I don't necessarily care about in game crosschat (firmware 3.10) or netflix, but it seems as though psn is hitting it hard in order to improve their FREE online experience as much as possible to compete with 360's pay service. Good move, sony.

the amount of time my xbox is powered on will diminish when this gets released
my 360 will be my rock band and alan wake machine

10-26-2009, 08:31 AM
My PS3 is used more often. The only thing I play on 360 is Call of Duty. I will be getting Alan Wake and Bayonetta for 360 though. Everything else PS3.
flipp jackson
10-26-2009, 08:47 AM
well alan wake is 360 exclusive so you won't have a choice with that one and the PS3 version bayonetta is supposed to be shitty
i'm thinking i may get mass effect 2 as well, but i'll have to get around to beating the first one before i make up my mind on that one

10-26-2009, 08:53 AM
i will probably still use my 360 more for netflix because it seems to get better wireless reception than the ps3 - at least for me. it's pretty awesome though to have multiple options for netflix. it will really come in handy if the gf wants to watch something and i'm playing the other system.

My 360 gets flawless wireless reception. I can't stream shit through my ps3 and I constantly get random network errors.

10-26-2009, 09:19 AM
i have less problems when i'm actually doing something online but as far as being signed in while playing an offline part of a game...pretty much a no-go. 360 never randomly signs me out...but it shouldn't since you pay for the service.

If the PS3 netflix gets better visual quality than xbox360 does, I'll be using that. The 360 netflix is almost flawless though.

Yeah my PS3s wireless reception is terrible, and I get signed out constantly. Don't play anything online with it because of that. Only play CoD online anyways.

I really can't figure it out either. I've had the same issue with 2 different routers now and every other wireless device in my house runs fine. I rarely get signed out of PSN but streaming video from my computer is a joke and even streaming music is iffy at best. I frequently get "File is corrupt" messages when I know there's nothing wrong with the file, and then the piece of shit won't even attempt to play it again. Again, no such issues with my 360. Hell, my iPhone streams music from my hard drive from across town better than my PS3 does from downstairs.

Kind of retarded, but it's better than not having the streaming.

i wonder if that has anything to do with microsoft coming out earlier this year and saying that netflix would be "exclusive" on the 360 for the foreseeable future.
i wonder if they had some sort of agreement that launching netflix from the dashboard was a 360 only thing (since technically the disc route the application isn't "ON the PS3") and that agreement ends "late 2010" when netflix says that they'll be able to put the netflix in the XMB? It's not like they couldn't figure out technologically how to make it work because using the blu-ray disc and blu-ray live internet connection is waaaay more complicated then just putting an app on the xmb on the next update
either way, while it's a bit strange to have to put the disc in, it's no more of an inconvenience then the 360 is when it has games on multiple discs

10-27-2009, 10:44 AM
you can stream netflix on so many things now, it's pretty odd that someone would only have the ps3 that is capable of doing it.
sony is really starting to look out for their customers though. it was only a matter of time and i'm digging it. they probably wanted to wait until the ps3 was making a profit before they invested more money into it. it's the little things like this that is gonna push sony past microsoft in this generation's console war.
neither of them are gonna catch the wii though in sales.

better late than never. they need a few more must have exclusives and do some of the exclusive bonus content (like batman) to keep their momentum going.
on madden this year, the numbers between 360 and ps3 were similar and there are more 360 owners, so that is promising. i love all my consoles and i want to see them all do well for my gaming enjoyment and their wallets so we can be assured the best product down the line.

Haven't had a lot of free time, but played Uncharted 2 for a few hours. I'm on chapter 16. Can't say anything about that game that hasn't already been said - it's fucking amazing.
Tekken 6 came out today and my friends and I have been playing the shit out of that all night. A little disappointed that there are no big monsterish characters. Tekken Tag is my favorite because there's so many goddamn characters. The new characters are pretty sweet, especially Bob, the fat fuck. The online is pretty good, but all depends on how your and your opponents connections are. Lags occasionally which makes playing online bazaar at first.
Got rid of brutal legend, didn't even finish it - it's cool at first, but I don't have time for this fucking game right now with how many better ones are out. 8bit and I will be starting the co op borderlands next week, so I imagine that will be taking way too much time to be healthy, but [so good.gif]. Fallout 3 goty and demon's souls are on the way, as well, but it's best to get Borderlands online experience while it's fresh.

