Must own if you have a PS3

I just recieved this controller in the mail today, and it is amazing.  The white color looks great, and the rumble is amazing.  This controller has been much improved over the Sixaxis controller, and it just feels perfect in your hands.  The analog sticks feel much smoother, and when playing games like Call of Duty 4, moving around and aiming is much better.  I also own an Xbox 360 and absolutly love the 360's controller.  I can honestly say that after using the DualShock 3, it's hard for me to decide which controller I like more.  This controller isn't available in American stores now, but you can order them online now.  If you don't want to order online, and wait until they are in stores, that works too, but I highly recommend this controller, not just for rumble, but for overall better functionality and great feel in your hands.

Simply put this game is amazing. It came very early in the PS3 era which you can tell since it doesn't have any trophies. The story is very emotional and interesting. The art style fits the game perfectly and the music is great. Its not the easiest game so it can be unforgiving at times but once you get the hang of it, it is a lot of fun and very rewarding,  .

The game is a Tactical RPG and also a 3rd person shooter, but it has more RPG elements than anything else. When a soldier dies on the battlefield they are gone for the rest of the game which add to the emotional depth each mission has.

This is a must have for all PS3 owners

this adapter is definately something you need if you want to play your ps2 games on the awesome ps3. many people don't realize or know that yes you can save back on to your old memory card. at first you couldn't but now you can with the latest update to the ps3. this helps a lot if you are like me and you like to bring your ps2 games with you to your girlfriends house or something like that. you don't have your game trapped on the ps3 hard drive. before i realized that you could save back on the old memory card i was hugely dissapointed in the adapter because i figured why would you buy something to use only one time, but now its totally worth its weight in gold if you ask me. its easy to do, you just have to pick wich game you want to copy back to the card and vice versa when you put it back on the ps3. to make a long story short stop reading this and get it!

Got this item with a new Hard Drive for my PS3 Slim system. It's a great asset to have just to put the old hard drive to use. I can now use it (in FAT32 format) to record my game saves, put movies on to watch on the ps3, and have even put a couple compatible games onto the hard drive to be able to play on the PS3.

I would definitely suggest this item if you're thinking of switching out your hard drives on your PS3, and don't have one already.

When this game first came out for ps2, it was mind blowing. This game came in great condition and played perfectly the whole way through. I play this on my fat ps3 and it's amazing. Well worth the buy.

Unbelievable! A true improvement of the PS3 masterpiece, and I was finally able to play the Left Behind DLC. Remastered is truly a must-need for any PS4 owner, and it is one of the best examples of storytelling in video game history. Do yourself a favor and get this ASAP.

If you want to always have charge in ur controller, meticulous about electronics and want every thing to look perfect then u have to buy this PS3 accessory..
It keeps the controller always charged, tidy and in place, its great quality, and easy to setup...
The only downside it takes a good 10 times to get used on how to plug the controllers into the connections other than that its perfect and if you have PS3 you better buy this base..
As always Amazon Rock...

There's a lot that has been said about the Playstation 3 that I don't need to add.  So here, I believe I will comment on the setup and interface of the system.

When you first get this specific box, it arrives very well packaged with a lot of bubble wrap.  I opened the box, and right on top was the Metal Gear Solid 4 game and a disc containing information on other Playstation products.  Also near the top was the new Dualshock 3 controller.  In an insert on the side of the box was the A/V cord, ethernet cable, USB cord, and AC plug.  Comfortably snuggled within a cardboard insert and a soft wrapping was the PS3 itself.

Following the instructions, I first connected it to my TV via the HDMI cable (not included), the ethernet plug into my router, and the A/C plug into my power strip.  There were options for connecting digital audio as well, but unfortunately, I do not have one of those plugs in my stereo receiver, so, no surround sound for now.  :(  That's okay.  I turned it on and it started up fine.

It instructed me to plug the USB cord into the PS3 and connect it to the controller.  The PS3 found the controller immediately and it started up.  I then calibrated my video, audio, and internet settings.  After that, I registered for the Playstation network (I had trouble getting it to accept my credit card), and then I was good to go!  I spent the rest of the night exploring the machine, tinkering with settings, etc...

I then hopped right into my first game, Guitar Hero III, and it was a blast!  My TV speakers are quite good, so I don't even think I'll need the surround sound.  The guitar controller was very easy to connect, and I love the way the machine turns on and off.  You can control it all with the wireless controller, which is an awesome feature that I didn't even know existed.

The machine is whisper quiet, and will never distract you from gaming or movies.  It looks beautiful in my display as well.  Like the PS2, it has the option of being stored both vertically and horizontally.  I have it horizontally right now, and I think I will keep it that way.

So, bottom line is, if you want to take the plunge to a PS3, I think this is the right time to do it, especially since you get Metal Gear Solid 4 for free.  I haven't tried it yet, because I want to play through the three previous ones before I do.  I've played 1 and 2, but never 3.  I'm  looking forward to it.  I'll see you on the Playstation Network.  This is awesome!!!

