The Playstation 3 is IDENTITY THEFT

hmmmmmm. okay. let's see how that works.
i gotta set up the ps3 in the house first, get it on network, send my fuck you letter to sony and then do the update before i'm ready to even start.

let a brother know if you can figure out where to find your PSN account number; I haven't sent my letter yet since I can't figure out wtf they're talking about

Actually, I bought a PS2 pretty much for MGS3 and God Hand about a year and a half ago... never touched 'em. Now they're out on PS3 lolsigh. They're just sitting in their cases...

There isn't a PS3 account number lol sony. People are saying to put your account name, associated email addy, and PS3 serial number, although I seriously doubt they need the last of those.

ffs

I posted that already lameo

It is very likely that I copied it from this thread and then pasted it back into this thread, heh.

None of the YT links in this thread are embedding for me atm.

The PS3 will still play PS1 games! Just not PS2 games. No, it makes no sense.

well i have a shitload of ps1 games too so hmmmmmm

i should probably sell my boxes of old games anyway

Keep Bushido Blade. Always.

^ real talk

I just looked and my PS1 games have been whittled down to:

Bushido Blade
Parappa the Rapper
Tobal No. 1
Tomb Raider
Ghost in the Shell

I have a fondness for Bushido Blade 2 as well.

tobal no. 1. good lord.

Parappa isn't one of the PS1 games that work, I tried it (and UmJammer Lammy) and they run but the video/audio sync drifts out, so they're not actually playable. (This might just be my PS3 though so let me know if you get it working properly).

I've played it in mine and it works! It's a UK version (both the disc and the player). Actually I now have a really strong craving to play UmJammer Lammy, which I remember as being even better.

I would kill for Bushido Blade 2 but it won't play in my UK PS3

Bushido Blade was the only game that made me rethink my pro-Sega stance in the mid to late 90s

Parappa the Rapper was the only game that made me rethink my pro-Sony stance in the mid to late 90s

lol

sony is really quite adept at removing features users love from their products

gamesharing: too beautiful for this world :(

on the plus side it's like the last days of Babylon in all my share groups while everyone tries to get all their purchases in before the clock. additionally BF3 is available on the EU PSN and is fully shareable, so you can still grab it for around $17 until this goes into effect.

list of all games on the PSN in case ILX wants to take one last stab at a gameshare group in the next 2 weeks:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_Store_games

fyi I'm looking to split the cost of Bulletstorm and the Borderlands pack w/ the game & all the DLC if anyone wants in

goddammit i want in on a gameshare group, can we make this happen before the apocalypse?

the main thing is to establish a list of stuff we want to buy IMO; it's easier to attract people when they see what's on the table. right now unfortunately my wantlist is kind of random thanks to sharegroups and PS+, but I am looking to get:

- Borderlands
- Bulletstorm
- MGS1
- Dungeon Defenders
- BloodRayne
- Daytona USA
- Sideway
- The Last Guy
- Echochrome
- Auditorium
- Wizardry
- Galaga Legions DX
- Gunstar Heroes

i'll try and fig out what i have to share

no it's not trading games, it's figuring out what everyone in the group wants and then splitting the cost X (where X is less than or equal to 5) ways

aka SOCIALISM

Can you even do that within the new rules?

everything that gets bought before the 18th (or whenever the new rules go into effect) gets grandfathered in. it looks like you can still have 2 simultaneous activations under the new system, though, so you can still split games 50/50 with a bro after the regime change.

the other benefit, as i understand it, is that extant games not currently being shared, are all up for doling out to all within the group and as I am NOT goddammit NOT in a gameshare group currently and have been a psplus nerd from jump, i have a fair amount of shit to offer.

sadly no, it doesn't work like that. when you share games, you're really sharing one PSN account which bought the rights to play a particular piece (or pieces) of PSN software. if you bought a bunch of PSN games on your own personal account, you still can't give them out to people unless you give out your actual PSN login credentials.

aw

While i was waiting for skyrim i started playing Where Is My Heart and it's amazing

i like it too. altho it crashed my system twice on the last stage & credits.

RDR is on PSN today and is apparently gameshareable. so far during the Last Days of Gamesharing I've gotten:

- RDR + all DLC
- Borderlands + all DLC
- BF3
- GRIMgRiMoiRe
- Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland
- Maximo
- Odin Sphere
- Ring of Red
- Raiden III

fuk yeah

seriously, I've probably bought 60 or so games via shares over the last 2 years as compared to, like, maybe 5 or 6 "officially". you'd think Sony would want that money but, well.

Btw, couldadone better getting skyrim for 360 than ps3

I got the PS3 version because the odds of a 360 console scratching the disc to hell is frankly unacceptable.

are frankly unacceptable

ps plus stuff tomorrow includes
UM JAMMER LAMMY!!!!!!
free access to my most anticipated game of the year, Journey
SSFII Turbo Arcade whatever the fuck
Sly Cooper

Good shit!

when is Journey coming out?

next week

cool. I'll await your report. I wasn't a huge Flower fan (I hate motion control with dual shock), but I liked the idea. This looks more my thing.

yeah this is gettin crazy good reviews
