Daft Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 My PS3 has been replaced twice and I actually look after it.
dwarf Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I don't think it is Choze, as you can see from various PS3 owners here they find it isn't reliable in the slightest. We're not just talking weak points in the internal stuff, but it does get exterior damage if it's poked too vigorously.
MATtheHAT Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I have to admit, my 360 is built a lot better than my PS3. It also looks better in my TV stand. The PS3 is damn UGLY.
Happenstance Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 As long as my PS3s hardware doesnt break like the 360s then im perfectly happy, id much rather have a bit of a dodgy shell compared to all that red ringing. Saying that though my PS3 is in perfect condition, although I most likely havent had it as long as you lot.
Aimless Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I've a 60GB from launch and have yet to have any kind of issue with it. Since the launch of the 360 I've gone through seven machines, both consoles being treated with exactly the same level of care. Sometimes hardware breaks. In the 360's case it suffered from an actual design flaw which was the major reason behind so many RRODs, whereas as far as I'm aware the PS3 is merely victim to the usual dangers of being a complex piece of electronics. Anyway, after the excitement of the 2.80 firmware update here's a rumour regarding 3.0. Obviously you're going to want to take more than the government's recommended daily allowance of salt with such stories for the time being.
dwarf Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 For those I PMed, I will try again with more inclusions of people so i works better. I want better results.
Daft Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Nah. If you think that way you are in a very tiny minority. Thats too much dust... Do you clean up your place? :p Looks unbreathable. I know, it's f*cking disgusting. We just got rid of this awful shaggy rug, I'm guessing that's where it's from.
LegoMan1031 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Ive always found my PS3 and TV a bitch to dust. I use the duster over it and then some re-appears... Or maybe i just use a shit duster! lol.
flameboy Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I've found my PS3 does seem to need dusting way more often than my other electrical stuff.
That Guy Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Choze is actually speaking the truth for once. People with working hardware don't shout about it from the rooftops. You'll only ever hear about problems people have with stuff, which is why it always looks like everything has a problem on the internet.
dwarf Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Mahn, whenever I turn on my PS3 it keeps reminding me I have less than 500MB of space so I'm really going to have to get a new HDD sharpish. I can't keep deleting PSN games - SSHD has already bit the dust and I don't want to have to get rid of anything else. Having to fork out loads of money for a 320GB HDD and a 40GB HDD is annoying (that's if Choze is correct in saying I need another 40GB to transfer my sheet) but has to be done. There won't be any space for Infamous when that arrives. Yeah I'm not giving in to that dumb 'spelling'.
Aimless Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Have you deleted the installation files for any games you aren't playing, dwarf? If you haven't done so before I'm sure you could free up a few GBs by doing so. I now have over 1000 Trophies. They're pretty much a virtual monument to my procrastination.
dwarf Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Ah good point. What are you procrastinating/putting off exactly? I really don't want to give into finishing the second Fallout 3 playthrough for trophies. I mean if/when I get my Wipeout platinum I'll be happy for the rest of my trophy days. It's not like I couldn't get those trophies ya know.
dwarf Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I'd just like a video showing exactly what I need to do in my situation.
dwarf Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Well no it's just the price of getting all the stuff. If I could borrow and send back a 40GB that someone has that would be great. I'd pay a couple of quid for the service.
dwarf Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Just got another Gold trophy on Wipeout and I've slowly realised that its the trophies that make the game good. I mean playing is fun in the sort of competition that the game creates and playing for trophies completes the hard work you've put in. Now I just need to get the time consuming stuff and then I'm all set.
Ryan Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I prefer to race online than to spin around in Zone mode over a hundred times.
flameboy Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Thinking about getting Monster Hunter Unite...Seems like the online would be worth it, you can either connect via the Ad Hoc Party program of the japanese PSN or via a tunneling program for the PC.

Im on playing this beauty right now. I bought it last night at 7, played it til 12, got up at 9 and have been on it since then. Yes, it has once again started to consume my life. My 2 nephews and another mate on XBL have been sitting playing it, we can't play it together but we have been sitting in party chat just talking to each other about how far we are in the game and the quests we are doing.
dwarf Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) No the trophies are the equivalent of mutilating yourself. Thing is Choze, whilst it is fairly frustrating racing relentless Elite-difficulty AI opponents on phantom speed class, I have managed to do all of the hard trophies. It's hard yes, but I remain in-tact with no limb dismemberment and my TV and controllers are nigh-on perfect condition. I prefer to race online than to spin around in Zone mode over a hundred times. I wanted the Zone Zeus trophy a lot and I think the only way to get it is if you are made out of awesome. Which was lucky for me because I managed to attain it. When I get this beastly platinum I can safely say that I have the hardest trophy out of every trophy available for the system :awesome:. Edited June 28, 2009 by dwarf

dwarf Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Lol inside you do Flameboy. Have I riled you up 1 too many times before? Like in your Africa trip thread...
Jon Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Lol inside you do Flameboy. Have I riled you up 1 too many times before? Like in your Africa trip thread... It's probably your penchant for continually speaking large amounts of bullshit.
dwarf Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Well don't make a statement like that without giving evidence.
