    ...I have never turned it off and never turned my PS2 off either - I was told it is to be treated like your computer...it actually is hard on it if you keep turning it on and off. (I "DO" take my game-discs out of the console all the time though!)

      Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part II

      this is a 75 page thread, so I'll be courteous with my repetitive question and be quick. Which ps3 should I buy? There's the 80 and 40 gig versions in the store, plus used 60 gig versions on ebay for a little cheaper. I'd don't really care for all the top shelf frills of the ps3, and can play ps2 games on a ps2.

      It's been a few nights since my 360 died, and my coffin isn't even here yet. I just want to game again.

        60 is the best system they've made IMO. It'll play any PS2 game. With the 80, you have software emulation, and the 40 doesn't play any PS2 games.

        If that's not something you care about, get the 80.

          the only issue with the 40 is no ps2 games, and 2 less usb ports. (big whoop)

              Oh, okay. I wouldn't know. The only PS3 game disc that's ever been in my system is The Show.

                yeah, I can play ps2 games on a ps2, so no big deal there. I suppose I'll go that way. It's only $399, which I should be able to mostly make up by selling my xbox and games.

                  I've had Uncharted too....but if 40 gb ever becomes a problem then I'm DL or using a ton of the other space in good ways, so I would be worth it to pay for an upgrade later on...I've had the 20 GB MS 360 HD and that has a ton of space left (and I have like 1GB of Oblivion saves I'm too lazy to delete, gotta get out the mem card and copy over my saves sometime).

                    What's the best way to stream media to the ps3? Do I need to set up a dedicated folder set up on my desktop?

                      Rocky I think you just need to share the Desktop folder for your network. On the ps3 xmb, go to the windows media player tab then go to video and see if there are any videos there. Download a small file to make sure it works. I watch the 1up show and Gametrailers the Bonus Round on my ps3 after downloading them to the desktop.

                          If double the hard drive space + Motorstorm is worth $50 to you, I'd go with the 80gb. If you trade in a PS2 at GameStop, you get $50 trade-in credit on a PS3, so it'd only be $50 more for the nicer model...

                          And you wouldn't need the PS2, since the 80gb is backwards compatible.
