The Playstation 3 is a game system...

...sitting on my tv unit! Thanks Santa!

So far I have two blu-ray films and Assassin's Creed. I have learned how to walk and push people gently aside. So excited!

Yes but have you played the game yet

So, I bought one of these suckers. I downloaded the Wipeout HD + Rage pack, played the intro of MGS4, watched Blade Runner on blu-ray, and am running something called "PS3 Media Server" on my laptop to stream video to it. A little choppy on higher quality HD content, so I might have to figure out how to copy video to the PS3 or make my network connection a little better. Netflix streaming disc is on its way.

Now I just feel like I need a better television and receiver, sadly.

yeah, it's all part of the upgrade avalanche

forks when did u start playing videogames? do we have a what's ur videogame/console history thread?

ha, i think we do!

FALLOUT - It's Dangerous To Go Alone: Introduce Yourself

still can't believe how many people wrote in that thread, then went on to NOT PLAY THE GAME

seemed like too much homework

^this

Also starting with a turn-based game was never going to win me over. Letting a rat chew my leg because I've already had a go at kicking it just seems wrong to my FPS mind.

sigh

one day you'll be old and senile like me and turn-based gameplay will be all you can cope with, sonny

I'm usually not an RPG guy, but for some as yet unknown reason, White Knight Chronicles is looking pretty good to me. Anybody else thinking about picking it up?

Modnation Racers beta in EU today for first 100,000 downloaders. had a quick play around, seems to be just 4 time trial stages? one stage keeps resetting with a "Wrong Way" message even though i'm in the middle of the road going the right way, another has eye bleeding framerate problems. oh and everything has incredibly loooooooooong loading times. yeh its a beta, but not exactly encouraging.

white knight chronicles got some wildly varying reviews on original release. i guess they are supposed to have tweaked it for the int'l release? i dunno. i am drawn to it but i am definitely waiting for a reliable opinion to sway me either way.

ok - what about MAG? I enjoyed the little I played during the beta, definitely considering picking it up next week - anybody else? Not quite sure I'm ready to move on from MW2

question re: Eliminator mode in Wipeout HD Fury: has anyone tried just running the whole race in reverse? Will it let you? I initially thought it didn't but, over the weekend, I noticed that I was actually able to drive the wrong way down the track and wondered if anyone else used that as an attack strat

that renders your ps3 useless for anything but an emu device tho, right?

nope - setting up OtherOS partitions off 10 gigs for Linux and leaves the rest for PS3. you'll have to format your hard drive to set it up, though you can just back up/restore the contents first. oh and apparently this software is set to automatically boot when you load OtherOS so you don't have to go digging out a USB keyboard to enter shell commands and such.

the downside is that if the rumors are true and Sony's about to patch out OtherOS in a future firmware update (it's the cornerstone of the Geohot hack after all) all of your work will be for nothing.

anyone psyched for resonance of fate?

where is your ps3. will you buy mw2 for it? :/

didn't get paid just yet; won't be buying MW2 for it tho ;_;

sigh

I might be being dumb here but... you can't play psp games on ps3 can you? : /

not regular psp games, but you can play most of the downloadable psp-mini games on a ps3.

just sold my ps3

they weren't putting out enough katamari games for me to keep it anymore

katamari travesty

Excitebike + Trials HD = Joe Danger... looks promising and fun (definitely coming to PSN based on icons in the trailer, but maybe other systems too?)

yeah, can't wait for this one. looks like it's going to be a full disc release, too.

wishing you all well in your time of need
