Metal Gear Solid 4 for the PS3

It's been the talk of the whole Metal Gear Solid community since Hideo Kojima launched the trailer for MGS4. Will Snake really die in the 4th installment. It's yet to be known, but I have a feeling Kojima wants to end it well.



As for news of the Metal Gear Solid franchising crossing to other platforms, sorry guys, it's still a PlayStation 3 exclusive. I guess, this will mean a spike in PS3 sales this year.

As for now, oogle at this Tekken 6 Poster. The new character designs are top notched! I can't wait to get my hands on the console version of the game.

Playstation 3 Best Price - Is Less Best?

When looking for the best price is less really best? As you search for the Playstation 3 best price consider the challenges of finding the right place to make your purchase.

Let's tackle the challenges that stand between you and your purchase. You do want to start playing the awesome PS3 games quickly don't you?

Look at hidden costs. Things like shipping and handling will take what looked like a great price and twist it around into a nightmare. Also watch out for extra accessories that a company might try and force on you.

Consider the reputation of the company. Where ever you are shopping not all companies are created equal. While lots of companies are just fine there are enough that are not, to force us to consider reputation.

You can look at reviews left by other customers. This is a great way to help facilitate finding the best price for your Playstation 3. The reviews will give you a good idea if people are satisfied with the company.

Questions to consider when reading the reviews would be; did they ship the item quickly, was it packed well and did they get what they wanted. As an example one person recently got a new Playstation for Christmas but when they opened the box it was a phone book. So check the reviews.

Of course the price is an issue but really - is the lowest price the best? Often not. I have fallen for this line of thinking where I have spent hours searching for the lowest price only to get a headache from dealing with the company. So I suggest you safe yourself the pain of dealing with these kinds of companies. Realize that finding the best place to buy your new game console will likely not be the company with the lowest price.

Okay, where should you go to get what you are looking for? I suggest looking on Ebay. They have everything you could want related to the PS3. I do suggest that you check out the feedback on sellers and be sure that they are reputable and aren't getting lots of negative feedback. You can check their feedback in the upper right area of the Ebay page. Someone with less then 90 percent positive feedback is someone you should watch out for. Do not worry about finding a seller with only 100 percent positive. Anyone in the upper 90's will be fine.

One last tip for buying on Ebay is that you can also take note of the number of sales the seller has had. This will also give you a good indication of a reputable seller.

If you like you can start from the beginning and go do all the research yourself or you can get a head start. Make your work easier and get your Playstation faster - use someone else's research.
