BluRay Rocks

I feel like an idiot, but it took me about two months to realize that it was wireless. I've downloaded a couple demo games that are fun, but they take forever to download.

I think one of my favorite games is Motor Storm. Race just about any rig and you can play online too.

If you can get an HDMI cable. It makes a HUGE difference.

Really everything is. Bluetooth, the controller's, and the unit itself. You can access the internet using it, and play game's online.

I haven't had to pay to play online yet. I think the games that are more involved, like the combat one's with the head set's, but I don't own one of those games.

MLB The Show 08 is pretty fun, but it pisses me off sometimes. Then again, I only play it like once a week so I blow at it.

The whole online system for the PS3 is free. There's also a Playstation Store you can access from the PS3 to download (and pay for some) addon content, demos, and even full games (like the new Gran Turismo 5 Prologue).

For games I'd pick up Call of Duty 4 (amazing online), Resistance, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Motostorm, and Skate.

I'm on a lot playing Call of Duty 4. My name is Phicashel

Im a 360 guy myself but you can't go wrong with rainbow six vegas 2, I like COD4 but I think vegas 2 is much better.I have it for xbox and it is awsome. I really like it online, its my second favorite online game(halo is first). COD4 is very good also, the only problem with it, is the single player game is short, I beat it in about 5 hours.

If you're into racing games get Forza 2.

Just playin man. I have an XBox360, both are pretty good consoles. I have COD4 for PC but I heard the console version (mainly multiplayer) was awesome too.
