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

Anyone know what the latest firmware did? It's version 1.93.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ahh, I knew I should have waited before buying the extra controller. Any announcements how much more the new controller is gonna cost? I'm hoping it's not more than 20 bucks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I agree with SlayerX, it would have been nice to have some actual TGS content. Very disappointing that the MGS4 TGS trailer didn't make it in the update, wasn't it supposed to hit the PSN ? Oh and that DMC4 trailer is the same one from GC, it's not even the one they showed at TGS.

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

For those aching to play GT5 Prologue, the demo is available on the Japanese PSN. Heh though it's all in Japanese. I just tried it out myself, pretty nice. There's a driver's seat view now (don't remember that being in GT4, then again I never really played it), and you can actually control acceleration and brakes using the right analog stick (heh, I seem to drive much better using it).

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

This is just bullshit, apparently dust voids your console's warrantly now. In Sony's eyes anyway. Now I gotta be even more anal about keeping my console clean (already got linen covering it, when not in operation obivously, to keep the cat hair out).

This is quite interesting

Quote:

A few reps said that the reason they couldn't replace it was because it looked as if it had about 2 years worth of dust in it rather than 8 months.

Sony: Dust Voids PS3 Warranty

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hahaha, wow, yea I take back my comment then. That's clearly consumer's neglect, however I wouldn't classify it as "life threatening", but definitely not good. When I read the article I was under assumption that the collected dust was internally in the system, I didn't think the guy was so lazy as to not keep the outside of it clean.

Too bad there's no ICO or Ace Combat themes. Haha pretty sweet how there's a Gears of War theme though.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Probably the biggest thing would be the disclusion of backwards capatibility for PS2 games. But if you don't mind that, then go for it.

FELIPE NO

Anyone check out the Siren: New Translation demo off the japanese PSN? Man, when you select and idle with it on the XMB you get this creepy female vocaling, I get goosebumps from it. Haha, though I gotta say, I think it would make for some great background noise during Halloween. Heh, freak out the neighbors.

The demo itself was kinda interesting, though the camera control is really messy. The way they set it up, I don't like it at all, it makes the game unplayable for me (motion sickness galore). It's a static camera, it resets back to its default angle, so rotating it doesn't really do you much good. Though, I do find it neat how they got english voice overs for their caucasian characters, kinda like Silent Hill.

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

Anyone check out the PSN store? They released the PixelJunk Monsters' soundtrack for one hell of a great price. Pay $3 and you get the 24 track (~41 min) soundtrack, plus there's no DRM protection on it so you can distribute it however you like (though they ask that you do so within legal means). I hope this is a continuing trend with the PSN and game soundtracks, as I'm willing to fork over the money at that price with no restrictions.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's also the option to do sequential playback of videos. Eg. you can have play an entire folder of trailers/vids, instead of playing one then closing it and opening the next. The option to replay for videos appears to be new too.
