Gaijin Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 PS3's to get even lighter: PS3's get new heatsinks
Keith Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 If they could build a PS3 that doubles as an airconditioner, as opposed to the current heater models, I'd totally buy another one.
kung flu Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Finally got a new game for my PS3, can't remember how long it has been since i bought a game for it. Time to wipe the dust away and slap in Lost Planet. The game reminds me of Starship Troopers and a anime called Blue Gender.

Time to wipe the dust away and slap in Lost Planet. The game reminds me of Starship Troopers and a anime called Blue Gender. I am actually renting that this week. Never played it on 360, it is not too bad, but not great either. Of course with COD4 new maps and MGO Beta this week, I seem to be playing pretty much those this week mostly.

I keep meaning to get COD4, but its just too expensive over here about £40 to £50 ($80-$100). Even the second hand copies are £40 Still while i wait for price drops, the only game i'm looking forward to is MGS4, and i'll be getting it as soon as its out.
Wes Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 So is this cooler supposed to be part of another model of PS3? I had this woman at a shop tell me there's a 120gb version on the way possibly but I don't trust them.

And the 120GB one is rumored to be a reality since they do seem to upgrade the HDD every year. People complain about the SKU's but they are increasing the HDD sizes as well as dropping the price on the SKU's.
David Hingtgen Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Oooooh, quieter. I might have to wait for one of the newer ones. (A few months, not like a year)

Chowser Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 anyone know if the cooler versions will make it into the US release of the MGS4 PS3? I'd rather wait and get a cooler PS3, but only if it's like a month or two, if not, I'll get just the PS3 when MGS4 comes out. Lost Planet is ok, I have it on PC (got it at Target for $4.98 closeout). I just don't like playing it on the PC because you have to be hooked up to the internet to play.

Hope they don't do anything like that for consoles, cos i don't really like being online just to play single player mode. Only problem i have with my PS3 is the region coding, which is totally unecessary, i mean even HD DVD got rid of it, why not sony
eugimon Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) So, I noticed something kind of odd. I'm streaming mp3s to my PS3 and some of the album art is showing up and sometimes it's not... sometimes half the songs in an album will display with the art and the rest will show the default icon... any ideas as to why this is happening? edit: albums were originally ripped with wmp 11 Edited April 28, 2008 by eugimon

I don't get any album art on any of my MP3s at all. I use WMP11 to stream, and I embed the album art right in the MP3s themselves - my itunes has no problems seeing them, and WMP11 has no problems seeing them, but the PS3 just displays the default MP3 icon for all of them. Is there something I need to turn on for the PS3 to see/read album art?

Movies are region codes per thr Blu-ray Association, not Sony. For most of the people here that would import videos from JApan, the fact that the US and Japan are now in the same region is a plus.

Is there something I need to turn on for the PS3 to see/read album art? you know what's even more odd, when I use the PSP for remote play and look at the same files, more album art shows up for any particular album than if I browse the files directly from the PS3.

Also since i'm in the UK importing videos is a big minus
jwinges Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 So who's got the highest rank in Warhawk here? I'm a Wingman with about 6000pts.
Uxi Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) Guy in my clan is a 1st Lieutenant. He plays ALL THE TIME, though. Ranked 5000'ish. can't recall his current points. I'm a Wingman and would have to log in to tell you how many points I have. Back in November, I was: 6962, 1992 combat, 4732 Team, 583 Negative, 821 Bonus I've probably played a grand total of 6 games since then, so am not much higher now. Maybe around 7000.

David Hingtgen Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Wow, so Mortal Kombat vs Batman *is* real. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p...mp;postcount=34 Or just go right to the site: http://www.worldscollide.com/
mikeszekely Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 That's..odd? That was my initial reaction, too, but it actually makes a certain sense. I mean, after Children of the Atom, we had between X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom a Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter. Marvel's biggest rival is DC, and Street Fighter's was always Mortal Kombat. Of course, DC vs MK is over 10 years late to the party...
Gaijin Posted May 9, 2008 Author Posted May 9, 2008 Killlzone delayed to February '09 but coming along nicely: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33690.html
transfan52 Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 hmm is that the new gimped 80gb edition ps3 with no backwards compatibility?! pfft because if it is I feel sorry for you. As of right now there arent really any ps3 games worth playing that arent on other systems. The only game worth playing is mgs 4 for the ps3 on june 12th. LOL I got the cheap 500 dollar 20gb with backwards compatibility at launch. If your talking about the new 80gb ps3 with no ps2 support then sorry guys you got ripped hehe.
yellowlightman Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 Killlzone delayed to February '09 but coming along nicely: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33690.html Compared to the GoW playable footage that was released the other day, that's looking rather... plain. Eotechs in the future.
Gaijin Posted May 11, 2008 Author Posted May 11, 2008 Eotechs in the future. I'll give you that one. Its weird. I don't know why they used them. On that matter though, I love my eotech. I just want one of the new 123 battery ones. The AA one I have is a tad longer than I like.

transfan52 Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 hey guys check this link out the new trailer for MGS 4 is here! http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33853.html
Gaijin Posted May 14, 2008 Author Posted May 14, 2008 I'm now avoiding any more trailers and news for MGS4, to avoid any spoilers for the game. Less than a month!
bandit29 Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 dunno if I'll buy it or not..looks good. I've always enjoyed the gameplay mechanics of MGS but the hack story telling is annoying..
twich Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Looks like Firmware 2.35 just came out. It doesnt seem to be that major of an update, but it is out and I didnt see what it contained when it restarted my system when it downloaded. Twich