Demon Souls is pretty cool (if you liked Kings Field especially) It is very time consuming you have to grind at some points or you are dead in the water (first playthrough took me 60+ hrs) if you don't have the time to put into it I would steer clear. Overall though it has been my favorite game this year (No I have not played Uncharted 2 nor will I probably think it is because it looks like the same stuff from one just prettier)

I beat Uncharted 2 last night and thought it was pretty sweet. I can't talk too much shit about how I thought it was easier because the last time I played Uncharted 1 it was on Crushing, so I just have to wait to compare them on Crushing (but the last boss was easy as fuck - run around and shoot blue things weeeeeeeeee).
Threw a halloween party last night and I went to take trash out this morning to the dumpster and fallout 3 goty was sitting on my door step. Sweetness. 8bit, you still down to start borderlands this week or are we waiting on your 2 other buddies? PM me their psn handles.

Holy shit :eek: That's FAR more intense then what I had imagined in my head. I can understand why there is controversy, though I believe it's bullshit, but if anything it makes for a far more dramatic game. I personally can't wait to start gunning the mother fuckers that did that attack. Yes, I understand it's just a game which is why I find it so amazing. I actually was upset by the actions of video game characters. I haven't felt liked that since... when? Sephiroth killing Aeris maybe?

11-01-2009, 02:49 PM
when i put in borderlands and go to online and get signed out, then put in uncharted 2 and play an online game just fine, then put in littlebigplanet and play an online game just fine, then put borderlands back in and go to multiplayer and get signed out all in a half hour span, its not a fucking router issue.
a lot of people are having the same problem im having. some can even play the game online if they use a secondary profile on their ps3, but as soon as they switch to their main one, it signs them out. no one routers when playing borderlands is the problem.

i'm so thankful for gamefly. there's so many games i wanted to play and got them shipped to me and they ended up sucking huge dick. i only read a few review sources (there's a couple people on here whose game opinions i agree with) so i try to never judge a game before i play it unless it just looks super lame or gets bad reviews everywhere. i haven't bought but a few games in the past year and i'm totally cool with that. it's got to be something i really, really want and am gonna play even after i'm finished with the meat of the game. luckily i also don't have the problems with gamefly that a lot of others have so it's all good with me.

Really? Does anyone think its not going to live up to all of the hype? I've been pretty secure this year knowing Uncharted 2 was going to deliver, and it did. I feel the same way about Modern Warfare 2.
i'm not going to play a whole lot of the multiplayer and i didn't care for the first one, so it probably won't live up to all the hype as far as i'm concerned. the game is so hyped up (probably more than any game in history) that anything less than complete perfection is going to be somewhat of a letdown. i'm not gonna bash the game or anything like that because i'm sure it's well done and will win a whole bunch of awards but i'm over first person shooters right now and haven't been into the call of duty series in some time. it's gonna take something extremely fresh and amazing to get me back into the whole fps scene. bioshock was the last fps that wowed me.

