LegoMan1031 Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 I dont know if Metal Gear is coming out in the US first or not, but if it is get it from VGP If not I use Gameplay and normally get games a day before they hit the shops Yer i agree with the last comment. I tend to always use gameplay for pre-orders and they have quite often came day before release! (such a good feeling when it happens, hehe).
Guest Stefkov Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 What's everyones' experience of pre-ordering on the internet? Are there any websites that you can guarantee that you'll get the game the day it comes out? I want to pre-order Metal Gear 4. I preordered Phantom Hourglass and Warioware on amazon using supersaver delivery, Warioware came on the day of release but Phantom Hourglass took a week or so after release! Amazon suck for delivery. Hate amazon. I've never even bothered pre-ordering from them. Go to specialist sites shopto.net gameplay.com gamestation.co.uk game.com play.com The first two I order nearly all my games from. Always get it the day before release and free delivery. The other day I turned around and noticed a PS3 sat under my 360. For a split moment I'd totally forgotten that I'd bought one and wondered what it was. That's what not playing it in a while does to you...¬_¬
Intensity Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Gonna go through with a PS3 with GTA IV in a couple of months. Got a HD TV so a HDMI and Blue Ray Console appeals to me more. Added to the fact that most of my mates with 360's have had torrid times with Microsoft support. Put it this way, each have sent their 360's back a minimum of 2 times lol, kinda put me off...

Yeh, also in my opinion they will all own a PS3 eventually, it's just a matter of time. (i'm talking about my mates btw).
Domo Kun Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 I'm quite worried about having investing in a ps3 incase it flops, but it seems most games are multiplatform now. I wish they'd just make one single platform... arg... Nationalize the games industry anyone?
ReZourceman Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Amazon suck for delivery. It may not be Amazons fault but I just found out when my PS3 was delivered it was left outside the door.
Domo Kun Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Ah, that's the delivery service's fault, not amazon's. My external harddrive was left under my rubbish bin by some idiot of a postman! Actually, amazon replace anything that gets lost in the post. When Phantom Hourglass took its sweet time I e-mailed them asking where it was and they said if it didn't arrive in the next few days they'd send another. Nice. The Patapon demo is on the playstation store! I'm not overly impressed actually... I don't think I'll bother with it unless it's cheap somewhere. I ordered singstar from amazon and it's taking its sweet time... I may jump boat to play.com.
m_fergy Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Never played on my PS3 for months now Turned it on last night to see if there is any new stuff to download and I had totally forgot about "Everybodys Golf" I got the Jap demo ages ago and couldnt really play on it but the English version is great. That will be my next buy for the PS3 Anyone know if there will be online multiplayer ?
Domo Kun Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Patapon got 9.2 on IGN. Maybe I wasn't impressed by the demo because it was set too early on in the game? The levels were very linear... hmm...
Fandango Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Just finished the first chapter in Disgaea, great fun! Love the humor in the game, Flonne is quite funny also! Game-play wise it can be a bit confusing, I still don't understand how to get your combos up aside from destroying Geo Cubes on a map, and don't even get me started on the whole Item World thing Anyone who has a PSP should get the game though, so far for me it's better then FFT but then again for some reason I could never get into that game really.
ReZourceman Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Anyone who has a PSP should get the game though Fact. To be completely honest its probably one of the best games Ive ever played. Literally the last like 10 hours or so I havnt even gone forward with the story, Ive just been levelling up items and stuff. There is a strategy guide available Ebay and stuff, its amazing! I can tell you basically in re to those things. Geo Panels ; If you destroy a geo block thing when its on top of a geo panel it will change the colour of that geo panel, and every geo panel the same colour as the panel UNLESS its the same colour. Example, if you destroy a red block on a red panel, nothing will happen. Destroy a blue one on a red panel, and all red panels will change to blue. If there is another geo block on the same colour panels, then when they change colour it will destroy that one too, and then when they've finished changing colours they will change colour again for the new one, and this continues and continues to make big combos. The item world levels up your items. You can leave with "Mr Gencys Exit" or every 10 levels. Try levelling up crap items first.
Domo Kun Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Can anyone make a must-have list of PS3 games?
ReZourceman Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Can anyone make a must-have list of PS3 games? Uncharted Call of Duty 4 (Dual platform)
That Guy Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Anyone going to pick Unreal Tournament this Friday? I haven't bought a PS3 game since I got the system so on the look out for a new game.
Fandango Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Can anyone make a must-have list of PS3 games? Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted, Resistance:FOM, Folk-Lore, Warhawk and maybe Heavenly Sword are all decent exclusive titles on the PS3, probably missing one or two though.
Strider Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Can anyone make a must-have list of PS3 games? Based on if you don't have a 360. Uncharted Resistance:FOM Warhawk Call of Duty 4 Motorstorm Ratchet and clank Heavenly Sword Devil may cry 4 Burnout Paradise Resi 5 (29/03/08) Time Crisis 4 (28/03/08) Metal Gear (04/04/08) GTA (29/04/08) Haze (9/05/08) Not really all 'must haves' but good either way.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Anyone going to pick Unreal Tournament this Friday? I haven't bought a PS3 game since I got the system so on the look out for a new game. I was going to but I want to see how far off the 360 version is.
Noodleman Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Based on if you don't have a 360. Uncharted Resistance:FOM Warhawk Call of Duty 4 Motorstorm Ratchet and clank Heavenly Sword Devil may cry 4 Burnout Paradise Resi 5 (29/03/08) Time Crisis 4 (28/03/08) Metal Gear (04/04/08) GTA (29/04/08) Haze (9/05/08) Not really all 'must haves' but good either way. There is no way Resi will be out at the end of March.

Thanks guys! Nah I don't have a 360. This makes my wishlist- Uncharted, COD4, Assassin's Creed, Singstar, Metal Gear 4, Haze, GTA 4, Resi. I'm on the fence for- Devil May Cry, Ratchet and Clank and Resistance FOM. Oh and is Metal Gear confirmed for 4/4/08? I'd give up my own mother for that game.l
Hero-of-Time Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Oh and is Metal Gear confirmed for 4/4/08? I'd give up my own mother for that game.l Nah. I think the latest rumour for a MGS4 release is June. For DMC4 and Ratchet and Clank download the demos. Ratchet is an amazing game IMO and well worth your money.
Daft Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 I'm a bit ignorant on the PS3 front and I'm looking to get one soon so I'm just wondering if there were any rumors of an impending price drop or new SKUs? Also if I bought one now what are the chances of them implementing backward compatibility?
Guest Stefkov Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Probably no possibility on the Back compat. If you want that get the 60gig which'll be hard to find or just pick up a PS2. The latter would be the easier option, although I'm not sure what the range of games the 60gig can play. Still just get a PS2, they were £50 in Asda last year at one point, surely they must be cheaper now. MGS4 for June? Sounds ace.
seamus_aran Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 There will probably be a new SKU soon. Now that they've moved all production of the Cell Processor to 65mm, reduce costs further. I'm expecting a new SKU before June. Still, 45mm will make it even cheaper...

Oxigen_Waste Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 God of War: Chains of Olympus seems to be as good as it promised. Let's wait and see.
