well, im pretty pissed off today, My 3rd xbox 360 broke, and surprisingly it didnt get the 3 RROD it got 2... which means overheat.. even if i let it rest for 10 hours it still overheats within 2 minutes (thanks for the **** console ms) and just today from being so pissed off i was thinking, hey maybe i should get a PS3.... (we have one in the house just its not mine and i hardly play it) itleast the PS3 isnt having gay problems like the RROD... and its online service is free,, which surprisingly works better then LIVE ive had so much problems with live this year it makes me wonder why i have to pay for it. so what i wanetd to know was what kinda stuff does the PS3 have and etc... what game should i get? should i get the 40gig? or better? when do the rumble controllers come out? cause i really dont like the sixaxis,

Note ive tried searching for ps3 games but i cant seem to find alot that i like so far its just socom(which isnt out yet) uncharted is pretty cool to, so im just trying to get opinions on what good games are out there and or coming out..

ok.. it depends on wat games you like but i recommend u play....uncharted, ninja GS (unless u played the old ones), warhawk, Cod4, fokelore, ratched and clank (its a bit on the easy side), resistance (i loved the campiagn, multiplayer is crazy too), oblivion (unless u played it), and UT3...theres more but i havent played them...

sixaxis is coming out pretty soon....hopfully in feb, if not..march, but u can get them NOW if u buy it online at playasia.com or something..i cant remember.

psn works great...sure theres not as much stuff as live, but its free and no lag unless ur connection is bad...good luck man

If you have PS1 or PS2 games you want to replay and don't have a working PS2 then sure, get a 60GB or 80GB Model. The 40GB isn't a bad console, it's just a cheaper SKU and like they say, "You get what you pay for". I'd reccomend an 80 over a 40, plus it comes with a free game, Huzzah! As for good games, or ones i'd reccomend simply go with Uncharted, R:FoM, Warhawk.. I have Heavenly Sword, but not many people justify it as a good purchase more go with Rent, it's still an enjoyable game.

If you don't have PS2 games, just get the 40GB PS3. You will have only 2 USB ports, no backwards compatibility, no memory stick readers and that's pretty much it. Definitely worth the money.

thanks for the info. and yea i think im gonna go with an 80 gig, got some old ps2 games but no ps2, (i didnt know the 40 gig was not backwards compatible) im also gonna try and get COD4 uncharted and unreal tournament 3, the big game i want though is socom. and i was looking at Home today that looks really cool for ps3... now the thing is i gotta figure out when im gonna buy a ps3 lol. i wish my xbox didnt break though lol, its got great games but the console itself has sirious issues, and i dont feel like buying another one just for it to break again. thanks again all

Always trust sony! Ps3 is the **** So much you can do. i recommend getting a 60 gig. Lots of space for demos and music and such.Youl get blown away of the themes they have online. Good choice on getting a ps3!

keep your xbox. you will regret not having it. the games speak for its self. ms has a 3 year warrenty on them. so send it back and get another one. PS3 is not a gaming console. Its a Blu ray player, that plays games. If it didn't play blu-ray it would be another dreamcast.

whatever, the PS3 has plenty of great games with the promise of more to come unlike the Xbox 360, i would however keep your Xbox 360 if you can afford it for those occasions where you want to play some 360 exclusives.

Picked myself up a ps3 while the 360 was in the shop and ended up liking it more :O. I can leave it on for hours without worrying about rrod or anything and the games are decent but Im looking forward to the future titles :).

Well, just to get facts straight, PS3 isn't unbreakable either =P. My first PS3 broke after 2 weeks of owning it, treated it perfect etc, just stopped reading discs. The older models have a 1% failure rate i hear, but the newer models break easier they say, due to the cost reduction in manufacturing. Don't get me wrong lol, i love ps3, just giving you both sides. Mine was replaced NP though, and since then this ones worked like a charm. I havn't even turned it off hardly.. Its been about 2 weeks since ive had new one lol. I've had it Folding@Home almost since ive gotten it when im not playing games no problems so far.

COD4 is a must get!
