ps3 woth buying?

i have a 360 premium i just bought a week ago and it gets very hot.and im scrared its gonna brake or catch fire.

so im thinking of getting a elite or a ps3, my hdtv does 1080i.but some ps3 games only do 720 p or what ever it is.

will my tv play those games or will it knock the video down to 480 p? also the new update that upgrades the dvd movies and ps2 games will that update help me out at all? one more thing how does the online work do i have to use a diffrent gamertag with every game i buy or rent?

any other info about the ps3 would be nice too

thanks for the info

1. it probably will break
2. only upscale using HDMI
3. yes your tv will play 720p on the ps3
4. i would rather get the ps3 i mean your on a ps3 board come on more varity coming out

I think the PS3 will run at 1080i.playstation_wii

All I can say is.. serves your ass right. And I don't care if I get suspended for telling you that.chubear700

If you're looking from a hardware perspective, the PS3 is more reliable than the XBOX360. What it really comes down to, however, is the games. If you want to play the games that will be coming out for PS3, then go for it. I'm more than happy with mine, and if I had to choose between my 360 and my PS3, I'd go with the PS3, but that's just me.
But if you can afford both...babystapler

And you should keep your 360 on something that will get it off the floor/carpet so the carpet won't heat it up even more. My ps3 also heats up badly so i got a thing to put it onstonesbro

FYI. 720p looks better than 1080i because 720p is progressive and 1080i is interlaced. The 720p picture will look better and the format will be in what the game was intended to look like.

Hmm, well frst of all, given the history, there is a decent chance your 360 wil break either from the faulty hardware/red ring of death or from the fact the 360 fan is not very efficient, though i have found the ps3 fan to run quietly and do fine, provided the fan is not obstructed by a wall or floor, etc.. Yes, if you have it hooked up to component or hdmi cables, your ps3 itself can output to the highest resolution supported by your tv, i.e 1080i but games will be downscaled to the highest resolution supported by the game itself for example resistence will be downscaled to 720p because that's its max output. Games however, will evolve to support higher resolutions, as a few of the games in the next few months can support up to 1080 p. Yes the new upscaling update is great because effectively it makes your dvd player useless by upscaling your normal dvds, ps2 games and ps1 games to high definition. You will notice a great difference, especially since by the fact you want a blu ray player, you are probably looking to enjoy your movies in hd, this will allow you to enjoy regular dvds in hd as well. For online, it is very simple. all you have to do, is set up an internet connection either wireless network or ethernet lan and just sign up for the playstation network. Once you have an playstation network account, that's it. You can use it for any game, to download things from the store etc. Overall the ps3 has endless features in terms of hardware and software and is really a great buy for you, especially since you have an hdtv.

YES. just buy the PS3

Dude...I have a 360 Premium and I would give it up for the PS3 anyday, first generation games look as good as the present 360 games, and are only getting better. The build qaulity and features of the PS3 are far beyond the 360 trust me, it truly is next generation.

bokoooos

I have a ps3 and i like it a lot but how can you say 360 games look like 1st gen games, that is one dumb statement. Gears of War is probably the best looking console game on shelves right now. Graphically both systems are even. I'd keep the 360, most people commenting here are ps3 owners and of course will say ps3. 360 is a great console and just get the ps3 later on down the road. More games on the 360 but later this year the ps3 will have better games so i'd get one then. If you have the money then go for it, i had the money so i went ahead and got one.

Get PS3 when MGS4 come out so you'll miss the PS3 drought Nov 17 - Sept 07. 360 did have about the same Drought, until Gears of War came out, a lot of 360 users forget about that drought.

PS3 + MGS4 = Happy Gamer or PS3 + FFXIII or PS3 + Killzone 2 ( If it's kick ass )

+ uncharted, GT5, GTA4, LBP, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, etc.
