Buy a PS3 and take it home

If you have an HDTV Buy a HDMI Cable also

If you want internet and have an internet service buy a router with or without wireless and one (WiFi connection) or two ethernet cables (ethernet connection)

If you do not have internet service and want the internet Sign up with a Cable or DSL ISP ( Internet Service Provider)

The PS3 can go next to or under your TV if you want it to stand up because of space you also need to buy a vertical stand.

The A/V cable that comes with the PS3 is for 480i or standard connection with two audio and one video plugs that connect to the back of all TVs with RCA plug connections which are color coded and the HDMI goes into the PS3. For HDTVs that you want the best connection and 1080P or any HDTV reception plug an HDMI cable that you purchased into the PS3 and the HDTV.

Plug the PS3 power cord in both locations and you may have to turn the TV or HDTV to the location the PS3 was plugged into with the A/V or HDMI cable.

Plug your Controller into the cable for charging the controller and into the USB port on the front of the PS3. It will work without being charged as long as it is plugged in. You can use the controller to move about the screen that should be on your TV for the PS3

There is a button to push for the game or disc drawer to open and a game can be inserted and will close automatically after you give it a little nudge. Games are expensive and should not be left out of the drawer or there cases. There are also a number of settings you may decide to adjust and it is just too much for me to try to tell all the different conditions. You should go to setting and have your controller shut off with the PS3 or it will just stay on and discharge. The PS3 will not charge your controller while it is off.

No. They was an early set of PS3 models with 4 USB ports that could, but most models have 2 USB Ports and do not play PS2 games. Certainly there are all these false myths that a PS3 can play PS2 games if only you do this or that, but a PS3 that does not play PS2 games can not be changed into one that does with new software updates or hardware or anything else.


Can you play on the ps3 out of the box?

It does not come with any games. If you also connect online you can download free demos from the PlayStation store or if you purchase a bundle like the PlayStation 320 GB or 250 GB with the Move Bundle it will come with a single game that you can play. The PS3 also does not come with a HDMI cable so it will only have an A/V cable for standard 480i play even if your TV is a HDTV. It does come with a single controller and is ready to play games after it is connected to a TV set, it just does not include any games.

No PS2 games play in PS2s They wrote programs that run the PS2 to play the game exclusively When there are 2 game version one for a PS2 and One for a Nintendo Wii They have to design and develop different games to play in each system. Sure now if a mold chip existed it could just play the games without a console through your TV when you set the game disc near it.
