so many questions I need answers for
which one to buy, I have seen one for £300 that they are going for in shops, what is the point of downgrading the ps3
what can a psp do when connected to ps3
how to put nes, snes, and pc on ps3, an if you can emulate a pc surely that means you can run nds games using a nds emulator from your pc.
can you brick a ps3 is it easy to unbrick
anyone know where i can find information for all this thanks post link here, really appreciated, tell me why you think the ps3 is such a great machine.
or should I just shell out £130 for a xbox 360 after all that would mean I can still play gta4 and the new squaresoft enix game
thanks again

1) The 60GB is the best because it has support for PS2 games. If that's not a big deal for you, just buy whatever you want. There is no firmware downgrading and there is currently no point anyway.
2)The PSP can control the XMB, send and receive messages, listen to music and watch videos, view photos and use (very few) games.
3)You can brick a PS3 similar to how you can brick a motherboard's flash. If the power cuts out while you are updating your firmware, you can get a bricked PS3 but since there is no downgrading right now, you won't be writing to firmware very often.
4)If you only play video games occasionally, a 360 wouldn't be bad. I play my PS3 about 4-8 hours a day and have a pretty good group of friends. I also like the blu-ray support which means I don't have to buy a blu-ray player for my house.

Hopefully this helps.
Regards,
Alex
