet sorted. Do I enter call of duty 4 online grom the game menu or the PS3 network menu? Thanks
  • ok, put call of duty in your ps3 and start the game. on the main menu of call of duty you should see an option that says "multiplayer". click on it and wait for the next screen. now you should see more options, click on the option that says "play online". then that should take you to another screen then you will see 5 options



    option 1. find game (you find a type of online game that you like and you select it, then the your automatically joined into that game with other people)



    option 2. private match (this is when you set up a match with you and some friends)



    option 3. create a class (this is where you create your personal set of weapons that you will use in online matches)



    option 4. barracks (all this is is your rank, like how many kills you have, how many wins you have, etc.)



    option 5. party invite (this is where you invite your ps3 friends into one of your matches)



    hope that helped some

  • Grand Theft Auto 4 help?

    May be...
  • I own Grand Theft Auto 4 for the Playstation 3, and some of the random characters don't spawn in my game. I did the first 2 missions for the random character named Brian, but he does not spawn for the third mission. Badman and other random characters also do not spawn. I did all the missions necessary to have these random characters spawn, but they do not. Is this a technical error that my copy has and is there anyway to fix this?
  • random characters in the game are not out and about 24/7 waiting for u to come around. developers tried to make it as real as possible so they set time clocks on almost everything. just go around the areas as ur going somewhere an they will com up a one time or an other.
  • I already answer the other question you asked which is the same exact question. No the people are not around 24/7 you must just go around town and wait for someone to pop out on your map. hope this helps.
  • Does it make any sense for another Playstation to come out?

    May be...
  • I mean, they've already included almost EVERYTHING into the PS3!



    Does it really make sense for another one to come out?



    Maybe SONY is just trying to stay in the contest with the Wii and the Xox360..
  • Yea everything Sony could think of was put in and PS3 was set to last around 10 years, PS4 will come out aroun 2016 and by that time there will be much bigger advances in technology to implement into it.



    New generation graphics are goood but I want to see photorelistic ones.
  • Hey "Game Master",



    If you were a Game Master you would know that the Playstation brand in 3 generations (PSone+PS2+PS3) has outsold all 5 Nintendo Generations and 2 Xbox Generations.



    Nintendo = 180 million consoles worldwide (NES+SNES+N64+GameCube+Wii)



    XBox = 50 million consoles worldwide (XBox +XBox360)



    Playstation = 245 MILLION CONSOLES WORLDWIDE (PSone+PS2+PS3) !!!!!!!!



    Playstation 2 is also the single most successful console of all time with 125 million systems sold by itself. So when all those people are done with PS2, most of them will buy Ps3.



    Playstation is the market leader in home consoles and Nintendo is the market leader in handhelds.

  • As of know there is no official word for God of War 3 for the PS2 so it can be viewed as a good or bad thing. Because ssony has been selling tons of ps2 systems i would think they would. But I also believe that Sony will start to phase the PS2 out in 2009. So it can go either way.
  • No, God of War 3 is only being released on the PS3.



    PS2 games aren't going to be made forever and by the time God of War 3 comes out on the PS3 next year, the PS2's lifecycle will be nearing it's end.
  • i doubt it. when you buy Chains of Olympus for the psp, there is an advertisement for it on the PS3, no mention of the ps2.
  • idnt kno idnt play dat game
  • It will only be available for PS3.
  • Why doesn't my Playstation 2 have any sound?

    May be...
  • I moved my tv to anoother side of my room and when i plugged in my playstation 2, no sound came out. I plugged in all the cords and it worked before i moved it.
  • try pushing the A/V connector into the back of the PS2. It could be loose so only video displays. This happens all the time.
  • if you're thinking of buying a playstation 3 you should out this site first. they give you a ps3 for FREE! all you need to do is complete a few quick tasks for them.
  • check if the cables are in position (white into white, yellow into yellow etc) or maybe your tv is on mute?
  • Should I buy a Ps3 system Or an Xbox 360? Please help me decide?

    May be...
  • I would like to get an xbox 360 but am very afraid of those 3 red rings of death. a Friend told me that this only happens in the first released versions of the 360 so that if I should buy a 360 elite I should be fine. Now, I really like the ps3 graphics and the fact the it plays blue ray disc even though I wont really use it much because the movies are so overpriced. Theres not much games out for ps3 right now but Id like to play Haze and resistance fall of man. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND ME? Please compare if you can, thanks in advance.
  • Get the new 80GB ps3 bundle June 12.



    The ps3 has a .02% ffailure rate. The Xbox 360 has a 33% failure rate, I have heard that the newer Xbox 360 have a 11% failure rate, but that is still extremely high.



    For the games currently the Xbox has more but not much more. The ps3 will have more either at the end of this year or by the end of 1st quarter next year. since ps3's bluray disks have 50GB of space and the Xbox only has 9GB on each disk, so the games on the ps3 will probably be better and it has greater potential for really good games. The real good games will be Haze, MGS4, Gran Turismo 5, Resistance and as of today, Bioshock.



