    Default Play Station Threeeeeee

    OK, I know there are countless threads like this, and I really don't feel like reading through 1000 threads to get my answers.

    1. Is PSN supposed to cost money in the future? If so, has there been any talk of how much? One of the MAIN reasons I got rid of my 360 was that Live cost money. I know thats cheap of me...but I can't see spending $70 a year for a service that should have come with my system to begin with.

    2. Are there a lot of PSX games available for purchase?

    3. Is there any advantage to the slim over the normal PS3, other than a convenient size?

    4. So, what are some good games that AREN'T RPG's or shooters? I can't even wait to play LBP...I tell you whut. But, I could use some other suggestions too <3

    I'll go ahead and answer as best as I can

    1. Is PSN supposed to cost money in the future? If so, has there been any talk of how much? One of the MAIN reasons I got rid of my 360 was that Live cost money. I know thats cheap of me...but I can't see spending $70 a year for a service that should have come with my system to begin with.
    Not that I have heard of, neither do they have any plans about making a payment subscription, and I doubt they ever will, this is one of the most ''standing out'' feature that it has over the Xbox.

    2. Are there a lot of PSX games available for purchase?
    Popular titles, ''FF7'' is there, but games like ''Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22'' won't be, so if you played a really popular PSX game, it would of happen to be in there like Syphon Filter, FF7 etc etc.

    3. Is there any advantage to the slim over the normal PS3, other than a convenient size?
    The size and the hard drive, and it uses less energy.

    4. So, what are some good games that AREN'T RPG's or shooters? I can't even wait to play LBP.
    What other genre's are there other then FPS/RPG/RACE/Platform..
    Even though, there is not a entirely huge choice of great games, the best ones just happen to be shooters and RPGs.

    1. PSN will still be free but there is an option for a PSN Plus membership.

    PSN Plus offers;

    Getting access to demos sooner
    Game add-ons
    Avatars
    Dynamic themes
    And you get a free trial of any game before you buy it.

    PSN Plus will be around 50USD-60USD a year I think



    2. List of PSN psx games is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PSOne_Classics


    3. Differences of the new PS3 slim are;

    Smaller and weighs less
    Hard drive is now 120gb instead of 80gb
    Uses less energy, power supply went from 280watt to 250watt
    No PlayStation 2 Game Support or Memory Card Reader
    No linux support
    two USB ports instead of 4
    the system cannot be stood vertically without a stand.




    4. ummmmm....Heavy Rain and God of War 3 are good. Just google a game list or something.

    1. The PSN will be adding some type of premium membership. This will cost money. Regular PSN members will remain free and still be able to play multi-player games.

    2. I have no idea, sorry.

    3. If you can get ahold of a 60GB PS3, that would be lovely. You can play the PSX & PS2 games with that one. Otherwise, it's mostly just about harddrive space.

    4. PS3 has a lot of the same games as the XBox360. I don't know if you own a 360, so I'm not sure what games to list off. I can, however, link you to a site (if it'll help) http://www.gamepro.com/article/featu...est-ps3-games/

    I wouldn't get a 60GB PS3, that's what my old one was and it broke two months after I got it from system failure

    Thanks for the input everyone. Yeah, I'm looking forward to Heavy Rain and GOW too~!

    I don't mind the "plus" PSN thing I guess...so long as they aren't going to make me pay to use Netflix (wanna get it for my mom for Christmas).

    Is there any place online I can search through the PSX games for sale on the PSN? I really want Tomba, but I KNOW they won't have it

    Just pay attention to the little JP or NA symbol next to the release dates as some of these haven't been released here yet.

    And yeah, I'm disappointed there's no Tomba either. >.>

    Yeah, I saw it after. I mis-read the link and thought it was just a list of PS1 games

    If I'm not mistaken, the PS3 Slim has a slightly better Blu-Ray player than the regular, also.
