dazzybee Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Are blu rays multi region? I think ive asked this before and got a no. My mate has a PS3 and he swears blu ray film sad games are multi region. Hes trying to get me to get Rock Band on the PS3 so we can play together online, though I'm still favouring the Wii. Though if I could get Rock Band NOW by ordering the US version I may get the PS3 version!
Hero-of-Time Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Some Blu-Ray films are multiregion but for the most part the region is locked. All PS3 games are region free though so feel free to import Rock Band
dazzybee Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 So if I order Rock Band on the PS3 from US or canada it WILL work on my PS3? Is there any negative to doing this? DLC problems etc? I wish the put online on the Wii version, but they havent so it looks like Sony is getting the license fee for this game not Nintendo - maybe if they sorted out the wanking hard drive situation this wouldnt have happaned!!!
Guest Jordan Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 It will work IF FUCKING IF you have a HDTV or EDTV. It will not work if you have a standard shitty old TV. As for DLC? *insert huge shrug*

I think that you have to have an american credit card to pay for the DLC on the US store. The PSN cards are due out soon so its not really a problem if you can wait.
dazzybee Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Yeah I have a HD TV; hmmmm.... *sneaks onto dvdboxoffice.com without his girlfriend looking* PS In the box you get the game, mic, guitar and drums......what about the bass guitar?
Guest Jordan Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 You'll have to buy another guitar. On the 360 version you can use either of the guitar hero controllers, but on the PS3 its Rock Band stuff for Rock Band. Btw, that guitar can play either parts. Obviously.
dazzybee Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Thats a little annoying, would rather another guitar than the mic to be honest. Need to sit on this one I think, it's alot of money and I really dont think the mic will get much use!
Daft Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I've got it on the PS3. I only got the drums though. You need an American account for DLC. Edit: FFS... I just got an American PSN account... Christ, it makes the European one looks like a desolate wasteland... Its even organised better!

Daft Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 yeah isn't their store divided up into better catergories. Yeah, then again I suppose they actually have content to divide up. And they should just make most DLC region free, its infuriating.
flameboy Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah, then again I suppose they actually have content to divide up. And they should just make most DLC region free, its infuriating. Seem as it all works together anyway surely they could have a universal store....the japanese one has so many PS1 games!
Daft Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Seem as it all works together anyway surely they could have a universal store....the japanese one has so many PS1 games! I can understand there being some licensing issues but most the stuff shouldn't be affected. I just think at the very least, if you import a game you should be able to get DLC from wherever for that game.
Daft Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 http://kotaku.com/5012056/report-in+game-xmb-for-ps3-is-otw Report: In-Game XMB for PS3 is OTW Gaming Age yesterday posted a report that in-game Xross Media Bar support will in fact be a part of the Playstation 3 Firmware Update 2.40, which will release "sometime in June." Reader hukeedonfonics also tipped us to the above video, which shows in-game XMB over the BioShock title screen. Comments claim a BioShock developer leaked it. Gaming Age writes that requested features like a universal friends list, and in-game messaging will be a part of the drop, in addition to "a few rather nice surprises (*cough*soundtracks*cough*)" (their words, not mine.) So, spread the word, and we'll hopefully have more on this as it develops. Rumor has this hitting on the 10th and that Konami pushed heavily for it because of features integrated into MGS4. Can't wait. The iPod in MGS4 = Custom Soundtrack? Would be awesome even though I love MGS music.
LegoMan1031 Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Cool, that would be excellent if it's true. Somehow i can't seeing it be though. You never know though!
Daft Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Cool, that would be excellent if it's true. Somehow i can't seeing it be though. You never know though! I wouldn't be that surprised since Burnout is meant to get an update with custom soundtrack some time this month. Fingers crossed anyway.

You beat me to this...I think if Konami push this can only be a good thing because the online beta was a nightmare having its own username system etc....we already know 2D trophy achievements are rumoured to be on their way in June so this could all work out very well with arguably the biggest exclusive this year.
Hero-of-Time Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Im hoping I dont get addicted to the trophy system, its bad enough being an achievement point whore.
Daft Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Im hoping I dont get addicted to the trophy system, its bad enough being an achievement point whore. If there were other bonuses to the trophies, would you start buying PS3 games over xbox games (assuming the title was available on both systems)?
Hero-of-Time Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 If there were other bonuses to the trophies, would you start buying PS3 games over xbox games (assuming the title was available on both systems)? Good question. Hmmmm, im not sure as I really love the 360 pad ( best pad EVER IMO ) and I enjoy the dashboard system. In the end I would probably go with the 360 version as hardly any of my mates have a PS3 but all of them have 360s.
Daft Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Fair enough. I'm favoring my PS3 because of my uber hard drive (not really a big deal but for some unknown reason I much prefer having my own in there) and the fan/disk drive noise of the 360 is still annoying (I know its not as loud as some people make it out to be but I can't help but notice it when playing Eternal Sonata and quieter games in general). I wish I could just switch the analog stick and the d-pad on the DS3.

Hero-of-Time Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I downloaded the demo of Battle Fantasia from the Jap store and its pretty good. Its been a while since I played a decent 2D fighter and this looks and plays great. Anyone know if its slated for a Euro release?
