Hi everyone.

I finally got a PS3 on friday. I went to Gamestation (in the UK). Traded in my premium 360, 6 games : GH2 with controller, GH3, COD4, Bioshock, PGR4, Burnout Paradise, Vision Camera, play & charge kit, messenger chat pad kit. They gave me £334 store credit to use on getting a new PS3. I ended up paying £5 to trade all that in for a 40GB PS3, i got Motorstorm & Uncharted with it (plus free bluray film Spiderman 3).

Signed up to the PSN no trouble. Easier than signing up for Xbox Live IMO. So far i've downloaded a few playable demos and a few free themes. Only thing that seems strange is how you pay for extra content/old games etc, using your bank account/credit card. Wouldnt it be good if they released a voucher scheme to pay for online stuff like on Xbox Live (for people who dont have a credit or debit card)? i have these to pay for online purchases but so far have refrained from putting my details in!

My opinion so far is the PS3 is very good. Motorstorm looks superb, its quite hard at first, but once you play it a good few times and work out the best routes to the race makes it easier to win. Uncharted is also good, kinda reminds me of Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones.

A few questions....

How many friends can you add upto?

Will any blue tooth headset work or do they have to be game related version?

Welcome to the next gen gaming,dude!!!

''How many friends can you add upto?''

As far as I know you can add 50 friends to your list

''Will any blue tooth headset work or do they have to be game related version?''

Without a doubt,they'll.Just search for blue tooth headset for ps3 on websites such as amazon,gamespot and play-asia if you don't have one.

Last I heard it was 100 friends, but that may have been people asking to increase the limit to 100.

Also not all headsets are comptible, the Jawbone isn't (which is a shame as it's like the best headset ever) and I think a couple of others have problems too. Best to do some research on it

i'm hardly new to next gen gaming, i owned an xbox 360 for 2 years. But as it has been repaired once, then several weeks after being repaired (got it back just after christmas) and it started to freeze and get really hot again..i got fed up and traded it in for a PS3..so far i'm impressed. ok the online isnt as good yet, but i have faith Sony will make it better (whether its with Home, or by adding more features etc), i'd like to be able to see what games your PSN friends are playing.

Nope... you have to create a new one or stick with the one you created.
