Possibly an extra controller and/or HDMI cable if you have an HDTV that has an HDMI slot. Other than those, you're good to go. Just have to wait for more games to come out. You can always try out some Blu-Ray movies, too.

Also you should look into F1CE if you're into racing games the graphics are amazing and the career mode is really deep, also Motorstorm the online is crazy!

Yes get F1CE if your into racing but in 1 or 2 week get The Darkness and then more games are coming like even week for the PS3. I can't wait for Lair and Nascar.

The Prestige is pretty awesome on blueray. Resistance, Oblivion, Motorstorm, Virtua Fighter 5are allgreat. As for downloadable games I really love blast factor. The rest of the PSN is pretty meh right now.

Also, don't forget the wifi. i use it on my ps3. Comes built in. For the 360, I'm going to have to buy a wifi adapter that costs freakin 100 bucks. What a waste.

LMAO!:lol:

Yeah I would say foremost enjoy oblivion it's amazing! As well as resistance online and single player! The free demos on PSN give you a good idea what games are worth getting.

I'm not going to tell you what to buy due to the fact that everyone has different gaming preferences. I will say that Resistance is a good pick(Eeven though I hardly play it anymore). Well, I hardly play the PS3 period anymore...Lol.

I'm going to get a PS3 later this month and will be picking up Resistance and FFXII. My PS2 broke a long while ago so I'll have a chance to play my PS2 games again.

Also I think it's funny that the PS fanboys say Xbox only has 2 games and then proceed to list just about every game for the PS3. Xbox has plenty of games. Just because the most popular surpass any PS3 game doesn't mean you need to be offensive about it.

Oh and about the Xbox 360 price vs PS3 price. You forgot an HDMI cable that doesn't come with the supposedly future proof console. You also don't get a headset. With the 360 you're completely ready to jump into Xbox Live with a 1 month Gold subscription. Wonderful isn't it?

Fanboys are crazy. I'd have to say that the PS fanboys are easier to provoke, even with the slightest mention of the competition they strike relentlessly.

Btw, not having to be bound by playstation.com forum rules about not even mentioning other consoles is quite nice!

Ninja Gaiden sigma is great for a future game. Graphically and gameplay wise both. I personally loved the demo and it's coming out later this month/early july. for right now resistence is my favorite pick, but motorstorm is also pretty good as a racing game. Also, for future titles, coming out in the span of a few month, i would say look into lair, war hawk, killzone 2, heavenly sword, and Ratchet and Clank Tools. Those are some of the games i am looking forward to personally. Otherwise, welcome to the ps3 community and hope you enjoy your purchase as much as i have.

and for u my friend...dont u understand the ps3 is sony's way of marketing blu-ray.....o and btw online isn't 60 its 50 and its not just online its online, which kicks the crap out of the playsataion network, a couple of arcade games, a head set, 200 microsoft points, and somtimes a 20 rebate on a game...g thats a rip off...
