Aimless Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 What's the catch with this? Is it that they are releasing it a long time after the release date? The listing says the game will be sent "on or before 7th December 2009", meaning they get your money almost two months in advance whilst your 'pre-order' nets you the game much later than its release. By that time they'll most likely be able to get a good deal on their wholesale stock, too — buying excess from brick and mortar stores on the cheap, for instance — so whilst it isn't a terrible deal it's not really a chance I'd jump at; if last Christmas is anything to go by you might be able to pick up a copy in GAME for £20 come December. As far as I'm aware it isn't currently possible to pirate PS3 games. It's the small print you need to look out for, not badly photocopied cover art.
flameboy Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I'm rating that episode. What did you think?
dwarf Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Generally very funny. You need more explanation as to your structure and why you're doing the whole thing, there doesn't seem to be an overall aim. Other than that though it was hilarious, couldn't believe the genius or the Infamous advert.

Other than that though it was hilarious, couldn't believe the genius or the Infamous advert. Well to be honest at the moment am just trying out different things and what does and doesn't work. Before trying to put it in the context of a proper show rather than just me doing what I fancy as and when. I liked how the layton section worked out and intend to try and punctuate every episode with a mock advert. Also always going to have a retro section just perhaps not as long...Also I've hopefully got youtube distribution sorted via blip.tv after I was approved by them for that so all future episodes will feature on youtube.

Ryan Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 I'll be buying a new PSP when Peace Walker comes out, probably the 3000. But there's an incling in the back of my mind soon enough the 3000 will be dropped for the..wait for it..PSP '4000'! I've done a quick Google search to catch up on some rumours and it's pretty hard not to notice there's been a new incremental update for PSP each year since it originally launched, with this year's being the PSP Go, supposedly. So, I'm starting to speculate on the '4000' series. According to rumours, the UMD drive will be retained, so it will be supported alongside the Go for one. Then the usual brighter, crisper screen, and some other internal changes. One thing that benefits the Go is the use of more memory making the in-game XMB possible and the ability to 'tether' to wireless internet from phones (or something). So you can imagine the new 4000 would possibly have these features installed too. But then wouldn't that make the Go seem a little redundant? The new PSP would do everything the Go would, plus a UMD drive..
Daft Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 The PSP essentially already does what the Go does. I suspect they might drop the price of the Go when the 4000 hits. I prefer the position of the stick on the Go so when I finally get a PSP it'll be one that is like the Go. Which I would have got had it not been so expensive.
Emerald Emblem Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Little help here. My little brother can't send or recieve messages on LittleBigPlanet, something to do with parental controls. I even turned his parental controls off so i really have no clue why he can't send or recieve messages.
dwarf Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 It depends on the account creation - the birth date you entered. For example if you put the birthday that makes you 15 years old, you still can't do Fifa matches online even though its a 3+ game because you have to be 16 to do so, no matter how leniant you make parental controls. You'll either have to make a new account and put in a fake birthday or live with it I'm afraid. Unless I'm mistaken.
Emerald Emblem Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Well he is 16. It's kinda annoying if he is player 1 since I can't either if i play with him which is a pain.
LegoMan1031 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Ah good old parental controls. Glad they weren't around as strict when i was younger!
dwarf Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Well he is 16. It's kinda annoying if he is player 1 since I can't either if i play with him which is a pain.Might be 18 then. It's almost certainly the account age.
Daft Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Anyone else played Overlord II? I've been playing it over the past couple days and it quite fun.
dwarf Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 The PS3 is back, was reminded by the constant bombardment of game updates that you have to go through to actually start a game up if you haven't been on in a while. Still, no reason to complain, the thing is functional, and Uncharted 2 should be here tomorrow.

Dante Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Monster Hunter gets a spin-off for the PSP. The game is called Monster Hunter Diary : Pokapoka Ailu Village.
dazzybee Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Netflix is coming to the PS3. Anyone know when it's coming to Europe?
Daft Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 We don't have Netflix in Europe so I suspect not for a very loong time. It would be nice if LoveFilm had some fooking initiative.
Emasher Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 We don't get it in Canada either, so I'll be sticking with iTunes for online movie rentals. PSN is getting very close to Live in terms of features now though. And there are rumors the next update will have those last few things people complain about PSN lacking.
dazzybee Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Oh....quite liked the idea of HD rentals on my TV. Not worth it for computers in my opinion. (depending on size of monitor and living room set up obviously)
Emerald Emblem Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I managed to change the sub account settings so my little bro could use the text chat on LittleBigPlanet.
flameboy Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Oh....quite liked the idea of HD rentals on my TV. Not worth it for computers in my opinion. (depending on size of monitor and living room set up obviously) you will be able to do it on PSN quite soon when we finally get the video store.
Choze Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 The funny thing is despite the strikes all my Royal Mail stuff has come through just fine. Even on the strike days amusingly. The private carriers i used, UKMAIL and CityLink in all cases have not even delivered once so far. They all left a card despite someone or me being at home. Obviously alot of dodgy dealing there. I will have to go to their depot to collect the item. Again. Fuck online retailers recommending non Royal Mail services that DO NOT FUCKING DELIVER. Fucking scums. I paid extra to avoid the strikes, pieces of shit.

Maybe they just don't like u? lol On a serious note thats odd coz my friends and i have all been using UkMail and have always got it delivered next day. Royal Mail on the other hand... Ive been waiting for days after dvd's have been dispatched 2 me from online shops based on UK mainland.
MATtheHAT Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 UKmail are THE shit! I always get mine next day, with a tracking number so I can follow my parcel throught the shipping process. From now on, for the extra £1.99, I will be using them all the time. Fuck Royal Mail.