I got a Playstation3 the Christmas 2010 and it has taken me a year to really get a handle on all of its features and capabilities.  Not only does it have great games to play, (though not as many good ones as its predecessor PS2 in my opinion), but you can download or upload music, videos, pictures and watch netflix on it.  You can also play older cds, DVDs and Blue Rays on it.  But what there's more.  Some games for ps1 and ps2 have been modified and can be downloaded if you have a network connection and played on your ps3.  Also the playstation 1 games can be downloaded to your PSP portable system or PSVita.  Plus there are many social gaming opportunities for playing on the ps3 world which seem a lot like those group virtual worlds described in books and movies but that I personally never played in before.  All in all this has got to be one the most one stop entertainment devices out there and well worth the money once you know hot to use it.  Visuals are excellent, especially if you have an hdmi TV and cable.  The sound is great and the system adapts to your setup.  I have sound going through the surround sound receiver and the hdmi directly to my TV.  The wireless controllers are also superior to the Nintendo Wii.  Since all the Wii remotes are movement controllers even games that don't need movement to play like Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy can get frustrating, but no such hassle on the ps3 which has specific games for movement.

IF this system lacks anything its the option to use cheat engines that were possible on older systems.  Because the system is constantly updated for security and for that very reason no one can make a cheat engine that allows you to change game states.  While that might be good for people who play network games, for some of us individual games have hard parts were you just die 100 times and being invincible for that non networked hard game for 1 minute would save on hours of frustration.

Aside from that one dark lining, this in my number #1 system for games.

I honestly cant fathom how many hours i put into this game on the regular playstation, and to be able to have it and relive all of those great memories again on the PSP is worth its weight in gold! Amazing game. Buy it if you played it before and wanna play it again and definetly buy it if you never got to and you love this format!!!

Works great with the PS3 super slim. It was so easy to install. I did not need to install the firmware like i originally thought, which was great.

I swapped in the laser (was a quick 10-20 minute process) and the PS3 now reads discs like a champ! I used this guide for the actual laser swap instructions ([...] and another one just to get the top off. I would highly recommend this, and plan to buy more in the future if necessary to fix more friend's PS3's

I really like that I am able to actually use it with my ps3. It works like it is suppose to. I have no regrets in this purchase and was well worth it.

I love this controller.  It automatically assigns itself to controller 7, and allows you to easily turn on your PS3 from the couch.  This also makes using the media server and blu-ray functions a lot easier for any non-gamers.

Why is this stupid system asking me how much fun this game is?

I do not see how a person can buy an Xbox 360 over PS3. I have never owned any Xbox console. Why? The joystick is too bulky, the 360 console burns out and the online has to be paid for. The PS3 is clearly the best. Why? Blu-ray format, reliability and free online access. Additionally, if you have an LCD TV, buy a HDMI cable!!! Tube owners need not apply. If you are looking to upgrade to a good, affordable and reliable LCD TV, I recommend a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/LG-37LG30-37-Inch-720p-LCD-HDTV/dp/B0016PFFYO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">LG 37LG30 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV</a>. For the HDTV owners, the PS3 will recognize the cable and you will be prompted to go to full resolution (1080i). The graphics actually get improved. Just when you think the graphics couldn't get better, they do. Picture playing PS3 in full HD resolution!!! You cannot beat that. Sure, the 40GB is not backwards capable. Who really wants to play PS1 and PS2 games?! That is a thing of the past.

Now, it is important to take care of the console. First, the PS3 must not be put in a entertainment center or any confined space. The game must be in an open space. Typically, during long periods of game play, the fan on the console will kick on and sound like a vacuum. Do not panic! The fan will go off, automatically. The console is just cooling itself off. Now, if the fan does not eventually go off, dust is probably built up in the system or it is being played in a confined space, such as an entertainment center. To get the dust out of the system, take the hose on a vacuum (if applicable) and clean the dust out with the vents! Do not do the so-called cleaning test, like those clowns on[...] suggests!!!! That tactic will eventually burn the game out. Of course, you will not have to worry about dust, until you have owned the game for a long period of time. If you play regularly, vacuum the vents, once a week. Since I bought my PS3 in February of 2008, I have had no problems. I did have it in an entertainment center and the console's fan was going off and wouldn't turn off. The console just did not have good ventilation. Overall, the game is superb and very reliable. I would highly recommend you Xbox owners to change over. If you are a PS gamer and do not own one, I would highly recommend the purchase. Available games make this console worth buying, such as COD4, CODWAW, MGS4 and GTAIV.

A true must-have title for PS3 owners. This game is better than most real-life action-adventure movies. It also features some of the best and most realistic motion capture (especially for faces) of any game to date.
