I just bought a nice 52" HDTV, and now want a Blu Ray and DVD player. I figurued I might as well get the PS3. I mean, why not? I can play games that really entice me while benefiting from the BR and DVD player.
My questions are;
1. Do I really need the 80GB vers? What do you possibly store on the PS3?
2. Can I sit the PS3 on its side? Every pic I see the PS3 is upright. Wont fit my entertainment system as I hoped if I have to stand it up.

Honestly, mine has collected dust since I got it. I played the hell out of it when MGS came out... Not it's kinda just sitting there playing an occasional Blu-ray whenever I get a new one.
-
Lately, I think the Wii has had more playing time thean my PS3 (sad because I hate that damn thing)
-
well... When MGS came out, i played the thing non-stop till i beat it. But since then it's been Stargate, Terminator 2, No Country for Old Men, and Predator.

In order to find a PS3 with less than 80gb you are going to have to go to Ebay. But the 80gb regular edition is now 399.99 so you might as well get that version.

Do you want backwards compatiblity? Then you want the 80GB version with MGS4. If not, then grab anything else really.
I have all 3, and play in order PS3, 360 and Wii. Although that may be misleading because I haven't turned on the Wii in months.Tone_E likes this. -

it's a damn good BR player... My main complaint is that I hate using a gamepad to control movies. Since it's all Blue-tooth, you can't use your universal remote. I have a pretty pimp universal remote that control EVERYTHING (including the 360) except the damn PS3. *sigh*

I actually use one of these right now because it makes everything on the PS3 (besides games) easier....

Just use the dongle (it is in the logitech registry for my remote), and throw the crappy remote away. Like I said, it can't turn on the ps3, but if you have to put a movie in, it really doesn't matter. -
You really cannot go wrong with the system at this point.Tone_E likes this. -
Get yourself a good HDMI cable you'll see a difference.
It does a great job upconverting regualar DVDs as well.

Best prices on cables on the internet. I'm actually kinda upset that you bought the PS3 branded HDMI cables. -

yeah man, there has to be something wrong with that cable. We have the PS3 going into a 42" 1080p TV using a $6 HDMI cable. It looks phenomenal.

Glad you brought up 1080p. Does it really matter man? I mean, I've been doing some reading, and Madden and NHL 09 are only available in 720p.
X Box upscales, but from what I've read, PS3 doesnt. I've also read the native 720p is better than the X Box's upschaled 1080i.
I'm soooooo confused....
PS. Why the hell would EA release something in 720p and advertise "HD Gaming" in their load ups?? I hate EA, and love em at the same time. -
It's not that the PS3 can't do 1080p, it's that developers lately aren't taking advantage of it. We don't know if it's due to difficulty or laziness (that subject is up in the air - depending on who you talk to). As far as movies are concerned, I only watch Blu-rays on the PS3. Not sure what it does or handles DVDs.
The 360 handles DVDs very well. And it handles AVI's amazingly (which is what I mostly watch).Tone_E likes this. -
As far as games, I never did a side-by-side before. Besides all of my 360 games being donations from Microsoft for me being a member of the press, on average (this is a complete guesstimation) 9 of 10 cross platform games are reviewed better on the 360. Again, never actually compared myself... And that doesn't actually mean they look better either...
This is alot of brain work.Tone_E likes this. -

I just bought a PS3.
I was looking for a blu-ray player... but I thought what the heck I can't wait to see what my little girl's imagination can do with Little Big Planet.
But for me I'll be sticking with my 360 downstairs. -
IMO, the PS3 looks much better than my 360. But that's because I was a loyal consumer and bought an original Xbox360. The kind that don't have HDMI connectivity. Microsoft rewarded my loyalty by making a completely new one that does have HDMI and expecting me to shell out another 3 - 400 for that. Microsoft can kiss my ***.
