[PS3] PlayStation 3 Fan Noise. Annoyingly loud, ain't it?

As I've now gone and ordered a PS3, what are the platforms absolute must-have exclusive titles? And, which titles are actually BETTER on PS3 than on the 360? (Oh, please Lord, don't let that question ignite a flame war or something...)

On my list I have Uncharted, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword. On the not-so-sure-if-must-have are Resistance, Folklore and Lair. Any suggestions? I have to admit, it IS not that easy a question to ask due to differing tastes, but every console does have some defining titles, and I'm just trying to root out which these are for the PS3.
And yes, I have preordered MGS4, and will probably also get Little Big Planet.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Heavenly Sword is an alright game, but it's hard to recommend getting it at full price because it's so short (my sister only played the game for a couple of hours every weekend and still managed to beat it within three weeks). If you can find it cheap I'd say get it, but otherwise it's a rental at best.

Folklore is awesome if you're into Action/RPG games. Play the demo first to make sure you like it (well, I guess that's true of all the games you mentioned, except for Lair, which doesn't have one), but yeah, I would definitely say this is a must buy.

And while this doesn't necessarily make the game better than the 360 version, Stranglehold: Collector's Edition is a good game that has the advantage of coming with the movie Hard Boiled on the disc. I haven't played the full game myself yet, but the demo was fun and it's pretty cheap now.
I rarely buy games at full price. There are of course exceptions, mostly games I'm absolutely hyped about, like MGS or GTA, but other than that, I usually get them pre-owned (though NOT at gamestop/EB - they're even a plague here in Germany) or budget versions.
I'd be pretty intrested in how much better Lair gets with analog controls. It's got such an awesome soundtrack... That alone makes me want to play the game...
And I kind of tend to forget that I can get demos for most games online now. My head is still stuck with the idea of the last generations of offline consoles...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So. My PS3 arrived yesterday, now I have some minor questions:
As with the 360, my screen / TV doesn't support native 1080p/i, as it's "just" HD ready not Full HD. 22" 16:10 screen. But! The PS3 automatically sets the video output to 1080p. Which actually works. But I'm not sure if the un-downscaled, native 780 solution shouldn't actually work / look BETTER. And I take it, that I should keep the screen in 16:9 mode, right?
Plus there are some shenanigans with the network connection, as it won't let me rout it through my PC, as I did it with the 360. It does work though when I just plug it to the modem and let it go online via PPoPE. Seems I should actually get me a REAL router now.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It's disguised. For epic lulz.

I'd love to purchase Siren as DLC, but it's impossible.
"Virtual" or electronic credit cards are no longer accepted by Sony for the PSN Store, and it's on sale EVERYWHERE but in Germany, due to the German store being a fucking joke, only offering games up to the 12+ rating because... I don't REALLY know why. MS' Live Store does offer stuff up to 18+ IIRC (or 16+ at least...). And due to there not really being a possibility (I know of) of purchasing stuff with fake accounts...
So there's no Siren for us, maybe we'll get it on Bluray when it hits the rest of Europe.
Hopefully that'll be AFTER my import-Bluray from somewhere in Asia has arrived. >_>
Seriously Sony... Everyone is laughing at this.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Question: Is there a store besides YesAsia which actually ships PS3 stuff to the European Union?
Just noticed that a REAL lot of good games on PlayAsia won't be shipped to us, so I was just wondering....

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yep. Japanese / Asian stuff. Isn't it usually the pan-asian versions that also feature english menus?
My Japanese copy of Siren - New Translation does not, while I read the Asian version (which YesAsia didn't sell) did supposedly have those.
I'm usually busy playing local releases, but if a similar act of stupidity would arise again from Sony, I'd like to know in advance where to place my order.

FELIPE NO

Lemme just quote myself there.
Play-Asia doesn't import most of the Sony games into the EU.

Additional Spam:
Oh and guess what.
Bionic Commando: Rearmed also is unavailable on German PSN, cause it's a 16+ game.
Not that I care, I'll get it on XBL then, but still... This is such a fucked up joke... O_รด

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
