Chris the great Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 for tellevisions, panasonic viera is the way to go. its not TOO expensive and the picture is unbeatable. sony are actualy ok for tvs aswell. my personal telly is a cjv (or somthing like that) and is bassicly an "outher" brand. its pretty good for what it cost, but picture quality is far from perfect, but not horrible either
Daft Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Sony's TV recently have gotten so much better. I have a Panasonic Viera and as Chris said, t'is pretty damn good looking.
Daft Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) Demon's Souls Import Review 9/10 - I wasn't expecting that although I didn't really know much about the game. I'm quite excited now. Demon's Souls is a brutal, bleak action combat RPG that pits your lone character against a universe full of violent demons. They range from former human soldiers to agile, double scimitar-wielding skeletons, pouncing flame-creatures, octopus-headed guards, embryonic plague-carrying monstrosities, even Death himself. The game's five worlds - all massive - are split into four different sections, each guarded by a horribly large and hardcore boss monster. Everything in the entire world is designed to kill you, quickly and often without warning. Sounds epic! It is one of the most difficult modern videogames in existence, refusing to make even the slightest concession to your happiness or mental well-being. For this reason, developing a devotion to Demon's Souls has been the gaming equivalent of falling in love with an emotionally stunted, occasionally violent sociopath. Actually it sounds epically painful. But fun...kind of. Edited April 23, 2009 by Daft
dwarf Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Wow that looks great, remember reading about it and not being that optimistic, nice exclusive. I played Fallout earlier and managed to level up a bit from doing a couple quests I did before but didn't get trophies for, but this time I blew up Megaton after managing to pick the sheriffs lock in order to get the bobblehead, may try to collect all 20. It's such an awesome game, I forgot how retro/creepy/atmospheric it can be. I also took an epic* journey up to the attic to get my PS2 down because my friend has let me borrow Tekken 5, haven't played one in ages. Had a bash with a friend and few things rival the awesome moments when you finish someone off with an awesome move. The cries of 'NO WAYYY!' and 'FUCK ME THAT WAS WHOOPASS!!!' are tear-inducing it's so funny. Street Fighter can suck my balls. *After a visit to an attic and you get what you are looking for it always feels like quite an achievement. Probably not epic though.
Razz Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Yeah I read the Eurogamer review earlier today and have to say it piqued my interest somewhat. Saw it around loads on Joystiq a while back, and never really looked into, but after reading that seems like something I could really get into. The visuals look pretty beautiful too.
Aimless Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 A fair few people on another forum I frequent have been extolling the virtues of Demon's Souls for a while. I particularly like the online functionality — being able to leave messages to help other players out is a great idea, especially as you get bonuses if people rate your comments highly — although at the moment I'm holding out for a European release; the game's out of stock most places and is going for around £60 on eBay.
Daft Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 They'll release it over here. The timing of this review after the Sony thing recently is begging it. It just sounds painfully fun.
Aimless Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 They'll release it over here. The timing of this review after the Sony thing recently is begging it. It just sounds painfully fun. I'm hopeful, but then we haven't heard a peep about Afrika/Hakuna Matata or Aquanaut's Holiday, both of which have fully English Asian versions available. Granted both of those are niche titles, but Demon's Souls isn't exactly Call of Duty either. On the upside this Kotaku post gives a promising hint: But I don't think anyone attending the event walked away disappointed. I'll definitely be interested to see how PlayStation fans react to next week's previews, which also include hands-on impressions of Motorstorm: Arctic Edge, Fat Princess and a couple of titles that might not yet have been officially announced for a Western release.
Daft Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Sony aren't bringing Afrika out here. Fingers crossed, for this.
Daft Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Long painful wait. I wonder if Soul Cailbur 5 will get announced at e3? God I hope not. That series needs to be put down. Soul Calibur 1 is spinning in its grave. And my Dreamcast.
tapedeck Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Sony aren't bringing Afrika out here. WHAAAAT?! I was looking forward to this Import?
Daft Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Well last time I was around the game Sony did not want to bring it over here. I don't know if another publisher will pick it up. I doubt it tbh.
Dante Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) PS3 is number one in Japan for this week sales and YTD. PS3 62,527 DSL/DSi 44,725 PSP 40,065 Wii 13,221 Xbox 360 8,652 PS2 4,230 "FFVII: ACC" (Blu-ray) sold 275k including bundles. Edited April 24, 2009 by Dante
Dante Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Nice! Year ot date is impressive. Reggie is going to be upset at e3 :p Reggie "I am upset for Japan sales :("
dwarf Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I don't think many if any 'harcore' games will be unveiled. What they'll have this year is an announcement of a big first party game along with a couple of fairly traditional 3rd party efforts. Going on my 6th sense. Does anyone want to do some online stuff tonight?
dwarf Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I haven't really been on it as much lately, been doing a bit of Fallout but not much. If only everyone played R2 here. Why don't we have a bash on KZ and Worms tonight? Get in the online meetup thread.

Actually it sounds epically painful. But fun...kind of. Ahh thanks for the heads-up! I forgot all about this game due to the lack of info but good to know theres an English version floating about
Caris Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Anyone know of any good higher capacity batteries for the PSP 3000? Not the stupid ones that allow to hack, I don't want to go down that route.
Caris Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I want this but it says it's not available to the EU... http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-bg-77-a-49-en-15-psp+battery-70-306l.html
Caris Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I can't find it anywhere, i know it's been discontinued in the US. Where else sells it?
Caris Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 http://www.renchi.com/renchi/PSP_PSP_Slim_Lite_Accessories_PSP_PlayStation_Portable_Battery_Pack_Vibrant_Blue_2200mAh.htm Thats another importer. Havent had a good look. They don't have the Silver in stock .
