Info about the PS3?

Question

I'm thinking about buying the PS3 but I don't really know anything about it at all. I have a PS2. What is different about the PS3 other than better graphics? Also of the games that are already released what games are the best to get? If anyone can give me a detailed description of what it can do and what games are best I would really appreciate it.

Answer 1

i have a ps3 and am loving it, the graphics will blow your mind when you first see them, as they did to me......as for games....i got the 80 gig one so that gave me motor storm(which i am loving) but i also got resistance fall of man which is AMAZING, it is the number one selling game for ps3 and i think there is definately potential for it to become the halo of ps3(if it isnt already) the ps3 also has wireless controls that have absolutely no lag at all even standing far away from it! my ps3 is under my bed and i sit on top of my bed playing it without ANY problems!! so i was very impressed with that, as for what it can do, i think the better question is what cant it do.....you have insane graphics, free internet, the most complete gaming you can imagain.....the ps3 is SIC!! get it and i promise you wont be disappointed!!

Answer 2

if you like shooters then get rainbow six vegas, resistance fall of man, (call of duty 4, haze, and in spring 08: metal gear solid 4) the games in parenthesis are not out yet but will be soon.
this website has the best games out for ps3 in order by ranks
http://www.gamespot.com/games.html?type=top_rated&platform=1028&page_type=games&tag=subnav;top_games

- ps3 has a built-in blu-ray player

- ps3 has much more and better exclusives, most of them cant go to xbox 360 because it cant handle that many data(DVD- 8.5gb, blu-ray 50gb)

- online is free for ps3 not like 360

- ps3 will have over 300 games released by this spring

- when developers get used to the system, the graphics will be WAY better than 360. should take them a year to get used to it

- playstation home is coming out this spring, its a virtual community where you can hang out with friends and customize your own apartment which xbox doesnt have(FREE)

- ps3 is a true HD console. xbox 360 upscale games to 1080p and ps3 DISPLAY games up to 1080p

- built in Wi-Fi

- xbox 360: 33% hardware failure
ps3: .2% hardware failure(see the decimal? less than 1%!)

- rumble returns in spring 2008

- you can upgrade your harddrive without voiding warranties with any 2.5 HDD, which xbox cant because you have to buy a xbox HDD
(they actually have the step by step on how to upgrade it on playstation.com)

those are the ones that i know right off my mind but there are much more reason than this

Prices as of today:
ps3- 80gb: $599
60gb: $499
xbox 360(premium)- $399 (if you want the accessories that ps3 comes with, that would add up to over 700 dollars)

Answer 3

PS3 is 35 stronger than PS2, uses advanced 8 kernel CPU, uses regular 2.5" SATA HDD - you can easely expand it's memory. It has wi-fi (except 20GB and 40GB), web-browser, regular Ethernet connection. It has card reader (except 20GB and 40GB). It has Blu-ray drive - every disc can hold up to 54GB - great games, better than on 360 or PC.

What you can do - you can buy PS3 or not.

Best games, imho:

Resistance - The fall of man
Virtua fighter 5
Call of Duty 3

Answer 4

Well, i tried to compare them as best as i can.

The 60GB Playstation:


The good: Swanky design with quiet operation; all games in high-definition; PSP-like user-friendly interface; plays high-def Blu-ray movies in addition to standard DVDs; built-in Wi-Fi; 60GB hard drive; Bluetooth support for wireless controllers and accessories is coming; backwards-compatible with PS2 and PS1 titles; built-in memory card readers; online play is free; HDMI output with 1080p support; no external power supply

The bad: Pricey; first wave of games is somewhat anemic; doesn't upscale DVDs to HD resolution; no force feedback (rumble) support in controller; a USB port on the back would've been nice; no infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes aren't compatible; glossy black finish is a fingerprint magnet; HDMI cable not included.

The bottom line: Sony's PlayStation 3 may be the most expensive next-gen game console, and its launch titles are not all that impressive, but its swanky design and bevy of features, including a Blu-ray drive, make it hard to resist--even at $600.

The 30GB Playstation:

Everything is the same except for the memory and cell processor.

The Playstation 2:

Hardware seems a natural place to begin. After all, we’ve been trained by the computer industry that a faster system is a better system. Yet what’s inside of a game system matters less than you might think. For the most part titles that release on all three systems offer pretty much the same game experience across the board. Where hardware does make a difference is in terms of features such as the ability to play DVD movies, or connect to the Internet. With that in mind, the Xbox is the technically superior console in terms of processing power, followed by the GameCube, and then the Playstation 2, which is a year older than the others and showing its age. It’s more complicated than that, though; let’s talk about the hardware differences that will actually effect how you play.


Hard drive: In order to save your game progress, download extra game levels, and play certain games, you have to have enough available free memory. The GameCube and PS2 both use memory cards that are purchased separate from the system and used to save data to, much like a floppy disk. The Xbox uses an internal hard drive that is significantly larger than any available memory card. With a larger hard drive, the Xbox is capable of storing, and then playing, things like music and downloadable content (such as extra levels). The PS2 has a hard drive accessory you can purchase separately, but since it’s not integrated into the console there are very few games that utilize it, and the recent PS2 slim form factor isn’t compatible with the hard drive at all. The GameCube doesn’t offer any form of hard drive, integrated or separate, only a number of fairly large memory cards. With the Xbox, you will never have to buy additional memory; you will with either of the other systems.


Online Connections: Connecting to the Internet, depending on the system, means that you’ll be able to play with or against other people online, download new content for your games, and participate in the online gaming community. With a built in Ethernet port, the Xbox is the easiest system to link together or get online. The PS2 can be purchased with an Ethernet and modem adapter, or the slim form factor comes with the Ethernet integrated. Microsoft has put far more money than Sony or Nintendo into guaranteeing that their games have online support, and as a consequence there is currently no game network available that remotely compares to Xbox LIVE, which is an exclusive Xbox service that helps gamers connect with others online. When you play online with the Xbox, you’ll have guaranteed voice chat, a unified network that lets you communicate with your online friends regardless of what LIVE enabled game they’re playing, and downloadable content. Neither Sony nor Nintendo have anything that compares. Nintendo, for its part, approaches the concept of “connectivity” differently; they offer extremely limited online support in favor of being able to connect the GameCube to their portable units, such as the Gameboy Advance, in order to extend gameplay. Titles that support actual online play on the GameCube are extremely limited.


DVD Capability: It’s worth mentioning which systems are capable of playing DVDs. The PS2 ships with the ability to play DVDs straight out of the box. The Xbox has the capability if you purchase an extra DVD accessory, and the GameCube is too small to hold a DVD. Both the systems with the capability do the job about equally well, though the Xbox accessory comes with a remote.

In general, the GameCube doesn’t fair so well against either competitor in terms of hardware. While the Nintendo system is more powerful than the PS2 in terms of processing power, it falls behind on other key features. Even though the GameCube will consistently produce better looking games (and the difference is noticeable) than the PS2, there are other capabilities that the GameCube is simply lacking. What’s amazing is that I’d still, without hesitation, recommend purchasing the $100 GameCube over the more expensive Playstation 2. The reason has to do with games and creativity.
