Fun things to do with a PS3

[Therealqtip]

I know the PS3 can do alot but like what? I know it can put Linux on it but what else? List some things below the PS3 can do besides play games, movies, and CDs

To add to my list I have a PTOM (PS magazine) and you can take out your "smaller" HDD and put something bigger in it like...a terabyte

It can cook a meaaaan hamburger......wait it's lost a lot of weight lately. I suppose it can't do that anymore. It can still do these though:

Internet Browser
Remote Play
Home (Not really fun.)
Emulation

Emulation

Wait you can put like a NES emulator on it or whatever?

I haven't tried it, but I've read about it. I don't know if it's possible on the slim (yet) though.

It can play imports thanks to being region free. But that ties into your "games" part. It can also cure cancer, or so they are trying with folding at home.

I thought the xbox was region free also?

No sir. Actually, I heard that they left it up to the developers of each title, so some are and some aren't. But the majority of them are not region free. You can find compatibility list online.

You can make it the center piece of your home theater because it kicks so much ass and looks so cool.

And one week later send the 360 back to Microsoft to repair RRoD.

Now children, let's be civil.

And then you have to play horrible PS2 ports of next gen titles haha.

Seriously I don't want to hijack this thread but the 360 PS3 fanboy battles are getting SOO
old. Go mow some goddamn lawns and get both systems!!

[Scott45]

Yeah, I never understood that mentallity, buy one system and defend it from all criticism.

I've got both a 80gig PS3 and the Red Resident Evil 360 system both have their plusses and minuses. I can afford to buy both, but I only bought the 360 because I wanted the latest Ace Combat game, no RRD yet (knock on wood)

And one week later send the 360 back to Microsoft to repair RRoD.

and actually enjoy the console for that one week you own it.

[TheDomesticInstitution]

Mine commands me several times a week to hijack threads in Modern Gaming and turn them into 360 vs. PS3 drivel.

[Snapple]

Guys, my friend thinks the 360 will cure cancer, but I know the 360 actually causes cancer, and the PS3 gives blowjobs.

In fact, I believe you left the blowjob thing off the first post in the thread.

[Dr. Dib]

You could sell it and buy a Wii and have loads of mind-boggling fun...

Or you could just play games with it. Weren't we making arguments with game consoles not really needing to do much besides playing games at one time? Well I know I was when I was arguing about the superiority of the Nintendo Gamecube in the great Fanboy wars of the 6th generation of gaming.

[Flack]

Besides playing games on it, I use mine as the front end for my upstairs media center. Streaming across the network, I watch movies, view pictures and listen to music on mine.

If you have a PSP and you work in a place with WiFi (or, perhaps if you know you'll be vacationing in a hotel that has free WiFi and you don't want to bring a laptop) you can swap out the standard HDD in the PS3, load it up with gigs and gigs of music and movies and then use your PSP in "remote play" to access and play all of those movies & videos. This is helpful if you'd prefer to fill your PSP memory stick with games, not media.

And, you can access the PSN store via PSP remote play, so if you happen to be out & about on a day where a good game comes out on the PSN store that you'd like to be fully downloaded and ready to play when you get home - you can pop on to remote play, access the PSN store make your purchases and start your downloads so they'll be installed and ready to run when you get in.

whenever i post comments praising the 360 and putting down the ps3 i am solely trying to get reactions out of people. I am just poking at fun, why do people get so pissy.