i hate to brag but i beat mad mel solo lol
dude, mad mel was the easiest boss of them all I think... get yourself an ok gun with an electric element (mine was a level 18 Hard Orion sniper, I think 190 damage), hop out of the car, it's a one shot kill (same with all other cars in the game)...
I beat the game solo on the weekend, the end felt like a huge ripoff... I know there's not much of a story but they could have at least made an effort for the ending... apparently the game gets better on the second playthrough though, different enemies/harder/better loot. I think I'm going to go back to uncharted 2, then finish leveling up my sniper before I try multiplayer... I'll have to start a few gams with the other classes too if I want to plat it, which is a little lame.
EA and DICE announced today that the multiplayer beta for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will launch on Thursday, November 19, exclusively on Sony's console. As with the recent God of War III demo, a beta code will be offered as a pre-order incentive from GameStop, Amazon and Best Buy (visit the game's official site to check which other retailers are participating).
The beta will focus on one of Bad Company 2's new multiplayer game types: Rush. This multi-stage battle takes place on a map called Arica Harbor, which is broken into unique areas for each round. American forces push forward on foot and in vehicles to scrap with Russian troops outside a military base, in an urban environment and eventually at the harbor itself in a "last stand" scenario.
EA plans to begin a PC round of the beta in December, followed up by an all-new multiplayer demo for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC early next year

2. Demon's Souls back to bestbuy.com and trade it in for MW2.

I used bestbuy.com and toysrus.com. ToysRus let me exchange my extra Uncharted 2 for borderlands in store, no questions asked. But then again, I didn't get U2 untill 2 weeks after release. Best Buy said that their online is a seperate entity, and although exchanges/refunds can be made at the store, the buy2get1 is really an isolated incident where they can't open a line for potential abuse. Thus making you go through a hassle of mailing shit or just saying fuckit and keeping what you got. I imagine I'll do the latter.

holy shit, killzone 2 is one of the lamest games i've ever played. i had quit playing a week or so ago because it was so gay but forced myself to finish it today. i have never seen such idiotic ai in my entire life. there was no point in having a partner with you because they did absolutely nothing. the weapons were bland, all the enemies looked the same and the final boss was the cheesiest and most anti-climatic battle i have experienced in a long time. on top of all that, the story sucks and the voice acting is annoying as fuck. at least it looked nice.

wtf?!?!
i'm not the only person on here that didn't like the game so i'm not having one of those "moments" i sometimes delve into. maybe the game was just too hyped up, i had been hearing so much praise since it came out (and i did read a few reviews prior to playing) that there was probably no way it would live up to it all. i enjoyed maybe 10% of the game - which was all at the beginning - and i didn't even try the multiplayer but i can't imagine it not sucking.

assassins creed 2 is absolutely incredible. i've barely even touched the actual story line missions and im loving every minute of it. there are some control and camera issues that have carried over from the first game but nowhere near as bad however. every other complaint i had has been addressed in the sequel. im pretty sure that we will see a 3rd installment set in modern day and you play as desmond, whos now trained as a real assassin and must take down abstergo.

ok so in the bad company 2 beta, the thing that is annoying me the most is when you die, the camera goes to the guy that killed you. doesn't sound so bad but if you've got a sweet spot and you're sniping, all the guys you killed now know where you are.
the sniper rifle itslef is a tad frustrating. you have to get out of the scope after every shot to reload the thing and i've shot multiple people in the head and they didn't die. a chest or head shot with a sniper rifle should be one shot kill.
other than that i'm having a blast with this and i'm not big on multiplayer shooters. can't wait for the final release.

getting out of the scope to reload is only on certain guns. id consider it an equalizer. the most powerful guns will have you reload after one shot. others like the qby have 10 shots.
for your missed head shots, keep in mind if youre far away there is bullet dropping. youre not shooting a laser so the farther away the more the bullet will drop from the middle of your cross hairs. compensate for it by aiming up a tad and youll get your head shot.

We don't live in Brazil, but from what we hear, it's not one of the most gamer-friendly places out there. Piracy runs rampant and whenever any kind of controversial game releases, citizens usually find their government won't let 'em play it. But, hey, things are kinda looking up!
Reader Renato wrote in to us saying the PS2 has finally officially released in Brazil and that consumers can get it from the Sony Style store now ... for the low, low price of 799 BRL (about 461 USD). That's right, Brazilians no longer need secure safe passage for emigrating consoles or pay ridiculous sums of money to third-party distributors and can instead pay ridiculous sums of money directly to Sony for a locally-supported PS2! Isn't that awesome?

i have one platinum
although playing god of war collection i think i may be able to pull off a platinum on one of these games, the trophies aren't as hard as i thought they'd be

i'm on my way towards a platinum trophy in gow1. my first ever. the only trophy i have left is beating it in 5 hours, so after i finish it in god mode, i'll go back and tear through it on easy.
challenge of the gods wasn't nearly as bad as i had anticipated.

