Hi guys, i want to buy a PS3 later this year or next year and i just want to know some things. Do you need the internet to update console? how do you hook it up online (via cable/ moded) and do you need the psp hooked to the net to get the PS2 playing thing (makes Ps2 games run)?? Much appreciated (and one more thing, do blu-ray disks get scratched??)

ok for internet the internet you need broadband first then you just need to plug the ps3 in to your router and your off or if you have a wireless router no plugging needed you can just jump stright on. and you dont need to conect it directly to the net to update it if you just d/l the updates to your computer you can put them any usb drive and update the ps3 from that

and you dont need a psp for any thing other than remote play at the moment. and blu ray disks are just as scrach resistant as a normal dvd so no need to worry

Yes you get the firmware update from the internet. Although sometimes you can get them from the games, but they're pretty old updates.

Bluray discs don't scratch that easily, check on youtube to find a plethora of people trying to destruct it
