PS3 Slim vs PS3 Phat?

May be...

Ive had enough with my xbox career so far, cause I have had 3 previous xboxs that have all broken down within 6 months on average and now my current arcade one has just fried, and I havent used it more than any other 360 person. Maybe its that Im just unlucky because many people are fine with theirs.

Anyway.

Im gonna go with a PS3 and just ignore the high price compared to the xbox. So far all Ive found out in differences with the phat and slim is that the slim uses less power, it gives off less heat is quieter and you can by a 120gb slim for the same price as a 80 gb phat . Is that right? but the phat looks way better than the slim and many people are sticking with their phats cause they know its very very reliable.

So basically the scores are:

Phat: - Slim:

2 - 4

Please could any one that has an opinion give an answer that covers as much as possible cause I will give the most detailed the best answer and if you could sum it up or whatever with summin like;

phat:- slim:

2 - 4

=p

The 80 GB looks cooler but its a dust magnet body.If you got 80 GB then you have always clean your 80 GB PS3.Because its get dirty fast because of thier ceramic black paint.In my opinion you have to buy PS3 slim because The PS3 slim (officially called the PS3 CECH-2000) will feature an upgradeable 120GB hard drive and is 33% smaller, 36% lighter, and consumes 34% less power than previous models.The cooling system has been redesigned and Cell processor has moved to a 45nm manufacturing process.The PS3 slim will also include support for BRAVIA Sync allowing control of the console over HDMI and will run quieter than previous models but no longer has the ability to install third party operating systems such as Linux.

So buy it Because it has more features then PS3 80 GB.Sorry for bad English.

well phat for the looks and slim for the hardriove and the weight and the size

slim is better if your going to be playing it all night plus it's the 2nd gen of playstation3

Well for starters the PS3 had a price drop of $100 effective now ! So the Slim and Fatty PS3 go for $299 while the 160GB with Unchartered: Drake's Fortune packed in goes for $399 !



Yes you're correct about the Slim being quieter and it does use less power ! On a down note, neither PS3 will play PS2 games nor can you download the LINUX OS ! Sony has stated that BC is not coming back so that's a bummer for people who wanted a BC PS3 !



Thew only major differences between the Slim and Fatty besides the size is the Slim can now be paired to any Sony Bravia tv with a feature known as Bravia Synch !



If you have a Bravia TV and you hook up your new PS3 with an HDMI cable (…not included), you can operate the PS3’s media bar with your TV’s remote – you can even set it to turn the system off when you turn the TV off.

Play station 3 ps3 Ethernet cable.?

May be...

ok so i got a ps3 slim today this is my first time

and i need to know what kind of cable i need for the ps3 Ethernet cable

please quick

i don't know what to do

i know where to put it and stuff i just dont know what kind i need for the ps3

all you need is an Ethernet cable, because the Slim has Wi-Fi it doesn't come with one so you'll have to go buy one, or if you have any extra ones lying around use one of those

an ethernet cable that came with the ps3

Is it true sony are going to start charging?

May be...

Is it true sony are going to start charging for their live service?

My bro's a Dm working in the industry - hes a bit sketchy about details but told me sony are going to start charging (possibly around christmas time) in Europe for a premium live service. I googled but all I’ve found is this: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/art…

Cant find anything concrete or official. Please understand I’m not after personal opinion (I’m looking for backups or links on this from experts, retail employees etc if you've they've 2 minutes)?

I dont think anyone on yahoo will be able to answer this. Sony certainly won’t confirm it because they have a history of BS. Youre better off asking this on the official forum or user forums. Every 12yr old who owns a games console thinks theyre an expert on yahoo.

That's highly doubtable. If sony were to do that that would just give undecided console buyers a reason to get xbox because if I'm gonna pay for somthing its gonna be top of the line. Sony decided om free service to lure gamers not push them away. Let's say there's a small chance sony needs a profit and and does charge, it wouldn't be near 50 dollars and if it did, u can just see PSN soaring past xbox live.

