*sigh* well I set it up and it works (yay etc) but certain people within my household are concerned about the voltage of the console and want me to refrain from using it until they've checked out the lead and the voltage etc properly... >>' I've tried telling them but meh *shrugs* all I know is that the console is 120V and the UK lead (as well as the US one that comes in the box as standard) it came with has a range of 10V -250V which is the one that the guy I bought it off had been using with it for over a year so I would assume that if it wasn't supposed to work with it then the PS3 wouldn't be working now. Anyone got any helpful information regarding the voltage? Dom, you've been using a USA PS3 for a good while now on a UK adaptor and you've had no problems I assume? if so, what lead do you use with yours? Meh either way I won't be playing with it today lol nvm at least I have it now ^^ *goes back to playing on 360 for the time being*

My USA 60GB PS3 has finally arrived! Haven't opened it yet but I'll no doubt be posting here again once I've confirmed it's working etc.
-
Lol I didn't realise, guess this threads been semi-inactive for a while I'm really starting to get back into this now, I just beat Feros, that bit at the end got kinda annoying and repetitive though, especially as I was at low health and had no medi-gels >>' but it was worth getting past as the game is starting to pick up again now. ^^
-
Hmm but storyline-wise DMC2 still takes place after the original DMC yes? and DMC4 is set between the events of the first and 2... So does this mean that DMC5 will carry on after 2? or will it come after 3,1,4 but before 2? (I think that makes sense)
-
£360 >>' gonna be treading carefully financially for a month :P it came with a game and a blu-ray disc though, Motorstorm & Underworld Evolution, I still think it was a reasonably good buy seeing as they have sold for more and Pal 60gbs (with only software backwards compatibility) regularly seem to be going for £400 + often for just the machine. :S
-
Correct me if I'm wrong but the pink blocks is a sign that the grafx chip is faulty or something. :S
-
USA 60Gb PS3 get!
-
Buy it on eBay, theres probably loads of em going cheap on there by now, that way even if you do get it and you don't like, it's not so bad. *back on topic* Never played the original Fable, was curious about it but never bothered, I haven't seen anything on Fable 2 but I'm guessing it's like the same or similar to the original but bettererer? ... So I may get it, depending on how many other games I still have left to complete by then.
-
Both sound kind of nonsensical to me, plus quite a few Nintendo characters just would not seem right in a kart, SSB works cos it's fighting but a kart game? nah... they should just stick to Mario Kart so they can focus on that and hopefully make it as good as it can be.
-
O.o I thought you bought a 360 arcade... *back on topic* I'm really starting to get back into this game now, I decided not to play it for a while as each time i did I would go off on sidequests that would turn out to be a waste of time due to not having enough charm / intimidate points, but now I'm just focusing on the main game (I've heard from many people that the majority of sidequests aren't that good anyway) but yeah now that I'm focusing on the main game I'm really enjoying it again.
-
Ah, somehow I thought it might, just wanted some sort of confirmation, thanks, I'll do the sensible thing and give it a shelf of it's own with plenty of ventilation.
-
Ah cool thanks one final (possibly stupid) question... would it be possible to stack my PS3 on top of my 360 without risk of damaging the 360? or is the PS3 just too damn heavy for me to be even considering that?
-
Ah cool, I guess that means I'll need to re-download all the firmware updates etc again though? But I'm guessing that shouldn't take long.
-
Woot! USA PS3 60GB in as new condition get! managed to get one with Motorstorm, and one Bluray - Underworld Evolution, all for around £360 which I don't think is too bad considering the varying prices Pal PS3 60GB's are going for, the ones I've seen are selling for even more than I paid for my US one. :S Picked up a HDMI 1.3 a cable while I was at it and a cheap copy of Ninja Gaiden Sigma. A couple of questions though, is there anything I need to know about the US PS3 thats different to the Pal PS3? I went for a US one due to it's superior backwards compatibility, I know it's region free for PS3 games and region coded for PS2 games / most Bluray but is there anything else I need to know about it specs wise? Also, it'll have some data allready on it from the previous owner, he said he's updated it to the lastest firmware though, so I assume all I will need to delete is his PSN tag, game saves and net connection data and no need for a complete factory reset or anything?

Amen to that, and hmm wouldn't a US version work like a PAL version anyway? I can't really see any real drawbacks... -

Source? O.o -
I don't know if this is old or not but it made me lol so... http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/413257 Edit - ah just checked, seems it is but still worth a watch. :P
-
I've just completed the "Eden" stage in Rez ^^ <3 that final boss battle = made of epic.
-
Imo, it had soul but once it was all done and completed it felt like you'd just played through a larger version of OOT which is no bad thing but the series definitely needs something new which will no doubt come across in the next installment. Back on topic - My quest in obtaining a 60GB USA PS3 continues, but with any luck I have have one in under a week, if not I'll keep trying but will eventually probably give up and just wait for the PAL 80GB Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 bundle.
-
ah I assumed that June 11th was just for Europe and that US would get it months before due to Europe getting shafted on a release date yet again. But either way June 11th is cool, gives me time to actually get the machine. and hmm yes thats another plus about the PS2 games as I hate borders, as for RPG's hmm there may be a couple, if there were any US exclusives in the Tales of... series then definitely.
-
Ah cool thanks m_fergy, Dom, Jordan I think I'll still go for it if I can get hold of one, because for PS3 games clearly it's good as can get US versions earlier, PS2 games... I don't want to play a huge amount of them but I think a lot of NTSC games tend to be even cheaper than PAL? I may also at some point wish to pick up one or two NTSC only games so thats cool, Blu Ray... I don't watch a huge amount of films atm at all so thats not so bad, could get some releases earlier and again slightly older films will no doubt be cheaper. Other than that I think I'll be good to go, unless theres anything I need to know about stuff in the settings menus that I would need to change etc due ot it being an import, I would assume they are largely the same though regardless of region. Assuming I get it, I'll want to pick up MGS4 in March? (I heard that was the US release date, unless I'm wrong?) I guess the best place to get that from would be VGplanet, play-asia etc?
-
I'm actually considering going this route too now, I had a look around and might be able to get one for a good price, is it all USA 60GB's that are full backwards compatible though? Also I read that it's completely region free (for PS3 and PS2 games I assume and not Bluray films) and that you can use a UK power supply with it so no need for a step-down converter. If all these things are true then are there any downsides to getting a USA PS3? O.o cos I can't see any atm lol.

To date I've completed... Metroid Prime - 3+ times at least (Normal x1 100% items / scans) (Hard x2 100% items / scans) Metroid Prime 2 : Echoes - 2 times (Normal x1 100% items / scans) (Hard x1 100% items / scans) Metroid Prime 3 : Corruption - 1 time only (Normal x1 100% items / scans) One day I plan to go back and complete Metroid Prime 3 on Hard mode and I will note that my files on the original Metroid Prime were obtained a few years back, when I didn't have a job, so I had a lot more time on my hands, but I enjoyed each and every file I have played on each game in the series. My second 100% hard file on Metroid Prime I think I obtained within 24 hours, playing almost solidly and got a time of around 10 - 12 hours which I was rather pleased with at the time.

Just because...
