Choze Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I am liking the changes though i am adjusting as tacticians as spawn dynamics have changed back to the beta. Can someone please show me the best places to get the 40GB and 320GB PS3 HDD from? Really don't want to spend that much for it, best prices please! Amazon are quite safe. I went for the on in the link. Its safe and uncomplicated. Did well in benchmarks ages ago(good all rounder). http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digital-Scorpio-Internal-OEM/dp/B0011U65F2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1244205808&sr=8-1 Western Digital are easy to find, though Fujitsu, Seagate and Hitachi are also worth considering. You will notice in some online games that you appear as one of the first each time loading is needed benchmarks on PC: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2009-2.5-mobile-hard-drive-charts/h2benchw-3.12-Avg-Read-Throughput,1110.html Hard to go wrong lol. Yes you can spend more for 500GB even. I am waiting for the 640gb and 750gb drives for my next upgrade.
dwarf Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Why bother Choze? If I was loaded like you I would spend money on more important things. You don't need to upgrade further than 320GB.

The new ones are a long way off so i am not considering it just yet. But i can always reuse the 320gb in my laptop for example when it comes
Caris Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 What is going on with Killzone, half the time when I search for games it says no game available. It only ever has games on Killzone 2 originals, speak of which what is that?

Saturdays are hard to fine tune. This patch the dlc maps are now meant to be in all map rotations(8 map limit before) as default. So you can have games that cycle all maps. Though i have not checked personally. Originals refer to non dlc maps.
dwarf Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Don't search by map, it rarely works. Just do all games and it'll be likely a good one comes up. There are at least 30 games when you do it this way.
Caris Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 It's a huge title, you should be able to go on to any mode any map and find tons of games. I'm shocked to see how dead the online is.
dwarf Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Well yeah but it's the only way to find games. I think the online is great at 8-10 > peak times.
Choze Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 It's a huge title, you should be able to go on to any mode any map and find tons of games. I'm shocked to see how dead the online is. Its one of the most active online games ever. They need to fix up the filters abit for more options as it limits single maps search to only those maps(no rotation games). In the meantime Dwarf's method finds better quality games and dlc with rotation.
MATtheHAT Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 It's a huge title, you should be able to go on to any mode any map and find tons of games. I'm shocked to see how dead the online is. I think it only shows the games at your particular ranking as well. But yeah, it would not surprise me if the Call of Duty's are getting more numbers.
Choze Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 You can turn 'my rank' off. As i said mess with the filter options. triangle autojoin just places you in a random match like COD though it matches very well.
Foxfear Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Sorry it's kinda off-topic, but does anyone know (and I'm looking at you Choze) how to transfer your game data (including trophies) from one ps3 to another??
Caris Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Trophies are stored onto Sony servers so just sign in on any PS3 and they will be there. (sync on the original PS3 before you do anything). Save date is a tricky one, only some data can be transfered over so put as much as it will let you on a memory stick and any you can't you just have to live without.
dwarf Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Yeah it pisses me off how data can't be copied all the time 'this is not your data' I know it is you prick but I don't want to play through the game another time just to unlock something.

What data can't I save on a USB stick??
dwarf Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 It depends on game, if the developer is feeling tight ass like Resistance or Wipeout then it won't let you copy the data to a seperate PS3 I don't think. May be wrong. I've had it where my data has corrupted and I get a file off th net, put it on the PS3 and a message says I can't use it.

Luckily I don't have Wipeout and Resistance :P I think only frist-party games have this problem...hopefully!
MATtheHAT Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 If someone gets the Valor Citation Trophy (weekly honour rank #1), will that then unlock the Trophies for WHR 2,3 and 4?
dwarf Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I'd guess so but Choze would be the guy to ask, he has platinum afterall.
Choze Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I think KZ2 also has a locked save file. So your single player data will be gone. Online is fine as its on servers. They should do something about keeping saves locked to profile name rather than an alone save. If someone gets the Valor Citation Trophy (weekly honour rank #1), will that then unlock the Trophies for WHR 2,3 and 4? Yep. You get the others same time since you got the highest one.
Choze Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I didn't?.... If you get say the highest weekly rank (red one) you get all the trophies below it as well. I had 3 trophies because i got purple first week.
dwarf Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 On the new maps I've found that playing as a saboteur with spot and mark and long range gun is very fun indeed.
Choze Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Yeah the long range gun works really well. Most importantly it gets them with ease at a distance. killzone.com features have been updated. Including more enhancements to Battle replays. http://killzone.com/kz/news.psml?kz_news_article=Killzone.com+Updated+for+Second+Map+Pack&kz_news_page=0 I cant play much PS3 right now because my new tv still isnt here. So i am letting others use it. Kind of fed up with the wait.
MATtheHAT Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Can you earn ribbons by playing with friends? If so, does anybody want to help me unlock the melee and sidearm medal? i.e, Just stand there while I mash the butt of my rifle in your face?
