****The Playstation 3 Slim Thread****

I'm starting to prefer the Slim over my other PS3 :eek:

The PS3 slim was mainly bought to be a blu-ray player. It looks better in person :p

Yea it looks much better in real life imo it looks a lot nicer than the phats. Thought I'd regret trading my 60Gb but I really haven't.

Why when we see good stats do people always jump to say they're lies or manipulated.

Also, Even if they are trade ins, Thats wont hurt Sony sale stats.

Sony Sold the phats to a store, Store sold the phats.
Sony sold the slims to a store, Stores trade, phats for Slims. Store sells Slims.

Doesnt hurt Sony anyway. They made on both consoles moved.

I'm not saying it would hurt Sony sale stats, it would just be interesting to see what the breakdown of those consoles sold are to brand new owners.

Sony would not be able to measure this (no more than Nintendo can measure the DS>DSLite or DSLite>DSI). All these trade-ins, swaps are done as second hand sales which are not measured.

I am sure most people are buying their first PS3. Sure some people can justify the upgrade, but the large majority of people are probably using the price drop as their entry into the PS3 market. Might be different in Japan, as they love newer, smaller, consoles/handhelds.

I know i'm nowhere near an accurate representation of the market but i went to buy Arkam Asylum on the 1st and my local store was packed with kids with their parents buying them a slim PS3. I counted at least 6 get handed over the counter before i got to the front of the queue.

There may be quite a few upgrading, but there's no denying this has been a great move on Sonys part.

Anyone know if there is an issue with Killzone 2 and FW3.0 - when I played the SP last night every time it came to a loading part (like the first level [same as demo level] where you leave the lift after get a leg up from someone) it froze for a second with some sound distortion before continuing - Im sure when Ive played it before it wasnt that bad...

Anyone mind trying it on a slim/phat PS£ to confirm?

Cheers

Had to start it again due to game data corruption , mines a phat and got the sound plugged in through fibreoptic cable i had no sound problems but the level loading seamed to take longer may be just me though .
Dont have a slim to try it on , but how have you got your slim wired up to for sound ?
Also a bit of topic but cannot believe i have to play through singleplayer to open elite , gutted to say the least :(
Finally got into the top 1% woop woop
 
I played KZ2 for the first time in a couple of months last night and cleaned up, killing is fun.
Although my new setup means that I either have my mic turned right down, or the sound from my telly/stereo. I could hardly hear a word you were saying last night Stella.

Cheers Stella - should have asked you last night...

Im getting the freeze mid-game when it loads up the next section and using optical for my sound too - its more the case the sound stutters as its halfway through and then has to pause due to the loading and then when it resumes its a bit wierd momentarily...

Its like pausing digiTV and getting pixellation when you restart it - same kinda thing seems to happen to the audio...

Im more concerned about the mid-level load pause than anything as I swear its much more pronunced than I remember - though I havent played too much of the SP...

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
Might be worth having a play around with what bit rate the sound is i know the option was there before firmware 3.0 but will double check now but if its that, its strange cause it would cause problems and crackling through all sound in game .

Mcwild do you have the headset configured for both sound mic and game
sound ?

It helps no end because you dont get the looping i was getting of your headset .
Seems the game has exploded in the past week due to ps3 slim :D

Icmale i think this is the best time i have had on a fps since counter strike source due to there being hardly any aim assist, it sorts the men out from the boys :D
Ive joined 8/10 better than halo clan now peeps due to me getting my butt handed to me on my own .
Hope you all start getting back into it due to the darker nights and hopefully some of you might join me so we can squad up .
Buy the way the controls online are much better now due to precision mode and the bots are much more powerful and have brains more like terminator than the toasters they used to be :D

Would that mean no sound coming from my telly/stereo?
I've not actually tried 'precision mode' yet, how is it different?
Click to expand...

In game sound would still come through your tv but my voice would go through to your headset instead of through tv not sure if thats how you have it but if not adjust mic sensitivity .

Precision mode makes the analog sticks more responsive to small movements and i find this help with headshots ;) at critical times as well like c&h .
 
Ah, I was wondering if it extended the use of sixaxis from scoped sniper to all guns, I really like that function, in fact I think it might even be slighty more accurate than using mouse.
I get on pretty well without precision mode tbh, but I'll give it a go, if it improves my game then I pity the poor noobs.... ;)

Btw, I'm only 1 medal away from getting my air support badge, I can finally combine turbo with the tactician and get a spawn point dropped deep into the map early in the game.
 
Heard an online rumour that due to Samsung adding MKV support to it's new and existing BluRay players that Sony could well add MKV support to the Playstation 3 to compete in the BluRay / entertainment market... just a rumor though, but it would be nice for them to add it to the PS3.

A lot of mkv files are too big for FAT32 though, plus I'm sure Sony are aware of the piracy implications, which is a major issue for them seeing as they make a lot of money from the film industry.
I doubt they'll ever bother supporting mkv.
