What should I ask when buying my PS3?

Question

Ok, im buying a PlayStation3 tomorrow and there is NO POSSIBLE WAY I am walking away from that store without it so don't tell me not to buy it. I just want to know which kind I should buy I am leaning towards a 80GB I am just looking for a list of questions I might need to know about it thanks.

Answer 1

I'm not really sure what you mean by questions but heres some need to know things.

If you have a MD tv get a CHEAP HDMI cord. DO NOT spend over 15$. I got mine for 2$ on Amazon.

It comes with Ethernet cable, but if you have a wireless router, it can run on that too.

Internet is free.

The 80gb is  the last ps3 that will play ps2 games. The 40gb dosent. If you are not intrested in ps2 games, wait until mid september. A new 80gb ps3 is coming out. It has 2 less usbs, and no memory stick ports. and no ps2 games. But its 100$ less then the 80gb now. Personally, i think the 80gb now is much better deal. It has 4 USBs, ps2 games work on it, and it comes with a 60$ game (mgs4) and a 10$ game download.

Must buy games: Warhawk (online only) Resistance, Burnout Paradise, Assasains Creed. Mgs4 is included in the 80gb bundle.

Good luck, and good gaming. When and if you make a psn id (for online gaming add me (trippplethreat33) to your buddies

Answer 2

dose it work

do you play ps2 games? yes ask if it has B/C?

do you have a hdtv? yes than ask about a hdmi cable

Answer 3

Consider the 80GB Metal Gear Solid Bundle that is out now for $499. It includes newer technology (over other PS3) for upcoming systems(less overheating) and 4 usb, the upcoming won't, Metal Gear Solid Game - play it then trade it, newest dualshock 3 rumble controller, 60-70% backwards compatibility, and wifi. (Sony will later release an update for PS3's that will allow for improved backwards compatability.)  If you have a 1080p HDTV, you will want an appropriate cable.  I was duped into buying the more expensive monster cable, only to later read on CNET that the cheaper cables did just as well.  You might look there.  This is all you need to know BUT

if you must ask questions ...

How has Sony improved these since launch,

how is this one different,

what has been done to improve the overheating,

how does this compare to blu-ray player,

how does this memory compare,

is there a difference in game graphics (are games on blu-ray) (no)

etc.

Good Luck! and Enjoy.
