I have an older PS2, the thicker one not one of the skinny ones, so it is between 3 and 4 years old. I want to buy a new PS3 80GB, that plays PS2 games, for the better graphics and enhanced game play and all the other media rich goodies in the PS3. Does anybody have any idea what I could get for my old PS2.

It's condition is about 8.5 out of 10, I would say... still works!

I need an easy way to install windows on my PS3 without installing Linux or Unix... preferably something like PspWxp.

I've heard rumors of many downs and ups to the ps3, mostly from 360 and ps3 owning friends, and I wanted to clarify everything with a bias.

1. Games are only playable by the first consul they are played in. Meaning if I bought a game, played it, then gave it to a friend to barrow, he couldn't play it.

2. Free online gamine?! I knew it was true when ps3 first came out, but is it still avalible?

3. Blu Ray quality is relitively terrible. I really would like this to be top priority, because we're buying the system as a br alternitive.

Anything else you find as an important pro/con along the lines of the above ones would be apreciated.

When answering, please put what type of recent consul you have, if any of the 3 (ps3, 360, wii)

Thanks for your time.

All I know is you play as some soldier dude with a beard and do covert ops stuff. I've seen the trailer for the 4th game and there is a dude that stabs himself to kill some other guy and I'm like what the hell is going on? And theres some robot thing jumpin around like a fruit cake for no reason. Very confusing. I'm a Halo guy.

I've done all the tasks, discovered every area, and won every trophy. When i press start and go to game information, it tells me that everything is done, yet that the game is only 99% completed.

I think the problem might be that I only just got to the second highest spell level. I assume i have to get to the last spell level to finish, but how? I thought of dueling, but i can't find anyone who will duel. How else would i improve that?

Any ideas?

i went to gamecrazy last night to trade in my old ps3 games for warhawk but the guy was like, you need to be with a parent or guardian if you are under the age of 18 "according to NYS law". i'm 16 but ive always rode my bike up there other times with my friends and bought games there without my parents with no problem. he was giving me an attitude because i asked him since when that happened and that ive bought games by myself and he was saying "theres a camera, im not going to lose my job over a couple of games". i was about to rip his head off. this guy didnt even know what he was talking about by saying blu-ray is sensitive so i should buy the warranty for the game and tried to sell a usb charge cable to my friend along with a bluetooh headset that already comes with a USB cable. so the question is- is there really a NYS law that states a person that is under age of 18 needs to have a parent in order to buy a game?

Hi guys,

I saw somewhere on the internet that they have released a slimmed version of the PS3 like they did for the PS2. I think its only out in Japan though. I wanted to know if this is true, how long will it take SONY to bring the slimmed down version into the US market? Also, does the PS3 have Wireless controllers, if so how much does and extra one cost or does the game system come with two?

Thanks alot!

I've been playing Madden 2008 for the Wii. My Quarterback constantly throws quick-passes on almost every play. I can't figure out why he's quick passing when it doesn't seem that I'm pressing any obvious buttons. Can anyone shed light on this?

I'm buying these two products for myself for the holidays and am wondering how much they are at Best Buy. I know that the nintendo wii is $249.00, but I couldn't tell how much guitar hero 3 is. (for the wii) Also, do I need to buy anything else besides the wii [and the game-guitar hero 3]? I'm asking if I need to buy the controller/guitar(s) separately or do they come with the wii/game?
Thanks!

Is the orange box for the ps3 worth a "buy" or a "rent". Does it have replay value other than team fortress 2? What are it's pros and cons? I'm thinking about buying it for christmas. Should I? thanks.
