PlayStation 3 Console Discussion

Recommended Posts

The only thing between the console and the router is my bedroom floor. My PS3 is positioned directly above the router, only on a different floor.

 

Anyway, thanks for the replies guys. I'll have a look at my connection speed on my PS3 but I honestly don't think it's my connection as all my other devices running off of it in the same room all run at high speed.

 

If its just in the room above, why not just drill a hole in the floor/ceiling and run a cable through it?

So I'm looking to get a PS3 Bundle since my birthday is coming up on Sunday. I just need to have peoples opinions which is the best bundle for £250 from a big name retailer preferably as i would rather not take risks.

 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html/ref=nosim/?docId=1000344563&tag=hotukdeals-21

 

250Gb, £269.99, + Three games. One is inFamous and you can chose the other two from a pretty good selection.

The selection of games is amazing...so many good titles to pick from

 

True enough, a number of exclusives there that piqued my interest. I've been permitted to dip into my Christmas fund in case I'm a little short so all the better to try and get this bundle.

Anyone interested in Borderlands?

 

I wasn't but the current glut of coverage has made me stand up and notice it might be one I have to pick up another time though...

After reading the Edge preview I am very interested. Day one purchase I think.

Today I wound up calling Sony and asking for the £100 repair. Guarenteed fix and 3 month warranty persuaded me to do it this way rather than the spare parts buying.

 

They said to back up save data just incase it is wiped and also to deactivate account.

2 questions:

a) If I've backed up the data to my 250gb HDD and my PS3 has returned with the memory wiped, will I just have to plug in the external 250gb and then transfer it on?

 

b) what does deactivating the account do?/how do you do it?

a) Yes

 

b) To deactivate your account, on your PS3 got to your account settings and there is an option there. I just deactivates one of the 5 PS3s you can download titles to.

Just one of them, surely there's a way of choosing which systems you want activated? Would they ask to do that just so they could put PSN games back on or something?

You can only deactivate from the machine (afaik). The reason they ask is in case they send you a refurb.

Hmmm but I don't want a refurb. System-locked data and whatnot. To be frank I don't mind too much, it's been broken for so long I'd just like to be able to play some games on it. Has been quite a hassle.

They said it'd take between 1-3 weeks after they collect it on Tuesday. I seem to remember someone saying it took 6 days for them, but whatever it is, I can't help but feel that it's gonna be a while before I get to sit down and plough through Uncharted 2.

Unless Sony is worse than other electronics companies in this sense, you'll probably get it back in a week.

In the filming area for Battle: Los Angeles.

 

I saw this billboard today in Shreveport, Louisiana. There are a lot of movies filmed here, and this one is about some sort of alien takeover of Los Angeles; the name of the film escapes me at the moment.

 

Snapped off a few photos of the billboard since I wasn't sure if the game had been announced yet or not. If not, then I'm surprised Insomniac would be announcing it here of all places.

I think you all know that I would've been damned excited when I saw that. Not sure if it's a genuine announcement, but if it is then WOOP!

From that it looks like it's set in New York. Nice to be in a familiar place.

 

I'm looking forward to it. I hope they can build on the awesome co-op in there.

Well its definitely on the way surely what with the ending? If this is as close to a n announcement as we are gonna have for now then i'm still relatively pleased.

I'm thinking if they could make the competitive mode a bit more robust and less uhh, nichey? I played the competitive stuff so much but understand why it didn't take off with everybody.

I believe it was partly down to the rough presentation of the game, if they made the interface a bit more friendly, along with maybe making it easier to jump in as a newbie then I think it could take off with everyone here.

 

Maybe it's the arcadey style that deterred NE. Although I wouldn't want them to take that away, it does seem like a bit of a brick wall. Polish the graphics up, make the objective-type modes more meaningful, in the style of battlefield perhaps, then we could be onto a winner.

I really enjoyed R2, so looking forward to a third installment. I would love a Third Person Resistance, with a cover system like Gears of War, maybe fighting as the combine or whatever they are called.

Isn't that sort of what Resistance Retribution was trying to offer on a smaller portable scale?!
