boiler October 13, 2009 Share boiler Member October 13, 2009 I'm thinking about picking up a PS3 slim now that the price has dropped to $299. I'll admit the primary reason for wanting one is for the Blu-ray capability, as it is still the best option for the money as a player. I'm also looking at the logitech bluetooth-IR module so my Harmony remote can control it. At this point, most of my gaming will continue to be on my xbox 360, but I am looking for suggestions for PS3 exclusive type games that I may have missed out on. I'm considering Uncharted 1, MGS4, and Resistance. Any suggestions for games and/or accessories would be much appreciated. I'm not sure about the charging options for the controllers as I love my quick charge/swappable battery solution for my 360, so any options along those lines would be welcome as well. I was thinking about making this a b-day present for myself, but may decide not to wait a month. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFire October 13, 2009 Share DragonFire Member October 13, 2009 (edited) Uncharted 1 and MGS4 are 2 games I played all the way through and enjoyed them both very much. I now have Uncharted 2 pre-ordered and have already read some great reviews on the game. I tried the demo for Resistance and thought it was too hard so I never bought the game. Also LBP is another great exclusive that I have played quite a bit of. Other games I've played exclusively for the PS3 are Killzone 2, Infamous, and Flower(a short game, but so amazing). There are quite a few coming out in the future(God of War 3, MAG, Heavy Rain) that I will be playing. They also have the Ratchet and Clank series which I played the first couple on the PS2, but have yet to get into the series on the PS3. For charging the controller you just plug a cord into it and then connect that cord to anything with a USB port, and then the controller will last hours(20+) after being fully charged. The main reason I had bought the PS3 was for the Blu-Ray player also, but I've come to use the PS3 for so much more and I am so glad I bought the system. I also bought a 360 not too long ago and now I am enjoying the exclusive games for that system, so I'm kind of neutral about the console systems.

Jiffy October 13, 2009 Share Jiffy Member October 13, 2009 I am pretty much in complete agreement with dragon, minus the whole 360 thing. Blu-ray movies + ps3 games = fun We should so get at least a squad together for MAG. please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler October 14, 2009 Author Share boiler Member October 14, 2009 Went ahead and picked it up last night. I got MGS4 and Uncharted 1 as they were both $30, and grabbed a few Blu-ray movies as well. I still want to check out Resistance and will want to get the IR-bluetooth harmony thing eventually as well. I thought $450 was enough for the time being though. I have yet to do anything with it besides stream a little music from my laptop and watch a standard DVD that my wife wanted to see, but I should get lots of quality gaming in this weekend. I also ran the system update 3.01 without any issues. Sure doesn't look any different to me than what was on it out of the box though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfly October 16, 2009 Share dragonfly Member October 16, 2009 Not gonna lie, I loved little-big planet, but it's a game for goofing off with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler October 21, 2009 Author Share boiler Member October 21, 2009 LBP is on my list of "need to try", may give it a rent and see if it's worth a purchase. Would be a big plus if the Mrs. could get into it, unfortunately that would require buying a 2nd controller though... btw, MGS4 is epic. Everything I hoped for thus far. Only mild complaint is the first couple of boss fights I've had haven't been terribly challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFire October 21, 2009 Share DragonFire Member October 21, 2009 I'm playing Uncharted 2 right now and this game is by far the best single player experience I've played so far, it's like I'm part of an epic movie that lasts forever(since movies last a few hours). And the game just looks so beautiful. The first Uncharted was a good game, but the 2nd in the series surpasses the first in every aspect. Ugh, right now I'm just sad because I know I need sleep, so I have to give the game a rest after 4 hours, I will probably play some more before work tonight.

boiler October 21, 2009 Author Share boiler Member October 21, 2009 I can't wait to dig into Uncharted 2... loved he first one! Seriously, my birthday can't get here soon enough so I can pick up some new ones. Too many good ones to check out next month! Uncharted 2 (haven't gotten it yet) Assassin's Creed II Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 God of War collection for PS3 (never played either of them) Ridiculous.

DragonFire October 22, 2009 Share DragonFire Member October 22, 2009 Before Uncharted 2 I had just beat the first God of War, since I had never played them before either. I really enjoyed the game, and the boss battles are really something else. I must say, for being a much older game, the graphics aren't too bad at all, and I'm sure the remastered versions coming out will look wonderful. I have God of War 2, but since Uncharted 2 came in the mail I have yet to touch that game, but I know it will be just as good as the first, so I'm excited. Wow, so many games to play.

anonymo October 22, 2009 Share anonymo Member October 22, 2009 I have both GoW 1&2 and they're definitely some of the best games available for the PS2...I'm looking forward to the third if I can get my hands on it (my cousin who is moving in with me has told me he's going to get a PS3 as I already have a 360, bonus!) But it's all about Borderlands right now. Boiler. Borderlands. DOO EET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
