Anyone with a PS3?
I'm debating on if I should get a PS3 or not. I understand that you can run Linux on it and I'd like to know if anyone has any numbers as to how well DOSBox preforms.

No, you don't HAVE to install games, not always anyway. And certainly not the whole game. It's more like, common data such as HUDs and character models gets loaded onto the hard drive to reduce load times. Virtua Fighter 5 certainly gave me an OPTION to install the game to the hard drive, and again, not the whole game, just the universal stuff. Also, of course games you download are gonna be installed on the hard drive, to expect otherwise would be silly. >>DOOMLancelot wrote:I heard like one good thing and one bad thing about it.

Good: "The graphics are amazing!"
Bad: "You have to install the games onto the hard drive!"
So yeah, if you're just getting it for the Linux to play DOSBox then that's pretty nice.
I might try that actually, but probably not, just because I'm not sure how well that would work. >>

Well, yeah, I mean there are a whole bunch of games that require some stuff to be installed, out of the ones I own I think it's just Folklore and Resistance or something, but it's not like you're copying an entire blu-ray disc to your hard drive. It may add up eventually, but unless you have a ton of PS3 games you keep playing, I fail to see it being a problem.
Wow, that's just a big lie there.DOOMLancelot wrote: Bad: "You have to install the games onto the hard drive!"
You don't have to install games wtf, lol.
Demo games I downloaded yea, but everything else, pop in the disc and play. Heh, gotta love those comments from people who obviously never tried PS3

And why not? It's got good games. They may not be MUST HAVE good but there are some fun games on here. For example, I really like Folklore, even though all I heard before playing it was that it was terrible and there's no reason to own a PS3 when you could be playing [stolenjoke]Call of Halo 5: Gears of Madden 09[/stolenjoke] on the 360. :/
yeah honestly I think the above stolen joke actually summed it up REALLY well, hence why I stole it. :/
edit: just realized you MIGHT have been talking to other people, haha. I'll leave it here anyway in case you were talking to the people actually playing the PS3. :V

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the thing at all. I just remember mouth always said he preffered PC gaming only. But hey, people's tastes change over the years.
Hell, my Bro has a PS3, so maybe if I find an appealing game I might get it. If I'm right, an NTSC PS3 can play PAL PS3 games too, correct?
