What should i know about PS3s before i buy one?

Question

since the PS3 came out i wanted to wait before i buy it because i did not want anything bad to happen. later i heard a few technical problems like the red blinking light. i heard that you can't use it on any regular tv. only on an HDTV and whats the difference between 20gig, 40gig, 60gig, and 80gig?

Answer 1

1. the ps3 pwns

2. has blu ray

3. you want to get an hdmi cable so you can max out ur graphics to 1080 pixels

u can get a cheap one at walmart

and there is no CRAPPY RED RING OF DEATHS LIKE **** 360's

and all i know about the gigs' is that 40 gig can play ps2 games

i know 80 gig does, ( i haves one)

k, give me 10 points plz

Answer 2

the PS3 only comes in 40 and 80 gig now. the 40 is not backwards compatible , but some 80's are  ( the newest ones are just 40 gig with twice the memory )

look for the metal gear solid bundle as they are backwards compatible. come with a dual shock controller ( not a regular one ) a game and a coupon for a free game download.

I used mine on a regular tv  for  8 months and it worked fine.

If you do find a 60 gig buy it. as they also have more usb ports, and memory card slots.  

Answer 3

well, you most likely wont have any problems with the ps3. You can play it on on regular tv, it just looks better in high def. um just the more gigs the more space. so i prob shouldnt get the 20 gig if u goin to have psn(online gaming) because you'll prolly run out of space.
