Sony Repartee

I just ordered a PS3 yesterday from Best Buy. It's the bundle that comes with Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack In Time and LittleBigPlanet. I'm already planning to buy the older R & C game as well as Uncharted 1.

I have 60+ games for my 360, so I don't need any multiplatform titles. Also, I've never played a Metal Gear Solid game, so MGS4 is out. Also, Killzone 2 looks good, but I don't see myself leaving Modern Warfare to play it. What exclusives would you recommend?

Uncharted 1 & 2

So.....I got the PS3 bundle from Best Buy, and now whenever I turn it on, or go online with it, it knocks off everything else off the network.

....fuck

Wait, you won't get MGS4 because you've never played the other games? Dude, you should totally not let that stop you. MGS4 was the first one for me, too, and it got me into the rest of them on PS2.. but even still it has a kick ass multiplayer online mode!

Also, get Uncharted 2 and/or Modern Warfare 2 (or did you say you had that?) and add me to your PSN list - wquinn

It could be your router.. I've heard some routers aren't so friendly with the PS3.

Yeah, I've read that too.

Tried a couple of suggested solutions, and none of them worked. Shit.

Have you tried picking up an ethernet switch & using that instead of hooking everything into the router?

Yeah, I have Modern Warfare 2 and will be getting Uncharted 2 later on after I finish the first one. I'll definitely add you once my system gets here, though.

Question for those using Netflix on PS3. How is the streaming quality and what kind of internet connection do you have?

I have At&t DSL Elite, which is their fastest, but it is still probably a little slower than a cable internet connection. Anyone using DSL and have good or bad things to say about streaming quality?

 

[Matt Young]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PSP, etc.

I get a great signal with Netflix on my 360. I won't have my PS3 till later today, but my friend who has one says the quality on the PS3 is better.

 

[cheex incarnate]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PSP, etc.

yeah, compared to my friend's xbox 360 netflix streams, my ps3 is noticeably better

 

[Cartman]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PSP, etc.

I cannot compare to the 360 Netflix, but the PS3 version looks REAL good and i'm on FiOS.

I signed up for the PSN today under the name MattYoung730. I'm not sure if friend requests show up like on Xbox Live or whatever, but if you add me, let me know.

 

[NoCalMike]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PSP, etc.

Well the positive feedback has me leaning towards signing up with netflix immediately.

My friend's PS3 destroyed his Borderlands disc. He had been playing it a lot since Friday, already up to level 31, and all of a sudden got a disc read error. He ejected the disc, and found that one side had been split in half. Gamestop replaced the game and marked it up as defective. I've heard of disc drives rubbing grooves into discs when the unit gets bumped while running, but not actually snapping a disc in half.

Well Blu Rays are basically scratch proof...

Use this to stream or copy files to your PS3 from PC.

Anybody else use this? Anyone else having problems since the latest PS3 udpate?

My step brother's PS2 once snapped a GTA III disc.

I just got my PS3 on Monday, and I've been loving Little Big Planet since. It's got this great charm to it, the gameplay is great, and the music is tit-punchingly awesome. I haven't even touched the create modes yet!

I just use windows media player to stream PC files on my PS3. Just go into options and click the "share" box and then your PS3 will identify it....

Yeah mediaplayer streaming is the shit. You tell it what folder to share and BOOMSHAKALAKA.

Yes but what I meant was, has anybody else started having problems since the PS3's latest update? It was streaming fine before but now jumps, skips, stops, everything.

sounds like a connection problem more than anything.

Giantbomb's fucking amazing look at the new Rogue fucking Warrior:

It's also on the Xbox fucking 360.

I heard this game sucked all kinds of ass..?

 

[Matt Young]

I'm so close to beating LBP, and then I've just run into the most impossible fucking bullshit ever- the level, "The Bunker", by The Collector. It's not hard till I get to the big giant spinning wheel of death from hell (TM). I just cannot get past that part. Only twice did I even get to the second checkpoint within the wheel. I just want to scream.

 

[FLAM]

Sony - PlayStation 3, PSP, etc.

Haha, yeah, that wheel is crazy. Hardest level in the game by far. You'll get it.

Yeah, apparently. It looks like it fucking sucks, and the campaign is beatable in 3 fucking hours.

I finally beat it a short while ago. I almost lost my remaining lives in the section after that, but I got through on my last life.

The ending was a huge letdown. 30 seconds long, barely even worth it. There weren't even any credits. the game as a whole was excellent, though.

Anybody play the Dante's Inferno demo? Plays exactly like God Of War. I had fun with it but since I just got God Of War Collection and will no doubt get God Of War III, this is something I won't spend $60 on. The main character is pretty crappy looking, and the graphics didn't look so great. It's good for a rip off though. And since it's also going to be on the 360, I guess it'll be cool for people who can't play God Of War.

Oh yeah, plenty of nudity in the demo. Totally caught me off guard.
