I get my Ps3 Today

bobcat · 06-11-2008, 05:09 PM

I'm buying a Ps3 today as I love Metal Gear Solid games. I will be buying:-

MGS4
Singstar
2 Hori arcade joysticks

Is there anything else you would recommend to buy? Accessories/games? Does it come with the cable to plug it into HDMI?

Congrats! Welcome do the dark side.

Nope, you need to buy an HDMI cable seperate. Fortunately, ANY HDMI cable will work. It's just how much you want to pay for it that matters.

Just make sure your TV supports HDMI and you're good to go. As for audio, if you have a surround receiver, you can plug optical or the AV cables in. Just ask here if you encounter any problems when setting up.

I got the dualshock3, but I haven't really found it worth it. However, my opinion might change if MGS4 does it extremely well.

Uncharted is a game that I would buy if I had a PS3.

I bet that's quite an expensive purchase in Australia, but congratulations

That holiday bonus you received from your boss in December should cover most of it

@ birdy That's a game, this is a fucking console! And the best console at that!

Games define a console. I don't care if a console is the second coming of the Messiah if it's games are shit.

Well, the PS3 has a better lineup IMO but I have a 360 for Gears you know that. You hatin' on PS3 now? I didn't expect this from you especially on the eve of your biggest game boner of the year.

bobcat · 06-12-2008, 07:29 AM

i bought it, 1 year extended warranty, bought singstar, i forgot to buy my arcade joysticks

First impressions:-

The box looks like it's meant to be an egg carton for 2 huge eggs. Console looks nice, but very big. Instructions manual is ugly, controller feels suprisingly light.

I'm doing an update now, taking 4eva. I guess no MGS4 for 2nite, but eventually it will be played

Just playing both sides of the issue.

Don't forget Crackdown too.

If you liked the Indiana Jones movies (did anyone not?) you'll really enjoy Uncharted. If you like 2D shooters at all, you need to buy SuperStardust HD at the Playstation Store.

I know, and I didn't forget about Crackdown. It is an amazing game and tears apart GTA4 in nearly every way but I don't have a 360 for Crackdown.

The PS3 library has had far more solid games that interest me more than the 360 so far. Not to say that the 360 doesn't have great games but most of its exclusives aren't my thing it seems.
