PS3 slim in the house

[luckydog]

Well, its christmas in August,

I've been thinking about this every since I saw the release info and today went to Bestbuy and used my "plastic" to buy a new PS3 slim and Blu ray remote

I already listed my other fat one on ebay

I've never bought any system near the release day---usually its at least a year later or when prices dropped

setup was pretty easy and i could use the account i already had.

who knows, at my age, I might not make it till christmas

Sweet!

whats the name of the pin game on xbox live LD

[luckydog]

on xbox 360 live its Pinball FX, its an excellent playing game with great grafics

[luckydog]

the ps3 slim will play ps1 games and even makes a virtual memory card to store saves on the hard drive

rumor is within the next year or so the ps2 will be dropped and Sony will add an emulator on the ps3 with a firmwear upgrade to play the ps2 games

ps2 sales are still very good, if they did it now ps2 console sales would drop and they are trying to squeeze every penny out of that console.

They have already made the decision to not make Beatles Rock Band for PS2. I had to buy the whole kit for my Wii instead.

Cool deal LD. I still have my old first generation 60GB PS3 with the hardware emulation for PS1 and PS2 games. I upgraded it with a 500GB hard drive, and just can't bring myself to sell it off. A friend of mine just sold his original 60GB PS3 on Amazon for $375. The other models like the 40GB, 80GB and other newer models don't sell for much unfortunately. I just purchased the Sony S360 Blu-Ray player that way I can conserve my old PS3's life for game play.

I have an old Xbox. I don't play it much, but I am interested in the PS3. I have a question...with the xbox, I had to pay a subscription fee to play online. Does the PS3 have the same type of deal? or is it free to play online?

I believe it's free to play on-line with PS3. I have never done it, but if I remember correctly it's free.

[luckydog]

ps3 online is free, all you have to do is enter your information

if you want to buy any downloaded games or extras you have to enter your credit card info.

there are 100's of free demo downloads and gaming videos

xbox silver is free, but, you need to pay for gold to play online

I love my PS3 Slim!
Got it right next to me mounted bedside here.

I also got the Williams pinball collection for my '360. Its AWESOME.

Its hard to comeby those PS3's with backward compatability. I wish
I had another one of those myself.
