Aegis Focker Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I'm also considering a PS3 so I thought I'd ask your guys opinion on the 2 current models. If I'm going to swap the HD for a bigger one anyway, I have a USB card reader, and I have a ps2 to play ps2 games, why would I want spent $100 extra for the 80g model? Bcs the 80gb you can play almost ps2 games.,.,. visit www.press-start.vg
bandit29 Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 In-game XMB on the way in June? llllloooonnnnnngggg overdue I guess we get trophies(like 360 achievements) now too...meh here
the white drew carey Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I guess we get trophies(like 360 achievements) now too...meh Agreed. I don't see what the big attraction is in 360's "achievements."
dizman Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I don't own a 360 so I wouldnt know but from what I hear if you get acheivements you also get points, so if you want a map pack for Halo then you dont have to pay but can use the acheivement points. Actually is a good system if thats how it works.
Keith Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I wonder if the whole "home" project got scrapped, since it's almost a year overdue.
Wes Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Agreed. I don't see what the big attraction is in 360's "achievements." Checks in your blocks, get to do everything in the game. As I've gotten older and have more money I can either play out a couple of games a year or just beat the one's that are great and go back to the ones I really like. I'm thinking now of going to the 40gb model with Walmart's sale tomorrow, as PS2 emulation it finally comming around.

Actually is a good system if thats how it works. That is absolutely not how it works. You don't get anything from achievements except gamerscore. It's not a huge deal, but it's fun and tends to be a good excuse to go back and replay the game... It's kind of the same thing as people trying to get 100% complete ratings in games.
Isamu Starkiller Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I bought Rock Band for my wife in February and her band is ranked around 49,000 / 100k on the RB site. But the reason I'm posting this is I recently made a new band.....The Deculture Club .
TheLoneWolf Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I wonder if the whole "home" project got scrapped, since it's almost a year overdue. I'm still waiting for the multimedia software that was supposed to come with the PS2 hard drive.
cobywan Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I wonder if the whole "home" project got scrapped, since it's almost a year overdue. If you're really interested in Home follow the link; It's not scrapped, just harder to get done than they expected. http://www.qj.net/PlayStation-Home-Beta-Ub...g/49/aid/120639
Alpha OTS Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Agreed. I don't see what the big attraction is in 360's "achievements." At one time I did too, and then I started acquiring some. It's a clever way to complete your games in ways you wouldn't otherwise. Crackdown is a prime example.
Gaijin Posted June 3, 2008 Author Posted June 3, 2008 Uncharted is a $39.99 deal in AMazon's Gold Box...snap it up if you didn't. Also, Wal-Mart is giving a $100 gift card to those who buy a PS3 online. If you match that with a new Sony Style credit card $100 back, that's a $200 PS3 for those looking for the cheapest deal. Or, as it's rumored, the 100 gift card thing will last through MGS4's release so you can get a MGS4 BUndle 80GB with the gift card.
the_preacher Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Ey guys, hope you can help me out with my problem. Well, from what I've read on the internet, the MGS4/PS3 Bundle will only be released in North America. But I'm from the Philippines so do any of you guys know where I could order it online and have it shipped here to the Philippines? To be honest, I've never ordered online so this will be my first time. So any trusted online stores you guys could recommend?
bandit29 Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 JP Soul Calibur IV covers..ack these just don't look right..of course I have the US version preordered but still... http://kotaku.com/5014871/rip-soul-calibur...make-sciv-cover
bandit29 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Hello? anyone? A new PLAYSTATION 3 firmware update (v2.36) will be launching soon, improving system stability when playing select PlayStation format software titles. We’re also happy to officially report that the 2.40 system software update for PS3 will include “XMB” access in-game. The update will also include “trophies,” an exciting new feature that we’ll be providing more details on soon, as well as some other new enhancements. We’ve talked about some of this on the blog previously and know that many of you can’t wait to get your hands on these features. You can expect us to share all of the official details shortly. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/06/17/...es-in-game-xmb/
Dangard Ace Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Go away. Busy playing MGS4 to deal with in game XMB.
Chowser Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 finally opened up the MGS4/PS3 bundle. Installing update 2.35 now. I'll use the same name as Xbox Live. Sarge051

Chowser Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 ok, 2.36 is now out. i just installed 2.35, now it's making me install 2.36. You can try ebay also, some people are willing to ship international.
the white drew carey Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Ummm, I don't want to look through hundreds of posts, so... Does MW have a group for Folding@home? Because I was looking for one, but I think I accidentally made one under the name MacrossWorld, and failed to get the group number...
the_preacher Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 You can order the bundle at Play-Asia ey kababayan, i checked play-asia already but the problem is what they have available is the 40gb version. i was hoping to get the 80gb as in my opinion, is much more worth the tag price.
mikeszekely Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Megaman 9? Somebody pinch me and tell me I'm not dreaming...
bandit29 Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) This is supposed to come out for the PS3/maybe the 360 later this year. Last I heard it will be download only title. I still love 2-D fighters http://kotaku.com/5018854/blazblue-makes-u...t-at-anime-expo http://blazblue.jp/us/ Edited June 23, 2008 by dejr8bud
stray Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Why exactly is Fatal Inertia out (absolute garbage!!!) and yet no Wipeout HD. Had to vent. Sigh.
twich Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Just turned in a couple of games to get enough credit to get Metal Gear Solid 4 and then I had to get Lego Indiana Jones for the XBox 360 for my son...they didnt have the PS3 version at the place.....I just tried to pair an old Nokia bluetooth headset to my PS3, and the thing works wonderfully....cant wait to use it for some MGO action with my fellow Macross Worlder's one of these days!

Aero of Steel Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Is the PS3 80gig MGS4 Bundle a limited edition?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Well although they will move and look cool, they shouldn't have gone with Vadar or Yoda. Idiots. Why not SNK and steal Hahumaru (spelling) or Yuko????? Surely...
yellowlightman Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Well although they will move and look cool, they shouldn't have gone with Vadar or Yoda. Idiots. Why not SNK and steal Hahumaru (spelling) or Yuko????? Surely... Because about five people care about SNK and about a million people care about Star Wars.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) bring back nekrid. lol Atleast he looks like fitting in. Edited June 25, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Wes Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Is the PS3 80gig MGS4 Bundle a limited edition? I think so.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I hope this is true lol http://kotaku.com/5019368/playstation-3-ow...clusive-fighter lol, that would be cool atleast,i don't know much about the character, but he does look like he packs a world of pain.
mikeszekely Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 lol, that would be cool atleast,i don't know much about the character, but he does look like he packs a world of pain. You... don't know Kratos? If you own a PS2, march into wherever you buy your PS2 games at, and pick up God of War. Now. I'll wait. Seriously, the first one's a Greatest Hits game, so it's only $20 (or less... I bought it when it came out, sold it after I beat it, and bought it back for $10 used). If you like action-platformers... heck, if you like games, you owe it to yourself to play God of War, as it's easily one of the best games available for the PS2.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) yeah i'll have to check it out now. With your review i hope he is in there. But vadar... and yoda... >_____<;;; still i guess it will be interesting to hear them talk whislt fighting them. The taunts... Edited June 25, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
bandit29 Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Some news about the next firmware update http://kotaku.com/5019450/rumor-full-240-r...d-due-around-e3 and speaking of Soul Calibur IV again ..still looks wierd
