Keith Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Damn you guys with your malware & viruses sites! But seriously, I'd gladly pay sony for some kind of download that would legitimately let me play my legally purchased import PS1 & 2 games. Edited February 17, 2009 by Keith
Wes Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 What's this malware stuff? I can't hear you over how awesome my Opera is. There isa ps2 emulator out there based off the pscx project that I hear does pretty decent. Been meaning to try it just haven't set down and done it. I've only today got around to trying out Windows 7.
Roy Focker Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Not sure if anyone is aware of this but you can now view Hulu video with the PS3. Not sure how long this has been taking place. I remember not being able to. Does anyone find MGO Survior modes not that very balanced? I join a team our levels are 7-9 we get paired against one that is 14-16.
dizman Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Balance....in survival.....HA! There is no such thing, I love when a team that has won 4 rounds goes againts a team just starting out, easy 50 points.
Keith Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I'd like survival better if they removed level raising/falling for those matches. Nothing better than falling in against those ringers, and losing 2 levels before you realized what happened.
bandit29 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) dumbass of the day "We are also hearing continued speculation that Sony is working on a non-Blu-ray PS3 console, which could enable them to make the aforementioned hardware price reduction. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/ps3-...e-of-days-janco ya the current games wouldn't work...please talk of price cut in the next couple of days...rumors of course.

According to these guys: http://videogames.yahoo.com/feature/ps3-wi...redicts/1279759 they are predicting that it might only be the 80gb that get's the lower price tag. Oh well doesn't matter now since I bought my 160gb one already.
anime52k8 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 hmm... $299? really tempting. I've been seeing nothing but Killzone 2 ads for the last week, and now I desperately want one. I played the first game back on the PS2 and really liked it, and the new one just looks awesome. I've already got a 360 though, and I've got a lot of Macross related stuff to save for... Video games and blu-ray, or Macross goods? not good at decision making. help!

Video games and blu-ray, or Macross goods? not good at decision making. help! You can find some crazy deals for movies on Blu-ray on Amazon. Scary deals.. I wouldn't fret if you didn't buy it now, the PS3 release calender in the next 12 months is pretty much "screaming" awesome, but many exclusives aren't rolling out anytime soon. And the longer you wait, the more like you'll get Killzone 2 at the Platinum Hits price.
Uxi Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 lol isn't gonna be no non-Blu-ray version. They wouldn't be able to play 95% of the games. There are maybe 2-3 games that are both optical/download. A few dozen mediocre PSN games.... BD-ROM costs Sony maybe $30 bucks per console...
Smiley424 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 $299 is a nice price for the PS3 and I would be all over this, but the announcement of the Yamato SDF-1 and Bandai Macross Quarter pics have put any thoughts of the PS3 on the back burner for now.

badboy00z Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Anyone playing the RE5 demo? I love the melee. I wish we can do it without prompts.
Vegas Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 anybody played killzone 2 here? i tried for a couple of minutes and the graphics is just spectacular but i had to stop as i was getting dizzy playing
dizman Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Yup I played KZ2 for alittle while yesterday, looks good but the story is a generic space marine vs space nazi thing. The controls have an odd feel about em that I love, I suppose to give the feeling of weight.
mikeszekely Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) So I'm a little wired tonight, and figured I'd try to wind down a bit by playing a console game for a change (I've been really into PC lately). It's been ages since I've bought a new console game, so after some thought I decided to give WipEout HD another go. Now, I'd been stuck on Headthrash, with two points to go to unlock speed freak. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's thought that WipEout HD is hard, right? Well, imagine my surprise to see that there was an update. I downloaded the update, WipEout restarts, and there's a note about what they changed... the difficulty! Specifically, they added two new levels of difficulty. The previous only difficulty is actually the hardist, Elite. They added Novice and Skilled modes. You don't have to restart your game, either. You can toggle the difficulty before any race by hitting square. This is great news, as far as I'm concerned. I've been a fan of the WipEout series since the original, and even the Phantom tracks in WipEout XL didn't give me as much grief as HD. In fact, I'd noticed that some of the Time Trials and Fastest Lap events were easier on the same tracks in Pulse. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'd more or less shelved the game because I was racing darn near perfect (zero collisions, just trying to find the best lines and best spots to use the turbo) and not even ranking a Bronze. I'll take it down to Skilled and get back into the game. I wish we could get Studio Liverpool to release more content (ships, tracks, etc) for it, though. Pure had a ton of content free content, and Pulse had a good bit of premium content, if I'm not mistaken. I'd love to see them bring back all the missing teams and some tracks from the older WipEout games. And yes, Sony, if you're reading this, I would pay money for it. So get to it already!

