Got a little tired and bored of the current PC game selections and I was on vacation so I just said screw it and purchased a PS3. My first console since N64. I plugged it in my hdtv and I am completley blown away. CANNOT BELIEVE I WAITED THIS LONG!!! I didn't get any sleep for like 30 hours the games are so amazing! I picked up Red Dead, Bioshock 2, Infamous, Dead Space, Uncharted 2, GoW 3, and Demon's Souls. So far I got a couple hours into Red Dead and Infamous, and most of my time has been on Demo's Souls so far. Other games still shrink wrapped. I am so impressed with these games that I cannot believe it. The exclusives the PS3 has is crazy! Anyway, thought I would make my first post here. Also anyone try a PS3 on one of those 4 color hdtvs that now add yellow to blue red and green, and if so does it look much nicer? Also I have yet to try anything online or multiplayer, was thinking of getting the PS3 earpiece but haven't decided. Thanks.

Nice, welcome to the ps3 family. I know you have a lot of games on your plate at the moment but here are some to look for in the future unless you have them for the PC.

Batman AA, Borderlands, Modern warfare 2, Dragon Age, Final Fantasy 13, Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, Resident Evil 5, Metal Gear Solid 4

Future releases:

Killzone 3, Infamous 2, Final fantasy VS 13.

Yeah, the second is a lot more fun if you've played the first. I'd give it a rent at least.

At least you got the right console. I admit that the PC is better when games are done right, but the PS3 is an awesome console with BRILLIANT exclusives. You'll also enjoy it more than the 360, as most 360 exclusives are on PC.

It seems like every single person who bought a PS3 after Uncharted 2 came out does this. Trust me the first game is just as enjoyable, and you might as well get the extra story in the order it was meant to be played. Plus it's like $15 now.

As for the game choices I chose, it basically came down to what the stores around me had in stock, games I heard about and wanted to try, and price. Buying that many games, hdmi cable and ps3 on the spot isn't cheap. Uncharted 2 was 46 bucks and didn't even think of Uncharted 1. Also I beat Dragon Age, Borderlands and RE5 on PC. I travel a TON for work (2k miles/week) so these games will last me a LONG time. I also don't care about MW2 and the whole Assassins Creed stuff. And I have always hated MGS and think its the worst game series period.

Most? No, not even close to most. I wish, but unfortunately it is not so.

I was exaggerating. But the only ones I ever cared about (Mass Effect, Gears, Left for Dead) are.

Enjoy it! They truly are great!

As for your first question I have absolutely no clue. For the second however, it's completely up to you. It depends whether you have a good array of friends to communicate with. Otherwise, getting one would seem pointles as generally, many people don't use headsets because they are being charged and saved for when they talk to their friends. That said, if you are going to get one, I would get a wired headset. Not only do they cause less health problems but they don't need charging!

Doing that is bad because it paints Uncharted 1 in a WAY worse light.

I still wouldn't miss out on Uncharted. Sure, I played it first, but even if I didn't, I definitely would go back and play it. It's a great game, no matter how superior Uncharted 2 is.
