Okay first a little of introduction.

I was mainly involved in pc gaming but got tired of updating my computer every two years and also because of the sadness that used to haunt me that i can't play this game or it won't run well.

So,i finally persuaded my parents to buy me a Ps3.

This will be my first console in this decade ( my only other console was the oldie NES one) , if you could give me a couple of precautions or advice in dealing with it.

Also,can someone recommend me a sort of MUST BUY games for the Ps3.

Any other information or any sort of advice is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT : love racing games and i am getting gran turismo 5 prologue free with it :)
--------------------------------

Also,since i will download the firmware to my usb drive and then transfer to my Ps3 so should i download each and every firmware or download the latest one.

Also,since i live in india and it does not have any indian firmware so should i download any US or european firmware update.

Tell me how to welcome it

I believe you need to sacrifice a bucket of KFC chicken first to the all mighty Playstation deity. Don't hold me to that though.

edit: D'oh. Forgot you were from India. You need to watch the movie "Major League" to get that joke.

I'd buy the BD versions of Warhawk and GT5 Prologue (I assume that's what you meant), because it's the same price and you get the physical media (which you could sell if you want). GT5:p is also only $35 at Costco, so it's cheaper for the physical media than the digital download. The boxed version of Warhawk that doesn't come with the headset was darn near impossible to find when I bought it back in November, but you should be able to find it online.

go to gamespot and look at the ps3 top games and watch the videos to find what you will like.

all i did was copy and paste the top games from metacritic and bolded the games i have played.

my box comment was my attempt to make fun of a ps3 since i dont own one.

The new 80gig bundle with mgs4 should be available in a week, I'd wait rather than buy one tomorrow.

I'm also into racing games, I do alot of racing online with my PC. I wasn't too thrilled with GT5: P but since your getting it for free you can't go wrong. I would checkout Burnout, its alot of fun and GRID also looks fun.
