Basic Console Purchasing Guide

[gameranand]

And you know, I wanted to try playing racing games with wheel, which I see many peoples attach to the consoles.

Well that can be achieved on PC too just buy a good racing wheel for PC and you are good to go.

And I mean, I know I can get PC games without buying them. But I don't know that method even exists or not for Console games

Well there are ways by modding the consoles but that voids the warranty ans maybe online gaming. Not sure about online gaming but warranty and support gets void for sure.

Ya if they are priced at Rs. 100/- or so, it's ok.

Buddy PS3 games are not sold on CDs....

 

[thetechfreak]

can we play any Blu-Ray movie in PS3.coz movies r region coded....

Yes, I think we can. Discs need to be purchased in India for Indian PS3

 

[gameranand]

can we play any Blu-Ray movie in PS3.coz movies r region coded....

Yes you can play Blu ray movies on PS3. And yes movies are region coded so you can't play a movie which you bought from USA in Indian PS3 I guess. If both are from same region then its fine.

^^ Glad to help. BTW you'll but the wheel or not??? I would rather suggest to go for XBOX 360 controller if you can't afford racing wheels as they are also good and gives you better feel than KB and Mouse but yet nothing beats racing wheel for racing game eh.

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Well, not now, as I can't afford that

How much is xbox 360 Controllers??

Otherwise now I was thinking about visiting some game parlour and test 'em out

And then back to my old KB + Mouse

 

[gameranand]

How much is xbox 360 Controllers??

Just about 1200 or less.

Well, not now, as I can't afford that

Well I figured that the moment I posted the link for that wheel.

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

^^Thanks for the help though.

Well, then I'm happy playing COD series at my PC

As a thumb rule you'll be able to play games on both consoles at nice fps. Frame rate doesn't matter much in consoles because all games are optimized so well for the console that they run nicely although with some exceptions. But PS3 has far better hardware than Xbox 360 so exclusive games of PS3 looks real nice and better than Xbox exclusive. Although its a personal taste.

Except some occasional exceptions.Most of the multiplatform games look and perform better on Xbox.

There are no separate Bluray movies for PS3. Just pop in any "region ABC" or a BD that matches your ps3 region. It will work.
