[PS3] PlayStation 3 Discussion Thread

Hell, I wish the 360 had the launch titles that the PS3 had, cause other then RidgeRacer and Condemned everything else was a let down.

As for the rumble feature, after ten years I don't even notice it anymore. As some of you may or may not know, the 360's wireless controller rumble shuts off when it gets to 30% battery life remaining, however mine still dies half way through a match, simply I never notice the rumble when it's working or not. And to tell you the truth, I'm more excited about it's motion sensor ability then I ever was about the rumble. However I'm only one person withing the crowd of mixed feelings about the situation.

However the one thing I'm REALLY disapointed about is how hard it is to get a PS3, sure the 360 was hard to find too, but not THIS hard. I have $760 cash sitting right in front of me for when I find a PS3 and STILL nothing... argh.

Mercury: You could very well be right, I don't know. I don't really watch many movies and I watch even less TV (only Family Guy, 24, & HOUSE).

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

well I may be wrong but I heard that sony had to remove the rumble feature because of a law suit, apparantly another compagny created the rumble feature before Sony and they sued Sony for it, and now Sony had to remove it....

I don't see the big deal about it. I'm playing game on my ps3 and I already forgot that the ps2 had a rumble feature...

How ya doing, buddy?

I dont know it just kind of was a little feature outside of the game that I loved to have.
The limitations of the production is that one big complaint people had all over though, so my rumble complaint is probably far and in between top priority to most people. I guess that is a plus to living on a college campus in a small town. Big enough student population to get a store nearby, but small enough to only have mediocre fans waiting to get the system.
1/10 people in line. . . 1/6 to get one opening day Woohoo!

P.S. Inhert where did you get your sig picture? I've been looking for someone or somewhere to get an FFXIII sig made.

Most amazing jew boots

Balikruxh: You could download the FF XIII trailer from gametrailers.com and just make your own pics by freezing the video at the desired stance.

Inhert: You'd be correct. The company was Immersion who sued both Sony and Microsoft. However before going to court Microsoft bought Immersion, dropped the case against Microsoft and then increased the fine to an amount that would put Sony out of business if they were to pay the fine. And then before the case even got to court Microsoft sold the company to some other company and in the end forced Sony to cut the rumble feature. The only reason why Sony doesn't say that is because they don't want to admitt that Microsoft got to them.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

can someone explain me how to make the sixaxis work on a computer, because I did exactly what was in the link provided and I can't seem to make it work...

Double Post:
nevermind I got it working ^^ and it's weird but PSU was more fun with a controller than a keyboard XD

FELIPE NO

HELL YA!!! I FINALLY GOT ONE!!!

However it's taken 5minutes for the update to get to 25%, does it usually take this long? Also do the demos take a long time to download too?

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

Slayer how did you get it? i thought the shipment was all sold?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I went to FutureShop at 7:30AM and when they opened at 9AM they had 3 60GB PS3s and I was the first one in line, hence I got one. It's as easy and random as that.

UPDATE:
Man this is killer. The system actually emulates surround sound for MP3s & CDs, something I wish my 360 could do. Also does anyone know how to select the dune buggies in the MotorStorm demo? I could do it on the EB games kiosk, but I can't remember how to do it on my demo.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

my ps3 story is kind of lame i guess...

at launch i was waiting outside of wallmart for a good 12 hours before a manager came out and said no lines where to be forumed

clearly otehrs had the same idea i did... and it was to late to go to another store...

so i waited and waited i started a total of 36 hours before store opend and i needed my 60 gig...

only in the end i was shafted by wall mart

they said at 10am prior to the selling of the units.

"we are going to do a raffle for those who are here"

i was first in line shouldnt it be first come first served i cryed.

but in the end it didnt matter... they ran the raffle

they had 6 60 gig units and 4 40 gigs and 4 vouchers for 60 gigs

and i was the last to be called. and only got a 20 gig

most people there like 9 of them wanted the ps3 to sell online.

me i wanted a 60 gig for the ps3 > psp conectivity

sad and dishartend i waited and got my 20 gig.

i wanted a 60 gig and will still get one. after i sell my 20 online ill try for a 60... because well i need a 60gig ps3...

