take it easy on me please, the last gaming system i bought was a sege geneis....so i'm a bit out of touch with all of this.
my son wants a PS3. several questions i have, and i'd appreciate any assistance.
- does the PS3 come with online capability or is this something extra that needs to be purchased?
- i've noticed the diferent memory sizes, do the games you play get saved automatically, or only games you designate to be saved?
- any other tidbits of info regarding the PS3 would be much appreciated, like additional wires, hookups, etc that is needed/helpful.
TIA.

Can hookup to wired and wireless networks right out of the box. PSN is free.

Some game data is stored on the HDD as well as your game saves. I have an older 80GB model and still have a fair amount of free space, but I don't store any movies or music.

If you have a HD TV, I'd recommend getting an HDMI cable. I'd get that and maybe an extra controller.

Blu Ray player included. Main reason I bought mine originally.
Depending on how old your son is, one of the better "exclusive" franchises in on PS3, Uncharted. New one came out a few weeks ago.
Can stream Netflix on it. Xbox live has the ESPN3 option on it, which I think is pretty huge. Not sure if that will be microsoft exclusive or if the PS3 will get it eventually.

Hdmi cord is a must for hd displays. Buy a couple of blu ray movies while you're at it.

if he is just going to use it to play games then you don't need the most expensive system. If he is going to store lots of music and movies then it would be best to splurge.

Free online which is a big seller for the console IMO.
Memory sizes depends on what you are wanting it for. YOu can put music and videos on it as well as download games straight to the hard drive. If you plan on doing a lot of that then get the bigger one. It is replaceable though.
I'm sure you know it plays Blu Rays so get some movies as well. Enjoy.
PS you will need to get an HDMI cable probably.
