Default last PS3 question..



Literally minutes away from getting one.. but, is it worth buying a game too, as I hear you can play demo's?? I have a wireless router that my laptop is from, is it easy to go online with the PS3? can a dummy like me do it?

thanks

Hope the move went well mate.. All settled?

thats 500 quid lighter on a fucking games console, that Im bored of already

jokes... To be fair, its the absolute tits.. Ended up getting motorstorm with the HD cable.. Quality game so far, but only had a little blast as Im off out to Fabric

Setting it up was a piece of piss to.. already setup the online thingy.. got cained tho, severly several times The mud splattering on the TV is abit annoying nearly go and wipe it off

Bring on some Blue Ray films, as this is what i really bought/brought it for

When Im next about we will have to do a passionford game on motorstorm show you who's boss

Also, is GT available on the online as I couldnt see it..

Westy - get on that AVForums I told you bout, and read up on installing Linux on it Set it up on your network and with that OS installed the PS3 becomes a full fledged media player, streaming media from any other PC on the network All your DivX and DVD Rips upscaled to 720/1080 via the PS