You won't find a true answer here, just opinions. At this point in time, I would say no. I don't own a PS3, but I'm pretty sure Xbox Live has a lot more features which is why it costs money. So as long as they are trailing the Xbox in feature, I don't see how they could charge. They would also be taking away a reason why some people like PS3 over 360. When people give reasons why they like PS3 more, they always say free online play.

Used PS 3 Battlefield: Bad Company Gold Edition---Unlockables Question?

May be...

If I buy a used copy of the Gold Edition, am I able to use the unlocks that were included with it when it was new? I know that all the same unlocks are accessible through playing the game on the standard edition so if they are designed to be used by the original owner and can't be accessed when you buy used, then it isn't worth the extra money to me. Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give me.

yes they are on the disk not on a card so youll get them

How do you get full HD on a ps3 with the 2 red, green, yelow, and blue cables its only 480i?

May be...

i recently bought a new 42inch phillips HD tv for my family. and my son talked me into it because he has the ps3 40g and the hd stuff, but my step son told us to buy the colored cables so we did and when he plugged it in he noticed it said 480i not 1080p can any body tell us how to change it my son try ed be fore but did something wrong any. do i need to but different cables or in the display setup what does he do because we cant figure it out. it dosent say colored cables or have a picture of them.

First of all lokk at that cable you are using. One set of Yellow, Red and White should be seperate from the Red, Green and Blue(maybe also Red and White). Only plug the Red, Green and Blue cables into the TV.(also the appropriate sound cable) I am guessing you have that yellow one plugged in and are on that input on the TV. I hope this helps.



Also try



http://columbiaisa.googlepages.com/playstation3_hookup.htm

you have to go to Settings>Display Settings>Video Output Settings then configure the ps3 to either 1080p, 1080i or 720p.

You can get HD out of component (the one with lots of colors) but it doesnt have enough bandwidth to support Full HD and for that you need an HDMI cable

Since you have been using the SD cables, your ps3 thinks that it can only emit an SD signal even though you are using HD cables. You have to go to your ps3 settings and enable 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080p. Then, you will get an HD quality signal.

The component video cables support up to 1080i and you could always buy a HDMI cable of amazon for 4 cents and give that a try. Other wise try changing the setting on the ps3 or it could be the game you are playing.

go into the video setting on the ps3 and click 480p, 720p,and 1080i the ps3 will then ask u do you want to keep this settings click yes..and your in hd heaven

the component cables of which you speak will give you full hd but he may need to change the settings on the ps3 to go to 1080p

For those wondering about the ps3 slim vs ordinary ps3?

May be...

I got my ps3 yesterday afternoon from game stop. i had it on pre order and they got them in early (yay!). This is what i've found.



It is thinner than the ps3, but nearly just as wide.

Still kinda heavy

It looks nice but no rotating Playstation Symbol

Wouldnt trust it standing upright, wobbly without stand

New start up screen displaying PS3 new logo

A bit faster than the original

Very quiet, can barely even hear it at all in a quiet room

I had it on for 4 hours trying to download Killzone 2 demo, and it got pretty darn hot/over heated. bummer :(.



Do you trust the original ps3 or the slim? any other questions?

Just make sure that the ps3 can get a loit of air to help cool the system.

Thanks for giving us a little review. I still trust the slim, but not as much as the original because the original has been out for much longer so it's more trusted. When you say a bit faster do you mean the games load quicker? The original looks nicer than the slim, and they want you to buy a $25 stand so you can stand it upright.

thank u very much...

Do u think that there will be a remake of ff10 for ps3?

May be...

No, because FFX is already on the PS2. The game isn't that old. Besides, SE isn't remaking FFVII so why remake FFX. Very few people say that FFX is the best FF game, while a lot of people say that FFVII is the best FF game. If SE isn't going to remake the more popular game, why would it remake a less popular game.

They have left the door open for a FFVII remake

No!



Now go and pull the thing that's in the rectangle hole in your wall walk through it and inquire about purchasing a life.

How to burn ps3 games to disk?

May be...

