I have never had a Play Station game console. Should i get a ps3 with 60gb or 40gb would be enough ?

Question

Since my xbox360 keeps dieing every second month( 2 night agos, it died for the third tome in the last 6 months ), so i am thinking to get a ps3.

well, i have never had a play station gaming console. Do you think there is going to be any Good Shooter game made for ps2 that i want to play on ps3 ? if yes, so i have to go for ps3 with 60 gb ( due to backwards compability ) , if not, so 40gb should be my choice.

Please consider that i am a FPS gamer only and i have played most the new FPS games on my xbox360 so far.
( for example, i presume i would love the game Uncharted, but sadly its not available for xbox360 and only for ps3 ).

So again, my concern is: if there is any GOOD Shooter game for ps2 that a gamer like me would still like to play it on ps3 ? if there is, i would appreciate some names, so that i can check them out.

Many thanks

Answer 1

Some good Shooter games for the PS2 that I highly recommend are: Black and Killzone.

For the PS3 there is only one exclusive shooter, Resistance Fall of Man (an awesome shooter game with a very good campaign mode).

In January a PS3 exclusive shooter called Haze is coming out and some people even compare that game to Halo in terms of multiplayer.

And of course early next year probably the most anticipated Shooter for the PS3 is Killzone 2. And that game is just going to be awesome, I know that the graphics in Killzone 2 will surely blow anyone away.

Oh yea, Uncharted is a awesome game as well. I have it and it's a pretty challenging game especially on the Harder difficulty modes. But Uncharted has stunning graphics and great gameplay as well.

I really do think that you should get the 60GB PS3 though. I've had the 60GB PS3 for almost a year and I've had no problems with it. Also it would give you a good chance to catch up on many of the past PS1/PS2 games.

Answer 2

Get the 60 GB, it has full backwards support with all PS2 games, 4 USB controller slots, a memory card adaptor slot, etc. Basically, It's loaded. It has all the features rounded up into one system. The 40 GB PS3 can play only about 80% of PS2 games, and has a lot less features than the 60 GB PS3.

Answer 3

This question is an often one, so that's my cut & paste answer:
1). 20GB has no chrome trim, no memory card reader and no wi-fi. Not manufactured anymore. Has the best backwards compatibility with PS2 games due to Emotion Engine (PS2's CPU) and Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU) installed.
2). NTSC 60GB has the same backwards compatibility as 20GB version, also has memory card reader and wi-fi. Has a chrome trim.
3). 80GB - extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games, it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played. Available only in NTSC regions.
4). 40GB - can't play PS2 games at all (all PS2 chips were removed), has 2 USBs instead of 4, no memory card reader, has wi-fi. Avalable in black and white colors. White is on sale only in Japan. Uses 65nm technology (lower power consumption). Improved cooling system. It's the latest version. 40GB doesn't support SACD.
5). PAL 60GB - reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games. it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played.
Wi-fi included in all models, except 20GB.

Answer 4

i personally would go for a 60gb my brother has one but dosnt rate the ps3 he prefers his xbox 360 but i have to agree with him i love the xbox 360 even though they can easily pack up on you,i know of 3 other people who have the ps3 who have all resorted back to the xbox 360, dont get me wrong they are ok and i wouldnt say no to one for xmas but from hear say i wouldnt pay for one!!

Answer 5

i doubt that the 40gb would be as good as the 60gb...faster loading times,more space,etc.well i psnaly like the ps3 better than the 360.
