Hi Vamsi,
First of all thanks for the wonderful explanation about the consoles.
I have a question. I`m planning to buy used PS3 and came to know that it has been jail broken. SO just wanted to know that if ps3 is jail-broken then will all its functionality like Blu ray, graphics etc.. will work properly? Kindly let me know if there will be any issues with Jailbreak PS3.
Thanks,
Pavan

Buy xbox360 4gb and later connect your external hdd to it ,it is cheaper.you can also play games directly by your game dvd.

Well it doesn't interfere with the functionality but you'll lose the support of Sony for your device and its illegal.

Great guide.

Those new consoles are great, but I still prefer my PS2 over them. It doesn't have great grapihcs, but it is waaaaaay cheaper than other stuff.

And what is the difference between nintendo ds and a PSP?

If you want something cheap and durable, then get the
Thrustmaster GT Experience Racing Wheel.

But Logitech Driving Force GT is much better( and twice the price :))

You will not be able to play online. Apart from that you can play all the games offline without problems.

Also you cannot update your PS3. I don't know if it is necessary or not.

What do you mean by a mod by which you can play all the games you have missed ?? I mean you can just buy those games and play them.

I have bought a PS3 .. and it has 3.50 v firmware..
I understand this can be jailbroken to 3.55 CFW.

I want to know if this CFW version can be used to play latest games .. or there is no way around (SPOOFS).. and I will have to go back to OFW !

I have GoW Collections Vol II .. but since FW is 3.50 , I am not able to play it wothout upgrading !
Please suggest !

Well done, Vamsi. It really proved to be helpful. Thanx a lot! My friend just ordered the PS3. Why not add a poll to the thread?

I recently bought a PS3 320gb slim. I dont want to buy an LCD display bcoz my budget restricts me. But I have 21'' CTV slim (samsung), which will suffice my requirement.

I want a ups which will backup both my ctv and ps3 for 5 minutes. Back up is needed only to shut down my ps3.

Will 650VA UPS will fulfill my requirement ?
