Some beginner questions.

I am going to get a PS3 and I need some advice.

First

-What would you guys reccomend to get along with the console (Games, Extra accessories, Things to connect to the internet. [I have wireless btw])

All i know is that ratchet and clank and call of duty are supposed to be really good.

-Also, What is the difference between the different console versions, and what are the different versions and their cost?

Thanks so much

PS. I'm 16 if that helps

Answer: If you have an HDTV, get HDMI cables, also get a seperate USB charge cable for the contrioller (They are longer then the ones that come with the system). Games: Resistance, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, Call Of Duty 4, Oblivion, Kane & Lynch, Ratchet and Clank. All my personal favs.

The PS3 80gb comes with MotorStorm (If you are in the USA). It is backward compatible, priced at 499$.

The 60gb is no longer made, but might be able to find it. Comes with no games and think it still is 499$.

The 40gb comes with Spider-Man 3 Blu-Ray and is NOT backward compatible 399$.

Thanks so much

You can put anything USB into the USB ports. How many you will need at one time all depends on you. I use one for my controller charger. It just sits there until I need my controller chared. Some people use all 4 ports and want more. Getting a 40gb, it comes with just 2 USB ports and not 4. The controllers are wireless, there is no wired controller options for the PS3, unless you are charging it.

ok. i definitely will hook it up to my hdtv but both of the component slots are occupied (one for my comcast cable, and one for my little sister's wii). can i buy something like a power strip that lets me attach more, or will i have to move the wii?Preds1123

I am confused, the Wii is not HD at all. It should not be hooked up with HD cables.

you can have component cables for wii.. its not HD because it only goes up to 480p...at least that's what i think..

you're right. its not hd capable but you can attach component cables on an hdtv to get better quality. theres a noticeable difference but i could move the wii to a different tv if i had to. (wii on hdtv without cables is worse than on a regular tv)Preds1123

I would change it, I mean the Wii looking kind of better is not as good as a PS3 looking GREAT on HDTV's. Kick the Wii to the curb.

Or just switch out. >_>

Thanks a ton!

One Last question, what part of the HDTV do HDMI cables hook up to?

The HDMI input....It's shaped like the end of the HDMI cable.
