Picking Up a PS3 (likely) - Questions

[dsheinem]

I think you can play the PS3 and any disc game without ever hooking it to the internet, you just need to select "no" to any requests to update...

I don't think the Wii U's launch update was actually required to play anything. Did anyone actually try playing a game without installing that update?

It seems it is a common practice to not include the HDD cage on consoles that don't actually have an HDD in them already. Probably a cost saving measure ... put probably a nickle and dime practice as well, since the cage will get sold separately bundled with an HDD for a premium.

The Xbox 360 slim had the exact same thing with internal flash memory models.

Lego Hobbit or Last of Us....

Is that a joke or a serious question? . Imo if you can find one, get the GTA V bundle. You will have hours and hours of play with that game

Well...GTAV translated to hours of boredom to me before I gave up on it, but it is still an extraordinary game in many ways.

TLoU is pretty damn good but my enjoyment of that came mostly from the story so if you're predominantly a 'gameplay' guy you might find it a bit basic.

The Lego game is a Lego game.
