Hi, I currently have a 60GB PS3 with the backwards compatability. I've had it for 2 years this christmas. I'm rather worried about how noisy it's getting as of late. With all these YLOD reports going around it has got me worried. The problem I have is that if it breaks i'll have to fork out £150 to Sony for a refurb which will probably break again after 6 months. So should I sell mine and get a 250GB slim? Tbh the slim looks meh to me, but I don't know if I want to risk my PS3 breaking and paying £150 when I can pay like only £50-60 for a slim. I don't really use the PS2 compatability as I have a PS2. The memory readers do get a little bit of use but that's only because I have a 4GB CF lying around. I just don't know what to do ...

Just found out my 1st semster is done untill 11th Jan xD so i'll be free for any PSN nights that involve Burnout or LBP or possibly GTA. At least until christmas when I get more games :P.

Just out of curiosity what courses are you all doing? I'm on a Computer Games Technology course but I have the option to switch to animation and visualisation at the end of my 1st year. Programming is seeming more and more tedious the more I do of it.

Ours in in the process of being decorated as I speak, hopefully it'll be done soon and I can post a pic xD.

The only older game I have that's worth playing is Burnout Paradise and even then I don't have Big Surf Island x_x i'm a poor student ... scratch that i'm just a student ;P. Never really tried GTA's online mode and for some odd reason I cannot recall the rest of my games from here in uni O.o.

I'll need some new games before I can consider playing, not had new ones in ages. Nobody plays the older games anymore :P.

Omg I Need to fix my PSP quickly so I can play this >.<. Stupid analogue stick has a mind of it's own since I bought a replacement case. Will have to solder it to the motherboard to solve this -_-. Either way I shall play this game >:3.

Gah, yet another really good PSN game that I can't afford >.<. I so need a job soon so I can buy all these things. I'm missing out on so much.

Hi I am wanting to buy some compressed air to clean my pc, my mums and my ps3. I have seen some in Asda for like £5 each but that was like months ago so it might be cheaper now. Anyway I found these on ebay, would these be ok or should I just buy the ones from Asda? The feedback says it's good but I dunno the cans look kinda dodgy and cheap to me. What's your opinion? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-PACK-COMPRESSED-AIR-DUSTER-CLEANER-400ml-SPRAY-3-99_W0QQitemZ230351523689QQihZ013QQcategoryZ162QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

OMG ... WANT! XD

O.o hope it's ok. I'm worried about mine as the fan goes faster sooner now like after 10 mins or less. I've read that means it could be on it's way out but i'm hoping it's just dust that I can get out. Mine's a 60GB Launch one.

Already got you on my list Flameboy ^^. I added you a few weeks ago as you were meant to help me get the platinum :3. My fault though as I haven't been on much over the past few weeks so sorry about that. I'll gladly help you get those trophies you need . Don't think I can help with DLC ones though as I have none, only the free stuff.

I don't have Big Surf Island unfortunately :/. I only have the free dlc they gave us and nothing else. I'm a poor person :P. I wish they'd release the PSN cards here as it would make it so much easier. I'll add you ^^.

So is there going to be any meetups soon? I'm extremely bored sitting around the house and it would be fun ^^. I only have Little Big Planet, Burnout Paradise and GTA 4. I still need to get my platinum on Burnout all I need is to invite a friend >:3.

Racing really bores me. But every year my dad makes me pick a horse I usually just randomly pick one never wins lol. Aintree Race Course is like 5-10 mins away by car from mine it gets really chaotic around there. Almost impossible to get a bus into town for the traffic ¬_¬ this year though they have them on divert so all is well ^^.

I wish I knew enough php to help but i'm only just learning it now. I could ask my college teacher since for one of my projects I'm making a site in php and will probably want to do something similar to this. If I find out i'll post back here ^^.

ok since nobody could help me come up with an idea here ¬_¬, lol only joking, I have decided that I might make a text based web game using probably php and mysql, maybe some flash too. Now could anyone help me come up with a theme for this game like neopets is obviously pets and monsters game is about vampires and werewolves. There's also the chance that i might make this using Ruby as my teacher says it is good to use also. Let me know any ideas. ^^ I was surprised not to get an replies last time you are all usually so helpful. I could just go the other way completely and decide to make a hombrew app using lua on the PSP. But i'm like 90% towards this game idea.

Hi, I have just been asked to come up with an idea for my IVA project in college. I am enrolled on the National Diploma In Programming With Java and .NET course. I have to come up with some idea for a program and make it, I can make it using any programming language including, C++, mySQL, actionscript in flash, e.c.t. But i only really have experience in using Java, Flash and Visual Basic. I can't seem to come up with an idea for a program. Other people last year made mySQL databases and programs to interact with them. They also made web browsers for specific things. I'm just stuck on what to do. My friends are making things like text based games. I did have an idea to make a dice roller and stat recorder for adventure books. This would have been made in java and put on a mobile phone to be more useful. The thing is that doesn't seem like much to do and kind of boring. Can people here please help me and come up with some ideas to help get me thinking? Thanks ^^

kk I forgot about ImgBurn i had it installed a while ago and it was brilliant, i'll give it a try, a dvd-rw howver might be a bit harder for me to get, i'll try to get one though. Thanks for the help i'll try to report back soon.

Hi, recently i have been trying to burn things to dvd+r's that my mum bought me, the computer says it burns properly and then when i try to run the discs in a pc or dvd player if it is a movie the drive it's in makes weird noises like it can't read the disc, which is what i think is happening as nothing loads and windows says there is no disc in the drive. I have used dvd-r's in the past and they seem to work but my drive says it supports + and - r's. Anyone got any ideas what's up and how to fix it? I have run out of -r's and have a big load of +r's. I will get a friend to test one of the discs in their drive but i have a feeling it is something to do with my pc.

i couldn't see a new game option just resume game which takes me to croft manor, but you saying new game made me notice the profile option so i made a new profile instead and that worked just means i'll have to redo croft manor another time when i can be bothered, and it is a great game having only ever played the ps1 tomb raiders this is like woa . Thanks for your help. I feel kind of stupid not noticing the profile option :P.

Hi, i just recently bought tomb raider anniversary. The problem is i have completed croft manor and can't seem to get onto the peru level at all. I read somewhere that when you walk out the music room you have completed the manor but she just stays on that level. When i exit the manor and click resume game it restarts the manor meaning i have to do all the puzzles again and there is no sign of any peru level option. How can i get on the peru level without having to use the all levels cheat? Please does anyone have to answer, sure the manor level is good but it gets a bit boring after a while :P.

This isn't even on, i'm not having it, i mean sure my internet might get limited to 5Mb, but i download quite a bit. I'm phoning them soon to threaten to leave see if they offer me anything if not, goodbye virgin media. Was well better before virgin took over, bring back telewest.

I didn't know which section to post this but go here. http://wii.qj.net/Sony-and-Link-wait-what-/pg/49/aid/83095 What do you make of this?

I have only played, VII, and X properly, played abit of IX and GBA CC, I also own X-2 but haven't touched it yet. I like both VII and X, but VII seemed to have a better storyline. I also bought VII for £2 brand new in a virgin shop's clearance section
