The Playstation 3 is IDENTITY THEFT

custom firmwares surfacing already, jeez those guys are quick. also Heavy Rain is terrible.

a list of PS3 games which can be played with a fightstick (not including actual fighting games):

- Pac-Man CE DX
- Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
- NBA Jam
- Tetris

to be continued

Playstation 3 is currently a game system with a lot of good looking exclusives for 2011

can't believe Hyperdimension Neptunia is getting localised, looks the epitome of otaku bullshit

"um, you still can't pirate games for it"

what was that weird USB thing that they ported to TI calculators, and now people are hooking up their TI calculators to PS3s during boot for?

can't believe Hyperdimension Neptunia is getting localised, looks the epitome of otaku bullshit

haha seriously i was like o_O at that link when the 1st two games were obscure even by the genre's standards nis imports

then i got SOCOM 4 and stopped caring again

The Playstation 3 is currently a game system which now runs a gang of emulators:

not dicking around w/ haXoring until there's a way to automatically disable the game list reporting (which is apparently how Sony gonna gitcha), but if this means I can play MAME on my TV with my joystick I am alllllllll for it

Yeah totally. If I can get it running MAME maybe I'll actually have a reason to turn the thing on now and again. Cos that list of exclusives definitely isn't going to do the job.

Looking forward to XBMC for PS3 actually. And it'll be nice if somebody hacks PS2 compatibility back into it.

- Last Guardian
- SoC and Ico HD
- Uncharted 3
- Beyond Good and Evil HD

Those are 4/5 games right there that I'm going to buy sight unseen when they come out

I never liked BG&E very much but it's good to see it finally cop some recognition to meet its reputation. Never played SoC and only spent 10 mins with Ico so particularly pumped for those.

i've never played the uncharted games. played the demo of the first one once and just kept on getting killed (n.b. i am not a noob), lots of my friends swear by them though, so maybe i should give them a shot.

I had the exact same experience w/the first one, hated it, but the second one is fucking magnificent

cool, will get a loan off one of my friends of the second one.

Ok yeah, I'll get the Ico pack. But remakes don't count. And the rest of the list still looks meh to me.

Thought Uncharted 2 was hugely overrated too (didn't try the first). I guess if you liked the original Tomb Raider games it might appeal, but it's really only a flashy update of that same old idea.

i adored the first Tomb Raider and would play all this games

journey look interestin. maybe i should try flower or flow first though.

Release date: Holiday 2011

us ilxors plz explain...

happy holiday

tomb raider 2 was amazing. used to play it and listen to dj shadow. nostalgia :'(

xp that's what i thought. i think.

yeah i could dig some tomb raider type action.

actually yeah Tomb Raider 2 was pretty good. i didn't like the humans interrupting my private time with Lara but all the Venice stuff was amazing

Oh you guys, you're reminding me why I preferred the N64 to the PSX.

oh jim you're reminding me that you prefer f-zero to wipeout.

Hoping inFamous 2 will be this year's dark horse as the first game was awesome and criminally ignored

"holiday" means christmas out here

the 2011 title most prominently appearing on my DO WANT list is probably Motorstorm: Apocalypse

Journey looks pretty amazing

Journey, Last Guardian and Ico/Colossus are basically my most wanted games for this year.

My PS3 is basically my blu-ray player at this point. I barely ever use it for games.

But that's fine, because I love blu-ray.

do we have an f-zero Vs. wipeout poll

WIPEOUT

it's great for netflix; far better interface and speedier loading than the 360

Yeah, but it's important to me that my xbox friends know I'm watching 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain.

the Playstation 3 is about to be a game system which has Mass Effect 2 available on PSN! if you have a gameshare group going it comes out to like $12/person.

gosh, i sure would like a gameshare group YOU FUCKERS

Sorry forks, I just don't play enough games (or want to play more, to be honest).

whoa, i just noticed 4oD and iTVPlayer have popped up in the menu... wow.

that is like more TV than i'll ever need.

Match of the Day is like the last remaining reason for me to keep my DVR..

so... could not get anything with a content warning to actually play on 4oD via PS3... any button i pressed just dumped me back to the selection screen.

check your parental lock settings, when I downloaded the big Lebowski, it wouldn't play till I reset the parental level to 0. the password is 0000 in case you need that.

It was weird as I have been playing teh adult games since I bought it.

and if the PS3 saw the kind of stuff I'd been looking at through the web browser. it probably wouldn't have made such a big deal about the big Lebowski....

weird. you're talking about the parental lock on the PS3 as a whole?

Every time I try to play a game on my PS3 is takes me 15 minutes to update.

I've considered getting a PSP+ account solely just for the automatic update dling.

it makes a difference!

jfc they COULD do that but they don't?? as a hook to get you to sign up? that is unconscionable bullshit iirc

Mmmm, Sony's admission that a free network is too expensive to run. PSN Plus is garbage imo.

Microsoft deserves a high five sometimes.

y'know i've def got my money's worth from ps+. some shit games, some great ones; it's a subscription service for content. I like it.

Playstation Plus is currently a gaming service which offers cloud storage! I finally have a reason to sign up for this retarded bullshit.

yeah that might push me over the edge too

Is this really that useful? I can imagine maybe making use of savegames in the cloud if I had a living room PS3 and a bedroom PS3, but that's never going to happen (multiple 360s are more likely though I guess, if MS copy this). Beyond that, what would people use it for?

If your system gets a yellow light of death you won't lose your saves.

I got a YLOD last month. Sony wanted $180+ for repairs. So I bought a new one and sold the broken one on ebay for $100. What sucks is that it's next to impossible to eject a disc from a broken PS3, so I had to sell Final Fantasy XIII with it. no great loss.
