so the two games i got ATM are COD4 and Genji. anyone recommend anything? i wish some good RPG's were out for it but i have to wait for FFXiii i guess. what about DMC or Drakes fortune? (sp?) maybe even burnout??? throw me a fricken bone here ;)

Ok, heres an update in the games I have, and if I recommend them to you.

COD4 - The greatest, BUY

NHL 08 - Fun, Rent

FIFA 08 - Fun and difficult, Rent

NBA 2K8 - Unless a diehard NBA fan, Dont Bother

Warhawk - Fun Multiplayer only game, Rent if you are into Online Gaming

Resistance Fall of Man - Haven't played too much and it seems difficult, going to have to dedicate a long session to this game, RENT

------------------------------
As for Blu-Rays go,

Mine came w/ Spiderman 3, Shitty Movie unless you are big into Spiderman its not worth owning on Blu-Ray

3:10 to Yuma - Awesome Movie, looks great in HD, definite BUY

i have COD4 ;) im xbarretx on PSN

Tiny....io tried to join the match but i got dc'd. ill catch you next time k?

to Cro and Tiny, ill play but im still noobish :) (i beat single player campaign tonight... loved it!)

Rep cro for the game and BR opinion help!

LOL he works for them for advertising and cannot say anything even if he does know.. Its alright, when I find out info I usually put it out there.. Getting rid of the PS2 support would help imo, but they sell a assload of PS2's right now and it is pure profit for the company compared to losing their ass off with PS3.. Maybe next year or later this year you will see them ramp down on production of the PS2's..

I want one soon. Not because I am a gamer, I want a BR player. My son getting to play games on it is just a bonus...

he works for BB? or Sony?

as for the ps2 part....thats my point... there selling like hotcakes...and ps3 i losing per console sold however... to make consoles profitable they need high rates of attachment (i.e. the avg user buys 5 games with the system) IMHO if they would stop the ps2, concentrate on the ps3 only...they can turn it profitable much faster. but maybe im crazy :doh!:

Drakes is the most popular story-based game that's new. It's friggen amazing graphics and AI. It's kind of a RPG and shooter combined.

sweet man, is it a long game (as in i wont beat it in one sitting?)?

PS3 rep for adding my to ya PSN and changing your avatar ;) !!!

May get the ps3 this weekend, any suggestions on what else i need for it? ps3 HDMI cable and remote?? I assume without the HDMI cable the games will look crappy on an hdtv? Does the HDMI cable effect the Blu Ray part or is that just for upconverting the games to hd.

if you have an HD tv id get a HDMI cable but... dont get an expensive one get one online for like 20 bucks at

as for the remote... thats your call. i use the controller b/c im use to it. you might need an extra controller if your ever up for some 2 player gaming or a keyboard if your up for the websurfing and messaging etc.... or a usb or bluetooth headset if your into chatting while gaming...IE COD4

does any HDMI cable work or do you need a specific PS3 one? My uncle has a few extra cables at his home that are 6-8 ft that i might take. yeah i may get a 2nd controller, ill likely be renting games at first, but im just excited to rent some BR movies too :)

as long as the connections are the male ones it will work. ps3 takes a regular HDMI and not anything special like old video game cables of the past. if your uncle has them they will work as long as 6 - 8 ft is enough for your tv ps3 set up (as in as long as its not across the room or something like that) then your good. i had an old mosnter hdmi that i couldnt return that i ended up using.

appreciate it...so is that recommended for the gaming basically, the cable? I assume it looks worse without the HDMI

if you have an HD tv (1080i 720p etc) hdmi would be a way to better utalize the technology available (your TV and ps3) as opposed to a component cables so yes :toast:

although not having one will NOT make a ps3 look like a ps1 ;) it jsut wont be using its full potential with your HD set.

I see...

Yeah the XBOX360 has component cables (is there better cables for that?)

My gf has a 1080p Aquos that i will be playing movies/watching it on...i personally do not have an HDTV myself but all my gaming/movie stuff is at her pad anyway.

Parents do have 3 hdtvs at their pad so im set there too hehe
