PS3 Noob Questions

Methanoid · 17 May 2013 at 21:04

I sold my PS3 AGES ago... and am really out of the PS3 scene... Need some help deciding what to buy....

Q: Can games be installed on HDD like on a 360 so just the security gets read and game loads faster or is that only for downloaded games?

Q: Is there a list of downloadable games?

Q: I play all media with XBMC so is there any reason to get a big HD model if I cannot install games?

Q: I've been through a nice Wikipedia page listing PS3 exclusives and decided I want to get these series: God of War, Killzone, Resistance, LBP, Uncharted, plus Untold Legends and Haze (not best I know). Any obvious omissions from the PS3 exclusives I ought to play?

Thanks!! :cool:

Is there a way to find prices for PSN downloads? Looking at Red Faction PS2 Classics, Dungeon Hunter Alliance, Dust 514... can't find a single price...

Am I missing something on PS+? Looks like £40 to play on same network but sweetened with free LBP2, Infamous 2, Motorstorm Apocalypse and Hitman Absolution. Not bad I guess....

Do they disappear if you stop subscribing?
