any PS3 owners here?

[n2knee]

i assume there's a keyboard/mouse combo for the PS3? because playing an FPS with the analogue stick really really blows

you will get use to it. nasanay ako sa Ghost Recon 1 (first ever game ko na FPS). wala yatang mouse pa ang PS3, although you can buy usb mouse or keyboard, i don't think it interfaces or incorporates (or whatever the tech term it may be) with the existing games just yet.

Translation: The 360 has several games, some of which are decent, some less so.



Translation: The PS3 has one good game.

And that about sums it up. The 360 has a MUCh wider game selection, and the PS3's graphics are irrelevant because of that.

tama nga naman, maganda nga graphics tapos isa lang ang game ang maganda? :evillaugh

may HDMI na din pala ang 360 Elite, dilemma na naman

ang nakaka-attract sakin sa PS3, yung Blu Ray feature. X360 Blu Ray din ba or anong DVD player gamit?

What's good about the PS3 is that it's a fairly good Blu-ray player over the stand alone Blu-ray player which cost more. Xbox360 naman supports HD-DVD and they have HD-DVD add on.

HD-DVD, salamat kapatid

I saw the Panasonic Blu Ray player sa BX/PX store, $599 tapos hindi pa pedeng maglaro ng PS3, hahaha.

so, ang tanong ko sa sarili ngayon para makapag desisyon b/n 360 and PS3...would I watch more Blu Ray movies [PS3] or play games often [X360]?

[eggman]

Mukhang mura nalang ang Playstation 3 these days pero nawala na yung 20GB Version na Asian sa mga stores sa atin....May parating na 80GB Version with Dual Shock 3 controller in it which is goodnews!!!..

[bayonic]

if you use PS3 purely for gaming ... then it is perhaps expensive and not worth it because of the dearth of good game titles .
but viewed as a combo game console / blu ray player ... it is quite a bargain.

i use it 60/40 for blu ray viewing/game console ... plus it can also play the videos from my sony HD handycam disks directly... so sulit na pagkabili .

still waiting for a 150GB HD upgrade and Blu-Ray writing capabilities if and when it comes out.

My PS3 is for Bluray & MP4 movies., No games.

Only my Xbox 360 are for games and sometimes MP4 movies.

^could you comment on the usability of the PS3 as a video-only platform? i am thinking of purchasing one as well, but only for Bluray as well. none of the games available are worth purchasing the whole system for, imo - especially now that Xbox has Forza (no more monopoly for GT on my racing simulation time) and the GTA franchise is no longer exclusive.

here's my main concern - i don't want to use the freaking controller to control the player. optimally, i would like to integrate its controls into an all-in-one touchscreen remote. i also assume that it hooks into the TV through HDMI?

Sir, you can purchase a Bluetooth Controller for playing BD movies .... around 1.5K php
not sure if the controls can be integrated into an all-in-one touchscreen remote. those use infrared if i am not mistaken ... and i dont think the pse3 has infrared.
ps3 can be connected to a HDMI AV Receiver for AV switching/processing. it can also hook up to an HDMI display directly and to an older AV Receiver using optical cables.
with the latest firmware, it can also upconvert your existing DVDs ... and audio CDs.

How much na ba ang 80gb na PS3 now? Region free ba ang PS3 sa DVD movies?

[RedHorse]

last oct, bili ko ng 80Gb ps3, nasa 30k+ sa datablitz

[empy]

update - still no game worth purchasing that isnt available on xbox. graphics are a little better, but only if you have a big screen 1080p tv set.

i ended up buying the ps3, but it's in use exclusively as a blu-ray player...and for playing Rock Band :band:

It the most popular Blu-ray player to date, it is also future proof as Sony always have new updates on the system. You can buy a BT remote but it won't integrade with your all in one remote as it is bluetooth and not infrared. It also has WiFi.

This is a Forum on which I am also a member, mind you, this is not a PS3 forum but a Blu-Ray forum, browse around and you'll soon find out why the PS3 is very popular as a BD player.

Yes, even in pinoydvd.com, the PS3 is a popular BD player. And as for my question, are PS3s region locked for DVD movies? If so, can it be unlocked to play all regions?

[Marky86]

if your more into gameplay i would recommend xbox360 elite but if your a sony fan then go for ps3 regarding the region locked YES ps3 games are region locked dont know if the greenhills people already figured out how to unlock it. because ps3 is a blue ray console you can only play blue ray cd's unlike the xbox360 and one more thing xbox has a lot of fun games to play and microsoft releases a lot of games compared to ps3.

for me i will recommend xbox 360 elite or premium.

Rock Band is tough :band:

hirap na hirap ako sa guitar on Enter Sandman :sweat:

[froshie1]

When it comes to games:

If you want to wait - go for the delaystation.

If you want to play games - go for the XBOX360.

Go original sa current generation of console gaming you know why?

For the XBOX360:
1.) Di ka makaka XBOX live. XBOX live is so much fun!
2.) Di mo makukuha iyong latest enhancements ng XBOX360 unit at iyong mga patches ng games.

For PS3 (kung magkaron man ng pirated):
1.) Latest games prompts you to install the latest firmware. So how will you be able to install the latest FW kung modded ang console mo.
2.) Kung modded ang console mo at magiinstall ka ng firmware may possibility na mabrick ang unit mo because of the mods + FW (remember the modified Wii?)

Mas mura ba PS3 sa Japan? Meron bang compatibility issues ang units from Japan kapag dito sa Pinas gagamitin? Madali lang kayang bitbitin ang PS3 with box via airplane? Mata-tax kaya ito sa customs pagdating sa airport?

[froshie1]

Walang region lock when it comes to games.

Ang issues lang na maeencounter mo ay iyong voltage, 110 sa Japan while dito sa Philippines 220V.

When it comes to tax hindi unless marami kang PS3 na bibilhin.

Sa pagbitbit depende kung gaano ka kalakas at gaano ka kadesedido bilhin ang unit hehehe.

When it comes to mura, that I do not know but it should be.

[boybi]

Di ba autovolt naman na mga adapters ng PS3?

Sa bitbitan e hindi kasi ako ang magbibitbit Meron kasing pupunta ng Japan and I'm thinking na magpabili dun.

Meron nagsabi na mas ok daw sa Hong Kong nalang magpabili, dahil mas madalas na may nagpupuntang HK, so walang problema sa warranty issues, madaling ipadala sa HK. Tama po ba?
