Tomorrow, I will be joining the legion of PS3tards. Unless I chicken out.
Red Dead Redemption open multi-player better be everything it looks. And, I want the Blu-Ray.

Basically if you're gonna watch a lot of Blu-Gay movies you need a real player. I only have 2 movies, one of which came with the PS3, so I am fine.
Won't Red Dead Redemption come on PC in the fall or something? Won't that be the superior way to play it?

Well, the prices for movies here and on Amazon.co.uk have dropped to the point that I finally went and got me a dedicated player/streamer, plus HD tv. I actually might have considered a PS3 instead of the player if I didn't have an X360 already, because there's more exclusive games for the PS3 than for the XBox.
Do tell me about that game. And my PS3 isnt loud when playing Blu-ray discs, and it supposed to be a superior player due to processor speed.
OMFG just checked out the trailer about the free roam multiplayer. So going to preorder this for PS3

While I prefer to play on PC, in my experience Rockstar games are one of the few pubs whose games play better on platform.

Well my decision is made for me. If I play the PS3 version first my PC buddies will have me drawn and quartered.
Unless... I keep it a dirty little secret. Hm...
Red Dead is good, I'm looking forward to the sequel. Isn't it coming on the 360 too though?
Hope they haven't put too much into multiplayer. I care not for that.

They're still better on the PC. You can use gamepads on the PC too ya know. For GTA I always used my gamepad for the driving and mouse+keyboard for the fps part
Yeah better on PC like that high school game of Rockstar where apparently they spent 5 minutes on conversion so it was buggier than the swamp in Fireblade's backyard
My ps3 is silent when playing video.
Whelp, I did it. Got the 250MB package. Picked up Bad Company 2 and Uncharted 2 while I was at it.
The last Rockstar game I played bored the hell out of me. Grand Theft Auto IV. Apparently you play the role of Dguller if he was a serial killer or something.

250MB FOR MOOSE AND SQVIRREL
The Hungarian version displays in 16 glorious colors. 8 of which are shades of beet.

As Uncharted is very story-driven, and mostly like playing a movie...I'd suggest picking up the first one. They're pretty much identical when it comes to gameplay/graphics quality. And both good games.
Ugh, I forgot how much coordination is necessary with those Sony controllers. Should've named it Battlesplat.
Bought my first Blu-Ray DVD; Fight Club, naturally.
You fags, my PSN name is Cyclicus.

Not at all, it makes some noises while loading the movie, but from there it's completely silent.
Seedy, if you plan to use it heavily for watching films, I'd suggest you to buy the bluetooth remote control; it's way simpler than using the gamepad to navigate the menus.

it was a superior player when it first came out. Nowadays, you can easily get equivalent or better player.
LG and Panasonic both have very decent Blu Ray player between 150-200$ CAN (figure 100-150$US).

It's not real New York. Between every mission you need to take your annoying friends out to dinner or bowling or to play darts or something. That gets really tedious.

You bought the special Blu-ray pack, which has the 250GB Slim plus movies and the bluetooth remote, right? :)
Welcome to the world of true HD. You won't want to go back to SD.
As you've noticed already, the PS3 Slim is quite silent when playing movies; you won't even know it's there. Watch boatloads of them.
That remote is essential for movies. It can also double up as a controller, so you can play with another person if you wish.
Also, you can plug USB hard drives to it and play on your TV any media files they may contain (use the 'see all' option to be able to browse through the folders).
The PS3 is a lot of fun to use. Together with the fine Xbox 360, they're an unbeatable duo; always get the best game version possible.
Oh, Martim's post made me remember: PS3 can be used to stream multimedia files from your PC, too, if both PS3 and PC are linked to the wi-fi network and Windows Media Player 11 is installed on the PC.

That's one of the movies I use to show people the wonders of Blu-Ray. The chase sequence with the Joker always leaves everyone with their mouths open ;)
Oh, one thing... while the PS3 is a pretty good Blu-Ray player, it's actually quite crummy when it comes to DVDs. Don't play those there.
(The Xbox 360 is, on the other hand, a decent DVD player on its own right; while I recommend a dedicated DVD player, I noticed that in some select cases the 360 can actually display DVDs better on my TV screen than the DVD player. But only in very few DVDs).

Is there a simulated forum with a cantankerous old man causing your character to nerdrage constantly?
Blu-Ray? Is that the format that still burns media to a plastic disk and then distributes it in physical packages?
How quaint.

Console FPSers getting high on their perceived skills is the lamest aspect of gaming. Sure you can learn how to do it but that does not make it any less ackward.

In control terms yes, but if you get up close to the TV the effect is amazing - it feels just like you're there in the action.
(I've reached a point where I can no longer stand just sitting in the couch when playing. I just have to go and stand right in front of the screen)

Some games have gore, where hitting someones' head with a shot blows up the skull.
I use glasses at home (my eyeshight is not what it used to be... I'm not 30 anymore). I do have contact lenses for work/social occasions, but I prefer glasses at home. My TV doesn't hurt my eyes, though.

Digital distribution is all well and good for people who don't own very much, but for people like me, storage space would become an issue.

Yep-- and it's a physical good you can actually own, lend, and re-sell if you want. You can rip it & transfer to different devices. I guess that actually is quaint these days.
FWIW, now that prices have come down, some blu-ray movies have actually become a decent entertainment value. The last few movies I bought were usually around $13-$15 in price, and came with extras, including a blu-ray disc with bonus material, standard DVD, and digital copy (which won't play on my Zune but it's a nice thought at least). And some older titles can be found for $10 and under.
And if I were a videophile, I'd mention that no streamed/downloaded/broadcasted content can match the bitrate of a blu-ray disc.
