Ryan Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I think, but don't take my word for it, it's done all through Remote Play.
dwarf Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Just going to mention before I forget, does anyone else get pissed off with the fact that once youve read a message from a friend on PS3 - when you press circle it goes back to the XMB and you have to wait for icons to load, then re-enter with triangle and X and wait for more icon loading... Stuff like this gets on my tits.
LegoMan1031 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 F*CKING DNS ERROR!!! WTF! Ah you have joined my club from a few weeks ago... So annoying! I sorted mine by manually switching my PS3 to open DNS... Never had a problem since then (it was only my ps3 that was giving me DNS problems). Well I guess your jokey nature to it all has softened the blow. It doesn't really matter because what actually are infractions? Unless it's 3 strikes and I'm othen out? I only have 1 left if that's the way NE does it http://www.n-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?p=588447#post588447 That link explains how the infractions are used. (Decided to post the link coz it saves me time explaining it, lol)

flameboy Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 To be honest dwarf if you added lol to the end of most of your remarks it would somehow become less offensive. It's wierd how you can pretty much get away with anything if you add lol or rofl to end of it...
LegoMan1031 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Cool, I'll give that a go. Thank you!! Edit: Actually how do you do that? Go through the setting up network thing again but when u get to the DNS question select manual, then enter: Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222 Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220 That should solve ur problem, it worked for me anyway!
tapedeck Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Got PlayTV the other day Awesome! Picked it up in GAME for £50 which seemed a decent price. (Had to buy another item so got some cards for £1.) TV now has taken over my life as I can record stuff, pause it etc. as well as send recorded shows to the XMB and USB them for later joys. It looks great too (waaaay better than normal DigiTV) due to HDMI/upscaller shenanigans going on. Great app for the PS3. Heartily recommended if you like telly.

I keep thinking of getting one but need to sort out my lack of aerial socket in my bedroom first, as doubt this would on even the best internal digital aerials.
kyletherobot Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Play TV was one of the main reasons I got a PS3 and it is a fantastic bit of kit. The picture quality is top class. One complaint from me is that it doesn't allow you to select a series link, meaning that you have to remember everytime a show that you want to watch is on. It's a minor niggle but it has led to me missing out on some really cool shows (Coronation Street). I guess it could be fixed with an update. Anyway, I've been absorbing all of the E3 stuff over the last couple of days and the one game I am really pumped for is Uncharted 2! It looks absolutely amazing! Assassins Creed 2 looks pretty impressive too.
Gizmo Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Right, I have decided to investigate a PS3, and whether I should get one now or later. If I buy now, then obviously I have it for what will probably be a long summer. If I wait, I'll probably get it cheaper, or even the slim if that comes. From E3, I don't see many big exclusive PS3 games for this year, as most of them seem to be 2010 (The Last Guardian, GT5, Agent etc) So, with that in mind, what are the exclusive PS3 games that I've got to have? Off the top of my head I've got MGS4, LBP, inFamous, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted. Also, PSN? I know theres some really excellent stuff on there that I've missed. I'm trying to work out how much it's all gonna cost me too. Probably about £300 for a bundle with one or two games, then I'll need another controller, probably a couple of cables for my TV/sound system, is PSEye worth getting? Theres no headset bundled with the console is there?
Caris Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Exclusives out now you have: Resistance Fall of Man Resistance 2 Ratchet & Clank Tools of Destruction Ratchet & Clank Quest for Booty Warhawk Heavenly Sword Killzone 2 Metal Gear Solid 4 Motorstorm Motorstorm Pacific Rift Uncharted Drakes Fortune Socom Infamous Little Big Planet Ridge Racer 7 Gran Turismo 5 Prologue SingStar Valkyria Chronicles Not sure about all the PSN games as i don't download many but there is Flow, Flower etc. Edited June 5, 2009 by Caris
dwarf Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Well my friend got his, admittedly 2nd hand, PS3 for £220 with 3 games. Mine was £240 6 months ago also with 3 games. I'd add Heavy Rain, MAG and Motorstorm to that list of future games, and there's quite a few PSN games worth getting. For PSN: Wipeout, Worms, Stardust, Flower, various PixelJunk games, Lumines etc. Full list of PSN games here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_Network_games Edited June 5, 2009 by dwarf
Daft Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Hmmmm, I really didn't think Terminator Salvation was that bad. In fact I thought the story was pretty good, if you ignored just how implausible it was. The game was pretty much made for a rental.
Daft Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I absolutely loved Legends. Rented the new one, got half way through, got bored and sent it back.
Jon Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Got the DNS error myself, pretty easy fix though. Just log into your routers home page and note down your primary and secondary DNS settings and enter the in PS3 menu.
dwarf Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Managed to borrow Crazy Taxi off a friend, in fact he said I could have it. YA YA YA YA YAAA!
Ryan Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Anyone using PlayTV? We're thinking of replacing Virgin Media.
Ryan Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 How does PlayTV work anyway? It's basically a Freeview DVR through PS3 in HD.
tapedeck Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 PlayTV is awesome Plug your ariel into the back of the box, USB it up into the PS3 and that's it really. It's just like SKY+ but you get freeview. My fave feature is sending the recordings to the XMB to USB and watch later. Good for keeping a whole series or burning a show onto disk or sommat. Great piece of kit. Anyone know when VidZone is coming out? Also, thinking about becoming a rent boy like Daft (uh-er) as renting games means more trophies :P and less cost clearly. What's the best rental service to sign up to?

Also, thinking about becoming a rent boy like Daft (uh-er) as renting games means more trophies :P and less cost clearly. What's the best rental service to sign up to? i use lovefilm, the price aint bad, im on uner £15 a month with two disks at one. try and get a single game at a time while i watch loads of films.
flameboy Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 lovefilm or tesco (actually run by lovefilm but cheaper) I ended up cancelling mine as I wasn't getting any of the games high on my list and at the time just wasn't playing enough to warrant it...
tapedeck Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Yeah the trick is to keep multiple lists and use the main list as the red BAM! There he is. Wondered how long it would be till I saw the killer all seeing-being Choze offering the DEFINITIVE response over everyone. In your everyday life does your overpowering self righteousness create drama? Wondering... It sticks out like a sore thumb on here. But yeah, cheers lads. I'll look into this whole rental scheme.
Daft Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Got the DNS error myself, pretty easy fix though. Just log into your routers home page and note down your primary and secondary DNS settings and enter the in PS3 menu. Hmmm, mine seems to be okay now and I haven't changed anything. This is all very confusing. Anyone know when VidZone is coming out? Also, thinking about becoming a rent boy like Daft (uh-er) as renting games means more trophies :P and less cost clearly. What's the best rental service to sign up to? VidZone is out this coming Thursday, the 11th. Renting is the way to go. I save so much money it's unfunny.
kyletherobot Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Just got my first platinum! Woo yeah, it is from Tomb Raider Underworld which I incidentally have on rental from lovefilm. Go me.
