Title: Boyah!
Post by: Socks on March 03, 2012, 08:40:53 PM
I have, let us say, a 'surplus' of 683 dollars. Is this sufficient for me to purchase a PS3, some accessories, and several decent games? I know nothing of these things, so help me! girl;

I am jealous of watching my friend play CD3.  myface;

Post by: Andria on March 03, 2012, 08:42:47 PM
I am pretty sure the ps3 is 299 now, and you get all the accessories you'd really need. A game should run you like 60 or something and if you want a mic maybe ~20

that puts you about about 400 so you could possibly pick up a couple extra games or controllers if you like

Post by: Kalahari Inkantation on March 03, 2012, 08:45:58 PM
YES DO IT

a ps3 is $250 and many of its best games can be found for $30 or less new

I want to play some video games with you guys, but I would never spend my actual money for it, so yeah, this I can do. What store would have all of this, something like Best Buy or Game Stop etc...?

I want a place where I can go, direct some underling, point and stare as they pile everything in front of me for a preparation of a big purchase.  wariodood;

both best buy and gamestop would carry most if not all of what you want, or walmart of target or any of those other major stores

Two controllers (wireless/with wires/two in one?), memory sticks (i don't know if these are ancient by now?), all of the charging cords and plugs, a headset (cool one), all of the internet connection switches and breakers, some fans to cool it (pads i don't know), and any and all other suggestions are welcomed.

also yes, suggest games to me

i am looking to start with an initial 5-10 games or so.

i do want all of the latest shooter/military games, but also ones you guys play.

do you have an hdtv

If you do, you'll need an HDMI cable, which can be found for less than $5.00 on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_scat_202505011_ln?rh=n%3A202505011%2Ck%3Ahdmi+cable&keywords=hdmi+cable&ie=UTF8&qid=1330837197&scn=202505011&h=04de6d7b08c8def888798a8221764d966f7056b6less).

all ps3 controllers are wireless and the console itself comes with one controller and the cord you'd need to charge it (a standard usb cable)

you can find a second controller for about $40 on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Dualshock-Wireless-Controller-Black-3/dp/B0015AARJI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1330837017&sr=8-3), though i've seen them for less

Also, the PS3 comes with an HDD built in, so you probably won't need a memory card unless you have other uses for it.
(though it would make sense to get an external hdd at some point to back up your data)

i'm less experienced with headsets because i don't use them myself, but i'm sure you can find a decent one for like $20-$30

If you'll be using a wired connection, you'll need an ethernet cable; otherwise it can connect wirelessly and you won't need any cables at all.

and cooling fans are pretty worthless lol, the ps3 slim does a pretty good job at keeping itself cool as long as it's kept in an open area
Title: Re: Boyah!
Post by: Socks on March 03, 2012, 09:08:32 PM
that was very helpful tech. i will make a list of all of these things and gather my money and probably head out monday. is the ps3 slim a different beast than the normal ps3, if so, is it worth the upgrade?
Title: Re: Boyah!
Post by: Snowy on March 03, 2012, 09:09:02 PM
PS3 new will run you about $250-$300, games are about $60 if bought new (recent ones at least, not including HD collections), cords are dirt cheap, PS3 has bluetooth so any wireless headset with bluetooth works, fans aren't needed, it has wifi built in.

Games:
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
LittleBigPlanet 2
God of War Collection
Uncharted 1/2/3
Portal 2
The Orange Box
Red Dead Redemption
Catherine
Burnout Paradise
L.A. Noire
Team ICO Collection
Dead Space 2
Demon's Souls
Borderlands

the only difference I know of is size and the fans. Slim cools itself better.

the ps3 slim is the current model and only one available, it replaced a larger version of the beast in 2009

there are no real differences, other than size, to worry about

You should be aware that there are two versions of the Slim being sold, one at $250 and the other at $300, with the only difference being HDD size (160GB vs. 320 GB).  I'd go for the cheaper model; you can always upgrade the HDD later if you really find it necessary.

why?


uncharted 3's multiplayer is completely different, it's been revamped and doesn't particularly feel as much like uncharted anymore

it's more serious, with a lot more shit going on. 2's multiplayer is sillier and less refined, but we (or at least i) find it a lot more fun.

lol jesus

oh boy, this isn't going to be easy myface;

Well, to start, you can find Modern Warfare 3 for $42 on Amazon. (http://www.amazon.com/Call-Duty-Modern-Warfare-3-Playstation/dp/B00503E9FY/ref=sr_1_1_title_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330838813&sr=1-1)

If you're interested in its prequels and related titles in the Modern Warfare series, you can find the original Modern Warfare for $20, Modern Warfare 2 for $30, and Black Ops for $40.

(i've never played any of the modern warfare games myself, but it's currently literally the most popular series of games in the world, so they're probably a pretty safe bet if you're a shooter fan lol)

Another series you should seriously consider is Uncharted.  The Uncharted games are the ones we play together most often, and it's the most popular exclusive series on the console.  You can find the first two Uncharted games together for a total of $30 (http://www.amazon.com/UNCHARTED-Greatest-Hits-Dual-sony-playstation3/dp/B0055202HE/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330839130&sr=1-1), and the more recent Uncharted 3 for about $54 (http://www.amazon.com/Uncharted-3-Drakes-Deception-Playstation/dp/B004EQCCI4/ref=sr_tr_sr_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330839181&sr=1-1).

