hi guys im from brazil and ill be in the us from may 31 to june 12. i really wanted to buy the mgs4 bundle and i was thinking that an online purchase with store pickup would be the best option, since they have a best buy store close to my hotel in washington dc. hopefully they will have the bundle to buy online on june 11. if they don't start the preorder until i leave brazil, i was thinking about buying a 40gb playstation and a dualshock 3 controller. I already bought the games i wanted (rock band is one of them) and shipped them to my aunt's house in NYC. since the 40gb playstation only has 2 usb ports, ill have to buy an usb hub to play rock band right? which usb hub should I buy? can i buy a pc usb hub? how many usb ports does the ps3 support?

thanks for the help and sorry for the bad english (i lived for just 1 year in the us)

edit: oh one more thing... does the rock band wireless guitar have that dongle?

i saw a 7 port usb hub and it probably will work for ps3 cuz its a phukken usb hub just like any other...and the 1 i saw was exactly the same as one that has just 4 ports but with just 3 more...so why wouldnt it? and it would be good to have as many usb ports on ur ps3 as u can...why not? unless ur a phag that uses it for just playing lil kid gamez then u aint nuttin...use it with everypossible feature to the limit and ull have more than a ps3 altogether...and it works on a ps3 with 4 usb slots originally so if u get a 7 port usb hub and use it then ull have like 10 or 11 and that way u could connect so much all at once so its ready to use just like that and u wont have to worry about needing space or replacing one another cuz ull have leftover slots still...think about it

u can have:

1. wireless usb keyboard

2. wireless usb mouse

3. usb printer (good to have even if u wont use it much cuz thats how u maximize ur ps3 to the best and u wont need to worry about runnin outta slots)

4. usb (wireless) webcam

5. blutooth headset

6. 16gb or higher usb flash drive (if wanted, u could maybe even keep it plugged in alwayz and keep large game data utility files in there if u wish..if possible)

7. u can always have a empty slot for the usb controller charging wire if u use it, connecting to camera to obtain pictures, etc.! usb portable harddrive storage ..no worries right?

8. BLANK

9. BLANK

10. AND BLANK

who knows man ull still have extra ones why wouldnt u want to do that? u wont have to even worry about switching shyt..its perfect especially with HDMI 1080p 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound, would be awesome if its on a 106" projector screen also...and the biggest possible HDD u can put in the ps3... and YDL

and i dont even know if i listed every single feature man, thats just all i could think of at this time..but if u could...why the phuk not? better than some gay "gaming" console with a small hdd that u use to only play LIL KID gamez...its dope aint it?