Hi there, iv'e been doing a little research i have come across two sites:

http://www.allconsoledownloads.com/

http://unlimitedps3downloads.com/



Now from as far as i can gather you can burn the game onto a dvd + r Dual Layer.

What i really need to know is that

1. It requires no flashing/modding consoles whatsoever

2. That it runs completely normal when you put it into your ps3, xbox 360

3. That it would run on any other console, e.g. my friend's absolutely fine like the real thing.



Before i pay for the membership, i need to know these things, and if the information above is provided could you tell me which site is best to go with?



Thanks guys

They are both scams. Here are my sources:

there both scams you cant even play copied ps2 games without a modded ps2 so there's no way you would be able to play copied games on a ps3 with the advanced technology and even if you could you would need to burn it onto blu-ray or the ps3 wouldn't recognize it as a game

I don't believe most PS3 games will copy to a DVD-R. They use Blu-Ray for a reason; the DVD-R doesn't have enough space to hold it all. You must copy to Blu-Ray. Its not easy to compress that data either.



You can't copy PS3 games and this is common knowledge. That's how we know its a scam. Sony and the game developers do not permit copying any Playstation games for any reason whatsoever and they do not provide legal downloadable copies to sites like these.



Another reason is its too good to be true. Downloading games for any console with one flat fee? It is never, ever that simple or easy, especially with the current gen consoles. (One of them is using the concept pic of the PS3, how pathetic).



All Playstation consoles require a mod chip to play burned games and they never play without console modification (since all of this is illegal). There is no mod chip for the PS3. That is just one reason why it won't play burned PS3 games. No exceptions to this.



Copied games will not work once game updates become available. This is probably one of the biggest reasons why copying PS3 games have been so unsuccessful to this point. The console itself will probably stop working it you had attempted to mod it.



Sony will ban you from the PSN permanently once you try to run the copied game. Sony could also have you reported to the local authorities for committing piracy. Your ISP can also report you for committing piracy. They will figure out what you're doing because you're gonna be attempting to download some really big files and that will use up cap limits and things like that.



Its cheaper to buy the game in the end. Don't risk missing out on updates or trouble with the law.

So the ps3 is going down in price?

May be...

does any one know what the new price will be???

The PS3 should have already gone down in price everywhere. It was announced at GameCom last week and should have gone into effect immediately. 80 GB is $299 and the 160 GB is $399. Once these models are gone, they're gone forever.



The new PS3 Slim model will be released soon and is priced at $299. Its replacing the Fatboys.

US- 120GB Slim model 299$

UK- same above model 225-250£

Europe- 299 Euros



US- 80GB old model with a game 299$

UK- same model with game 225-250£.

Europe- 299 Euros.

theres a new ps3 coming out on 1st september and that going to be priced at £250 so the original one is guna be about £150

In europe: 300 Euros

In USA: $300

I dont know the exact price but g4tv said they were coming down 100 dollars.

Depends where you are on the planet.

a couple days ago in certain walmarts they came down to $300 thats all i know about.

In england, America Canada where are you??? Probably 300 pounds i hear!!

How long will they keep making PS2 games?

May be...

i know the ps2 is pretty old, and now there is a ps3, but i still see some new ps2 games once in a while, how long will it be before they totally stop making ps2 games?

Game developers will keep making games for the PS2 as long as they're still making money off of it, even if Sony stops producing the PS2 console itself. The PS2 is still a successful and profitable platform.

The same thing with the PS1, when majority of the people decided to play with their PS3, the demand for PS2 games would drop.

PS2 is almost 10 years old. THey are going to stop very soon. Im suprised they still making games people like totally forgot about GBA and wii even tho its newre then ps2 and xbox is gone LONG gone LOL

not for too much longer hopefully, ps2 is getting old and junk, collect as many as you can now!

As soon as people don't buy them or when they do not make as much profit from it.



But hey,PS2 is still popular,I still play the PS2 myself.

se..ps2 is not like ps1 even if its getting old...according to me there are still many more games to come in ps2...and some people said that fifa street 3 will not be available on ps2..but now it is

Not long, because in the U.K. there is this shop that dropped the price because they have to get rid off everything!!!

as soon as the ps3's price drops

PSP Go! or Ps3?!????

