Hi all,

Long time no post.....just been busy, i posted on here a while back asking about the ps3 blah blah blah, well i have got one, well its on order and should arrive on the 27th of this month, i have got resistance fall of man and cod4 and an extra control pad, what i need to ask is does the ps3 come with a hdmi cable or will i have to purchase this seperate?

How easy is it to get online? is it as easy as the wii and xbox? (which i currently own)

I have also heard that the blu ray is not as simple as its all made out to be, is this true?

i am sure a lot of what is said is said by rival companies and fanboys, it dont bother me too much as I said i have now got all 3 consoles, cant wait to compare to see who is really right lol kiddin
i will post again once the ps3 is here to let you all know what i think

Hi and welcome back,

1. Plug in and play. Just make an account and online you go.

2. Blueray is as simple as playing a DVD in a normal DVD player, Its as simple as putting a Game into the PS3.

Get GTA4 and GT5 Prolouge and enjoy your sexy new black machine

ah cheers guys

Just heard that with blu ray there were so many updates and all that messing around, obviously someone is tellin lies! So its easy to get online, plug and play sounds simple enough, and it does not come with the hdmi lead, no problem i think i will be able to pick one of them up quite easily.

So you recommend GTA 4 and GT5 prologue, was considering getting GTA for the 360 but i will hang on and get it for the ps3 i already have a massive catalogue of games for the 360 so looking for some more exclusives for the ps3 that wont be on other consoles, such as GOW on the xbox.

Not researched into future releases as obviously the console is not in my hands yet, but are there any games i should really be getting exited about due for release this year? i know RE5 is due out soon, cant wait for that one.

i love games like COD, GOW, GRAW, condemned, not really into my racing games but will give anything a chance, my favourite games at the moment are cod4 and mariokart wii, i am so looking forward to trying out blu ray and seeing how good it is, i own a HD DVD player but as they are being discontinued it may as well be thrown away!

I see blu ray discs are still retailing at around £17-£20 which i think is a little expensive but at the same time new technology always is so i can deal with it, anyway i am going to stop rambling now as u are all prob bored, counting down the days, i am 28 and feel like a kid at christmas

alot of people will disagree with me but you really should get GTAIV on xbox since it's getting exclusive dlc, 1 month of free Live and 500 ms points.
