At the moment im debating between a PS3 and a laptop after Christmas. So can anyone answer me some questions? Is online play free or does it cost money like XBOX Live? And also, I know it isn't backwards compatible for PS2 games, but can it play PS1 games? Also, does PS3 connect wirelessly? As in, I wont have to buy any additional hardware to connect to my router? (Like for Xbox I'd need a wireless adapter)

Does anyone here own the PS3 Slim? Me and killerwatt are thinking about buying a new one, since our current one is nearly out of warranty and seems to be running a little slow,

I do ^^ it doesn't get as hot/warm as the fat version. It's much more quiet too.

 

Does Uncharted 2 have offline multiplayer?

No.

 

I'm fairly certain only the launch models are backwards compatible for PS2. I think all of them are backwards compatible for PS1, though.

I think it's region locked for PS2/PS1 games though.

Got emailed a Modnation Beta key and limited edition theme. Will work only on US accounts, who wants?

 

Me please!

 

Though, are you sure you don't want it yourself?

So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth,

These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf,

Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in,

Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything,

Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel,

Tear up the book and write your own damn rules,

Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got,

And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut,

And realise that the other world that you're always looking for,

Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door,

And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas,

After all, you were put on the earth to do this,

So shine your light so bright that all can see,

Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.

My brother and I are asking for a Ps3 for christmas and I was wondering if the games I asked for were a good choice. I asked for God of War Collection and LittleBigPlanet, and I'll probably rent UC2 before I buy it to try it out. Do these seem good?

Even if it's a dumb story, telling it changes other people just the slightest little bit, just as living the story changes me. An infinitesimal change. And that infinitesimal change ripples outward-ever smaller but everlasting. I will get forgotten, but the stories will last. And so we all matter-maybe less than a lot, but always more than none.

If you like FPS get MW2 and rent/borrow MW. Another great adventure set is Assasians creed 1 + 2

I already have an Xbox and my friends have them so I get multiplayer games for that, so the Ps3 will be mainly for the exclusives and some single player games. Thanks for the advice though

God of War Collection's..well it's a nice collection especially since GW3's coming in March and if you haven't played the first two. If you're going to get LBP, make sure you get the game of the year edition. And I think Uncharted 2's a must-have.(and the multiplayer rocks :thumbsup: ) You might also want to check out Killzone 2, Demon's Souls and Dragon Age:Origins.

Okay, thanks, it looks like the Ps3 will be taking up a lot of my time from now on o.o

I'm not just basing this off of the responses in this thread but over the past month from my own general observations and conversations with people I feel like the PS3 is going to be the number #1 console sold this holiday season. I think the recent price drop has a lot to do with that too. I don't think anyone would disagree that the PS3 is better then the Xbox 360 the only different before hand was that the MSRP of the PS3 was like $100 more then the 360 and now that they are basically at an even price point we're going to see PS3 sales increase this Holiday season.

 

 

The biggest issue with the Ps3, and why the Xbox was so much better was because of games. The Xbox came out with Halo 3 and Gears of War right off the bat. All the Ps3 had was Resistance, which, while entertaining, just isn't as good as Gears. Hell, I don't think ANYTHING has come close to gears, although the latest Battlefield game looks like it will give it a run for its money. Ps3 is going to destroy the Xbox next year, with releases such as FFXIII, Star Ocean 4, God of War 3, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and that's just the first 3-4 months of the year. You can bet your [wagon] a new Ratchet and Clank will most likely be out, as will possibly the next MGS series, GTA's new game.. Yeah 2010 is going to be the year of the Ps3. Throw in the Ps3 slim is much cheaper, more efficient, and quieter then both Xbox360 and the original Ps3. Then theres the absolutely amazing amount of content on PSN, which, out of all of it my favourite is FFVII being available for $10. Yeah, Ps3 is going to rock next year. Xbox may win with its graphics card, but nothing on the market can scratch the Ps3's processor. I just bought myself a Ps3 for Christmas, got it at a absolute bargain, $355 for a 250g Ps3 slim, MW2, COD4, and 2 controllers. Gotta love Ebay:D.

Massive sale on the PSN store right now for us UK people, and let me tell you, it's a good day to be a Brit.

 

Highlight is Burnout Paradise Big Surf Bundle for £19.99 (which I have just bought), and Burnout Paradise for £13.99.

 

Full list here.

So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth,

These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf,

Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in,

Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything,

Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel,

Tear up the book and write your own damn rules,

Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got,

And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut,

And realise that the other world that you're always looking for,

I thought R&C: A Crack In Time's the last one? The first quarter's packed, I'm almost certain I'm gonna be broke. Heavy Rain and Gran Turismo 5's coming in Feb too.

A crack in time is the last one in the zoni thing I think.

Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens was a catostrophic geological event, in reality it was the day that Jimi Hendrix returned to Earth from the next world and actually stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand.

Hustle Kings looks pretty good, might pick that up along with the MGS + PotC LBP level kits.

 

And for anyone that's interested The Hut and 7 Day Shop sell £20 PSN cards for £15.75.
