Hi all,

I recently got my ps3 and although i am currently disappointed with the gfx and performance compared to xbox i am stll looking forward to trying it multiplayer.

This was a house warming present of sorts for me as just moved into new flat a week ago and still waiting on phoneline being installed so no internet at the mo, kinda what prompted the buy, no net or sky = boredom.

Could anyone tell me what the psn is like to play on? I heard that devs have to run servers for u to play on so hard to get games going etc and bad performance. Also what are *** chances of devs paying to run servers for long? Any plans for sony to incorporate a similar system to wii and xbox for the multiplayer down the line we are aware of?

Thanks in advance

ps. i know my 2 threads both seem like ps3 bashing threads, tahts not the intention i guess i am just looking for reassurance that i didnt buy a shiny black doorstop

Thanks guys sounds good. Just with EA shutting down mulitudes of servers like they are prone to do recently it just made me wonder how long servers for non EA games would run.

Not too fussed about friends list at the moment as only one of my mates has a ps3 so wont worry about that for now. Thanks again.

Just bought a PS3 the past friday, picked it up with 5 games and picked up The Darkness seperately too. The games I got with it were Resistance, F1, Motorstorm, Ridge Racer 7 and Call of Duty 3. Having a heap of fun with it thus far, the graphics are fine I think, even on the sub-par 360 ports. The lack of AA in the darkness is mildly annoying, but that's about it, it's still fun to play and still looks pretty good despite the jaggies.

Enjoy your purchase mate, don't get bogged down wondering if the grass is greener in the land of 360, because fact is right now it probably is. If the 360 was released at the same time as the PS3 however, I think you'd find the split between people's opinions to be 50/50. There's heaps up and coming for both consoles, pick up whatever you like the look of and just enjoy it.

Btw, my PSN name is Jarakin for any who want to add me to friends - not tried online games yet extensively, but shall in the future!

Thanks man enjoy yours too

Also i gather no1 can add you to friends yet on PSN but is hopefully a feature to be incorporated in near future.
