Ok, so I FINALLY got my PS3 (well I'm picking up that 80G Metal Gear bundle today). To quote KG, "I'M CERTIFIED!!!!!!!" So now what, PS3 experts?? I have my HDTV (thanks tinman) and I'm ready to go. What games should I look to get, or should I just wait (I usually only play sports games)? What other accessories are a must have, besides an extra controller? Etc.... Oh, and since I expect answers to come from techies, is there anyway to take something you DVR'd (i.e. the Finals) and burn it to a DVD if you don't have a standalone DVD burner? I do have a laptop....

If you haven't played it yet, Oblivion is definitely a great game to check out. It might be a love it or hate it type game (fantasy Western RPG with nonlinear gameplay), but if you love it, you could spend 100+ hours playing the game. Should be pretty cheap nowadays. Besides that, might want to check out Uncharted (kind of like an Indiana Jones game), Ratchet & Clank (nice cartoony platformer/shooter), Heavenly Sword (cinematic God of War clone), and maybe a few other games I'm forgetting. They're all single-player only and relatively short, so you don't have to buy them (unless you find a great price), but maybe a nice rental or something. PixelJunk Monsters (Tower Defense-esque game) is a really nice downloadable game that you can download from the PS Store (think it is $8-$10). This is all in addition to the usual stuff already mentioned of course (NBA 2K, MLB 08, GTA IV, Resistance, etc.). In another 3-6 months, things will start to pick up, and you'll probably have another batch of games to check out (new NBA 2K, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, BioShock, Fallout 3, etc.). If you literally only like sports games, you'll probably be OK just sticking with MLB The Show, NBA 2K, and EA's football games (and possibly whatever other sports games you like). If you like another genre of games not represented well so far (racing, fighting, etc.), I (or someone else) could suggest lesser known but still great games (EX: Virtua Fighter 5). BTW, if you try MGS4 and like it, I'd recommend checking out the Metal Gear Solid Essential Collection. It has MGS1, MGS2, and MGS3, all of which should be playable on your 80GB PS3, and only for $30. A bit old by today's standards, and they certainly don't have the great graphics and gameplay found in MGS4, but it will flesh out the story a bit while also providing for some more of the MGS experience (EX: great boss fights). It seems to be backordered at some places though, so I don't know how easy it would be to find. Ideally, you'd play it before playing MGS4, but kind of hard to recommend it if you've never even played a MGS game before.
i dont game much (outside of the occasional fifa action), but being able to connect my external HD and stream music off the tronz through the ps3 which is connected to our home theatre system......... DAMN.
I need a storage device with 80G of memory? How on earth do I do this? What is the purpose for a wireless keyboard? Thanks y'all. As most know I am a tech rookie. All I know at this moment is that I'm supposed to hook it up to my TV via an HDMI cable.
tell me about it dude, its an awesome feature. I believe the 360 also has it. It's really easy to set up if you have Windows Media Player 11
you shouldn't. I downloaded NBA 2K8 Rosters from their online component directly onto my 74GB hard drive (its not really 80 btw)
