My television doesn't do HDMI 2. Will Guitar Hero One and GH 80's work on the PS3? I know I have to buy some sort of adapter. Which adapter is it and do all the buttons work with the adapter? I've got GHII on my 360 so I'm not worried about that. 3. Is there any real advantage to the 60gb version over the 20gb besides the extra hard drive space? I have an internet port in my component switcher so wireless isn't that big of a deal. 4. What games do you guys recommend? I'm of course picking up the Show, Resistance, and F1 (been years since I've gotten to play an F1 game) 5. Rosters are done thru a simple USB drive right? Thanks fellas for any replies.

Great questions! I 'm planning on getting a PS3 this weekend as well. I was wondering if I should get it at Target because there replacement warranty is cheaper? Where is the best deal/bundle for the PS3 right now?

Thanks

i dont know the answer for 1 and 2 so i just skipped those

3. i dont think they sell 20 gigs anymore, unless the store didnt sell them all yet...but the 60 gigs dropped $100 anyways and if you did find a 20 gb ps3 on ebay or something, it will not have Memory Stick, SD, or Compact Flash inputs, Wi-Fi capabilities, or any HDMI output.(i just took that from a site)

4. i would recommend Ninja Gaiden Sigma if you're interested in those type of games

5. yep

Yes Dave, like we spoke over IM...........the PS2 components will work with the PS3.

GH1 will work with a PS2/PS3 adaptor from Radioshack, but not the one from Gamestop. GH2 and GH80's will not work as the guitar was wired differently for these. I have posted over in the 80's GH thread from a RedOctane admin that GH2 and 80's won't work even with the GHIII guitar, so hold on to your PS2.

If Wi-Fi is not that big of a deal to you, or even that extra 40gb, or the chrome on the 60gb.......................go for the 20gb if you can fine it.

But remember that the 60gb will have the Emotion Engine for BC, but the 80gb will run on emulation like the 360..............we know what that means.

The Show, Resistance, and Motorstorm are good games to own. EG and Rodster like F1, and the title I'm finally waiting for is coming in 3 weeks..........LAIR.

Yes, you can use a thumb drive for the rosters.
