So I bought a PS3 tonight finally.

I know why I bought it, GTA IV. I sort of obsess over that game and have bought 3 consoles just to play that one game. I bought a PS2  for GTA 3, and again for San Andreas (After the slim model came out). Some people might ask why I didn''t get a 360 because of the DLC. Well I sincerely hate Microsoft as a console maker and I like Blu-ray.

 I seriously doubt that I'll buy any other game for the PS3 unless it has Grand, Theft and Auto in the title but it was the same way with the PS2. I think I bought Deus ex, and GT4. Other than that I borrowed some games. Fortunately I my wife and I are avid movie buffs and we'll at least I have it to play blu-ray on.

Congratulations.

Off topic:
Have you considered getting Warhawk? I organize the official VGC league (info in Sony forum's Sticky). Because I find similarities in the games you might like such as the ability to get into any vehicle you see lying around (jeeps, tanks (think of them as Rhinos) and planes), hit people with wrenches, run around and shoot in a 3rd person perspective.

Anyways, it might be something to consider if you want to get into online gaming. I think they are running a sale on it in the PSN store.

Try out some of the PSN titles if you don't think you will buy any other games.  Some of them are amazingly fun, and a lot of them have demos. You can also download demos for any of the other disc-based games that are coming out even if you never plan on buying them. Good way to waste some time.

If you have a lot of media on your computer, totally take advantage of the PS3's media abilities. You can save stuff on there from an external HDD through USB or by copying off of a DVD/CD. You can also stream stuff from your PC to PS3 through Windows Media Player.  I use this function as much as I use the Blu-Ray player!



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

@akuma587 I didn't know you could do that with the PS3 actually, this will go great with my shiny new laptop and vista premium. Do you connect it through an ethernet cable or USB to USB?

akuma587, you just gave me one more reason to want a PS3!

It's all done via a LAN.  Just get a wireless router and hook everything up to it.