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

Inhert: I know you guys were talking about this already on the last page, however I'd just like to clarify something. Is the HDCP protection also on PS3 games? Because I could have sworn that the protection was only on the BR-movies. I wanted to hook my PS3 up to my monitor also via DVI, but if you're sure that it won't work without HDCP support then I'll just have to believe you. (My monitor is a ViewSonic VA1912wb)

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

According to what I've heard, Sony chose to encrypt everything coming out of the HDMI out. So Inhert's experience is what will likely happen to anyone without an HDCP compliant display device.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I like how I randomly walked into a Best Buy yesterday 6PM and found one. They only had 60GBs too! I laugh at all the people who camped for a week to get one before the end of the year.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

miles your lucky lol i have had a hell of a time trying to obtain a 60 gig ps3...

i cant belive they wouldnt do a voucher for me for there next shipment of 60 gig ps3's T.T

well after my 20 sells i am going to end up paying 300$ more for a 60 gig on ebay then they are worth.

only thing i dont get is why where all the good games pushed back tell march or april of next year (lair, fatal inertia, eye of judgement, ect.)

How ya doing, buddy?

This is the same thing I've been hearing in various places, that some stores have no 20GB models. Others have 20GB ones, but no one wants to buy them (so much for the machine being expensive) and are waiting for more premiuim units.

NNTB, my guess is that they pushed the games back to around March to make the console that more appealing in Europe. It was, literally, the least they could do after that massive delay.

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

Not only because the system comes out in Europe till march but also there will be plenty more consoles sold/available in the NA market by that time too therefore more software will sell then then it would at this time. Finally I'm sure that a lot of developers actually needed that time in order to complete the games they're working on, and if it costs me two months of waiting to get stable framerates and less bugs, then I'm all for it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The machine also looks more appealing due to improved firmware, smoothed out wrinkles, etc.. Basically, Sony's padding the very difficult reality that most Europeans will have to swallow: This is an expensive machine, and they're going to try and justify the cost as much as possible.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just wanted to share a very fun multiplayer option in Resistence.

Create a game with the following parameters:

Sniper Rifle only

Hedgehog Grenade

Infinite Ammo

One Hit Kills

At least up to 20 players

A setting with high areas (like the Rooftops)

Experience true tension. I had a ton of fun the other night (dodge a sniper shot, dash up to the guy and pow, melee hit).

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

I tried some PS2 and PS1 games for the heck of it. Star Ocean 2 worked fine. Suikoden 5 seemed like it loaded a little bit faster. As soon as I popped in Tales of the Abyss it looked like pure crap. The anime scene looked weird and pixelated. The in game text and graphics look like shit. What gives? Has anyone else tried Tales of the Abyss on a PS3?

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

well there's a problem with ps2 on ps3, most of the time all ps2 game look like crap... we're still waiting on a update for this...

personally I just have a regular tv so this problem doesn't affect me much because I don,t really see the difference (but yes there's one but not that apparent on a regular tv) but if I can see some jaggy here and there on a regular tv I can't imagine are crappy it could look on an HDTV >.<

and yes I see some pixel on the TotA viddeo, but I saw them in the FFX CG too... and yes a lot of aliasing in-game too ...

How ya doing, buddy?

Sony better fix this soon. I was planning on finishing some of my Ps2 games on here because my ps2 console is old and gets disc read errors randomly.

That's the same reason many people are citing when they mention the PS3's spotty upscaling and/or horrible IQ. It shouldn't be too much to fix in firmware, unless it's something that's hardware based.

FELIPE NO

Wait, didn't they just fix this, or at least announce a patch was on the way? I could have sworn...

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

They're constantly fixing it, there's already been three patches, all of which have fixed many issues. Me personally though I have a 720P display and there have been very few instances where I've had any real issues with any of my PS2 games.

By the way I have 125 PS2 games with a few also out on lend. However depending what type of games you play there may be some variation to experiances. (I play mostly RPG, Music & Fighting games)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Before anyone here explodes for no reason. Question (cause I wont bother reading old posts) ^^;.

I'm trying to update the latest firmware for ps3 using just my memory stick (from the psp) . Where do I put it and in what folder? thanks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You need the 60 gig version if you want to plug in the memory stick :P (I"m assuming you don't ) and it should be in the front if you do
