I just got a PS3 last night, and my new 52" Samsung LCD will be delivered on Wednesday...still no HD though.
Any games out there that are "must buy" for the PS3?  I have always bought the College Football game for the 2, but I am anxious to see what it looks like on the PS3.

By the way, anyone got any ideas on what kind of HDMI cables I should buy?
Call of Duty 4, and Guitar Hero III if you like addiction.  I assumed the HDMI cables come with the system...at least that is the way it is with X-Box.

I have thought about Guitar Hero, but I don't want my 6 year old to get a hold of something like COD yet anyway.

Awk is right Guitar Hero 3 is the shit! I say wednesday go to best buy and pick up Gran Turismo 5 for the low price of 39.99 the previews of the game look amazing! I just found out my Ps3 has built in Wifi so  I can play guitar hero in line 24-7 though my wireless router! Tiger Woods golf is one of my favorites and  I cant wait for Ncaa09 to come out! I have Philips Hdmi cables and I love them 19.99 at Walmart. The Areosmith Guitar Hero comes out in June! Congrats on the huge Ass Tv and Ps3!

Soooooo...the Philips cables, huh?  I saw some at Sam's Club for either $18.99 or $19.99, but I don't remember the brand.
I have debated about whether to get the Tiger Woods game for Wii or PS3, and I think I may go with the Wii game so I can get all that exercise...
NCAA09 is a definite once it comes out, and you guys have me itching to get Guitar Hero now.
Thanks for the HDMI help.  Gold connectors or not though?

I have TW for both, and I play the Wii version much more than I do the PS3 version.  It's a different playing experience to actually swing the club vs. sitting on the couch and doing it with your controller.

That's the link BKAU gave me a month ago for some decent HDMI cables that are about $10 a pop.  I ordered some as I wasn't satisfied with the ones Directv gave me.  They are a little bit thicker as they're designed for in-wall installation but I have mine running from the back of the TV to my receiver (not "in the wall" per se) and it doesn't really matter if nobody's going to be behind your TV.  You'll save a little money and I saw an improvement in the 1080p picture quality (when compared to the generic cables Directv sent me) but the sound quality seemed to be the same to my untrained ear.

Just got my PS3 today.  Extra controller, HDMI cables and a few games.  I'm a racing and golf game type of guy, so I'll have to get into GH3 as time goes along.  Besides, I'm terrible at it..haha....

Looking forward to getting this all up and running!  :vn:

It kicks ass doesn't it! I bought Tiger Woods 07 for 29 bucks just to try it out and it rocked. Wait until you watch a Blu-Ray with the Ps3 hooked up to surround sound. speaking of blu-ray Target is having a Blu-ray sale with select titles going for $19.99, and Best buy is doing the same thing with some discs as low as $14.99

Gonna have to check those out.  Thanks for the heads up. 
BTW...I was able to Bogart the original copy again of Pirates, so if I can ever figure Nero out again, expect a surprise in your mailbox.  If I can't figure it out, expect another useless DVD...

7 pages of X-Box...Playstation crap.  You people need to get a life.  That's why America is a bunch of lethargic, overweight, slobs.  Why, when I was growing up, we didn't have Xbox.  We had 3 channels on the tube and one of them was fuzzy and we liked it.  We weren't stuck indoors playing with our joysticks.  We were outside from the minute we got home, playing football or whiffle ball or shooting baskets in the driveway.  And that's why no one can shoot free throws anymore...because their not out in their driveways shooting baskets.  They're in the bedroom playing with their stations.

Why, when I was your age, me and my buddies used to make bicycles out of spare parts and jump over shit with em'.  Sometimes we wrecked and wrecked bad.  Half of our femurs would stick out of our skin from compound fracture.  Hurt like hell and sometimes made you pass out but we liked it.  After a good rain, me and my buds would get a couple of tire intertubes and head down to a drainage ditch and ride the rapids.  Oh sure, sometimes you'd wipe out in the nasty water and cut your arm real bad and the bacteria would get in there and cause a bad infection which eventually turned to gangreen and forced the doctor to amputate your arm just below the elbow.  But that's all part of bein' a kid and we liked it.

You and your damn Nintendos
