I just got a PS3 and pre-ordered LittleBigPlanet!

[Tyler]

I'm excited. I'm going to go do homework now; do you guys have any suggestions for what to do with my PS3?

[LightGrenades]

Congrats dude!

Get Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, WipEout HD, for starters when you can. Both are excellent games. And Burnout Paradise is more than worth the $30 (you cana actually download it off the PSN!).

But I would definitely tweak the settings of the PS3. Do you have an HDTV? Are you hooked up Via HDMI or Component? The ps3 can be tweaked for best picture quality and such.

[Whalio Cappuccino]

Nice, now it's just my turn.

2 Days 1 Hour left.

[Tyler]

Uggh... I'm just praying I get the LBP beta.

[BobMarley]

**** I thought this was a thread from Whaaaale.. id probably see more excitement in the title from him though but congrats bro.. you're just a step closer now!

[Kyashu]

Yeah thats what I had thought, that whaaaaale had recieved his. But great job tyler Hope you have an happy experience with your PS3 oly three weeks to go till LBP .

[ClankXIII]

Hmm. Things to do before you purchase/receive your first PS3 game:

Sign up for PSN (enter credit card info, you'll regret it later)

Edit your online profile and comment

Add friends

Get your online working

Check out the internet on your PS3

Go to the Playstation Store and download a bunch of themes/backgrounds

Play around with your background, theme, and XMB settings

Download a bunch of demos from the Playstation Store

Get to know the PS3 (different settings, how to do stuff, etc.)

Import some music from any CD's you have

If you have headset/mic - Register your headset/mic device on your PS3

If you have PSeye - Download eyecreate for free and mess around with it

Watch some DVDs or BRDs

Borrow games from friends

Eat a tuna sandwich

And those are just a few of the things you can do with your PS3.

Oh, most importantly:

Have Fun!

Let me give you this advice, something that I've found works very, very well:

Step A. Go to the PSN Store.
Step B. Go to the Demos section.
Step C. Download any demo that catches your vague interest, especially if they've been reviewed well, or even if they haven't.
Step D. Wait.
Step E. Play your demos.

That should last you for a while, and should make your console seem like it's actually useful, rather than an empty box with nothing incredibly useful.

Also, I heavily endorse getting Burnout Paradise. It's cheap, it's awesome.

Demos are awesome.

My recommendations:

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Elefunk

Pixeljunk Eden

Soul Calibur IV

[Mark D. Stroyer]

My recommends, in no particular order but my memory:

Resistance
Ratchet and Clank
Motorstorm
PixelJunk Racers
Fracture
Battlefield: Bad Company (less so now that multiplayer's been disabled)
Skate
Top Spin 3
Lost Planet (Maybe)

I really can't remember anything else at the moment, but I'll leave it at that. Some of those have a considerable amount of replayability to them.

bad companys multiplayer still is going on in that game, i should know cause i play on it a couple of times

[Mark D. Stroyer]

For the demo? Are you sure you mean that, and not the full game? I remember it shutting down very soon after the game came out, and then I saw a post on the Battlefield site talking about how it was down, and they're giving away the weapon you could unlock by playing it since you can't get it.

[TearsOfHeaven]

yep the demo, i only have the demo and it still have people playing online

[ClankXIII]

Wow, I totally forgot about Lost Planet. When I first got my PS3, I played that demo a billion times more than the Motorstorm that came with it. :P
