Hello

 

I've never posted in this section, but I'm planning on getting a Playstation 3 and wondered if those who already own the console had any advice for me?

 

What games/packages should I avoid? Where to get the best offers? What to look for etc etc. I haven't been an active gamer in a long time, but I've really wanted to start again recently, especially with the release of MGS 4 and GTA 4, and the Bourne Conspiracy just over the horizon.

 

Does anyone have ant advice for snagging a bargain? The best price I've found so far was the console and GTA 4 together for £309, at Dixons website.

The Dixons deal there sounds like a great one. I would go for that really.

 

Games wise, yeah like you said GTAIV, Metal Gear Solid 4, Burnout Paradise, Elder Scrolls : Oblivion among others. Probably buy a Playstation 3 magazine as thats normally good for reviews and recommendations.

Try to get a 60gig rather than a 40 (though good luck, words 'gold' and 'dust' spring to mind) as teh 60 are backwards compatible.

 

Otherwise make sure you have a HDMI (if you have a HD TV) and if you like lugh with friends then get the Singstar! I love it and I cant sing. :lol

Agree with DS about getting the 60gb version it is far superior to the 40gb version

 

Games i'd advising getting would be:

 

GTA 4, MGS 4, Turok, Heavenly Sword, Resistance Fall of Man and Assasin's Creed

Thanks for the advice...I'm not exactly rolling in money, though, lol! I'm a student after all. I'm gonna start out with GTA and MGS. If I can manage to track down a 60GB console, awesome. But I don't think they make them any more do they? I'd have to get it from ebay. And this is the TV I have:

It's not HD...but it'll do.

£350 not to much for a HD ready TV or £250 on a student budget 3 days of drinking ah?

 

It's a lot when I'll be paying £350 for the PS3 too, lol. And if you spend £250 on drink in 3 days you dink loads! lol.

 

I think I'll go with the Dixons one. When the hell are PS3 prices gonna drop??? :(

The 40GB isn't THAT bad compared to the 60GB.

 

I mean there's a rumour (and I stress rumour as I personally don't understand the logic) that the 40GB will have a firmware update by October 08 so it can have the backwards compatible.

 

I mean baring the extra hdd and a few extra usb ports it's not really all it's cracked up to be.

 

But yeah if you have the money I'd personally spend the little bit extra for the 60GB; I don't have the need for one as I just keep my slimline ps2 sitting beside.

 

Also..the 40gb DOES play PS1 games. So pretty much if you still have a PS2, just pop it beside the PS3 and it's no big deal.

If you have the time I expect you can get the PS3 to make toast for you too :lol

 

Ages ago there was a story of 16 PS3 systems getting linked together to make a cheap supercomputer to be used to sequence genetics and drugs etc for treatment of people :lol
