flameboy Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Just downloaded International Track and Field off the playstation store...god I used to love that game...going to use my old sixaxis though, dont wanna break my DS3 with button bashing...
tapedeck Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 http://community.eu.playstation.com/playstationeu/board/message?board.id=62&message.id=873643 Looks like your fine to proceed. Cheers, all was fine. Bit miffed though (nay, concerned) as, after some searching, it says it happens to PS3's which are over 8months old. Mine is pretty much brand new. Kinda feel Gamestation weren't giving me a brand new PS3 then. If true that's some low, low shit. May just be random though so I guess there's no way of telling
flameboy Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I'm wondering if it is some kinda of periodic defrag?

tapedeck Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I'm wondering if it is some kinda of periodic defrag? Dunno but the PS3 has been louder than previous today . Will give it a few days before I go schizo though.
That Guy Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Motorstorm: Pacific Rift http://www.gametrailers.com/player/38840.html Looks good but I absolutely hate Motorstorm. That game seriously pissed me off.
Owen Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Motorstorm: Pacific Rift http://www.gametrailers.com/player/38840.html Looks excellent! I love the first Motorstorm (after a certain period of time) of playing it..though..i do believe it needed some sort of 'change' during the races and hopefully the idea of destructible huts etc..will change the dynamics quite a bit!
spirited away Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Getting a PS3 tomorrow for my GCSE results, so I thought I would show my face in here for the first time. But first, a few dumb questions: If my TV can only cope with 720P, is there any point in getting an HDMI cable? (not one for technicalities); What's backwards compatibility like with PS2 games? I have a fair idea of what games I want to purchase, but I was hoping I you guys could help me out with any gems I may have overlooked (preferably exclusives, or superior iterations if multiplatform games), and good PSN games, as I have no knowledge of them. Wishlist : - Uncharted: Drakes Fortune - Ratchet and Clank - Resistance: Fall of Man - Metal Gear Solid 4 - GT5 Prologue Good start?
triforce_keeper Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 If your not getting a 60gb PS3, you can't play ps2 games :/ But still can play ps1 games. I have just got a PS3 and have only played Ratchet, GT5, and heavenly sword. I highly recommend Ratchet, heavenly sword is a game I wouldn't normally go for, but I'm loving it! I don't really like racing games, but I have enjoyed what I have played of GT5 ^_^ Definitely get a HDMI, as you can pick them up cheap now (£7 from wilkos), as it will look shit on a HD tv through composite (which is the cable it comes with).

What about the 80GB SKU? Doesn't it come with a component cable?
triforce_keeper Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 What about the 80GB SKU? Doesn't it come with a component cable? The new model? I'm not sure about that! Might do! If so, my 360 looks great through component, so I wouldn't bother getting a HDMI. Just looked it up, I don't think they come with component cables!

Just looked it up, I don't think they come with component cables! Sorry I've not made that clear at all; I mean do the 80GB PS3's run PS2 games? And you've answered my second question.
triforce_keeper Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Sorry I've not made that clear at all; I mean do the 80GB PS3's run PS2 games? And you've answered my second question. No they don't
spirited away Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 No they don't Not a major issue, but that's pretty lame...
triforce_keeper Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Not a major issue, but that's pretty lame... Sure is. Never owned a ps2, so it would have been nice to pick up some of the classics :/
flameboy Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Yeah the 80GB SKU is just the 40GB SKU but with a bigger hard drive...You will be lucky to get a 60GB unless it's second hand. I really wanted one but couldn't find one. There is always hope they add software based emulation again.
tapedeck Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Played the force unleashed demo: I couldn't help but think it was a lot like Shadows of the Empire back on the N64. Third person stormtrooper whoppin' with non-descript hallway after hallway finally leading to a meagre set-piece. A poor demo to release imo. And a title which, ironically, seems a perfect fit for wii.

You should definitely get a HDMI cable as you can then upscale DVDs which makes them look better. And as was said, Heavenly Sword I think is excellent.
spirited away Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Does BBC I Player work on the PS3's browser? As I keep getting a javascript error... Also when I start up Ratchet and Clank, it tells me to close the game and make space on the HDD as you need at least 412mb minimum (i've just got the console and there's 64 gb free space).
Rowan Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 I have heard that if you want to use iPlayer on PS3 you have to use this link: http://www.ps3iplayer.com/

Third person stormtrooper whoppin' with non-descript hallway after hallway finally leading to a meagre set-piece. A poor demo to release imo. And a title which, ironically, seems a perfect fit for wii. I actually really enjoyed the demo, but then the only star wars games I have played is a tiny bit of jedi knight YEARS ago, and KOTR games. I think I will defo be picking this up when it comes out. Wish the framerate was a bit higher though Also, really really get an HDMI cable. Makes everything SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better. Angelina jolie is sitting in my bedroom! (The theme is oooooh so detailed). EDIT: Just tried the demo of facebreaker and it's pretty good! Was pleasantly surprised! Wonder when that is coming out, along with wipeout HD which just looks fantastic and is a day one purchase for me.
Owen Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 The day is fast approaching where i'm running out of space on my hard-drive too! I reckon i can just about save the remaining games i want on my PS3 this year (unless they do a Hard Drive Install thing)..but next year, i will have to upgrade..Which feels me with a sense of dread..

I had the same problem, you need to either delete around 500mb of space, or add around 500mb. Do what I did, and download the Harry potter demo from the psn store ^_^
Domstercool Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 It's easy to install a new hard drive and it's so much cheaper than the 360 to do it as well. I got a lovely 320gb for my PS3 for £59.99
