Hey guys, Boxing day brings great gifts for our family this season. My parents bought a new 52" HD TV and I convinced them to buy a PS3 to go with it. The first blu ray I bought was without question "PLANET EARTH" and oh my dear god!! it was a sight to behold. Insanity. SOoooo cool. I also bought the first console game for the first gaming console we owned in my life... "Grand theft auto 4". lol! Its soo wicked. fun game. Now...the question here is.....do any of you guys own this game on ps3? Do u play multiplayer? you guys wanna hook up for online play on the console? lol! cheers, V

Hi Vraev,
Im into Rockband and starting End War as we speak. Haven't tried GTA yet, look up End War by Tom Clancy and maybe we could rule the world online hehe.

hmm.....end war looks like an interesting game. I'll surely check it out. Is there a gamertag or something for PS network users? We can surely make the friend's list. I am more into the whole action adventure genre mostly. I am planning on getting a used copy of fifa 09 soon....looks terrific on the consoles. DO keep me posted if you grab GTA4. Its a fantastic game.

man! I soo want the xbox. I would have got it. But the only reason my parents also agreed with the whole console deal is the "BLU RAY". That was my only argument to warrant a playstation 3. Personally I prefer the 360 game library with my favourite being GEARS OF WAR series.

haha you've taken your fist step into a larger world (to quote Obi Wan ) I won't get a PS3 for a LOOONG time, but I'm glad you're enjoying yours, the GTA series is just insane, so you made a FINE choice on that

yeah man! I am a total gaming nerd. lol! It is an obsession hang over that has been with me before CPs. I watch stuff on gametrailers.com in my spare time. lol! ANyways.... I wanted to get GTA 4 for PC. Just before I preordered it...I checked and my fears came true..that damn game requires a behemoth in PC requirements. Good thing too...........now I can play it at full resolution in 1080p on a 52 inch TV.

Yay for HDTVs! I've got a 40" 1080P (well, actually it's my roommate's but we... will just pretend it's sort of mine!), and a ps3 (It's also his but shh...). So yeah... but I don't play a lot cause I never have time hahaha. But congratulations on getting a PS3! If you ever get Little Big Planet (somehow I think it's doubtful? You don't seem like the type) THEN I will play with you. But I'm not really into shooters... I'm excited that BioShock came out on the PS3 thouuuugh. My username is bumble_boo.

lol! The PS3 will be the least used electronic entertainment device ever bought for me. lol! It will be at home and I will be in my apartment and I hardly ever visit home...so basically yeah...I can safely say I dont even use it. But now I am playing GTA 4 getting impressed by all the little details.

I bought my Xbox from the first batch witch was supposibly broken But iv used mine for 2 years now forsure and all the wires are wratched on the back but still plays with no prob. And the PS3 was just purchased from a buddy who wanted a xbox instead becasue of the wider game selection, i gave him 250 on boxing day and the deal was dun, came with 2 guitars and burnout : Paradise city. pretty good scoop considering it was a month old. its only a 60G though. i ALSO just bought a 40" 1080P 120hertz Motion flow sony Which is supposible the new things these days as it has 2X the frame rate as the older 1080P 60hertz , which allows for smooooth panning when gaming and just breathtaking visuals. must say it did kill my pocket book im only just getting into ps3 i find it hard to get any games for this system, unless you plan on buying them its rediculous. so i dunno much bout this sytem or its games, i can say that i dont notice No difrence from Bluray and normal DVD when played from eather systems, honestly they both look the same, which is pretty unbelieveable. and for gaming, im hookedup for racing games, iv DIY a table together to attach the racing wheel to so that it can be slidded above you for a real car feeling, and holds the peddle in position. The racing wheel has serious feedback, enough to lift a table top if not attached which is the real kicker, this puts the arcade in the living room when your fighting the fishtail around a vicious turn. I really dont understand the point of lil big planet?? they dont get much of a run through on the commercials. other favorite's are say the scary games, F.E.A.R. 1 and 2, Condemed 1 and 2, although playing these games alone are hard the scare factor makes it more enjoyable. how much does live cost for the PS3?? and is it the same ethernet cord as the 360??

Aww, isn't the 60GB the one that can't play PS2 games or something? And nice! I don't know how many hertz my roommate's TV is... I know the picture is good enough for me though Wow, you don't notice a difference from DVD to BluRay? I notice a huge difference, the image is much more detailed and crisp. And yeah, I don't really know a lot of games to get for the PS3... I really don't have as much time for gaming as I used to (nor the money for it!). Live for the PS3 is free, there's no monthly charge. (You just have to buy the ridiculously priced system!) And Little Big Planet... basically there's a main story mode, and you just collect stuff. It's a platformer, and then you can create your own levels and put them online. It's pretty customizable. It sounds pretty STUPID, when I heard of it I was like What the ****? But yeah. It's pretty FUN. I'm addicted to it anyway. And ahh for scary games, I'm into Silent Hill. Though the new one was not my cup of tea. I liked Silent HIll 2 the best! It's such a great game. The new one seems to have lost of the "feel" and "presentation" of the old Silent Hill games, since it's made by American peoples now. Oh well, maybe they'll get it down and make it their own!

Mine is the standard 80GB model that got released recently...it cannot play PS2 games. Also...I played fear 1 on PC and liked it...Fear 2 isn't released yet though . I am looking forward to resident evil 5 and the main game God of war 3. Sawchuck...thats unbelievable man...there is a clear cut difference of blu ray vs DVD. I have planet earth on blu ray and that thing on a 52 inch sony LCD is just immaculate. You can count water droplets. lol! its insane.

Aww... that sucks, vraev. I played Fear... it was okay. But I wasn't inclined to finish it because I didn't really find it scary...
