Playstation 3

[Dmitris]

I aved a PS3 for about a month now, aven't used it much since. I'm waiting until I could convert it so it would play some fake games. :huh: I'm guessing it would take a while or never. :sad:

Some right idiots on eBay at the moment. A couple of PS3's going for about £470 with no extra games/controllers. Why not just buy it in a shop for £45 less? :huh:

The 60 Gb PS3 supports Wi-Fi.

You'll probably be able to play WEES 2007 on a PS3 but I'm not sure how the online thing works. The online stuff may still have region restrictions.

i tried playing PES online using wi-fi but it didnt work. the game requires to connect the ethernet cable.

The F1 game has awful steering and control so I've heard, but the career mode is awesome (and the graphics of course). Stupid thing is it's last season :/

How much you get it for Rafa?

you make it sound like fifa

what about full auto 2?? i downloaded the demo and its really good, playing online is even better, but is it worth buying the game??

 

[Diao]

You don't need a ethernet cable if you have wireless

 

[nikos24]

Rafa mate, what's your PSN add? I'll add you up.

 

[Diao]

PSN? I think mines Rafa2007, thats what my name shows up in game.

Can anyone name the song in the opening video of F1:CE?

Game website Kotaku reported that in Berlin, at a branch of the Saturn electronics store, 50 gamers got a free PS3 after smashing their Xbox 360 by throwing it off a wall.

Judging by the reviews of the PS3 i've seen, they made a big mistake.

I wouldn't be so sure of that at this early stage.

 

[BonBon]

give it time and you will see how good it will be

 

[Diao]

Fuck sake it hasn't even been out a week, and maybe you should play it first hand before making judgments eh?

 

[petersmith5]

Had the machine since friday, its nothing short of awsome, it has a classy feel to it, i downloaded gran tourismo HD and that is jaw dropping, my wireless connection works very well with the ps3, only downside, and i am not too bothered, is that pes6 doesnt work too well, i have heard that sony are sorting a download, tell you what though, FIFA 07 plays like a dream!!!!!

it doesnt matter if they dont like it they can trade it for a new xbox and get money too

 

[petersmith5]

X BOX?? is that that thing that sounds like a helicopter is hovering over ya house???? and if you want to watch high def films you have to buy an expensive add on????.......in a years time the 360 will fade away as a folly.

You're going to need to download and install a Firmware Update to 1.60.

Some people here are reporting that PES6 works fine on a PS3 with the 1.60 firmware installed so maybe you should give it a go.

Not all Blu-ray players will be equal

Promised improved functionality will miff early adopters

By Nick Farrell: Tuesday 27 March 2007, 10:10

PUNTERS THINKING OF buying a Blu-ray disk player should wait until November if they do not want to be saddled with a lemon.

The Blu-ray Disc Association sdays players released after October 31 should have a fuller range of features. For example they will be able to play back picture-in-picture video, as driven by BD Java interactive technology.

While lots of Blu-ray players that are on the shelves can handle BD Java to varying degrees, few can cope with the picture-in-picture capability.

Sony's Blu-ray 'killer application', the PS3 can't do it and neither can all the stand alone models from Pioneer and Philips.

Pioneer has upgraded its own BD Java playback with a firmware update. Before that its owners could not see a flashlight graphic within the menu portion of the Blu-ray version of the movie The Descent.

Videobusiness talked to Andy Parsons, a senior VP at Pioneer Electronics who said he doubted firmware updates would bridge all the gaps.

It remains a moot point whether older machines can be upgraded with firmware to get picture-in-picture functionality as the BD Java specification is a bit complicated for this sort of upgrade.

Other upgrades that the new standard demands is that all Blu-ray players must hold a minimum 256MB of persistent memory storage, although those that connect to the Interweb must have 1GB of such memory.

So far the studios have not released a true picture-in-picture Blu-ray product. The Descent had a work around for it.

It looks like the early adopters who gave Blu-ray its start and paid over-the-odds for their machines may find that they have to buy another player to get the full monty.

Why the fuck would you want to for a start? I can only really watch one thing properly at once, do I get a free set of eyes with the new Blu-Ray players? The PS3's Blu-Ray player can still play HD movies without needing to purchase any kind of attachment unlike the Xbox 360.

In any case this console war will end like all the others, there will be little difference between the machines and people will end up having their favourites and then they'll be arguing over which new console will be better, PS4 or Xbox 1080... it's boring now guys. If you like your 360 that's great but it doesn't mean you have to slate the PS3, and vice-versa.

The most ridiculous thing appears to be this anti-Sony sentiment among all the 360 fans, is it that Microsoft is a shining light of ethical purity? :unsure:

PS3 works just like the PSP, so can I be able to download torrents then downgrade them in order to play 'fake' PS3 titles?

Also, 1.60 is out, so time to update.
