Is it true that PAL 60gb PS3's only have 90% BC, while USA has 100% BC?

 

PS2 titles, its probably around 60% actually, maybe even less.

PS1 titles, any and all PS3's can play those.

Got my Jabra headset today, I haven't really experienced voip before so looking forward to it. Thanks to whoever it was that recommended it btw, looks sleek. Don't see how it could ever be sold at £49.99 though!

(got it for £8 new on Ebay if anyone's asking.)

My mate has a PS3 too. Would I be able to use his warranty?

 

You should be able to.

 

It'd just be like getting a present I assume. It's a universal 1 year warranty.

I've never wanted a headset but it seems to more and more becoming a required piece of kit for online play... think I may pick this Jabra one up...

 

Yer i'm thinking of getting one 2. Was playing burnout this other day with cookyman and a friend of his and they were talking, i felt left out... lol. I remember them wondering where i was going coz i did like a U-turn at one point... heh

 

Knowing me though i wont end up getting one, lol.

I'd been thinking about getting a Bluetooth Headset for a while and so after reading the posts here I decided to get a Jabra headset too only I got...

 

http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/5319387/Jabra-BT8040-Bluetooth-Headset/Product.html

 

£42.99 on Play...

 

I got one for £25 off eBay, was quite pleased :smile: nows the best time to get one for me tbh as I'm still waiting for my 360 to come back from repair, so once I get this bluetooth headset, I'll give MGS online a go, even though not many probably play it anymore I guess, and that double ID login thing sounds annoying...

 

still it looks decent so gonna try it out finally.

PS3 Guitar Hero World Tour has a slight edge over the 360 version - if your a musical genius!

 

Linkage

 

During the past couple of days, whispers of a new instrument were said to be introduced for Guitar Hero: World Tour - for its PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, at least. Since the beginning, it's been announced that this fourth installment in the franchise would finally introduce two new peripherals other than the guitar controller: the drums and the microphone. But is there a fourth controller?

 

It turns out that Neversoft project director Brian Bright was actually misquoted and there's never really been this "new instrument" - to clarify, it's actually a feature that integrates the use of a PC.

 

The feature is the MIDI Sequencer - that'd be the same mode in which you get to create your own music for Guitar Hero: World Tour. In that feature, you get to hook your PC to your PS3 or Xbox 360 and record whatever's playing into the in-game studio. Here's the reason behind the new feature, as Bright explained:

 

 

If you're a musician or you do any sequencing, it really just makes the pathway to getting your songs in the game that much easier--once you get it down. We just really want to give people enough tools to be able to make good music.

 

 

This feature will be incorporated as a patch to be released sometime during the launch week of the game. The MIDI sequencer functionality will be limited to just the drums tracks for the Xbox 360 (due to unspecified "hardware issues") but the PlayStation 3 version would be able to incorporate drum tracks as well as those for rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass, and keyboards.

 

For those who want to pursue the whole in-depth MIDI sequencing and song creation functionality (as Bright admits, "it's not something that your average user is gonna do"), a full FAQ will be released at the official Guitar Hero website in the near future.

Uberly ouch. Unlucky buddy.

 

Yeh tell me about it!

 

Anyway i've decided to go the technical route and disassemble my PS3. :geek:

 

Lucky for me the blu-ray drive was easy to get to and I didn't have to fiddle with the main mother board unit. :yay:

 

So far i've managed to take apart my blu-ray drive, clean the lens and put it back together. Unfortunatly it won't let me insert discs now, but that's probably because I didn't put it back together correctly.

 

Hopefully I can get it to work tommorow.

 

If not, I've found a website which sells replacment PS3 blu-ray drives, so I'll just get a replacment from them.

 

That means, no £199 for sony, no 1 month waiting and no bull shit!

If it is under 1 year old you should be able to get it replaced.

 

It is probably the diode for the Blu Ray. I heard from someone at work that there was a bad batch earlier this year.

Sure, I'll add you next time I'm on my PS3 Adam, I got my headset today so will be good to try it out (assuming you have one too) so yeah, we could play a few games of MGS if I see you online sometime and your up for it. :smile:

 

Also, why does no one seemingly play it anymore? people seemed to play it for all of a week and then moved on :/ I thought it looked different enough to maybe be one of those online games played semi regularly at least.

Yeah people did seem to drop off it pretty fast and I found myself struggling against really good players. Will likely be tomorrow night I can play...

 

My headset hasn't shown up yet but I'm sure it will either today or tomorrow...
