I finally got a PS3 to go along with my 360 and I have a few questions.

Ok 1. What firmware updates are available up to this point and what do they do excactly?

2. Is Tekken downloadable and is it online?

3. Before I buy Fall of Man I would like to know what everyone here thought of it(single player, Multi player). I know you're thinking why not go to the review page, but I like to hear the word on the street from other gamers, I rarely trust or agree with "Professional" reviews(and I use that word loosely). I usually hate what is considered great (Gears of War, Madden) and love what is considered to be meak and just "ok"(Shadow of the Colossus, Shadowrun-hay two shadow games, lol).

4.Anything else you think I should know feel free to tell me.

major updates, from my perspective, are things like backwards compatability, remote play and stuff, and there have been quite a few handy tweeks. but you'll get everything to date in one update, (i think)

tekken is downloadable from the playstation store

r:fom...i got bored of it offline to be honest. it's okay, but better shooters are on the way. lot of fun online though, which is the only time i play it now. good story, grat graphics, but lacking something as an actuall game, i though. of course, everyone has an opinion.

anything else....?

umm...

PS3 ROCKS!!!...?

Yes the PS3 upscales DVDS PS1 and PS2 games in an update a few months ago. Its very nice. Some PS2 games look like PS3 games.

So not only does it play at a higher resolution, but it also upscales the games.

Tekken goes online on August 23rd. You can buy the offline version now (if its still up) and then turn around and buy the online update at a cheaper price come thursday. On thursday there will also be a combo version which comes with the game and online version. Its just so that if you didn't have the original version. ]

As for Resistance. It's a great game. You will get some good single player, it plays really well and has some great features. Its multiplayer is much much better however. However, the majority of PS3 online gamers are going to be moving on to Warhawk come the 28th/29th. Buy it in stores and it comes with a blu-tooth headset that works with your PS3 and cell phone for voice chat.

I may be crazy, but in my opinion MLB THE SHOW is the best game on the console. I didn't care much for resistance, and I am a big shooter fan, and I did not like ninja gaiden, but thats to be expected because I hate ninja games. So far the only game that is worth owning that you cant get on a 360 is mlb the show, in my opinion. If you like baseball simulations then its a must have imo.
