Alright I did it. Pulled the trigger on a ps3 40gb yesterday. Also got a gamefly trial started so i can get something other than what came with it. First game in the que is MGS4, i mind just end up keeping it if it's as good as it sounds. though it won't be out until the end of august i put Vampire Rain (http://www.gamefly.com/products/detail.asp?pid=130920&t=0) in at #2. Any game recommendations?

Think i might try and install linux on it later, but for now it's just pure sleek ps3.

Thanks for advice guys!

 

 Get Uncharted (look at my sig)

Come on man get a PC. The games on PC are better and you can do more with it and really a Next Gen console other than a Wii is like playing dumbed down versions of computer games with worse resolution and worse controls. Their "HD" is the PC HD of the 1990s.

PC is the best choice. For $500 you can build a PC that puts PS3 and Xbox 360 to shame.

PC also has the best games, best versions of multiplats, most amount of games, versatility and non-gaming use. The games are much cheaper too.

Well then he made a mistake, hopefully he'll get a new PC sometime soon.

You should definitely take advantage of the PS3's media server abilities (which it can do better than a PC in most cases since you don't have to lug the tower over to your TV, plus you are already connected to the TV).

If you have an external HDD or a flash drive, just copy any videos, music, or photos you want on your PS3 by clicking triangle on the drive and hitting display all. This is one of the nicest features the PS3 has, because unlike the 360 you can copy them directly to the PS3 HDD.

I hate watching stuff I download on a tiny ass PC screen, so I use this feature ALL the time.



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

SSSSHHHHIIIIOOOO!!!, I was waiting for you to get into this thread. I'm adding you to my, "There is ONLY PC, I am the ultimate PC FanBoy" friends list because your passion is exhilarating.

I would get a PC. With StarCraft 2, Left for Dead, WOTLK, and Diablo 3 (perhaps next year) its gunna be sweet!!! I, however, already have a 360 & Wii, and a new XPS Laptop, so an upgraded PC is a no-brainer, for me. But if you are big on Blu-Ray the PS3 is cheaper, and has some great games. A Blu-Ray drive for your PC is about as much as the PS3.
