is a ps3 worth it?

Question

i was wonderin if i should get a ps3 but i dont know if its worth $600 because i have a psp and it sucks because you cant do anything cool with it other than get on the internet or listen to music. please tell me what is different between ps3 and psp and is it true that you have to have a high deffinition tv to play it and can psp really play ps3 games by doing something

Answer 1

No you can play the playstation 3 on a twenty year old tv if you want. Yes the psp does interact with the ps3 -remote play- and some of the ps3 games use the psp-- for example -- some racing games the psp screen becomes the rearview mirror etc.. You can use the ps3 to download ps1 games to the psp directly



Is the ps3 worth the money I would say definitely--- If you haven't found cool stuff to do with your psp then you need to check the boards cause there's a ton of cool stuff you can do.



Hope this helps.



An online game similar to secondlife comes out this month called Home

I think it's worth getting. If you don't want to spend 600 bucks, you can go with the 500 buck one. It's a little easier on the wallet. The 500 buck PS3 is just about as good as the 60 gb. The only advantage the 60 gb has over the 20 gb is the wi-fi connection and the various memory slots that most people don't even use anyway. I know I generally use USB flash drives because most computers have it, so I know I can carry it around to transfer data. Wi-Fi, well, it's convenient, but you're also more prone to people attempting to steal your access.



The difference between the PS3 and PSP is like night and day. PSP is a handheld, so it's not exactly a state of the art technology machine, but it is the most advanced hand held available. The PS3 is a movie player (CD, DVD, and Blu-ray), an internet machine, a video game console, and a tool to potentially find a cure to many diseases (folding@home).



No way to play PS3 games on a PSP.



You don't need a HD TV to enjoy the PS3. You know how people say the PS3 and 360's graphics are about the same? Well, do you hear anyone complaining about the graphics on a regular TV? No.

Answer 3

The PS3 really isn't that good as of yet,

It'll probably do better in a year when they lower the price and all the good games start being released



The thing with the PSP and PS3 is you can download PS1 games onto your PSP



And NO you don't need a HDTV to play but with the HDMI it'll get you the best picture

Answer 4

The PS3 is not worth it right now.There are no good exclusive games because Microsoft has taken them.The PS3 has no good games that would give you a good reason to drop $600.Blu-Ray is good but wait another year.You don't know if its obsolete.Yes it is beating HD-DVD but for how long?PS3 has free online gaming but not as great as Xbox live.Hence the saying "you get what you pay for"get a 360 for now not the Elite because its not worth the extra money.The Elite has 1.2HDMI and not 1.3HDMI which is what the PS3 has and that is Dolby Digital and has True HD

Answer 5

No, not yet alteast. There arent many good games on ps3 as of yet and the high price makes it even more unattractive at this time. Besides, pretty soon the prices will go down by atleast $100 maybe even more.
