NEED OPINIONS ON PS3

[chinitoxamor]

i read online it said that it has internet browser.. is that true?? and is it good?? because i was thinking about getting the HP desktop system for 669 at bestbuy and HDTV but i dont use computers much only need to get online and check email and IA and myspace, so i wonder if the PS3 internet browser is good or not.. let me know whats your opinion

[kpc2593]

yup..i got a 60gb.....i found it nice that u can actually stream videos/music.....i use it almost everyday...(check emails, videos, music, news).....just get a usb keyboard, and a usb mouse and then your perfect...

[type s yo]

i love the ps3. are you still buying the hdtv? you'll be amaze forget the computer

[Schugg]

yeah its nice, like a normal browser. for some reason it makes me have left and right scrolls and cant just fit the width to the screen. thats about the only thing i dont like about it. can that be changed?? other than that if you have the wireless board and mouse its nice

[lilmanx01]

damn yo i want a 60 gig.. ne one know where to get a used 60 gig on the low? maybe one that didnt make it to its proper shipping address? ;)

[Schugg]

haha yeah....right. good luck, check ebay. or bizrate.com has some good deals sometimes. http://www.bizrate.com/playstationconsoles/products__SEARCH_GO--GO__keyword--60+gigabytes+ps3__search_box--1__sfsk--3.html

has for everyone wanting the 60gb over the 80gb, is that just because its cheaper?? or does the 60gb have something the 80gb doesnt?

hell no....i love my 60gb....i could use the extra gigs, but 80gb uses a emulator to play backwards compatible games.....60gb uses built-in hardware for that....so on the 80gb, you can only play a limited number of ps2/ps titles....

[lilmanx01]

^which is xactly what i want the 60 gig. haha theres this one badass tennis game i want on ps2... but i also want blueray. so 60 gig ps3 = perfect

[khailon]

the 60gig plays ps1/ps2 games :goodjob: ps3 ftw!

dont forget blu-ray movies.

movies in high def = awesome

[chinitoxamor]

yeh that too, for others who dont agree with me or understand what im saying.. i dont know how to explain to you, im speaking english

Since you are picking up a ps3 instead of a desktop you should probably just find a 150GB 2.5" SATA hard drive for like $100 on newegg.com or ebay. It just pops right in a few minutes, reformat the drive, and after all is said and done you have 150GB on your PS3 for the price of the 80GB ps3

dont even need to do that
u can get 300 + gb external usb HD's for 100 or under and just plug that in via usb to the ps3

cheaper + more storage

then you can also take it to a pc load all ur music, videos, etc etc and take it tot he ps3 intead of doing it over the network

[drpepper14]

that's a good option too

OR

You can upgrade the internal HDD and get an external usb HD and have well over 500GB to play with

[Schugg]

i dont see how anyone needs that much space, my 60gb is fine. could fill up 300-500 if i tried

[DemonEyez]

fine for now. but when they release the dual HD tuner DVR add on for it next year... yummy stuff

you can view the content u record anywhere via a internet link also.
