Do I tell him? Xmas gift related

No, don't tell him, wait and see if some games geek here can tell you waht you need, it is a great surprise, don't ruin it!

You don't need an extra cable it comes all included for the blu ray.

I can highly recommend rock band or any of the lego games, I play those as well as OH, although he loves Pro Evo Soccer so I tend to recommend that one to anyone referring to any blokey blokes who are asking for recs on games.

HTH

Noooo, don't tell! That's a brilliant suprise I wish I had something half as good for my husband this year.

Shops are open on Boxing Day - he can buy any extras then. FWIW, it does come with the right cables to connect to an HD telly.

No, I wouldn't tell him, that would be rubbish and would ruin the surprise. If he needs extra bits he can go and get them after Christmas.

What a fantastic surprise for him. No wonder you're itching to tell him but think how great it'll be when he opens it on Christmas day rather than just be told about it. I'm sure they'll be enough in there for him to get started with.

I know I shouldn't tell him but it's hard not to, I've almost slipped up twice today alone. I just know how much he'll love it and I don't think I've ever been more excited about Christmas, I'm usually one of the people running up and down the Trafford Centre on Christmas Eve as I still haven't decided on what to get him.

BGB the guy in Game said it doesn't come with the HD cable and I'd need to get one?

Just checked with my BIL who's just bought one. He said that Sony threw one in with his but that may be because he bought from a Sony store. Why not give Sony customer support a call and ask them what you need? If it's a bog standard HDMI cable it's a £10 job from Currys.

No def don't tell him! i hope you don't explode before Christmas Day, bless...! ?

I'm glad it's just not me then, I know the TV is HD ready but that could mean absolutely anything to me. I got lost at the point when I was asked which model I wanted and I replied the newest one. I didn't even know you could get different memory sizes these days so the guy talked me into getting the 80gb one ?

It'll be worth it though, just seeing his face. There's a couple of games which have come with the bundle and I've got him Grand Theft Auto IV which is the one I know he definitely wants but I think I'm going to leave the others for him to get.

I didn't think of that BGB, I'll give them a call.

I'm pretty sure you will need to get an HDMI cable but as barongreenback says, they're not very expensive or hard to get hold of. (I've just been informed by my H that providing the distance between the TV and the PS3 is less than a metre, the cheap cable will be fine, but you might need a pricier one if they're far apart.) You'd also need a second controller if you wanted to play co-operatively. If you have a wireless router, PS3s have integrated wifi, and there should be an ethernet cable included with it, so he'll be able to play online straight away.

Sounds like a great present! Lucky Mr Raspberry!

EDiT - sorry, I couldn't see your first post where you said you already had 2 controllers!

I think you should definitely get Singstar for yourself ?

Are you a fly on my wall?

This is what I have done!!!

Hubby has been twittering for ages for a PS3 but we haven't been able to afford one. Anyways I've got him one and it's sat in my cupboard with a couple of games. God I am dying to tell him too but cannot wait for christmas day. Just need to think of a good blue ray dvd to get him.
