Not looking for a biased answer so dont say buy one cause you love it but rather please answer these questions with truth.

1. Does it come with cables to support my sd tv ?

2. I hear some games have mods do all games support this ?

3. I heard some games require an install to the hdd someone expand on that ?

4. Is the psn home beta an open or closed beta ?

5. How is the controller compared to the ps2 ? Cause ive hated the ps2 controlled ever since ive played with my xbox one

6. Ps1 games are avalible online so is crash team racing and other old crash bandicoot games avalible online ?

7. A while back there was a deal where if you bought a ps3 you could get 5 free blu-ray movies is that still going ?

8. I heard that there might be a fee of $20 a year in the future for things like demos and stuff is that still going ?

9. Do all games have trophies ? Cause im a achievement addtict and trophies seem to be pretty close.

10. Are blu-ray movies any good on sd tv or do I have to use an hd tv to get a good blu-ray experience ?

11. Is the ps3 backwards compatibile still with ps2 games ?

1. yes

2. no

3. cuts down on loading times

4. more of a demo stage but it's open

5. same except the r2 and l2 act like triggers rather then buttons

6. not sure i don't think so

7. no idea but i doubt it

8. no, sony is all about free online.. they have a thing called qore that you can subscribe to that gives kind of exclusive content (demos, betas, free games)

9. since jan 09 yes.. some previous games have gotten a patch

10. never tried

11. not anymore, only the launch system had it, i believe.

1. Yes

2. No

3. You need to install most games which takes no more than 1/2 hour.

4. I think it's open, but not sure.

5. It's the same shape, the L1, L2, R1, R2 buttons may be in a little bit different area on the controller, but about the same place. L2, R2 buttons are kind of like triggers now. ANALOG button is replaced with the PS button. SIXAXIS has a motion sensor in it.

6. Not sure about CTR. I know that you can download the originial Crash Bandicoot and like 3 sequels for about 5 bucks.

7. Never heard of the deal.

8. Never heard of that either. It's all free right now and it'll probably stay free. The game creators like handing out free demos because they hope somebody will download it and realize it's a cool game and then go out and buy it.

9. Not all games, but a lot of them do. Click HERE to see which games do.

10. Bluy Ray movies are higher quality so I'll say yah. I played it on a sd tv in my room and it seemed to look better, but I have no proof of that.

11. Some PS3s can play PS2 games. Click HERE and scroll down to "retail configurations" to see which ones can.

Hope this helps.

Just wanna touch on 7 & 8... 7.They're not doin the blu-ray bundles anymore, From what I gather it just cost 'em too much. I'm sure, however that e-bay will ahve a ton of "bundles". IMO, the best retail bundle is the Uncharted bundle. 8.They (sony) decided to charge devolpers bandwith usage for demos and content on the ps store. Not sure if this is in effect yet, but for us, PSN is, and shall remain free.

1. Yes

2. UT3 is actually the only game I know of that does.

3. A few games do require it. It only takes a few minutes. DMC4 takes like 20 minutes, though. The newer games coming out are not requiring it at all. few might in the future, but it'll probably be due to the epic scale of ingame environments and graphics.

4. Its open

5. Its made the same, but the L2 and R2 to triggers. They're not good triggers. I recommend the Gioteck trigger extensions.

6. Not sure about Crash Team Racing, but there are some Crash Bandicoot games on there.

7.No. They don't do that anymore.

8. ITS 100% FREE!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!

9.No. A majority of the older games lacked them. HOWEVER, theyhave started to implement them in every game and are patching them to the oldergames.They will probably all have them eventually.

10.You, honestly need an HDTV to enjoy the Blu-Ray or PS3 graphics in general.You should probably get that first.HD on and SD TV looks like SD.Though, it will look a lot better it won't look as amazing as its meant to be. Thebonus features are awesome on any TV, though.

11. Not anymore. If this is a feature you're interested in I recommend searching for an old 80 gig. Supposedly Amazon had the 80 gig MGS4 bundle available again. If this is true that would be your best shot at PS2 BC.
