HI Guys & Gals

I need some input here please, as I am totally new to playstation, or consoles for that matter.

Since the soccer world cup, when I had a go at the wii motion thingy, Ive been contemplating getting a console. The only reason that I did not get a wii at that stage already was that it would require me to get a compatible TV (I use a large screen monitor for movies, attached to a stand alone DVD player).

With the advent of the playstation ‘move’ , I have once again starting looking at consoles. Hence I have a few questions:

Can the playstation 3 be connect directly to a pc monitor? My monitor accepts dvi, dsub & hdmi inputs.

What are the associated costs of getting a PS3 + motion thingy? Is new recommended or should I look at gumtree, etc for a 2nd hand console? I would only use it for playing games. I foresee a need for controllers for 2 players.

I’m mostly a PC games player, and then really only RTS & RPG (some online). Hence I would probably only play ‘sports’ type games that utilises the motion ‘thingy’. Is it worth making the jump and investment in PS3 for such limited application, or should I wait for a similar motion ‘thingy’ to become available for PC – if it ever does?

Thanks in advance.
 
uhm,

Sorry I don't like console gaming...

& the console gamers are probably still sleeping after getting imto bed only a few hours ago...
 
cant give an opion on the ps3, i dont have one
can tell you about the xbox360, with kinect bundle comming out by the end of the year, it 'should' be better then the wii or playstation move, (my opinon since it doesnt require any controller i could be wrong as i have not tested)
graphics wise i have a wii and a xbox and the xbox wins out, ps3 fan boys will say ps3, i dont have one yet but my buddies doo and its pretty much the same on games as the xbox that are on both systems but the ps3 is more powerfull just the developers haven been taking full use of the console.

on the cables, you can buy a cable for all of the consles that will let you connect it to a monitor they cost between R300 and R400 for a vga cable,the xbox and ps3 have hdmi output as well.
