I’ve been thinking about the PS3 & the things I’d like to be able to do with it. Some of these might happen & some of them probably will not:
No.1 I would like to be able to store my favourite music onto the hard drive & have the option to use the songs in games like GTA, Gran Turismo & Burnout instead of the music that’s in the game. Maybe you could even customise your own radio station in GTA?!
No.2 Having the ability to record/store game replays & have the option to send your greatest show off moments to friends online would be great. I doubt this will be possible but I would love the option to be able to record any gaming moment at the press of a button other than just replays. Mainly for the games that don’t have replays like Devil May Cry & GTA.
No.3 This probably will be possible in some games but I would like to be able to capture my image (face & body) using EyeToy & use it in a game either as the main character or as a NPC.
Imagine having yourself in GTA as one of the pedestrians & you decide to shoot yourself or beat yourself……
…..erm or maybe I’m just weird.
No.4 It would be great to be able to browse the web safe from viruses etc using your PS3. I dunno if that is possible but it would be great if they managed it & made it so your PS3 wasn’t at risk. I know that Linux OS will be preinstalled, so that should make it a less of a target & possibly less vulnerable.
No.5 You know how some games allow you to watch all the cut scenes that appeared in the game, in one continuous showing almost like a mini movie (I think MGS: Snake Eater did this), well wouldn’t it be cool to be able to store all the cut scenes from every game of your choice onto the hard drive & watch them at your leisure? FFXIII would be a prime candidate & so would MGS4.
What do you think? What would you like to do with your PS3 (other than play games
)?

I absolutely agree with your #1. My tastes in music are not EA’s tastes, so I want to rock to Rhapsody and Nightwish when racing down the streets of Monte Carlo. Not some band whose idea of a melody line is to use a second note.
I also want a greater emphasis on multiplayer gaming. All racing games should have a 4 player mode. Ditto for first person shooters.
I’m looking forward to downloading movie trailers in HD and watching them on my HDTV.

If they get close to what I can do on Xbox Live than that would be great out of the Box (Number 1 is one of the greatest things about the 360).
As for the other stuff, I think the 360 and PS3 will have essentially the same thing. Some of your requests will happen in time. I think it is more of an internet speed issue over a hardware/software issue.
Henning you couldn’t be correct. EA puts the worst songs in their games.

Business Business Business. As much as I would buy it anyway for the games the ability to do word processing, printing, and the like would be fantastic. Or do I now have to by a Sony PC???
