Triple_C Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 I've been looking at Okami (£18 at play.com is still a bit expensive) and Shadow of Colossus for a while now, where are they cheap?
Owen Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 I've been looking at Okami (£18 at play.com is still a bit expensive) and Shadow of Colossus for a while now, where are they cheap? £18 is pretty cheap for them...You could try Ebay though or try and get one pre-owned in a GAME shop maybe?
Triple_C Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 I'm trying to "conserve" money at the moment, so budget games for me!

Aimless Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Does the PS3 upscale dvds? Yes, but only over HDMI I believe. Games and burned DVDs can scale over component, though.
Hero-of-Time Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 New PS2 is on its way. Live in Japan? Get out that big red magic marker. November 22nd sees the arrival of a redesigned PS2 (SCPH-90000). While rumored to retail for under US $100, the redesigned PS2 will sell for ¥16,000 (US $140) and comes in Charcoal Black, Ceramic White and Satin Silver. The system has apparently been completely overhauled and features an built-in AC adaptator. It's internally powered! While the size is the same as the current PS2, the new one weighs slightly less. There's a special stand peripheral that is going on sale as well for 1,600 ($!4). All this is Japan-Only at the moment, but look forward to the inevitable Western launch. Hopefully at a lower price point! Source Kotaku
Mikey Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I'll probably trade in my old PS2 for it. Space saver for sure.
chrizkerr2 Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 I'll probably trade in my old PS2 for it. Space saver for sure. Same, then I won't have a problem buying a PAL PS3. Use the new tinier PS2 for my BC needs, and just get a PS3 for the PS3 games.
Mundi Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 http://kotaku.com/gaming/japan/persona-3-gets-anime-320261.php Persona 3 anime Haven´t really played the game, gonna try and get my hands on it soon
Owen Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 New firmware today! It's not amazing, but it's not dire either! Loving the new theme, and 'News' bar! Also the PSN store is under a new logo now! Cool!
Aimless Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 I just thought I'd mention that although there's an Uncharted demo available on the US store, you apparently can't play it on a PAL PS3. Download it? Sure. Play? No. Genius.
Marshmellow Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 New firmare update is quite nice. Maybe I wont sell it now.
m_fergy Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Just played the Uncharted - Drakes Fortune demo Great game Just pre-ordered it
Owen Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I just thought I'd mention that although there's an Uncharted demo available on the US store, you apparently can't play it on a PAL PS3. Download it? Sure. Play? No. Genius. Really?! Good job i have a USA PS3 then this time!
Domstercool Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 There's a live action film coming too! So cool!
Dante Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 We'd been hearing that Sony's new 40GB PS3 featured a revised design with a 65nm Cell processor and improved cooling, but sadly it looks like those reports were in error -- a Sony spokesperson has told Heise Online that the 40GB model continues to use 90mn processors, but does feature an updated design with a lower power consumption of just 120 to 140 watts, compared to 180 to 200 watts for the older models. Sony says its still planning on moving to 65nm processors in the near future, but for now, it looks like the PS3 is 90nm across the board. www.engadget.com
Owen Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 Uncharted is amazing! It's now been made region-free!
Aimless Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Uncharted is amazing! Yeah, I was bit worried just from looking at footage, but actually getting to play it has allayed my fears. It won't be a revolutionary 10/10 game, but it looks to be a very well produced, solid adventure game, a genre that's been sorely ignored so far this generation. I've already played through the demo several times — I've found Hard to be really nicely balanced — and I'm looking forward to the game's release.
