Hello fellow escapists, I will soon receive a small chunk of money after successfully suing my former landlord, and decided that I might purchase a PS3 and I just had two very quick questions

1) A while ago I heard Sony was planning a 500 gb model with wireless n capability, Does anyone know if that was confirmed or was just a rumor? If it is coming out is there an approximate date out there? I tried searching the web, but I could not find any results.

2) What are some of the must buy PS3 games. I have very eclectic tastes and am open to most genres out there. I already have a 360 so I am only interested in PS3 exclusives and not multi-plat games.

As for the 500 gb model. Possibly. Drive sizes are ever expanding. However from what ive exp'd thusfar having a N wifi connection on a ps3 is kinda moot. Theres so many things other than the PS3 that will inevitably limit your connection speed, your ISP, PSN latency, Host latency.. your basically never really going to see it, unless you happen to be getting 600mbit/s from your ISP and you dont get bogged down going thru PSN and you just happen to be a host.

As for games... Pretty much what has been recommended. My two personal recommendations for PS3 are Demons Souls and Fat princess.

500GB model with N was rumoured quite a while ago, didn't happen so I doubt it's happening. What Sony really needs to get on is a 4USB model again.

Little Big Planet 2 is a must buy, and worth it just by itself.

1. no Idea

2. DEMON'S SOULS (it's the only game I have left from the games I bought day one with my PS3, if that points to how good it is in my eyes.)

Metal Gear Solid 4 if you've played the previous games you owe it to yourself to play this one.

God OF War 3 (like before if you've played the other two you gotta play this one, and if you haven't played the other two they also released an HD upgrade for them on the PS3 so you can have all three, for your gaming pleasure)

Disgea 3 if you like tile based strategy JRPG's.

Heavy Rain

There are others but I can't remember them at the moment...

Hmm I am not to sure about MGS4 since my only previous experience with the series is Twin Snakes on the GameCube I might give it a try though. How lost do you think I would be during the story? GoW and Heavy Rain Both look good. Definitely going to get both of those. If the price on Demons Souls is good I will give it a try.

MGS4 pretty much answers all the questions about the series, so you probably be confused unless you either play MGS2&3 or read up on the events that happened in them online.

Demon's Souls got a GOTY edition, so it's $30 only.
