ps3 question is it good and a lot more?

Question

first of all does the ps3 break or overheat or any other thing easy. another question is is it worth the money and are the graphics good. Can you play music on it from the memory card while playing games (importan). Does it come with a device that allows you to transfer memory cards contents to the ps3 internal memory. How many or what games are tilt controled. Is there a way to get moto storm with the ps3 like a demo or something because i know that one is tilt controlable. does it come with an online cable and start up disk. will it last for a long time. in your opinion does it suck only answer this if you have played it and any other system. are the graphics as good a they say they are. how long does the controller stay charged. Is the online gameplay not including talking better than the xbox 360's and also can you get a live type thing so you can talk to other people on it. are the graphics still good on it even without an hd t.v.

Answer 1

First of all I'm sure some of them break, no where near the level of the 360. The 360's failure rate is over 30%, and the PS3's failure rate just about 1% (just under). Is it worth it? That's entirely up to you, to me it was worth the launch price, which is when I bought mine. The graphics are great. As far as playing music from a memory card right now, that is not an option, although firmware updates are supposedly on the way to make this happen. If you get the 60GB or 80GB versions they have card readers built in that will allow you to transfer files from the cards to the hard drive.
Several of the games allow the use of the sixaxis, in most of the game it's also something that you can disable. Lair is the only game at this point that only uses sixaxis controls. The PSN (online store) has the demo available for free download for MotorStorm. It does come with an ethernet cable, although it also has wi-fi built-in. No start up disc is needed, it's all in the OS.
Online play on the PS3 is about as it is on the 360. Keep in mind too that the PS3 is bluetooth, so you can use any bluetooth headset with it when playing online to talk with others. The online store is not as robust as is the 360, but then again, it's free whereas the 360 you have to pay $50 each and every year. You don't need anything extra to pay for or anything like that to play games online, if you have a broadband connection in your home and your PS3 is connected, you can play online, download demos, trailers, add-ons (these cost, usually), including talking with teammates or other players depending on the game.
One of the best online games I've played on the PS3 thus far is Warhawk. Great game, good graphics and great gameplay. Keep in mind this game is online only.

When you first connect your PS3 to the network, you'll need to download some updates, it'll download the newest firmware revision, which added some features. This is how the system gets updated, and new features get added.

Answer 2

i have nothing to add. all i know is the 60gb ps3 was definitly worth it. especially with games that have amazing graphics and hardware to run it. If you love games, and dont mind missing out on halo, get a ps3. also playing people online is free on a ps3 which will cover the cost difference of the systems very quickly

Answer 3

This is my cut and paste answer. The reason for that is because a tech info is a tech info, you can't beat it.

PS3 will win the console war, no doubt. Xbox 360 and Wii are so weak from technological point of view, that in couple of years they won't be capable of dealing with serious graphics. GTA IV, for instance, isn't even announced for Wii - this toy won't be able to cope with the game's requirements. Xbox 360 is getting GTA IV, however, the game is going to be released on several DVDs - Xbox 360 owners will have to interrupt gaming process and switch discs (Rockstar complained about this issue). Only PS3 will have it on single BD-DVD.

Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:

A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%.

PS3 has 8 (7+1) kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3.
PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual layer DVD-9 (8.5GB). It's possible to get HD-DVD (max. - 30GB) for 360, but it'll cost you around 180$, in this case Xbox is going to be MUCH more expensive, than PS3.
Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in 4 slots card reader (except 20GB and 40GB versions), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $

Graphics are stronger in PS3, due to RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. To estimate its power (roughly) - take 6800 Ultra nvidia graphics card, multiply it by 2 - get a result, still PS3 stronger, because 6800 Ultra runs on 400 Mhz and RSX runs on 550 Mhz.

PS3 uses technology from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the game same thing GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This thing is on sale for PC(special card). The price is around 350$. There is no such thing in 360.

Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 8 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it. That's why in some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".

Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.

In 2008 PS3 will get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4, The Agent and other great exclusives. Here is the good link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html......

PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.

There were reports, that 360 scratches discs. No reports on that in PS3.

The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console. Biggest games weigh only 25 GB (Xbox 360 will need more than 3 discs even for those).

On PS3 you can install other OS, such as Linux Yellow Dog, Ubuntu and others. Sony officially lets you do it. There is no such thing in 360.

PS3 HDD can be replaced easily with any 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used in laptops). 250 GB will cost you around 170$. In 360 you have to buy exclusive HDD, where 20GB will cost you 100$.

Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduces price now. Soon there is going to be cheaper 40GB version of PS3.

Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) - you get new functions and improvements.

PS3 controller (sixaxis) has a motion control - you move controller - game responds. Wii has it, Xbox 360 - doesn't. PS3 controller is getting vibrocontroller soon (Dualshock 3).

On PS3 you can help sick people by running Folding Home project. Wii and Xbox 360 didn't even think about it.

New 40GB is coming with a lower prive between around 400$ and 400 euros (depends on the region).

I didn't mention Wii, because it's so weak, no point to talk about it. Leave it for kindergarten and casual games.
