Oh and make sure you pick up the "PS3 Media Player"It's an app you run on your computer that syncs with your PS3 to play many different video and audio formats from the PS3. It also works for other networked media devices (my theater system can pick it up as well.)
So I finally broke down and picked up one of the next gen systems. Up until this point I've never owned a gaming machine beyond the capabilities of my computer. I did a couple days of research and PS3 just seemed to be the better made system all around as well as their free multiplayer service vs xbox's paid was a big plus in my opinion. Question is, what games should I be playing? I got Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 when I bought it, any other suggestions?
