but those cost as much as a ps3..why not get the gaming system with it as well?

sure the blu ray may not compete in terms of performance to other ones but again you're not paying just for a blu ray you're also getting a latest gen console with plenty of other features i believe you are asking for too much for too little

You dont understand, im not the one classifying it as the "best" blu ray player for its price. Many people argue that. Its a decent blu ray player at its price, because with it you get a latest gen system, as you stated. But thats it, everyone thinks PS3 means gaming system and "great" blu ray.

Apparently you and him didnt get my point. The MAJOR reasons that kept PS3 going was BC that most upgraders wanted because as everyone else that upgraded, I myself was a ps2 gamer, never xbox, and I was dead set on getting a PS3 until they removed the important stuff while doing price drops. So you need to stfu and learn how to read.

Like most people now the PS3 is at a "perfect" price. But with some of the good features removed its pointless on getting one. Anyone saying its the "perfect" blu ray player at its price is wrong. Just the blu ray aspect of it isnt even a comparison to some of the top 200-350$ blu ray players.

As far as gaming console goes, it doesnt have much of a selection, all I see people REALLY BUYING is killzone, infamous, resistance, ratchet&clank, and uncharted. And im talking about physical media, not downloads before you bring flower and all those games into check.

Regardless its a good system, just not for me and half the other people buying 360s lately who ARE upgrading from ps2.

And you missed my point, topic poster buys a PS3 and obviously wants some recommendations on games/people to add him as a friend, and you steam roll the topic with why the 360 is better/why you don't like the PS3. Topic poster didn't ask for PS3 vs 360, he's already bought one :laugh:

Grats OP, the PS3 is a fine machine and Im certain you wont have any hardware problems like you did with your xbox 360.

There are plenly of games for the PS3 that I could recommend, but truth be told, mate, just buy whatever game you like. All the games in my opinion have been great, and the ones coming out next year are supposed to be really really excellent.

^ Thanks for pointing that out Jimmy because I was just going to point it out but then audio would be back in here with another reason to post a reply towards my reply.

Anyway, audio regardless of me "stream rolling" the topic, I still recommended games. So idk why you think I came in here said "OMFG NOOB YOU GOT A PS3, get a 360!?!?! you fail for getting a ps3" and left. No I didnt, I was curious why he did and explained why most people didnt go to the ps3 and still do go to the ps3.

Huh? With exception of hmm, halo (killzone2), forza(soontobe GT5), l4d1-2 (lol pick one) what other games are they offering that cant be found on a ps3? Saints Row? :laugh:

anyways, Pick up Arkham Asylum if you didnt already on your last 360. Perhaps the 1st Uncharted. Also mentioned on another thread MGS4. Demon's Souls if you have any hair you wish to lose. :D

Since you came from 360 i think you should definitely grab the God of War collection, assuming you didnt already have these on ps2. The game defined Epic and is an appropriate welcome to the console.

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta

      By Copernic · Posted

      BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

      DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
