PS3

[steer]

anybody have their hands on one yet?
I picked up one last night and am excited to have it. It's a great system, and the price isn't so bad after you realize what you get with it.
PS3 is wireless (don't have to buy the external thing like for 360)
wireless controllers (without battery packs)
blue ray disc..those are freakin sweet, u wouldn't believe how light they are and transparent.
madden 07 is sweet, it's better than 360's... doesn't have owner mode though...
it has internet browser capabilities... i can surf the web, and watch video's on youtube, etc.. just can't download, unless you buy an external drive for it..
and it's a 60GB hard drive... 360 i believe is 9gb..
looks good on my tv.. i've got a 27 inch HDTV.. nice pic..

only bad thing I do not like.. it doesn't have a huge library like Xbox does online. Only a few demo's, movie trailers, and videos to watch.. but does have the Gran Turismo HD concept game online, it's sweet..
and another thing.. this broke my wallet..

i got one a couple days before Christmas, only drawback to me is that there aren't as many games out yet, but obviously that's something that will change

Im sure this is a stupid question, but, can you playstation2 games on the PS3?

According to what I've heard, yes. the PS3 is backwards compatible with just about all PS2 games. It is not compatible with PSone discs or memory cards though.

I'm pretty sure the PS3 is compatible with both PS2 and (most) Playstation games.

I looked around and found this site for determining games that are compatible:

Yes I play NCAA 2007 online with my PS2 and some of my online buddies are playing NCAA 2007 online with their new PS3.

I'm going to get one of these things in the next week or so, but I'm going to be one pissed off dude if I cant play online at the college. I know that was the case with the ps2 last year, I haven't tried it this year.

Another question....I've never actually hooked my PS2 up online...is this a big deal or do I just plug my DSL ethernet cord right into the back of my PS2 and go? (i have the small version of the PS2). I have been dying to get online and play NCAA07 and Madden07.

Cool, thanks for the info. I don;t think I will be rushing out anytime soon but sometime I'm gonna get a PS3 and doubt I will have any cash left over to buy many games right off the bat.
