jammy2211 Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I think the next big exclusive for PS3 is Haze, although when it's getting released is beyond me. Most places still seem pretty set on Janaury 18th, but Ubisoft have been playing silly buggers with their release date so there's still time for a huge u-turn. I think that'll be my next game too, albeit I might need to complete Zack & Wiki before buying it. I still think it could flop so I'll wait for the reviews, and I've not got time to catch up on 2007's best yet seeing as exams are here to steal my time. Hopefully I'll be getting Haze for free with an offer on my broadband anyway :P. Anywho, anyone a fan of SOCOM? That is the game which is going to define PS3 online, and is the single reason why I chose it above the Xbox 360. I really hope they don't screw this one up, but so far the signs are positive, just don't want to see it get delayed too much .
chrizkerr2 Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Guys, so I bought the audio cable http://www.amazon.co.uk/Phono-Female-3-5mm-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q8KSS0/ref=pd_ts_ce_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics and the hdmi to dvi cable http://www.amazon.co.uk/PS3-HDMI-DVI-cable/dp/B000NWQULS/ref=pd_bxgy_ce_img_b Although the HDMI cable hasent arrived yet, I'm thinking that I still need more cables... The audio cable doesnt fit into the Audio port on the PS3, so Iam confused... Can anyone tell me what plugs into what? As now I've no idea...

Hdmi (ps3) - Dvi (tv) audio (ps3) - audio (tv (pc-in) with jack)
Guest Jordan Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Theres a seperate audio jack on the PS3 aisde from the optical audio port?
Guest Jordan Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 But most HDMI to DVI convetors i've seen don't have an audio jack on them. So hows he going to get the audio?
Razz Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 According to jeux france, Uncharted 2 is already in developement. Clickage

Dante Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 So you can't not install it? The game data has be installed to the Hard Disk Drive and takes 25mins to do it.
Caris Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 The game will not take 25mins to install. Half that max.
Hero-of-Time Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 If it does take away the loading then its worth it.
jammy2211 Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Definitely great to hear companies can do stuff like that, obviously we still need to know it's gonna work but it sounds great. Shame about the loading at the start though, albeit I'm sure I could wait 10 minutes :P. Hope this happens more often though, it seems weird it's taken over a year for a game to do something like this. I'm guessing all the X360 ports are holding it back, or maybe the tech just wasn't there? *shrug*.
That Guy Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 4.8GB? What happens when I start to run out of space? Do I have to spend ages installing my games every time I want to play them?
Caris Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Uninstall games you don't play. Remember not all games install.
Guest Jordan Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah, but i have a feeling some do leave temp data on the HDD. If you play Uncharted, first time you play it or play it after playing another BD game it takes alot longer to load.
Razz Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Is heavenly sword worth £29.99? Play are selling it at that price, and was wondering how good it really is, or if it was just sony hype.
Dante Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Is heavenly sword worth £29.99? Play are selling it at that price, and was wondering how good it really is, or if it was just sony hype. I heard heavenly sword is worth buying and it has been over hyped by Sony.
Domstercool Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Heavenly Sword is a good game, just don't expect the next God of War from it though. The install thing isn't a problem, and if you are really scared of running out of space, you can cheaply buy a massive hard drive to install in your system. Unlike other companies you don't need any fancy bollocks that's overpriced to add on to your PS3. 4.8 is nothing, RR7 was like 6gb and that took about 90 secs to install, you also got a lovely namco game to play while it installed. That install was optional too, some are some aren't.
chrizkerr2 Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 HDMI ftw! Cable just arrived, now everything looks pretty Managed to sort the audio out, by using the red and white cables that came with the PS3 and plugging them into the ports next to me DVI output.
Domo Kun Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Having to install games really shouldn't be seen as a problem. I uninstall games I'm not playing on the PC just to make it run faster. And if you can keep the save files when you uninstall then I the only fault I can think of is it wastes 5 minutes of your life installing it.
Chuck Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I realise why the hdmi-dvi cable was £2. The postage is £5.

Shouldn't really have to put up with it on a console though should we? It's not too big of an issue though anyway.
Columnar Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 How come the PS3 version of Devil May Cry 4 is more expensive on EVERY internet site than the 360 one - sometimes £10+??!! Why should we have to pay more? The biggest joke is on Gameplay's website. The Ltd Ed is £32.99 on Xbox 360 but if you want it on PlayStation 3 you have to pay £44.99!!!. I'm new to this PS3 lark but that is an absolute bloody outrage I tell you - an outrage!