    The ps3 also cost significantly less in the short run, it might be more expensive initially you get free online gaming($50 a year on Xbox, though it does have more features, But wouldn't you rather buy a game), built in wireless Internet($100 extra on Xbox), hard drives are cheaper 120GB for Xbox is $179.99 for the same price you could get a 320GB for the ps3(almost 3 times the memory) a 120GB for ps3 cost less than a 20GB for the Xbox, a wireless controller with a rechargeable battery and charge cable for an Xbox is $69.99 all the ps3 controllers have that and sixaxis for $15 less ($54.99 for dualshock3), the cheapest wireless headset for the ps3 is $19.99 and you can use it with your bluetooth cell phone(its a bluetooth headset) for Xbox its $59.99, and you have almost no choice but to buy everything from Microsoft so you have very little choice on what you can buy for it. Sony lets you get accessories from many different companies even though they need the money more (they lose about $260 per system because they cost more then they sell them for)



    For the graphics the Xbox and ps3 are almost exactly the same, for now, the ps3 also looks better on sdtv's, on Xbox you need an HDTV to read the words if you don have an HDTV everything is blurry. For the games currently the Xbox has more but not much more. The ps3 will have more either at the end of this year or by the end of 1st quarter next year. since ps3's bluray disks have 50GB of space and the Xbox only has 9GB on each disk, so the games on the ps3 will be better and it has greater potential for really good games (some multiplatform games have been shorten to fit on the Xbox). Xbox games are not cheaper, they start at $60 just like with the ps3. I wonder why Xbox games are just as expensive as ps3 games, they use last gen technologies and apparently it is easier to make them, it is just Microsoft making a big profit. As far as the future potential of the systems go the Xbox is almost at its full potential right now, about 90% (in games, graphics and really everything else), while the ps3 is only about 10% of its full potential.



    The ps3 has tons of free stuff like themes and demos you can download. The ps3 will have all if not more features than Xbox Live by firmware upgrade 3.40

    Ps3 is clearly the better choice
  • 360. 3 year warranty will sort out any rrod issue. better games like gears of war(way better than resistance fall of man) with no.2 on its way, halo3, bioshock, Call of duty 4, Mass effect, dead rising, gta4 download content coming only to 360, plus many more. Haze has got poor reviews. if you like those sort of games then 360 is definately your machine. Online is much better too and i have tried both. Plus 360 upscales your dvds so det a really good picture when watching films and don't have to pay the price. you can download HD films via online if neccessary.
  • reccomend 360..i have one... Never get bored of Call of Duty 4.. with all the people that play online.. da best. Now the 3 rings.. I hade it for about 5 months or so nevr got it. all u need to do is plug the power box out on u wont get it. worth buying. plus all my friends have one too so i will never get bored cuz we play xbox live.
  • it really does not matter to me. in the end they all have pretty much the same games although ps3 is lacking games right now. but for whats out the games for ps3 are great. get a ps3 in my opinion. but if you want a little bit cheaper system go with xbox 360.
  • get a ps3 i mean dont every one say it laks games but have u seen what sony is goin to realese later on theres saints row2, killsone 2, and a whole bunch more coming out this year and then next year so go get a ps3
  • why spend money on an xbox 360 when you can get it for free? just go to this site and complete a few quick tasks and they'll send you one - at no charge!
  • trust me dont take any one elses advice get a ps3 fooking class 360 has %33.3 failer rate my friend has both ps3 and xbox 360 n the 360 is in the garage alonre
  • u should get a ps3 it's better than xbox in many ways and has some awsome games coming up and some already released . go for ps3
  • Playstation Store newest downloads Siren: Blood curse trailer?

    May be...
  • Who else thinks that looks scary, I'm too scared to download it!
  • I think it's very scary, and love the fact that it's episodic, chapter by chapter, like a series, I like it!
  • Theres a demo for it on the Japanese store. It's ok, but not too scary from what I've seen in the demo. The beginning is pretty freaky but the scariness starts to wear at the end.

    What is the best way to leave my ps3?

    May be...
  • i just got my ps3 today. its amazing



    BUT



    when you turn it off what is the best way to leave it when you turn it off?



    1. Stand-by mode (red light)

    OR

    2. just turn off the power all together
  • standby mode because:

    it uses no more power than turning it off (except to light an LED which is NOTHING!)

    You can turn your PS3 on and off with just your controller which means no getting up! this is great because i play while lying in my bed so i dont need to get up before going to sleep if it's late at night
  • Definitely the first one. turning any system on and off isn't good. The stand-by mode barely uses any power and it makes it easier to use when you want to turn it on.
  • okay there;s nothing wrong with turning it off?? I don't know what the person above me is saying



    but yea just leave it in standbye
  • Option 1...unless you want to save that power too...but it doesn't consume that much power.
  • Should i get a ps3 or xbox360?

    May be...
  • I want the ps3 cause the 360 breaks easily with the red ring of death thing and i am a hardcore gamer so the wii doesnt work. Also im planning to get the new MGS4 80GB ps3 another DS3 wireless conroller a playstation eye and burnout paradise is there any other things i would need for my ps3?

    The dude at the bottom copied my post
  • you should get the ps3 because it does note brack easy, and. It have blu-ray (the hd-DVD is dead) only .2 percent that it will brack (33% the xbox 360 will brack red ring of death) you like metal gear the ps3 is for you I will say that in japan the xbox360 is not really poplar in japan becuse they are really good in japan so if you just wait a while the good game will come to the ps3 free wi-fi (xbox 360 $100 for just get buying the wi-fi plug. Free Internet for the ps3 ($50 for the xbox 360). There will be more better game is coming out this year for the ps3 little big planet metal gear final fantasy dragon ball z. The good game is from japan but like gta 4 is very poplar in us but not in japan so that is some reason for getting the ps3 most of the people say that xbox becuse it is us thanks.
  • depends on if you want good games now or later. 360 now, ps3 later. just look at what they have to offer, the rrod is a pain in the *** for 360 but once you et past that and if you take good care of it wwhich u proly will since u are hardcore gamer, then everythin is smooth sailin, i had the same dillemna not too long ago and because i was a hardcore gamer i had to go with 360, their online is a bit spendy compared to ps3's free online but wii was too casual and 360 has excellent achievements system that puts even more competition into the mix outside of games, which i really love. me and three of my friends constantly compete for which one has higher achievement points.
