Here is an interesting thought, should i change my location to the UK?

I have done mine so that I can buy stuff from the PS store. Went a bit mad and added £20 to my wallet then bought Tekken, BlastFactor, Gripshift & Lemmings - dunno why though as I probably wont play half of em!

I feel really miserable. I just don't find the Sixaxis comfortable at all and it's spoiling my experience. Will see how I get on over the weekend but I can see it all going on eBay Monday morning. *moan* *moan*

must admit that I felt the same about the 360 controller, but I gave it some time and now I like it.

Ok, I'm a little confused, how do I get videos onto my PS3?

Can I do it from external HDD?

I have tried several USB HDD's but couldn't get any to work with the PS3. I use a USB flash drive, but if you have a 60GB model then you should be able to use any manor of supported memory card.

Quick question for UK PS3 owners. I have noticed that even UK games are now adopting the old NTSC regions 'O' as enter/confirm rather than 'X' which used to be usual in PAL areas. Do you still use 'X' or have they switched it to 'O' in the menus on UK PS3's???

How good value is Tekken for £6.99 - Ive not played a tekken since tekken 3, its brilliant fun.

Ive still not played my original games yet, so far ive just mucked around on the internet, watched some u-tube videos and playing a few demo's.

GT4 at 1080p on a 55" TV is one of gamings great pleasures

We use 'O' for back, and 'X' for enter. Triangle used to be back.

Did anyone else get THP8? The shop I went to was selling out fast, I think there was 2 left after I got mine.

I think it's brilliant and I don't even have a HD tv.

I think I'm going to give in to temptation and set up my PS3 downstairs... something is stopping me from getting a refund

do I dare open the box?? The thought of getting Casino Royale for free is very nice..

That's the thing, I do have a 360 and won't have my own HDTV to play it on for 2/3 months. I suppose I will only end up buying another PS3 after I get the HDTV anyway, so what the hell.

set my ps3 up near my wireless router and it connected fine, so I registered and started a few downloads. At the end of registration it said Blu-Ray offer is limited to one per master profile on a PS3. Nothing about if or when I'll be getting one. Here's hoping.

Looking forward to trying GT:HD

Steedie · 23 Mar 2007 at 22:12

grrrrrr folding@home just wont connect to their servers. it shows me the globe and who's folding, mine and the teams stats, just won't download any wu's. no one else is getting this

pinkacidbootson · 23 Mar 2007 at 22:14

I did it, I opened the box. Glad I decided to keep it now

Hey Steedie I might be going Swansea Uni in September, are you living in the campus halls or in the 'village'? If so, what's the wireless internet like for your PS3?
