PJ-34 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Lets say I'm going to buy this. PS3 Does it come with a controller or do I have to buy it seperatly for $60? does it come with everything I need like a memory card? If not how much are PS3 memory cards? please it would help alot if I had these questions answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishoM Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 It comes with one controller. It also has a 40GB hard drive (that's what you save your games saves on) meaning you don't need a memory card of any sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ-34 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Oh sweet. But one more question. How does the controller work? I mean is the thing built in and all you have to do is turn on the PS3 and your controller's all good or does i have batteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 The controller doesn't have batteries but you do need to charge it once in a while. When you turn the PS3 on, you need to press the PS button on the controller then the red light should show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ-34 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Oh ok. Man this is exciting, I got my PS2 in like 2001 and was on top of the world. Then XBox game out, then PS3 then 360 then Wii and all of the sudden PS2 is the new Sega Dreamcast. The only reason I never bought a Wii or an XBox was because I didn't want to get used to a whole new controller but the PS3 is perfect. Amazing graphics and the same controller!!! I've spend years buying the shittier version of games that look so much better on other systems and finally I am on top again when I get this PS3 which I am hoping is in the next week and if i am very lucky I could get it tommorrow (saturday). I can't wait to get MLB 08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 When you get a PSN ID, add me: GTADon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_91 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 You basically get the PS3, the usb wire to charge the controller, games, and cables. Thats the only things you will get, oh and also a internet wire thing. NOTE - you can only go online if you have a router and my PSN id is - redunited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGunslinger Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 If you have an HD tv, you will need to buy an HD cable separately, the ps3 doesent come with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ-34 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Whats this PSN ID thing? are you telling me that the PS3 comes with a cable and with that I can play on-line? do I just plug it into a phone jack? or how do I get a PSN ID?

Charger Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) Whats this PSN ID thing? are you telling me that the PS3 comes with a cable and with that I can play on-line? do I just plug it into a phone jack? or how do I get a PSN ID? PlayStation Network, with it you are able to chat with other Playstation users, play Games Online, download videos, demos, and more. You can either get it by Wireless Connection or Cable for your PS3. Edited February 24, 2008 by Charger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 You could probably connect it to an existing DSL connection via Ethernet; I don't have a PS3 (or a PS3 Grill) yet, but that may do the trick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you turn the PS3 on, you need to press the PS button on the controller then the red light should show. You just said a wireless controller that needs to be CHARGED doesn't have batteries. While you are correct in saying BATTERIES, it does have a BATTERY, or else it wouldn't turn on... And yeah, it pretty much ONLY comes with enough to play games.... That are sold separately, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ-34 Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 So it doesn't come with this on-line thing? I need to buy all that shit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charger Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 So it doesn't come with this on-line thing? I need to buy all that shit? You don't need to buy anything to play Online. All you need is a cable or Wifi to connect your PS3 online. From your PS3 you can set up your PSN Account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ-34 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Alright I bought it today...but I did not realize that you couldn't play PS2 games on the PS3 so...ya I'm screwed until I buy a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still return it for a 80Gb or 60GB (If theres still some). The Demos should keep you busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ-34 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 There's demos on the 40GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_91 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Yes, on the Playstation store, are you wired to the internet? You need to get connected to the internet to get to the PS store (I think). On the PS store you can download demos and trailers for games.

PJ-34 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Ya I only have the 40 GB one, I don't have cables, how much are they to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_91 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 You didn't get the internet cable? I got one when I bought mine. Not sure how much they cost, should come inside the box of the PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaz The Great Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Ya I only have the 40 GB one, I don't have cables, how much are they to buy. You can buy an ethernet cable from most stores that sell electronics for pretty low prices. I don't know what stores you have in Canada, but at Walmart you can buy a 25 foot cable for less than 10 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
