Your wireless controller that should come with the ps3 should charge via the USB cable that should also come with it. And no NO memory card should be needed as it has a build in harddrive

What you should get is an xbox 360 for when after a few days you tire of the ps3's **** catalogue of games.

I was thinking of getting the xbox 360, but im not big on their bulky remotes. I am use to ps2 remotes. But xbox is $100 cheaper, but i heard some people are having trouble w/ 360s.

No memory card. No charger. You charge the control from the PS3.

You will be internet ready as soon as you get your PS3. WIFI is intergrated inside and no fees. You jump right in.

Plain and simple. Your hard drive is your memory card.

as an owner of all the next gen systems, i'd say if you want a PS3 get one! its not bad at all. i'll admit i dont play games on it nearly as much as i do on my 360, but i watch blu ray movies on it all the time. dont expect a decent online experince. and do expect to have to wait while games install. but its still a decent system and many games are on both. the ps3 i have plays old ps2 and ps1 games too. the new ones dont play the old games. just something too look into when buying your ps3

It's $100 cheaper.. depending on the unit... the cheaper 360's have no harddrive...

PS3 - Built in

Want Wireless? for 360 > $100 add on

PS3> BUILT IN

Regular movies on the 360

BLU RAY HI DEF and Regular DVDs UPSCALED on the PS3

Internet browser > PS3



PS3............

Why has this gone into a 360 vs ps3 thread. oh well they are both pretty crappy. 360 is probably worse because of the RROD

360s suck they broke on me, two of them. I recently just bought a 80 gig ps3 online for 300 bucks. I'm waiting for it be delivered and can't wait to get that beauty out of the package. Its a refurbished and I hope everything works good on it so I don't have to send it back.

Xbox 360 destroys PS3. Why? you are all going about how good blue ray is and how much you would want to make love with it, yeh yeh, but i bought a game's console not a dvd player with a games device. When it comes down to it ps3 has all these lovely gadgets and add ons, but as an overall gaming expierence, it comes no where near the 360, i mean you just have to look at sales to see this.

All of you keeping going on about how its online is free. Big woop, how many people play on it in comparison to xbox live? You get what you pay for.

The simple idea that blue ray players aren't cheap, it's essentially killing two birds with 1 stone because the blue ray player is built in the ps3


When it comes down to it ps3 has all these lovely gadgets and add ons,

Actually lol it's the other way around.

The 360 requires memory cartriges and or the hard drive, despite the charge cable the remote controllers need BATTERY PACKS

and to top it off.....you have to buy a remote simply to use the DvD function.



but as an overall gaming expierence, it comes no where near the 360, i mean you just have to look at sales to see this.

Actually this is explained by Microsoft having a monopoly on the software industry. That's just a fact.

As for the experience? Ps3 is smoother.


All of you keeping going on about how its online is free. Big woop, how many people play on it in comparison to xbox live? You get what you pay for.

Yeah you get what you pay for.......more people.

More people = more lag.

And not to mention the games ie (gears of war lol Halo lol) that are exclusive to 360 totally suck donkey penis.........whereas Hideo titles are just >


I'm sorry but Ps3 > 360.

If you made the mistake of buying a 360 and are just defending it I see that.

PS3 is more quality for your dollar, when you break it down, such as the way Runw/knives did. Less headache, and a constantly growing catalog. 360 owners' strongest arguement was the amount of games available, but that was well over 1 year plus ago. Metal Gear 4=best game available, and imo, best game I've ever played. Oh, and it's only on PS3. Like Run said, there is less lag on 360 online games, because more people have PS3 and appreciate not having to pay extra for online gaming in addition to paying for the console and games. I've played 360 a lot, and, from the controller design to overall lackluster of their exclusive games, it's laughable that 360 heads can still try to **** on the PS3. They only hate on it, because 2 years ago, they bought the cheaper product (360), and got raped by ol Uncle Bill Gates. Hell, even Socom, with all it's bug problems at launch (most of which have been fixed) > Halo series. That's sad for xbox owners, and likely induces regret.

damn knives, i was just about to respond to that dudes every sentence, i scroll down and saw you did :lol1:

Also the fact that 360 came out what 2 years before ps3? Yeah im sure that has NOTHING to do with sales figures...

Ive had both... ps3 ****s all over 360
