i think it's more expensive if you buy at sony directly since they don't give discounts.

AFAIK you can already store games dun sa HD? how can i save games? kagaya ba siya ng iphone na dapat ipa jailbreak? can you play your saved games and at the same time play the CD games you bought?

you don't have to, but if you want to get games at a cheaper price then you should. downside is you'll lose reliability of your console and if you plan to play online games your account will be banned once PSN finds out you're using pirated games.

im using an LED TV may kasama ana bang HDMI cables yun? and is it a must to use HDMI cables?

HDMI cable is not yet included and it is a must for better graphics. sayang naman LED mo if you won't be using an HDMI cable with it, might as well play on a regular tv.

any additional information and inputs is highly appreciated.

thanks mga ka tsikot!
i have all 3 game consoles(ps3/xbox360/Wii). sold my Wii after a couple of months since i got bored with it easily. PS3 is collecting dust right now because i don't use it anymore, i hate the controller layout and online gaming sucks. Xbox360 is the best for me since i only play online games and Xbox Live is worlds apart when it comes to online gaming compared to PSN and the controller layout of the Xbox is just perfect, all the buttons and joystick is where it should be.

graphics of Xbox360 and PS3 is about the same but games that are exclusive to PS3 has a much better graphics than the Xbox360, again only on games exclusive to PS3, if you're playing games that available for both console then graphics will be the same. the only advantage of PS3 is it can play blu-ray dvd's but i rarely use it since i don't really buy dvd's and most of the dvd's i have are gifts.

i hope that helps.
