the ps3 browser is such a joke... have you tried to use youtube on it?

Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Thursday, 9 August 2012 20:38 (eleven years ago) link

it actually works pretty well! i use it for live al-jazeera

i suppose i could blame the bbc for using a version of flash incompatible with older browsers but..... really sony, just update your fucking flash in one of your endless series of system updates

The Playstation 3 is MISTAH KURTZ HE DEAD

Froze on startup screen. Restarted, it loaded the xmb literally ten times slower than usual, then refused to play a film. Went to safe mode and tried to restore file system but it froze. Restarted normal mode and it offered to rebuild file system, got to 100% and then froze on restart. Tried again, same again.

oof that's awful

Still got the last best hope of full system restore, bye bye Wipeout data (but no more than that).

kmfdotm (ledge), Tuesday, 14 August 2012 20:09 (eleven years ago) link

Ooh it's coming back to life!

kmfdotm (ledge), Tuesday, 14 August 2012 20:13 (eleven years ago) link

Ooh the file system is still corrupted!

sorry ledge. That sucks.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 14 August 2012 20:56 (eleven years ago) link

Its ok I did a full restore and it works! And the film that didn't play still doesn't! But other ones do!

kmfdotm (ledge), Tuesday, 14 August 2012 21:00 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah! I think.

My PS3 made some worrying noises when I tried to eject a DVD (wasn't sure if there was anything in it). After a sweaty few minutes of power off/power on/try ejecting, it finally spat out a DVD. It then played another DVD fine (Princess Mononoke, since you ask), so I celebrated by buying 3D Dot Game Heroes, which I've been meaning to pick up since, well, whenever it came out. I'm sure I'll get bored of it a few hours in, but I love the idea.

omg Tokyo Jungle is getting a western release in September. GOTY here, folks!

PSN only, but $14.99/£9.99/€12.99/AUS$19.95

Finally, a reason to switch on the PS3.

I don't think I've had this visceral a WANT reaction to a game since the heyday of Jet Set Radio/Space Channel 5/Samba de Amigo

It reminds me of any number of crazy-looking-but-basically-rubbish Japanese games from the PS1/PS2 days, but has SCE Japan Studio ever actually made a bad game? It's hard to think of one. So this really could be a great as it looks.

JimD, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 13:52 (eleven years ago) link

Sleeping Dogs is fun. Yakuza series transposed onto GTA engine... but a Japanized version of GTA. Hints of Shenmue.

demo up on PSN. Downloading it now.

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 22 August 2012 01:51 (eleven years ago) link

now that i am working again i am looking around for a used PS3, so i can JOIN YR RANKS SOON (and mostly play mlb the show)

Wondering if we can get a sort of "ILG recommends" thing going on kinda like C&P, but not ranked/etc, just little blurbs on what new owners need to check out?

#1 Thwartstop Prospect (Will M.), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 15:21 (eleven years ago) link

I'm enjoying Sound Shapes.

three weeks pass...

so they just announced a new PS3 hardware revision, except its slightly more expensive and

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww why would you do that????

zappi, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 16:04 (eleven years ago) link

great, even less convenient for people who store their consoles on shelves

Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 16:13 (eleven years ago) link

That's horrible!

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 16:25 (eleven years ago) link

guh. any other "benefit" at all?

This cad needs a cordial introduction to Eugene of Oxbow. (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 16:47 (eleven years ago) link

  • drive mechanism will break and also crack the inside edge of the discs.
  • it's more expensive?
  • it costs the same as a WiiU
Oh you meant 'benefit for Sony' - none at all as far as I can see.

a great poke for Jet Set Willy (snoball), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 16:52 (eleven years ago) link

i would assume its a lot cheaper to make, so should benefit their bank balance

zappi, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 16:58 (eleven years ago) link

which needs all the help it can get!

zappi, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 16:59 (eleven years ago) link

What's really perplexing are the comments from the fanboys saying that it looks better that the current PS3 slim. It's like a PS3 shaped children's lunchbox.

a great poke for Jet Set Willy (snoball), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 17:02 (eleven years ago) link

Actually what's really perplexing is Sony's decision making here. This holiday season, the last before the PS4 drops, would have been a chance to drop the price and sell PS3 slims on the arguments: 1) it's cheap, 2) there's a load of games, many of which are classics this gen, 3) another 10-12 months of titles, 4) you can actually find one in a store as opposed to the already mostly sold out WiiU.

Tokyo Jungle downloadable next week I think

pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 17:19 (eleven years ago) link

I dunno, I kinda like the way the new one looks. are re: This holiday season, the last before the PS4 drops -- is this confirmed? I am NOT seeing this happen imo. I don't know anything but I wd guess 14.

#1 Thwartstop Prospect (Will M.), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 17:26 (eleven years ago) link

Not confirmed, but are Sony really going to let Microsoft have an almost 1 year headstart, and Nintendo a nearly 2 year headstart?

― a great poke for Jet Set Willy (snoball)

Their decision making has been perplexing for the last six years!

Seriously though, I can imagine it's possible they just can't afford to release these consoles at a much cheaper price. I don't think it's that ugly. Actually none of the consoles this generation have been appealing looking. It's definitely nice that it's smaller (and uses less power).

JCL, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 17:42 (eleven years ago) link

i just wished they'd dropped the price some more, since it's obviously a cheaper build

that said, i'm shocked MS and Sony haven't put out some info to try to spoil Nintendo's season a little, ala PS2/Dreamcast

Nhex, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:31 (eleven years ago) link

but yeah it looks fine to me more or less

Nhex, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:31 (eleven years ago) link

is MS confirmed holiday 2013? i shd probably know these things but i was def under the impression that we were talking holiday 14 for both of em.

#1 Thwartstop Prospect (Will M.), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:40 (eleven years ago) link

no, just rumors... a bunch of devs have already started working on games for the upcoming systems, but assuming they started this summer, 18 months of dev time isn't that great for launch titles. 2-3 years is more believable

Nhex, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:42 (eleven years ago) link

but the last guardian is DEFINITELY confirmed for holiday 2012 right

Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:52 (eleven years ago) link

there was a rumour a while back that MS were aiming for holiday 2013 but were having production problems with chip production - no idea how true that was though.
just realised that WiiU will have playable versions of 2D Mario, Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter at launch. if that doesn't shift hardware then Japan will surely be signaling that they are abandoning consoles for good.
