Ah so it's still probably best to get the US ltd ed of MGS4 anyway?
-
Ah right, so even though I have a USA PS3 (which I should be playing properly for the first time tomorrow) I should still preferably go for buying UK games? Which is fine as it's region free for PS3 games as far as I'm aware but region locked for downloadable content? hmm ok, I'll go for the Pal version then, thanks Owen.
-
I may be getting this, considering trading in Motorstorm and an xbox 360 peripheral that I don't use anymore for it, I may play Motorstorm first briefly but tbh I think uncharted is more my type of game.
-
Anyone know the best place to pre-order the USA version of MGS4 ltd ed?
-
I think plasmas / projection tv's are the worst potentially affected with burn in. and LCD is supposed to be the most resistant, afaik, but yes it could well be a serious problem.

Asshole, end of.

Yw ^^ I'll post more if I find any.

Google image search is you friend failing that, search for "videogame sprite archives" or something, have a look you may be surprised.

Hmm but Suda 51 (who is involved with NMH) was involved with Killer 7 yes? also made by Grasshopper who are owned by Capcom (I assumed) who also published the game, thats why I grouped TT under Capcom. Anyways my point was it would be a character from a different game appearing in SCIV if it happened so I'm not sure where they would stand on it. *back on topic* If all the Wii is gonna get from the SC series is another legends game then they might as well not bother, a new fighting game made specifically for Wii would be better but I doubt that will happen due to poor sales of SC Legends.
-
Actually that would pwn, not sure how Capcom would feel about lending one of their characters to Namco though but I'm sure it could be done.
-
Still it would have been a better idea for them to have made a cut-down version of SCIV with gesture controls for Wii rather than the travesty that was legends. Heck they could have even had Luke Skywalker or something as an exclusive Star Wars character.
-
Seconded.

Cos I cba to phone em anyways it doesn't matter now because apparently it's not just about the difference in voltage, there are some other factors too, the person who's advising against using it without a voltage converter is a more than qualified electrician and most of the time is right anyway. So I'm getting the adaptor whether I need it or not, the upside is running it with the adaptor should in theory make the console last longer anyway as the insides of USA consoles are made to completely different standards than UK ones so I guess running it at it's original intended voltage will help. Anyways gonna order it tomorrow then I can run my PS3 through it "safely" and get to the important part... Playing the damn machine! Roll on June 12th! *edit* Also, wheres the best place to buy USA PS2 games and Blurays from besides eBay? I may get the majority of the ones I want from there but just wanted to know if there are any good import sites for them.
-
I know lol but hopefully the confirmation from SCEA will be enough and if not then I'll just have to run it through the converter that I'll be supplised with not that there will be anything to convert but heh nm. :P
-
I'm not, just got some people to convince, anyways I found this... http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=274798 (has picture of the internal power supply) and this... http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4908&ref=y (article contains official confirmation by SCEA -that the power supply is universal) quote "We have confirmation from SCEA now that the power supply inside the Playstation 3 is, in fact, universal. The power supply supports 100 to 240 volts at 50 to 60 Hertz, which is useable in all modern power grids -- including Europe. Although European markers require a different physical plug for their infrastructure, there is no need to replace the power supply." So in theory all should be fine now. *update* E-mailed SCEA quoting what they said in the article, hopefully they'll confirm it for me. *awaits reply*
-
Bleh... I may have to open it up then to confirm it *sigh* so pointless and needless though, I've looked for official confirmation too which would save me from opening it up, if anyone finds official confirmation let me know, otherwise I may just use a voltage converter even though it's needless...
-
Yeah I have already turned it on and it works thats whats so frustrating, but like I say, if theres official confirmation anywhere online stating that the power supply is universal then that will solve it.
-
I kniow, but it's not me I need to convince thats why I want to see if i can get official confirmation from somewhere online which would solve the problem.
-
ah so that bit must refer to the EU models as I've read that some of those aren't universal in some small cases but the USA ones are.
-
Thanks Dom hmm I dk about the last bit in that paragraph though... "Some consoles, however, read 220v~240v 1.8a which are not universal. The power consumption is approximately 280W." It's so annoying because thats damn close to official confirmation but I need it to be official so that the people telling me I need a step down will finally be convinced otherwise.
-
Hmm surely though if it does auto adjust the voltage and the converter is set to the same voltage then it will essentially be like a pass-through anyway so it shouldn't matter? Personally I want to run it without a step down and am only going to be doing so to ease other peoples minds who live in the same household. Is there any official confirmation from Sony anywhere that the US PS3 60GB model has a universal power supply and thus no need for a seperate converter? if there is offical confirmation then that would make things a heck of a lot simpler, thanks.

so, I got one of those cables to connect my wii to my monitor...
S.C.G replied to seamus_aran's topic in General Chit Chat
Hmm a VGA switchbox you mean? yeah you can get them but you may need to pay a reasonable amount for a decent one that works and that will last if your gonna be using it a lot, I bought one a while back, I think it cost around £70 at the time :S it was when I only had a single monitor and wanted to play my 360 in a decent resolution so I would have to switch between that and PC. Now though I have a HDTV which I use as a PC monitor a lot of the time and when I want to play my 360 etc I flick a switch so that the PC displays on the old monitor while I'm playing, so it's served as quite a useful box even though is was initially expensive, as for the VC games I'm not sure but they might not support the resolution on that cable, I know a lot don;t even though they say they do. I used to have that problem too except now I have all my "lesser" connections (component, composite) upscaled via HDMI and since then I haven't had the problem. -
I know but there are other people in my household who are concerned about the possibility of it spontaneously combusting I should be able to get one for free though so it's no big deal hopefully, sooner it's sorted, the sooner I can forget about it and play the machine. I only mainly wanted it for MGS4 but well, I know there will be a few PS2 games that I will want to play and I want to play them on the version of the machine that reportedly has the best backwards compatability out of the various models, otherwise I would have just waited for the Pal MGS4 bundle but now I have it I'm just glad I've got one. Seriously though, I'm so gonna get one of those Dual Shock III pads, I haven't even played the console yet and I know the pad is already annoyingly light, just held a Wii remote with no batteries in one hand and the sixaxis in the other and quite honestly, theres not much difference in weight.
-
Hmm seems I'm gonna need to wait another day before properly playing with my American PS3, gonna get a step-up converter for it just to be on the safe side so that I know that it's at the correct voltage. S'ok though, still got loads of 360 games to play lol but I'm still looking forward to having a blast on Ninja Gaiden Sigma.
