Hi kinda new here on ps3..

[Belhi]

well.. think i should get HW or pass? will it be a laggy mess?

I would suggest you try the game out for a bit first unless you really want to play an Au Ra or you can get it on sale. Till you hit 50 having the expansion doesn't really offer anything extra. Once you get to 50 you will want HW.

Note that even when you upgrade your account will be the same so you can play the same character on any platform.
