dwarf Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 They won't close the Playstation brand. And that chip thing is quite amazing really, to think that Sony basically undid much of their own work - if the PS3 hit the market first, so many more people would have bought it.

jammy2211 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 It'll be Sony Eriksson that goes, all the divisions will see changes but I think the only effect on SCE will be getting rid of some of their dud studio's who no one cares about anyway. Worst part is probably the fact we won't see a price cut for a while still, it's okay cause I have a console and all but it can't afford to tail off the 360 too much :/.

Daft Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ordered and official Sony PS3 headset off amazon today. Can't wait. The list of Sony owns. They can get rid of those trusts and schools for one. They're just hemmoraging money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyman Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ordered and official Sony PS3 headset off amazon today. Can't wait. I ordered SOCOM yesterday from Game (you get the headest with it) - cheapest price too £29.35. Got an email today - You may have noticed that the price of SOCOM Confrontation with PS3 Wireless Headset on the GAME site has gone up to 34.99 GBP Please do not worry, your credit / debit card will be charged with the lower amount as originally agreed when you placed the order. This is merely one of the benefits of the GAME 1st To Play Preorder Service! Wow I certainly timed that well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird Game says the headest came out on the 28th of November and that SOCOM is out on the 16th January. Just spotted the price on Amazon too - good find Daft! So what is the definitive release date for SOCOM? I'll remain optimistic and say January! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted January 5, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted January 5, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted January 5, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted January 5, 2009 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted January 5, 2009 Share 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 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted January 6, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I dont actually recall much about the Killzone 2 invite system. You can easily join others already playing in games though. Setting up private servers are easy with a ton of options. You can reserve slots for friends like in Warhawk. 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! The multi will be big. Single I do not know for sure but it was awesome at eurogamer expo. It certainly impressed more than any other shooter at the show easily. I also played what was an old uglier(still beautiful) build. 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? The headset has been out for ages but its £17.99 on its own and is constantly sold out or priced higher. So i can see why people are buying it with Socom as you can find it for £24.99 with a coupon perhaps. No idea about release date. Its best imo if they delay and make sure its ready. They released it too soon in the US judging by the beta. updates on PS website: http://uk.playstation.com/games-media/news/articles/detail/item135314/???What-was-your-PlayStation-highlight-of-2008/????/ You can get this on your ps3/PSP as well.
