How do i take ingame screenshots?

Hi, so i was moderating images and go thinking how do people take screenshots in a game on a ps3 or xbox?
I googled it and dident find anything, so mabye someone can enlighten me, do they hook a digitel camera up to the tv or what? Thanks in advance

You can't, wel you can in some PS3 games, like MGS3, RFOM, and others. With MGS4 you plug in another controller and press L1, or if you have a keyboard plug that in and press the prt sc sys rq button.

oh, you can do that? awesome i'll have to get a keyboard tommorow

Yup, its cool, any point in the game you can do that, and the pic goes straight to your PS3's HDD, on the XMB.

Logitec.

ok i also heard that you can use the playstation eye to record video straight from the game, is that true?

Neither, they don't have a mouse built in. Give me a sec, I'll link you to a great one.

I just use my HDD recorder it does the job.

Here are 3 of the best;

diNovo Mini - Small sized keyboard for the PS3, also includes a little pad where you can use as a mouse, like a laptop.

Cordless MediaBoard - Nice keyboard, uses a USB dongle for wireless, and it has a nice little mouse map like a laptop on the side built in, so no need for a mouse.

Cordless MediaBoard Pro - Nice keyboard, uses a bluetooth instead of a USB dongle for wireless, and it has a nice little mouse map like a laptop on the side built in, so no need for a mouse.

Best out there, the cheapest is the middle one, its exactly like the Pro version, but without bluetooth.

unfortunetly thats a bit much 20 bucks is my limit, do i really need a mouse? im fine with using my controller

if hes only going to be using this on his PS3, then the Logitec is a fine choice.

yeah i dont intend to use it for my laptop

Yeah, mouse is worthless lol.
