That Guy Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 So who bought Unreal then? *Raises hand* Should be online for some games at some point if anyone else got it, although i don't have a headset for the PS3 so wont be able to talk.

Hero-of-Time Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Why the hell did nobody tell me that a PSP demo for God of War is on the US PSN store!! *downloads*
Domo Kun Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Why the hell did nobody tell me that a PSP demo for God of War is on the US PSN store!! *downloads* Ahh!? How do you get onto the US PSN Store? I'm registered with the UK one...
Hero-of-Time Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Just put a US address in with another account. I used California as the state and 90210 as the zip code, that will work for you aswell.
Domo Kun Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Thanks! I've signed up a new US account, but I can't find the God of War demo... It's deffinately the US store because there's a Harvey Birdman demo which isn't on the UK one... Ah crap, and now I just tried to download the Harvey Birdman demo and... 'The connected PSP system is activated with a different account If you perform this operation the certificate for this account will become invalid Do you wish to continue?' Have you had the same problem? Will this make my UK account invalid? Edit: I found the God of War demo, but should I download it, considering the above?

Owen Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 I havent transferred it to my PSP yet. I had the same problem, just agree to the invalid thing and it will work...then your UK PSP demos/downloads WON'T work! Once you've played the GOW demo and want to go back to your UK stuff, download a PSP demo from the UK store and transer it to your psp (Like last time agree to the invalid thing) then your UK stuff will work and your USA stuff won't! Confused? It's because your PSP can't be registered to two accounts at once or something. Thankfully you can swap between both UK and USA by just downloading either a UK demo (to make your UK stuff work) and a USA demo (to make your USA stuff work). So pleased i have GOW:COO on preorder it's a outstanding achievement for a handheld game!
Dyson Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Choze, you realise that Phil Harrison makes more balanced comments than you, right? Claiming that it's "well beyond" Live is pure fallacy. I love you, and your truthfulness. Bad news PS3 owners. http://kotaku.com/360002/sorry-uk-no-gran-turismo-5-until-2009 Oh noes! Oh wait, I don't own a PS3, and GT had never been my cup of tea anyway.
Caris Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Better than Live? Lol. But yeah no GT5 till 2009 sucks but we still have Prologue so it's not that bad at all.
ShavenWolf Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 PSN does 3 things better than live, IMO: 1) It's free 2) Better downloadable games 3) Uses REAL money on the store and not STUPID MS points!! Live does pwn it in pretty much every other way. I still prefer the PS3 as a console though, I think I'm the only person on the forum that actually does. Well, except choze. In other news, I got a PSP Slim and Lite, which has rekindled a love for my PSP, so I've been getting all the great games I've missed this past couple of years off for a tenner each on eBay! : peace:
flameboy Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Well I'm going to get my PS3 a month early, got all my original xbox stuff packed and ready to trade in...
Columnar Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 I love PS3 too! Had a few wobbles earlier in the month because I thought I missed my 360 but turns out I don't and I'm so glad I went with Sony this time. Anyone getting Lost Planet on Friday? Been playing the online demo but its all crazy Japanese people playing and I've been kicking their asses so hopefully more people from here will be playing online too?

Oh wait, I don't own a PS3, and GT had never been my cup of tea anyway. I don't mind waiting for one of the best real racers out there. ^_^ I can certainly say that real money is better currency than any bollocks point system that Microsoft/Nintendo uses. GOT I HATE POINTS!
flameboy Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Well I picked mine up today, got Orange Box and Burnout Paradise. Was thinking of getting Uncharted, but thought couldn't beat OB's value (only £35 second hand)...left it downloading the Uncharted demo at the moment... Love everything about it at the moment....XMB is awesome and great functionality of everything. Loved watching even DVD's on it as they look so much crisper and smoother when upscaled. So far played Burnout for about an hour and love it, feels like a mix of Need For Speeds most recent versions (Pro Street aside) and Burnout...god it looks gorgeous will have to go get some online games going with guys once I know the city that bit better. I need some friends though add me! My name is flameboyNE.

That's the kind of opinion I can respect, one with actual solid reasons and some good points that I find it hard to argue against :wink:

Caris Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 I'm nearly half way through Half Life 2 and have had zero problems. Finished Portal and played TF2 quite abit as well and it's perfect. The AA is slightly better on the PS3 version which is a bonus. 1up are just a bunch of idiots, everyone has been wondering what they have been smoking.
flameboy Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I've heard the Orange Box is terrible on PS3 due to its frame rate and loading times. Yeah its better than some reviewers made out...I did hear that they had improved it between review copies and retail copies... As for my overall PS3 experience I am loving it. It is much better feeling like I have a console that is forward moving and forward thinking console. Yes Choze does seem to be the most Sony biased person in the world but I can seem some truth in all the things he has said. But I still say it is mostly all potental...but it does have things there such as an attempt at unifying friend lists by displaying your recent opponents and what game they are from on the XMB...I think the inclusion of ingame XMB will help improve this no end. I have mostly only played Burnout Paradise but am going to get into Orange Box today...
ReZourceman Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 My Dual Shock 3 arrived this morning. Ill give it a whirl later. Need to decide if Im going to buy Unreal Tournament and a head set today. Anyone got UT?
flameboy Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I'm not sure about UT it is very much a hardcore shooter and I'm not sure if I could hack the pace.
Guest Jordan Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 UT3 on PS3 is slower than on PC, so i wouldn't worry too much. Its strange, i was a super hardcore UT Classic, 2003 and 2004 player... but for some reason i don't want UT3. I can't figure out why.
ReZourceman Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 My Sony fanboy (Zomg Ninty sux, buy PSP and PS3, then when I buy a PSP and text asking to recommend games says "stick with DS" sigh) lol friends are urging me to get it. We had loads of fun with the old Unreal Tournament(s) on PS2, doing hardcore capture the flags, which was really fun. Plus I seem to be maybe be getting better at FPS's...I mean I used to be pretty shit, and not exactly great, but on Halo Im fucking owning bitches on a regular basis, often best on my team/MVP etc. The number of times Ive had MVP but my team still lost...ugggghhhhh.
