Domstercool Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I've played Persona 4 for 14 hours now and I have to say, SOOOO GOOD AND INTERESTING. I really don't know where the story is going to go. I have to state that please don't ignore it just because it's not on a flashy next gen looking console because it's better than any RPG any other system has had since well Persona 3, heh.

The Lillster Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Mine came with a broken Blu Ray drive, wouldn't even take the disks in. So Sony sent me a brand new one. Right so your ps3 broke, you sent off for a refurbished one, that one didn't work so they sent a brand new one? Also how can sony send me a new 60gb PS3 when they don't even make them anymore? (If they do send me a brand new one, that will be sweet as I brought mine second hand anyway.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 i dont see why people are all sahing the wii is turd, or not a proper games console. granted, i feel let down by the direction nintendo are going, wii music is not a true game, dont get me wrong. i got a ps3 because there was little of interest for me on the wii. i did think it was a let down, yet when playing, especialy with friends, im reminded of the pure fun factor, the joy of playing that first attracted me to games as a boy. some how, racing on mario kart with the wheel, looking like a twat is more fun then stealing a car on gta and going on a crazy rampage. i have no doubt gta is the better game, yet some how it isnt quiet as fun. GTA is rubbish. MK Wii is excellent. Hope that helps. GTA was way overhyped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup pretty much, i had a huge go at them on the phone as the obviously didn't even test the machine before they sent it out. So i got a brand new one in return.

Columnar Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 So much for PS3s being more reliable than 360s... My 11-month old 40GB PS3 has decided to stop reading Blu-Ray games and movies. I was merrily watching Indy IV for the first time tonight and the bloody thing crashed about halfway through the film and was making these weird noises, as if the laser was moving backwards and forwards a lot. I then had to force the system to shut down to even get the disc out and now it just will not load up any BD discs. Is the Sony repair service easy to use? Think I'm going to wait till after the New Year to send it in but so pissed off just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diageo Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I tried playing a bluray movie for the first time today and it was in black and white! Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 It may be because of your TV settings, or Display Settings in the settings part on your cross-media bar. (or your current PS3 system update is old) Everything that can go wrong for you seems to be going wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 GTA is rubbish. MK Wii is excellent. Hope that helps. GTA was way overhyped. Bollocks, I missed the memo that your opnion is fact. GTA is one of the best games ever released (I think almost every review backs that up) I thougt MK was basically the cube version with added gimmicky controls. My opinion of course.

The Lillster Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 i dont see why people are all sahing the wii is turd, or not a proper games console. granted, i feel let down by t he direction nintendo are going... Well if you look back at the Gamecube era, a lot of people realised that in order for Nintendo to have any chance of there former glory (in terms of sales) they would need to attract the casual gamer market, just like the PS1 and PS2 had done previously, also (just like the PS1 & PS2) they realised they needed a diverse range of games. My point is there are certain people around here that are unhappy with the direction Nintendo have taken, because of all the shovelware and medicore PS2 ports (fair enough). Last time I checked though, Gamecube never had an exclusive Dragon Quest game coming out for it. Even if your not a fan of that particular game, it shows that good games are on the way, but their gonna take longer to make than all the shovelware that's currently plastered on all the shelves. Iwata even said that himself. Sometimes I wander what the fuck is wrong with these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA is rubbish. MK Wii is excellent. Hope that helps. GTA was way overhyped. well i must be an idot considering ive spent about 30 hours on gta and think its great. only flaw i can find is that hanging out with friends is a chore. oh, and ocasionaly, making you drive back to the start of a mission seems pointless.

Choze Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I did not realise Sony added automatic scene search in movies. Just press square and you get thumbnailed scene search in any movie you downloaded or streamed. It wasn't Casino Royale, was it? Just checking. lol that would be funny if true. The start bits are black and white as well as the menu. Good movie to test out your pic quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columnar Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 OK hopefully crisis averted. Phoned up Sony and got a very friendly chap to send me a replacement console on Jan 5th. Their service is far better than Microsoft's in my opinion - I just hope it doesn't happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domo Kun Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 They really should have released Persona 4 on the PS3 too at a reduced price, a la ABBA Singstar. When's it coming out in the EU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I cant get TV in my room and have just discovered BBC iplayer on my ps3 and its pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Yeah you can do so much via the browser. There's also video streaming by software such as Tversity. Tried Play Tv? Its £44.99 at Shopto. On the other hand there are updates for video coming to Europe. We also should be the first region to get the free services. Iplayer and 4oD should be built in to that. Video store should come too but i am not expecting much since Itunes is pretty awful here in Europe. They really should have released Persona 4 on the PS3 too at a reduced price, a la ABBA Singstar. When's it coming out in the EU? March i think. Playing Persona 3 FES right now. I would love that. I am guessing this will happen at some point provided they can get the emulator working somehow. But perhaps a game by game basis would work if they can fund via selling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I've spent ages creating my level now but there's a few issues with my boss. I think it's a really good level but I hope it gets played by quite a few people because it takes quite a lot of effort. Also is there any way of making it so that the paintinnator doesn't ruin the look of the boss? I can't find a way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domstercool Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Persona 4 isn't out till the spring from what I've heard.

S.C.G Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 What is this shit? there was an icon that appeared after I updated my PS3 that said I could download home, so I do that, let it reserve it's space and now it says it's a beta and just says "There has been a problem downloading content" when I try to connect... If it's a beta that I can't get into then why would it say that I can download it? is there any way of deleting this crap? I natually assumed they'd finally released the glorified Second Life inspired piece of "social software" but if I can't do anything with it then I don't want it. I may leave it if it can just be upgraded to full version once it's properly released, still pretty shit that it lets you download something thats now useless though. *edit* nm, deleted it.
