>okay...so I buy the 399 system....I will still need an HDMI cable as well? Is that all? I am not sure what come with the system, it isnt too clear on sites like circuit city and best buy. Does the blueray go through the hdmi cables or are there separate cables needed for Blueray?

Hum... My ps3 came with HiDef hook-ups. (new 80gig) but the Y pr pb or w/e it's called... But i had an extra HDMI laying around.

HDMI will carry video and audio at the best levels possible. If your equipment can support it, then that's the way to go!!

HDMI cables are SUPER expensive though For example, This one costs .01 cents.

>have any of u played time crisis 4? that would be the only reason id by the ps3 haha

i have it. its pretty fun. i love not having to pay quarters. plus there's other modes you dont get in the arcade. like this one mode where you move around with joysticks like a fps but you actually shoot with the gun. and if you own the rock band drum set, you can use the drum pedal to reload and take cover like in the arcade (might work with guitar hero world tour but not sure). you can get the game pretty cheap now since its old and some used copies floating around.

>im all for the 360 as far as online gaming, price, and games only offered for it. I also really hate the ps3 controllers, kinda blocky and dont really seem to fit my hands well,

What kinda hands do you have? The Xbox controller has the same basic shape as the PS3 controller. Blocky?

You guys must have ogre hands.

Anyways - I wouldn't touch a 360 with a 10 ft pole, pieces of garbage if you ask me.

eh, get both.

Buy a new PS3 and a used 360, they are getting dirt cheap, then then see for yourself and sell the one you dont use.

I think it'd be better if you swapped that theory. Used PS3 because their build quality and price are higher, and a new 360 so that you get the Jasper mobo which shouldn't have any problems.

Just picked up my new ps3 today on my way back to school. Pretty happy other than the fact that I thought my tv had an HDMI input, only to find out it has a DVI input. So my question is, my tv is only capable of running in 1080i at the most, is it necessary to buy a dvi to hdmi cable or is it the same running standard hd cables? The regular hd component cables can run 1080i, which is the limit of my tv, so does it really matter which i buy?

Other than that, I love the way it feels and the setup of it. I put it on my buddy's tv who has an hdmi input and it looks amazing. Bluray on it is ridiculous.

I just watched Spiderman 3 on BR, first HD movie...it looks amazing. The real changes are in the details, like the grains of sand on the Sandman...lifelike.

I have a Wii with a Mod-Chip in it and the graphics on a HDTV is terrible. The controls are to awkward and more than 1 hr of game play is going to mess up your wrist. Even with over 20 games none of them are entertaining, most are rather child like and boring. X-box is great if your a heavy sports person or FPS, but when it really comes down to it the PS3 kicks ass all day. Just remember the PS2 still sells even today, but you won't find any old X-box on the shelf.

If your TV is 1080i, I would buy a HDMI to DVI adapter since they are essentially the same thing.

As of november the PS2 was still selling over a million consoles a year.

I've read somewhere that DVI inputs cannot pass sound through and that I would need a separate audio component. Has anyone ever dealt with this? They have cheap DVI to HDMI cables but can that take care of my audio too?

no, dvi is just video, so use the optical out or the regular cable that came with your ps3, the red and white plugs.

Just remember if your going from a HDMI TV to your standard TV u will have hold down the power button for 5 secs so it can read the TV b/c the ps3 doesn't wanna go down in settings unless u make it. I just went through that it took me forever to figure out what was wrong.