May be...

you see the psp go has bluetooth capability so is compatible with the ps3 dualshock controller, and connected to the tv, it's practicly a game console, so with that being said what is best the ps3 o psp go!?

they are basically 2 diffferent consoles with the same games.



ones for gaming at home with hd and ones for gaming where ever u want.

Are you joking



PSP GO has 16gb vs PS3 slim 120gb GEE i dont no



go with ps3 its like almost the same price ( $50 bucks difference ) and its so small you gotta bring it to your eye socket to see or play any games trst me they wont make much money outta the GO people dont give roll wit PSPz no more



and no its not a game console or even close its a game handled

mhm i see i was actually thinking about this other day wait for the psp go. psp can wait. instead do what im doing get the ps3 slim comes out first week of september for $299.00 120 gb hardrive . and i currently have all 3 main sytems and handhelds. and yeah i have 4 x box 360"s 3 which are broke from red rings of death and the other ones sounds like a effin gocart like i said ps3!!!!! anymore questions e mail me happymuffin@ymail.com

I would get a Ps3



mainly because it does everything the PSP Go can, and more.

the psp go is exactly the same as the old psp.it is not high def graphics or anything special dude.the ps3 is what u should buy

Buy an Xbox 360.

ps3!!!

ps3 is the best!!!!!

Don't expect too much, most Id say, would be like 90$ to gamestop, they seriously RIP you off!!, sell these items on ebay or craiglist and you're looking at 150$+



Note: Don't expect too much and you'll be surprised how much you get out of that, great things happen when you least expect them, better keep your fingers crossed.

About 30-40$ for the console itself if you are lucky. Factor in another 2-3$ per game and your looking at at least $200 from gamestop or another store. Its not much but hey.

depends on where you sell it if you sell at a game store you'll only get a fraction of what its worth try selling it on ebay.

Over $100.00

What Ways Can A 12 Year Old Make Enough Money So That I Can Get A X-box Arcade And Halo.?

May be...

i live in a bad neighbor hood so i cant do cleaning house jobs and i cant get an allowance, and i cant sell stuff on the internet so all i can do is sell stuff at school and i wont make enough money doing that i also have tons of old stuff to sell but i don't know were to sell it so i need major help.!

i agree with the other person here, you can get an arcade but if you want to play Halo online you will need a hard drive which cost a lot of then you will have to get a subscription to Live which cost more money, i mean don't get me wrong if you can buy this with the money you make more power to ya but this is usually the case with the 360. If you have old games or old consoles take them to gamestop you might get some stuff, to sell some stuff try Craigslist.org although be careful since it could be a dangerous place, have an adult with you if you do sell something ok buddy!



Good luck my friend!

Hey dude, you know you have to spend another $100 for a wifi adaptor just to play online right? and you have to spend another $50 a YEAR just to do online gaming. Then, you have to spend another $30 just to charge your controller right?



I'm not kidding :|. Also, you have to get hard drive for your 360 or else your can't save games or even go on Xbox Live. That's going to cost you another $100.



Your going to spend a total of $280 more than what your supposed to :\. With the Arcade, that's $480, not even including Halo.



Good luck making money man. If I were you, I would rather buy a PS3.

what about a yard sale? also do you just not have a computer to post on ebay? if u dont how about getting another family member or a friend to help.



what about other ways to make money? baby sitting, mowing lawns, raking leaves, etc.

Parents? Your 12 so they gotta help you out some how. Make your parents a promise that you do good in school they will buy you a ps3.

hmm why u asking this on the PlayStation section.... either open ur eyes n get a ps3 or go back to the xbox sextion

Lemonade stand

Rob a house! JK Don't do it! There's garage sale (maybe that won't work) Well... yeah good luck!

Sell crack and get a PS3...

Get a paper route

the corner? lol jk jk.. mowing lawns . yard sale..not ebay they charge you for posting stuff on ebay..
