Daft Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I know, I'm not on about now! Its just, it seems to be filling up awful quick :S I have 19gb left, and only have a few demos and 1 install That sounds wrong. But it might just be me. I upgraded my HDD almost instantly.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I havent heard anything about a disc version, although i would assume there would be one! Ive just googled it and Joystiq had this... As revealed earlier in Sony's E3 press conference, popular platforming pair Ratchet & Clank are to embark on a $15 PSN adventure sometime this Summer. The cheaper, bite-sized game will serve as a "great introduction to what R&C is all about," depicting the adventures of the Lombax and robot following Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction's climax. For those excited by the news but alarmed by the lack of a physical disc to cherish and smell when nobody's looking, SCEE president David Reeves has promised a Blu-ray disc version of Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty, just for PAL territories. There will also be PSN version, but we all know that'll look completely rubbish in your sprawling disc collection. Kotaku had this... Ratchet & Clank: Quest For Booty is, at its heart, a PSN game. It's meant to be short, it's meant to be downloaded. And in the US, that's how it'll stay. As a PSN title. But in Europe, consumers will have a choice. They can download the game from the PSN, or they can buy it on Blu-Ray, as a disc-based version of the game will also be released. No reason given, but our guess is one of the versions will ship with only a handful of major languages, so it hits the market quicker. Eurogamer had this... Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty will be released on Blu-ray Disc in PAL regions. SCEE president David Reeves announced the plan at Sony's Santa Monica event today. "Every relevant title that SCEA announced for America will also be introduced to the PAL territories - most of them day and date - and I will name these titles so you know what they are," he said. "It will be Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty, and the exception here will be that it's a BD [blu-Ray disc] release as well as PSN release in the PAL territories. I wonder when its gonna get released then?
Daft Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I'd be surprised if they don't have a delay between the PSN release and the Blu-Ray release since it is meant to be a PSN game.
KKOB Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I know, I'm not on about now! Its just, it seems to be filling up awful quick :S I have 19gb left, and only have a few demos and 1 install I have a 40GB one too but i've not had any issue with HDD space. At all. And i have a few downloadable games, and all the games i have that can be installed are installed.
dwarf Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Gotta love hearing and talking about how good the PS3 is, makes me feel good about buying it. That little swivelling logo I just tried out and I don't know why but that was overly cool. I have played Uncharted quite a lot in a few days and I have read it's a short game but it's so fun. I honestly believe that the shooting in the game is the most satisfying of any in-game shooting. The shots have a heavy feel to them, I think maybe because of DS3 but it's just very good. The platforming even though it's easy is a joy and the trophies thing is cool. Anyone else think the PS3 looks awesome when upright? I think when it's on it's side it looks ... not poor but, average? Oh and can anyone recommend me a good but cheap HD T.V or one that makes the PS3 graphics stand out more? My box T.V still looks cool and everything but I want to experience the good stuff. It's about 20/21 ". Anything the same size or slightly bigger would be nice. I know nothing about these T.Vs but appearance-wise the Samsungs rate high for me. Back to Uncharted: If you have a PS3 and you don't own or haven't borrowed the game you must do at some point. Now isn't a bad idea seeing I got it for £14.
LegoMan1031 Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 hmm interesting Hero-Of-Time! I think i would rather get the disc based version, just to save filling up my little 40GB hard drive. Hopfully if it is delayed compared to the PSN one it isn't by much...
KKOB Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Actually, in what position do people have their PS3's in? I have mine horizontal as there's a vent at the bottom and i dont like discs spinning vertically. Seems like there could be a problem.
dwarf Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Well I just put mine up vertically cause it looks awesome. Thing is, Sony haven't said it could be a risk to stand it have they?
triforce_keeper Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I have mine vertical, just because I haven't got the space to but it horizontally until I get a new tv stand. But I think it looks sexier vertically anyway
S.C.G Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Except for the Wii, placing consoles horizontally = win, the 360 is too unreliable to be vertical, the PS3 just... looks... odd... vertically (Imo) and truly the only console out of the three I trust that won't be at any risk of falling over when placed vertically is the Wii, it's just not worth the risk with the other two and when it comes down to it, I reckon as a general rule most consoles will work for longer horizontally, I know M$ and Sony say their consoles can be stood vertically, just don't be too surprised if they fail before the horizontally placed ones. That said you may be really lucky, have it not fail, not get knocked over and not overheat but you've just got to be aware of these factors if you want your consoles to last.
LegoMan1031 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I have mine horazontly, my 360 is also horazontily but my wii is vertical. The only reason is so they all fit with my sky box and HDMI switcher under my tele!

I will likely pick up the blu ray version to save on hard drive space...but I reckon there will be quite a space...we still don't have a firm date for the siren one? But thats no matter to me I still have tools of destruction to play, also picked up size matters in a 2 for £20 and was getting Sega Mega Drive Collection anyway...now got 10 games for my PSP.
flameboy Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Have you started FFVII:CC yet, Flameboy? Yeah is the main game on any format I am playing through at the moment, am about 6-7 hours in. Loving it...much more my style of RPG than just plain turn based.

KKOB Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Have you started FFVII:CC yet, Flameboy? I'm playing it too atm, but i much prefer a turn based battle system. However, a change is refreshing.

flameboy Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Im glad to hear it. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the ending. Zack is the man! Hmmm well I'll let you know... I'm playing it too atm, but i much prefer a turn based battle system. However, a change is refreshing. Yeah refreshing is a good way to describe it...I like cos it is still kinda turn based but can be played at a much faster pace.
Rowan Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Am hoping to be getting an 80gig PS3 next month or just before Fifa 09 comes out; I am just wondering whether a PS3 looks fine with the standard composite cables it comes with as my family may not have a HD Ready TV yet. I'll be using a Sony CRT TV which is still rather nice. Thanks

I'll be using a Sony CRT TV which is still rather nice. Thanks I'm currently on a crappy 10-year-old TV, no widescreen, on SCART and it still looks great. I do look forward to getting my HDTV back though.

I'll be using a Sony CRT TV which is still rather nice. Thanks Running on a 4 yr old CRT with RGB scart and it looks fantastic. Having seen it on HD, I do know what I am missing out on though...
ReZourceman Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Out of interest how long is Ratchet and Clank. Im on the level with the green wings, big dinosaurs and jelly gun thing, just after the lava levels. And actually Im stuck on this level because I don't know where to go (I missed a cut scene) Anyone know how to proceed? I think Ive explored every area now, and I can freely move around the level on the wings? (if that helps you know where Im upto)
flameboy Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I'd be interested to know how long it is see if I can cram it in before I am back to work...

(if that helps you know where Im upto) erm, i can remember which level ur on about but not sure how to proceed. Does that bloke at the start of the level still need some souls (or whatever there called) off u still? If u have been everywhere and its got nothing to do with him u might have to leave that planet and go somewhere else. Sorry i can't help u anymore, having trouble remembering.