Vegas Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Can the PS3 play .avi or .mkv files? nope. try tversity it will stream them on your ps3 from your pc. thats what ive been doing
wm cheng Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Or try PS3 Media Server (I was using TVersity before, but this is much better!) http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/ Even supports folder.jpg and video file coverart. Plus it plays way more different formats.
badboy00z Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Will the quality of the video be the same as if it's playing on the computer? How exactly does it work? Do I d/l to my computer and it'll connect to the PS3 via the internet? Edited March 2, 2009 by badboy00z

How exactly does it work? Do I d/l to my computer and it'll connect to the PS3 via the internet? quality will be the same, but take note small rez videos will not look good on big tv screens (e.g. "17 to "52). youll see some pixelation. Edited March 2, 2009 by Vegas
wm cheng Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Its rock solid stable - no loss connections at all (I do have a wired Ethernet connection to the router though). Best part is that its able to stream DTS and DD 5.1 to the PS3 which was previously downmixed to Dolby Surround. I have it streaming 1080p MKV files with DTS 5.1 to my 100" screen in the basement being projected by a Panasonic PT-AE2000 (1080p) projector and the picture quality is almost indistinguishable from blu-ray!
Uxi Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I've done Twonky and Tversity. For my macross F mkv rips, I used MKV2VOB

bandit29 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) Ninja Gaiden II Sigma headed to the PS3 this fall The game will have PSN support as well as new content. In Ninja Gaiden Σ, it was possible to play as voluptuous character Rachel for some of the missions. In Ninja Gaiden Σ it will be possible to play Dead or Alive's Ninjutsu expert Ayane as well as Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa — which makes sense as Hayabusa and Ayane are friends. http://kotaku.com/5171282/xbox-360-exclusi...i-coming-to-ps3 The first one was okay but nothin great. How is this one on the 360? Edited March 17, 2009 by bandit29
mikeszekely Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 The first one was okay but nothin great. How is this one on the 360? Better than the first one, but not as good as, say, Devil May Cry 4.
Gabe Q Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 What's up with the price drop? In your expert opinions, will there be one soon? Should I just bite the bullet and buy one now? I'm really itchin to play Valkyria Chronicles and Disgaea 3.
mikeszekely Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 What's up with the price drop? In your expert opinions, will there be one soon? Should I just bite the bullet and buy one now? I'm really itchin to play Valkyria Chronicles and Disgaea 3. In my opinion, as someone who worked at Gamestop for 4 years, yeah, they kind of do need to do a price drop to stay competitive. As far as the when goes, I'd say no sooner than E3, which will be at the beginning of June, and no later than when God of War 3 drops. Best guess? Holiday 2009.
mikeszekely Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 New Gundam Game coming to PS3. I only have two questions: 1.) Is it going to suck like Crossfire did? 2.) Why don't they just make a PS3 Gundam Battle game? Gundam Battle Universe is probably the best Gundam game to date, even if 60% of it was Gundam Battle Chronicle again. Imagine, if you will, a Gundam Battle game with the 0079, 0083, 0088, 0089, and 0093 eras from GBU. Now add eras for 123, 133, and 153. Then, why not add separate eras for the AU Gundam series? Once you beaten everything with every faction, it'd be fun to take out the Big Zam with the Turn A, or smack around the Wing Gundam with Char's Zaku. Imagine this ultimate Gundam Battle game with graphics like only the PS3 can do.
Keith Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 All the fun of the Gundam Battle series, Plus PS3 Graphics, Plus beefed up online PSN play? that's absolute crazy talk, who would ever pay money for that!
badboy00z Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Anyone play Dead Space? I got it for my birthday (today) but haven't played it yet. I heard nothing but good about it. The controls are going to take some getting used to as I've been playing RE5 with the RE4 control settings.
