how do I remove foreign objects from my Playstation 3 games slot safely?

Q. A foreign object, I believe it is a playing card, was put inside my Playstation 3 game slot. Disks can be inserted, but not read. How can I fix it without spending money, or damaging my system?

A. I got a better question. Wtf are you sticking playing cards in your ps3 for?

Is there any way to fix a Playstation 3 controller bluetooth function that has been damaged by water?
Q. I can plug it in to the Playstation 3 and have the lights light up, but when I try to use it wireless the lights won't light up, which has led me to think that its the bluetooth function thats broken.

A.

How do I remove website saved user name and passwords from the PlayStation 3 web browser?
Q. I typed the correct user name but not the correct user password into a web page on my PlayStation 3. Now it holds onto that bad password and wont even take the manually typed correct password. I tried deleting everything form any delete options in the web browser, but it still holds that bad password.

Note: that I don't desire to reformat to fix this and lose my save files for un finished games.

A.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 Elite?
Q. My brother and I are going to get either a Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 Elite. He is being ignorant about getting an Xbox and I want to know how much better Playstation 3 is.

A. In addition to what the others said:

For online,

The PS3 has free online play, but is not as good as Xbox LIVE in terms of population and activeness, but it has a fairly nice community. If you want to speak to players, any Bluetooth headset would do.

Xbox LIVE has a very excellent online network and system, but you have to pay monthly or yearly.
$20 USD for 3 months, $50 for a year. There is also a 1 month, but I think it's discontinued, I'm not certain. You'll also find a lot of really "open" players from around the world, but you can put that into consideration if that concerns you. Xbox LIVE is known for its rowdy audience :P

For talking online, you'll need a headset, a basic and easily-breaking one is around $20 (you can probably find a used one though for around $10), but the wireless one is $50, I think. The Elite should have it's own though.

Also, the Xbox 360 is known to be unreliable due to it's high failure rate, but the newer models are a bit better. It can vary from person to person, but as long as you don't open the 360 and fix what's inside, and just send it to Microsoft with your warranty if it gets the Red Ring of Death (RRoD), with that, you should be fine. It shouldn't happen with the newer ones like the Elite, but just have the warranty whenever that chance happens. There's also the probability of disc scratching, so try not to move the console around while a disc is inside, and put the console in a nice, well-ventilated room. It would be better to put it on a wooden surface or wire rack.

They both have their upcoming exclusives so what ever genre you like, that's what you should lean toward. Both work with shooters well, but the 360 is slightly better because that's where the shooter community is, and that the handling of the controller is much better.

For fighting games, the PS3 is your best bet. The fighter community cannot stand the pain that the 360 d-pad brings, but whatever floats for you. I found it harsh as well. If you play just for fun, you probably won't mind it on the 360.

For RPG's, both are good. It's just that the earlier RPG's are lacking, from what I hear. The PS3 seems to be catching up with its RPG tradition though, getting many of its RPG's back on track, so watch out for that.

In terms of graphics, they are similar, neck-to-neck. If anyone tells you if one is better, they are wrong. Its just that no game has used the graphical limits of Blu-ray (PS3). All in all, if you have an HDTV, you're set for both. Graphics don't really make the game; its just eye-candy.

Good luck on your choice! :)
