1) Does the ps3's browser support flash that will let you run youtube and basically anything a normal computer browser will let you run?

2) Does this seem like a good deal?

3) Are walmarts packages for ps3 good. This is the one I would want to buy. After I did the math for the package, it didnt come out to be where I save money. Also is there a better place to buy a ps3 to get a better deal?

4) Are ps3 coolers worth buying?

If I have any other question I will ask them. Thanks

1. Some sites support the flash but a lot of them dont

2. That is a very good deal considering i bought my ps3 at launch for 599 and no games

3. Like someone said ebay got some good deals, but walmart is always the safer bet

4. i thought about buying it cause my ps3 tends to get a little hot sometimes, but so far a year and half with my ps3 and its still running very good

So all of you would say walmart has the best deal for a new one? Idk about ebay. If I would get somthing used, I would be sure to meet the person and see the ps3 in action; not just order one and hope for the best.

dude that deal is amazing...i also bought mines on craigslist, last week (60gb with Genji Days of the Blade and Oblivion) plus 2 blue ray movies (Wild Hogs and Pirates of the Carribean:at Worlds End) for 400$, and i thought my deal was great! lol. it does support youtube, but some flash content i believe it doesnt, although im not 100% sure. and a ps3 doesnt really need an intercooler, although i guess it couldnt hurt to have one lol. just makes sure you get one..itll be worth it, BIG time.

1. Youtube works, but I don't know about any other ones. 2. Excellent deal. 3. It looks pretty good to me. 4. No, the PS3 doesn't seem to ever overheat.

20, 60 and 80 are all backwards compatible. 20 and 60 have the hardware, 80 has software. 40 is the only one that isn't b/c.

1) Does the ps3's browser support flash that will let you run youtube and basically anything a normal computer browser will let you run?

It does run youtube but as for everything else the browser runs well but not as good as a normal PC. Im not sure on flash tho

2) Does this seem like a good deal?

Thats a really good deal, just be sure the PS3 is working and try to see if you get get a reciept

3) Are walmarts packages for ps3 good. This is the one I would want to buy. After I did the math for the package, it didnt come out to be where I save money. Also is there a better place to buy a ps3 to get a better deal?

Um well as of right now all stores have pretty much the same deals. thats a decent deal but not that great. I remember back the day after thanksgiving sale Walmart had a sale for 10 blu ray movies with a 80gb ps3 for 500 bucks. It was amazing and i regret not getting it. But oh well. If you were to buy it from a store thats probablly one of the better deals you could get as of right now.

4) Are ps3 coolers worth buying?

They really arnt, they are nothing like the 360 and their overheating issues. But if you want to be on the safe side and make you Ps3 a little noisier get a cooler. I ran mine without a cooler for many many hours and had no problems.

IDK thats deal is ok but its probably only there so they can get rid of the Six-axis controllers(since they are discontinueing them and only making DS3 controller). MGS4 bundle beats that by miles.

Edit: And why is it that both COD 4 and COD 3 cost the same to add on. Both $6 more on the price, doesn't really make sense to me.
