One turnoff about the PS3 is I have to buy the HDMI separate, which is an extra 50, so I may just end up getting one game and the cables. I can't imagine gaming in a world without HD.

Also, is it lame that one of the sole reasons I want a PS3 is that I'm such a HUGE Final Fantasy fanboy that I'd buy it at this point just for FF 13? Because I'm so hyped for that game I could esplode.
check out amazon, I got my HDMI cable for $5

Thanks for all the help (especially Joce!)

I ordered it today from Amazon, and bonus, it went down 5 bucks from like two days ago...so I got it for 35.00 instead of 40.00

Gonna be a few days as I'm cheap and do the super saver shipping, but I'm pretty pumped to see what the big deal is and start playing..

Pick up an HDMI cord online for cheap-as-free. I bought 3 12ft. HDMI for apprx. $25 with shipping.

What are your gamertags? I'm Fugaizi if someone wants to play NHL2010, LBP, and whatever other games I bought but have already forgotten about.

I finished Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, cool game. I am undecided between CoD:MW2 and Uncharted 2.

Yeah, this.

The reason game systems, printers, speakers, blu-ray players, etc don't come with cables is retailers won't carry products that included. The markup on cables is astronomical.

PopMegaphone on ps3 and 360.


Uncharted 2 is the best game I've played all year. It's single player campaign blows U1 out of the water. That said, if you want multiplayer I suggest MW2.

BTW...MAG is an open beta until the 10th. I have no idea what I'm doing in that game, but I was killing everything yesterday.

gamertag: rhesusfeces

my mic is broken and I've been too lazy to get a new 1

JoD, I have NHL08 and 09 and really love the Be A Pro mode. Any particular reason I should upgrade to NHL10?
