The one to buy in India? X360 Slim or Playstation 3 Slim?
I am planning to buy a console and I am confuse between the console wars. I have experienced a X360 before since its a hit in my town and seriously no one owns a PS3 here. The reason I am confused is the distinctive features of PS3 like bluray player and exclusive FIFA Interactive World Cup mode in FIFA series on PS3 version. But i have played Gears of Wars a lot and a lot xbox for fifa . What should i do ? AM i losing other than this features if I prefer to buy X360 because this console is...

Should I get a PS3 or an Xbox 360?
I like the PS3's Blu-ray capabilities, but I'm also a big fan of Kinect,
And no, buying both is not an option right now.
And I'm aware that a third-generation Xbox is to be announced at E3.

Worth Selling?
I've got a PS3, and a bunch of games for it that I do enjoy playing. However, I've also got an Xbox 360, with a much larger amount of games. And the need for a new laptop. Is it worth sacrificing a PS3 that I use once in a while for Blu-Rays, and exclusive games, for a couple hundred bucks towards a new MacBook?

I am thinking of ordering one of these, although I know nothing about them. But I would need to hook to LCD projector and will that work?
My LCD projector has just VGA inputs (and perhaps a single line composite video), so will a PS3 work for me? I see only HDMI out... thx!
Also, any other buying tips are appreciated...I see bundles on Amazon.com but don't understand them :)

Region locked DLC
Most PSN content DLC are region locked, meaning a region 1 game won't work with the region 2 DLC which you got off from a UK account for example. However, it is not always the case and in some cases Region 1 and 3 content as compatible
.
I live in a country where they import mixed region PS3 games. So even if I use the US PSN account, I have to buy region 1 or 3 games. Is there any website that shows which DLC are compatible between regions?
Thanks

How can I get my PS3 to play full 3D movies?
I got a 3D LED Samsung TV that comes with a free BD 3D movie. I wanna try out the TV's 3D capability but my PS 3 does not support 3D viewing. Is there a software update or any of the sort that I can do?

Is the 4.0 firmware update for PS3 working ok for everybody?
Sony just released the new software but I'm hearing it's bricking some people's consoles. Has anyone downloaded it yet? I'm wondering if I should hold off.. I already have a finicky failing unit as it is.

Why is the Playstation Store saying my credit card is invalid?
Signed up for Playstation Plus last night and my credit card went through just fine, but later when I went to add some funds to my wallet so I could buy some games, it failed. And has been failing since. Even tried a different credit card and it's still failing. Nothing is wrong with my bank and both cards are functioning as normal.
Ideas for why this is happening? I'd rather not have to deal with the hassle of buying prepaid cards.

What are the must-have PS3 exclusive games?
Setting aside my insistence not to support Sony, I begrudgingly picked up a PS3 on Black Friday once I learned that I could play classic favorites like Crash Bandicoot, Ape Escape and Final Fantasy VII again.
Besides the obvious well known ones like the Uncharted or God of War series, what must-have PS3 exclusives should I pick up?

Playing my PS3 through my laptop?
Hey guys, so I recently had to sell my 23" gaming monitor that I used with my PS3 to afford a new computer. I can no longer play the PS3 (without having it in the living room across the house), so I'm looking for an alternative. I have heard of many people playing their game consoles through their computer/laptop displays, and I want to know how to do it. I know some PCs have HDMI INPUTS, and that would work, but they're quite rare and I don't have that luxury. I have heard things like Dazzle...

Did Final Fantasy XIII destroy your console?
I just bought Final Fantasy XIII (brand new) and when I inserted the disc into my Xbox 360, I kept getting a disc read error message. At other times, the Xbox would recognize the disc as a DVD. Sometimes it would load, but it would stay stuck on the Square Enix logo.
So I decided to do some research and looked up the issue online and to my dismay I've found endless threads about this issue affecting users of both systems. When I first bought the game, it was for the PS3 and it played perfectly.... Read more →

Since Qwikster is no more, what changes will happen for Netflix?
When Qwikster was announced, video game rentals were one of the services that were promised (I think?) to the consumer. Will Netflix continue to work towards providing that service since they have decided not to split the company's services into two brands?

Why does the HDTV S/PDIF out port turn off?
I have my PS3 (slim) connected via HDMI to my television (Samsung PN50C550) and the television is connected via S/PDIF to a surround sound BR player (Philips HTS3251B/F7 Home Theater). Layout illustration: http://cl.ly/9OrF When I play specifically Netflix titles with '5.1 Dolby Digital Plus' audio selected, the television stops outputting sound (the red light from the S/PDIF port goes out). If I switch to stereo sound, Netflix works fine. I've tried messing around with the PS3 sound output...

PS3 price drop -- now $250USD. Would you consider getting one?
It looks like Sony has dropped the price of the PlayStation 3 by $50. It's now $250, instead of $300. Were you on the fence about getting a PS3? Does the security breach from earlier this year keep you away?

Solved: Audio stream to PS3 from mac?
Is there a way for me to stream the audio from my mac to my PS3? I was thinking along the lines of the mac seeing the PS3 as a bluetooth speaker of sorts.