I grabbed the Borderlands DLC yesterday but found out that the first mission is level 40 or 42, I'm currently level 37... I haven't had issues doing missions under leveled so far, but I'll probably miss out on new guns (if there are any) and it'll only get harder as you progress, so I'm putting it aside until I level up... the intro is great though.
where are you guys getting your psn stat images? mine is showing up in the less detailed square style

i can't remember how I did it initially. I know it's through eu.playstation.com - not the us site, so i linked my login account with this EU one and int worked. can't remember specifics though.

the missions dont start on any specific number, it just goes by your level. if your guy was level 12, it would adjust accordingly. if you level up more, so will the enemies, so just play through it.

so this ps3 thing is cool and all but for some reason it has white dots that will randomly appear when outputting in 1080p. All other modes work fine. I know its not the cable because it worked flawlessly with my previous bluray player and my friends fat ps3.

you mean the sparkles in the background of the home screen?
that came from the most recent firmware update

no, i was hoping that was the case actually. but they persist into games and web browsing. noticeable on all black screens. im not that pissed off because i wouldnt be able to tell the difference, but still, i want my tv displaying 1080p. seems like this is a prevalent issue based on some quick google searches.

never heard of that before
didn't happen on either of my playstation 3's
i wonder if it's a slim thing

my slim doesn't do it and i've never even heard of it before. i'd return it.

yeah that's suspect i'd trade it in for another
sync any trophies you have earned (if any) with the server, put your save files on a thumb drive and take it back

whats the best way to stream music from pc to ps3?
edit: it looks like wmp 11 works well for music, but ill need tversity for video, or can i do both with tversity?
dalb3
11-28-2009, 06:52 AM
You can do both with tversity. That's all I've ever used for video/audio. Just add your mp3 folders to your media center shared folders, click refresh, and boom goes the dynamite.

well fuck me. i exchanged it for a new one and the same thing happens.

then it's probably something in your setup
Jelkster
11-28-2009, 10:09 AM

yea, but whatever it is isnt my fault. the previous bluray player had no issues.
edit: and whats really weird is that when the ps3 is on the installing system update screen, the screen looks perfect and exhibits none of the problems i have discussed.

11-28-2009, 04:37 PM
jelk, if you sign up at the official ps3 forums, someone might be able to help you more if they experienced the same problems.

Just play it on 720p wahhhhhhhhh
blaine the mono
11-28-2009, 06:17 PM
a lot of ps3 games output to 720 anyway so it shouldn't be a big issue.
maybe it's a problem with that batch of consoles. i'd contact sony next.
mrboris
11-29-2009, 08:09 AM
is your tv set up with subchannels so its running at an imitated 1200Hz? or even 120Hz. PS3 runs at 60Hz and if your tv is set up for 120hz, most 120hz tvs have a switch to put it back down to 60. Could be the issue, I know with the my cable box if I have the tv on 120hz it causes issues because none of the signals are actually 120hz yet.

i dont think thats an issue with pioneer kuros.

is the tv hdcp compliant? my old 42 inch would have artifacting when outputting at 1080p but since i bought a new television it is fine.

yeah probably not but there's a slight chance that batch of systems had a defect. i don't really know what else it could be.

I thought that's what Prologue was? I'm expecting to be massively disappointed. I hope I'm wrong, but my hopes are at 4.2/10 at this point for it to be good.

We'll see, 4 didn't do much for me. I've been far more impressed with Microsoft's efforts since GT3. Rallisport Challenge and Forza were way better than GT4. I'm hoping they don't fuck it up, trust me. My hopes just are not high.