(if $54 is a bit much for you, you can always wait for the price to drop later on, because uncharted 2 is most popular with us anyway lol)

grand theft auto 4 and red dead redemption are also some of the most popular and enjoyable third-person shooters available, amazon has them for $28 (http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Episodes-Liberty-Playstation-3/dp/B0045U01OG/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330839455&sr=1-1-spell) and $36 (http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Redemption-Game-Year-sony-playstation3/dp/B005N4HBIW/ref=sr_1_1_title_0?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330839550&sr=1-1), respectively

The PS3 has one major racing game, Gran Turismo 5, which you can get new for $40 (http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Gran-Turismo-Edition-Playstation-3/dp/B006JKARN0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1330839673&sr=8-2).

if you'd like some shooters with a twist, the orange box and portal 2 are immensely popular, as are the bioshock games

mass effect 2 ($20) (http://www.amazon.com/Mass-Effect-2-Playstation-3/dp/B002I0J5YW/ref=sr_1_1_title_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330840563&sr=1-1) is also a great one

if you care to try fantasy/superhero-type games, infamous ($23) (http://www.amazon.com/inFAMOUS-Playstation-3/dp/B000ZK7ZOE/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330840618&sr=1-1-spell) is incredibly fun

And if you'd be willing to try something a bit more outside of your comfort zone, there's a medieval action-adventure RPG called Demon's Souls ($20) (http://www.amazon.com/Demons-Souls-Playstation-3/dp/B002AB7TX8/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330840656&sr=1-1) that PS3 owners tend to fawn over.  Be warned, it's extremely difficult. tomatoes;

and then there's also the assassin's creed series

There are also some HD remakes of PS2 titles you might have missed, like the Metal Gear Solid Collection ($37) (http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Gear-Solid-Collection-Playstation-3/dp/B0050SX97I/ref=sr_1_1_title_0?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330840718&sr=1-1), the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection ($39) (http://www.amazon.com/The-Shadow-Colossus-Collection-Playstation-3/dp/B002I0J5FG/ref=sr_1_1_title_0?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330840749&sr=1-1) and the God of War Collection ($24) (http://www.amazon.com/God-War-Collection-Playstation-3/dp/B002NN7AKU/ref=sr_1_1_title_0?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330840788&sr=1-1).  Each of these collections contains 2-3 highly acclaimed, but older games remastered for the PS3.  Some of them have sequels available on the PS3 as well, like Metal Gear Solid 4 ($19) (http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Gear-Solid-Patriots-Playstation-3/dp/B000FQ2D5E/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330840825&sr=1-1) and God of War III ($26) (http://www.amazon.com/God-War-III-Playstation-3/dp/B000ZK9QCS/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330840857&sr=1-1), both of which I'd recommend.

The vast majority of these games are <$40, and every price is linked to its respective Amazon page.

lol have i missed anything myface;
Title: Re: Boyah!
Post by: Socks on March 03, 2012, 09:57:41 PM
this will take me like a decade to play/know/experience.

i'm going to start slowly with one game for myself, one game for boyah, two games for myself, two games for boyah.

Title: Re: Boyah!
Post by: Kalahari Inkantation on March 03, 2012, 10:05:06 PM
Yeah, I think that might be a good idea. sillydood;

Since your priorities are Modern Warfare and a multiplayer game for Boyah, I'd just start with these two:

-Modern Warfare 3 ($42) (http://www.amazon.com/Call-Duty-Modern-Warfare-3-Playstation/dp/B00503E9FY/ref=sr_1_1_title_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330838813&sr=1-1)

-Uncharted Dual Pack ($30) (http://www.amazon.com/UNCHARTED-Greatest-Hits-Dual-sony-playstation3/dp/B0055202HE/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1330839130&sr=1-1)

i'm pretty sure they're only very loosely connected, so it wouldn't really matter if you play the older ones or not.

tec is providing good information though. I would recommend Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition, Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition, Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3, Uncharted 2, and maybe Gran Turismo 4 and Battlefield 3 for Socks.

If you want a really good headset, I would say get this one:

ok guys, sorry to keep you waiting! but this is definitely happening tomorrow, i have 950 dollars and that should cover everything.

for the record, my friend rented battlefield 3 for a week, and i did like the graphics and game play, but it looked difficult and at times frustrating, judging by his reaction and such.

although i see modern warfare 3 as a play anytime and just generally a more arcade style shoot em up game etc.

for the record, my friend rented battlefield 3 for a week, and i did like the graphics and game play, but it looked difficult and at times frustrating, judging by his reaction and such.
I personally find games like this much more fun, so long as the difficulty is warranted and not just a whole bunch of bullshit nonsense. Makes getting through those parts much more rewarding.

so i was reading this article about some wii u thing and they compared it to an xbox-360, so is that the benchmark in terms of standards or is the ps3 superior?

i love it! it all seems very overwhelming because i left during the civil war era and now this is the 21st century but otherwise it's great!

also FIFA 12 is probably my favorite of the bunch so far. but i haven't tried uncharted yet.

Umm I already forked over my damn money when I bought the game! What kind of gimmick crap is this to get you to play their game for insanity and if that is not enough pay them again to play more of their game.
