Daft Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I am 99% sure the headset is only out here tomorrow. Not sure about SOCOM. I thought it was Feb but GAME also say this month as well.
Daft Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Might get Socom, quite liked the beta myself but for most i recommend KZ2 as the main shooter game since its out in February. Already Got the headset though. Its been out a while. Same goes for the keypad. You sure the headset it out? I think there was an initial early batch out, which sold out, but the actual release is tomorrow. As for SOCOM, you got a solid date for it because I can't find one?
Deathjam Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 After looking at whats available, I recon im just gonna get the headset with socom. Amazon are selling the set for just shy of £30 as has already been shown, while they are selling the headset at RRP of £25. Also, they say the headset is out tomorrow. GAME is selling the headset for 19.99, but may as well pick up a fun game for £10, and then trade it in when Killzone 2 arrives. I do remember seeing the headset being available before hand, and the same goes for the touch pad w/e, but at the moment these two are very much sold out everywhere.
Ganepark32 Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 The playstation website still has it down as TBC which is strange. Australia look to be getting it on or around the 5th of February so seems plausible for it to be released near enough to that date in Europe.
dwarf Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I don't know whether I should get the headset or not. I don't fancy spending much time on Socom tbh. Thing is at the moment I have a cheap Jabra but it isn't too great because I can't hear people that well.
Daft Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 There is a mute button on the official Sony one which I sorely miss after the XBL headset so I was sold. I'm getting geared up for KillZone 2.
dwarf Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Does everyone realise how awesome that game is going to be? I know Choze does because he bangs on about it but it actually will be intense, I don't even care about the campaign! Picking someone off has never been as fun as it is in this! Neither has grenading for that matter. I still doubt we will get many good games going between us because we don't seem to organise it that well...
Daft Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I still doubt we will get many good games going between us because we don't seem to organise it that well... This will, NAY MUST, change! To be fair most PS3 games aren't the easiest to get a party going. Resistance 2 was pretty good but it took me about 5 minutes to work out how to accept an invite. Hopefully this'll change with KZ2. My headset was crap before which didn't help.
dwarf Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I will look forward to pwning you all then (cringe) ! To put it modestly I have epic skills on Resistance deathmatches but this is quite a different style. And you have to learn the maps and all the intricacies etc. Great when you get into it. I think online can be very fun because you can piss people off from the other side of the world to them just by pressing a button or two hehe.
Deathjam Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Haven't played an FPS since counterstrike source and Team Fortress 2 so not sure how my skills will hold up on Killzone 2 but the excitement and expectation is building...
flameboy Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 The headset must be out in some form because I saw a copy of Tom Clancy's End War bundled with it in GAME.
dwarf Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Yummy I wonder what the download content for Motorstorm is. Omnomnomnom if it was tracks!
Strider Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Nabbed from HOTUKDEALS: PS3 Eye Of Judgement Box Set (Inc. PS Eye) £19.99 GAME INSTORE! Worth it for the camera alone.
dwarf Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Cool I was thinking about buying one, may have to get that. What is Eye of Judgement?
Strider Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Cool I was thinking about buying one, may have to get that. What is Eye of Judgement? Card based game, think Yu Gi Oh. You get a mat and you place cards down and your cards appear as 3D monsters on screen. It actually looks quite kool. Worth a YouTube search anyway.
dwarf Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Looks alright. Don't really understand it though.
Diageo Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 They should have made a yugioh game like that, when yugioh was popular!

Daft Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Blu-Ray still has a way to go. If they weren't so unreasonably bloody expensive!!
flameboy Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Blu-Ray still has a way to go. If they weren't so unreasonably bloody expensive!! They are getting better with multibuy options on older releases now turning up and reasonably good prices at supermarkets on the week of release. It's no different to when DVD first came out.
MATtheHAT Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I have been buying a couple of Blu-Rays a month since I got the PS3. I have built up a decent collection now. Just got to wait now for seasons 1-3 of Lost and seasons 1 and 2 of Prison Break.
Daft Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I rent everything now so £15 for a Blu Ray seems way too much for me.
Deathjam Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Buying Blu Rays now for stuff that is new, while old classics that would not really benefit from an HD lift i get as DVDs.
S.C.G Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Imo DVD and Blu-Ray should be priced like this... DVD - £7.99 (Regular) £9.99 (Special Edition) Blu-Ray - £9.99 (Regular) £11.99 (Special Edition Of course the prices won't be made standard like this for some time if ever, purely because they charge what they can for them, not what they should, I guess the whole point of buying films on disc is that you can watch them any time you want and as many times as you want; however I bet there are a few films that maybe only get watched once or twice that are in peoples collections. I guess that's why we have rentals but even so I'm sure certain bought DVD's don't get watched as much as others and around £12 - £15 isn't really good value for a film if you only end up watching it once or twice, not when you compare it to buying a game for £35 and getting around twenty - thirty plus? hours of entertainment versus two - six hours out of a film when watched once or twice. Blu-Ray will come down in price in a few years I reckon, largely due to the PS3, more people are slowly investing in one so it's only a matter of time before the format gradually starts to sell almost as much as DVD's have in time and as they sell more, in theory they should become cheaper, we will see if that happens or not I guess.
MATtheHAT Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I havent really been watching tv much aside from top Gear and afew other programs the past year... but i started watching House md which i am really enjoying it so far. Is Lost and Prison break worth joining in for at this late stage? Also how is The Wire? I am kind of a noob right now. Prison Break I would say yes, as long as you caught it early in a series to get the gist of the story. As for lost, i would buy the early series on DVD first, as the story is very complicated. Season 5 of lost starts at the end of the month.
