PS3 should I/Shouldnt I?

Oh, does any place on the highstreet sell cheap HDMI cables, I would like to pick one up today but not if it means paying over £20 when I can get them for £7 online.
 
I read earlier today that Sony are planning on releasing the 80Gb PS3 with full backwards compatibility and rumble controllers sometime later this summer.

This is when I'm likely to make my move :)

Hi Guys,

Iv come into a bit of cash which is burning a hole in my pocket, I have been toying with the idea of getting a PS3 now that the HD war is decided its making me think even more that the PS3 is worthy buy. Just have a few questions.

Are there any stand out game available yet that are truly AAA titles?

Are the new controllers bundled with them yet?

Is a new version just on the horizon, would want to buy one then a slinkier, better specced unit gets released the month after.

I got mine for 8 euro in my local hypermarkets perhaps tescos or somewhere has them.
 
Well I got it, just spent the last hour setting it up, digging out my the email with my user ID I registered around 2 years ago. Updating software, and just left it downloading a few demos now. Havent even unwrapped uncharted yet.

Inatial impressions are

  • Nice machine, looks well built
  • Totally Silent - XBOX360 take note
  • Nice Menus, a little confusing but they look nice
  • PSN is average at best, no where near as good as XBL, but at least its FREE
  • Controller, yuk yuk yuk, The main reason I have held off buying a PS3, time to order a DS3

After all the demos have downloaded Ill spend a good while playing on the games and ill see how I get along with it as a console, Im also going to nip out later and buy Ratatoui as its suppsoed to be the best quality Blu Ray film out at the moment, and its a great fun movie.

Oh, anyone that wants to add me, feel free, user id is

I was thinking of buying buying a PS3 but decided against it as Im perfectly happy with my comp and Wii tbh (you may say they suck but i like mine and it hasnt gone wrong yet). Btw a question for 360 owners, are they REALLY that unreliable?
 
Well everyone i know whos had one, has had to replace it. I've just bought my brothers cheap and my god it sounds like a bloody hair dryer :(

I'm impressed with XBL tho.

Not now no, If you get a new one, You have to be pretty unlucky for it to fail. You missed the armageddon like failure rates, They were launch consoles and the odd revision after that.

Ah ok, are the elite models more reliable than the older versions or are they pretty much on a similar par?

No, they're not now. They're plenty reliable if you get the new models.
 
Picked one up myself today a PS3 very impressed with it, nice solid build very quiet compared to the 2 xbox 360's i had, got Uncharted and Assasins Creed which are both very good, ordering GT Prologue tmz and some bluerays.

Downloaded a few demo's very impressed with the F1 game looks sweet so does motorstorm, more buying coming i guess.
 
Hi guys, been playing on all the demos for a while now, so far not that impressed by anything, nothing has wowed me like a fair few 360 games have, although I still havent tried Drake.

2 questions.

I downloaded the 1080p trailer for ratatouille, and it has some very noticable colour banding on it, especally on the night sky, can someone else confirm this is just this movie and not on the blu ray before I buy it.

Teken 5, whats it like, worth the 19.99?

I thought it was tosh , set it at easy ,its well easy , set it at medium just about doable , hard forget it.

Al the aids spoil the game as well you can just keep acel button down and just steer.

turn them all off and its near enough impossible to do .

Really wanted to like the game as well :(

LOL corrected, seriously though, can anyone answer this question. Is it just the downloadable demo or is the Blu ray like this.

Been playing Drake a fair bit, pretty good game, like a modern tomb raider, voice acting is really good, graphics are OK as well, so far its the only decent game iv played on the PS3.

  • F1 demo - pretty damn poor, week graphics as well
  • Startdust demo - Not bad
  • Ninja Gaiden - 1st time I have played any of the series, not overally impressed TBH
  • Everybodys golf - quite fun, nice and easy to pick up and play, but it looks like a PS2 game
  • Ratchet and clank - Looks pretty good again, but bit to lightweight for me.

Oh, i downloaded the movie for Tekken, does it really look that bad!


I think I will complete Drake and then sell it, and then just accept that for now I have just spent £300 on a blu ray player, I have to admit to be pretty shocked at just how week the PS3 is as a games machine from what iv seen, im not trying to start a war here, after I have both machines and im just voicing my opinion. IMO the graphics are weeker, the controller is miles behind, PSN maybe free but XBL is well worth the extra cost.

Im sure the good games will come, just hope they arrive sooner rather than later.
