Daft Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I don't like itunes , but thanks for reminding me to set up some podcasts for downloading : peace: I don't really use it for anything but as a player and for my iPod but if they integrated it into the PS3 that'd just give it an amazing amount of content. The cinema in Home could have constantly updated trailers. Wishful thinking but still a great idea imo.

dwarf Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I think I'm just going to sell LBP. I don't play it now and I lost my save data for it so I really can't be arsed with it anymore.
Pantsu Man! Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Has anyone else read the ESRB description of Noby Noby Boy? It sounds like a mix between the original Snake and Katamari. But, it sounds pretty awesome.

Nicktendo Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Well I finally got my PS3 today with LBP, GTA and TNA iMPACT! which I got for a fiver! First impressions are it's a lot slower than 360. Everything seems to load and take a while to do move, 360 is a much more streamilned experience. However the amount of content on offer here really makes up for it and I much prefer the playstation store to Marketplace. I had a little blast on Home, played chess and pool. Very nice and basic, but a bit pointless at the moment however the potential is huge and it boggles the mind to think about it! Not bad for a beta. My PSN i.d is "nick-tendo" so please add me. I'm looking forward to sharing levels on LBP and deathmatches on GTA. One thing I did notice is how silent the machine is! Unbelievable after the 360. I've got a wirelss keyboard and headset and it all feels very hi-tec and while I am, in reality, slightly underwhelmed. (I just think the 360 does a few of the basics better.) It doesn't at all feel as "generic" as the 360 and I can see the potential eveywhere, I just hope Sony fulfill it! So overall I'm pleased and when I've finished GTA I'm gonna pick up Metal Gear and pick up where I left off in 1999 with the PSOne original!
Daft Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 That photo thing is awesome. When was the last time you were on home cos I cant remember the last time i went on it... When the redbull thing went up. Whenever the hell that was.
Guest Jordan Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 You might have thought it was crazy that Outrun Online Arcade was exclusive to 360 in the US... Well, in Europe its exclusive to the PS3... Yuppp... http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2009/01/21/outrun-exclusive-to-european-playstation-store/

Pantsu Man! Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I have no idea what Noby Noby is... It's made by the same guy who made the Katamari games. I remember reading something sometime where even he didn't know what the game was at the time. Now we know.

Dante Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Sony expects games division losses to increase by $337 million Sony Corporation has said that it expects to record a net loss of JPY 150 billion (USD 1.68 billion / EUR 1.29 billion) for the financial year ending March 2009. The company's PlayStation games division is expected to increase losses by approximately JPY 30 billion (USD 337 million / EUR 258 million) in the financial year, half of which is due to lower than expected sales. For the fiscal year ended March 2008, the company made a profit of JPY 369.4 billion. The company has primarily been affected by the economic slowdown and the strength of the yen making exports expensive. The new forecast contrasts sharply with the previous guidance set in October last year, when Sony said that it expected to make a profit for the fiscal year of JPY 150 billion. The company's other business segments fared no better. Sony's electronics division is expected to see losses grow JPY 340 billion, while Sony Pictures is anticipating an increase in loss of JPY 13 billion. Sony's financial services division, which includes Sony Life Assurance, is expected to lose JPY 65 billion compared to previous forecasts, and all other business a further JPY 11 billion. Update: Sony has revealed plans to cut costs at the business by JPY 250 billion, including the closure of one of its manufacturing sites in Japan, further consolidation of divisions and cuts to bonuses and salaries. www.gamesindustry.biz
Dante Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 little if any effect on SCE. Sony.net: (2) In the Game segment, operating income (loss) is expected to be lower by approximately ¥30 billion. Of this, approximately ¥15 billion is due to the impact of the appreciation of the yen and approximately ¥15 billion is due to lower-than-expected sales.
Daft Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 My fucking DS3 trigger is knackered. The R2 activates at the slightest touch. Stupid Sony and their shoddy out of date bastard controller.
Daft Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 warranty Though does sensitivty depend ongame? Na, it sometimes presses itself under it's own weight. I'll call Sony but I'm sure they'll say it is wear and tear.
The Lillster Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 If Sony repair for free you get an extra 40GB hdd out of it. PS3 recovery menu. For those who really get stuck like The Lillster. Hope he sorts it out. Well basicly I phoned Sony and I said what was happening, and the guy said he would send me a replacment on 5th of feb. Pretty ridiculous though, since I only had it about a day and already started fucking up. What I should of said is I want a 60gb US launch unit (you know the ones with 99% BC) modded firmware/hardware/ whatever to support region free everything. Also upgrade the harddisk to 80gb. Also my problem isn't the HDD, because the screen will just go weird so I don't think it's to do with the HDD.

flameboy Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 That photo thing is awesome. When the redbull thing went up. Whenever the hell that was. God shows how long since I last went on, Red Bull thing wasn't on when I went on. I've added pretty much everyone in the last few pages of this thread as a friend. I'll accept later on today.
dwarf Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Does the lovefilm checkout code still work? I'm gonna order it if it does.
Daft Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Does the lovefilm checkout code still work? I'm gonna order it if it does. I think it stopped at 2pm.
dwarf Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Why use Home? Worthless application in my view. Yes it must have taken ages to make but I don't really care for it. Use the PS3 for playing games, watching movies and videos and browsing. I don't need Sims on it, the money they used should have gone to something better.
dwarf Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Well I won't be using it unless I feel like talking to random people in order to charm or piss them off lol. What game should I get between now and Killzone?! There is too long a wait.
dwarf Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Nah I have Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones and it was great but I don't really want the new one. Especially if it's easier. Saints Row 2 may be an option, I've never actually owned a Sandbox game.
