Anyone interested in getting a thread going?, this will cover all 4 PS systems, i own all 4 so if you need help i know most stuff.

Ill get the ball rolling, tried our mini ninjas and wet demo over the weekend.
Wet, uber uber lame, has like a 1920s film look to it, and you cant kill someone point blank range.
Mini Ninjas on the other hand, everyone should try it, its kiddy game but fun as hell, and very nicely done, and very pretty.

In the next few hours PSN update will happen in the EU (USA with in 24), they are releasing TFU tatooine mission, which im getting even though I'm getting the remake.

So anyone got anything to add?.

Sure! I love the PlayStation and I (still) have (and use) them all! On the subject of demos, I downloaded the Arkham Asylum demo last week, finished it, and boy is it good! :wub: Finally there could be a good Batman game!

Not odd at all. You just must take care of your things. :sweet: I have loads of old computer stuff though; a C64, Apple II, BBC B, Amiga... :tongue:

I'll check later, but I recall it's big; around 1.5 GB.

Yeah i do, and yeah i did have a C64 but it died.

Ok, i should just google it.

Also i will ad for anyone who missed the gamescon thread, PS3slim officially goes on sale 3.9.09 in the USA, although some places are already selling it, and the rest of the world by the end of next week.

Also FW3.0 is out 1.9.09, not a really good update again, animated avatars though, and no cross game chat, which is not coming supposedly thanks to Harry Plopper, yeah the last game that was out it seems EA made a big stink over it and that's why Sony isn't doing it, and why custom music never took off.

Speaking of which, stay right away from EA forums, don't know whats happened, but I'm being told by several people i know people are spamming with, ah um, well lets just say its gone down the toilet, literally.

Back to nice stuff, seriously cant stress enough that people get the demo of mini ninjas, i want this more than R&C ACIT, and i am a massive ratchet and clank fan.

Interesting, I've been having doubts about it, but maybe I'll cave after all :classic:

Oh and we can discuss hardware here as well right, because I have this issue with my PS3...
I can't seem to play DVD's on it. I read somewhere that it sometimes depends on the update, but I haven't been able to watch my DVD's for like 10 updates now, so...
Did anyone else have this problem, and did they solve it ? If so, how ?

Thanks in advance :blush:

Oh and I have PS 1-3 and my sister owns the PSP :tongue:

Greetings,

Yes we can, hmm thats odd, not heard of that problem, have you tried restore system defaults, and tried different settings, have you tried to copy the dvd to the ps3, is it the right region, eg EU PS3, USA dvd disk, do you get any warnings, are you trying to play dvd with hdmi option enabled but you dont have hdmi cable?.

yay im a count.

Wow, so many thinga to check :oh:

Well... I buy all my DVD's in Holland, so the region should be right.
I could check the HDMI stuff and the other settings, but I'm kind of a technical n00b (took me almost a year to connect to PSN on that thing... :blush: )
And no, I don't get any warning... when I put the DVD in, the screen flicks to black and stays that way :wacko:

Thanks anyway :sweet:

And congrats on becoming a Count :wink:

Greetings,

Ok, so fine write down here all your settings that are dvd releated.

And thanks.

Also people, TATOOINE is up on EU PSN and the 2.00patch, should be up on USA as well.

Also 720p vignettes for Suzume, Tora, Shun, and Futo from Mini Ninjas (EU PSN, maybe USA), each about 60mbs.

Anyone who likes ratchet and clank (and if you don't whats wrong with you), there is going to be space exploration in ACIT.

Thanks for the link DarthSion. The new R and C game looks awesome. I really enjoyed playing Tools of Destruction while quote, helping the kids, along with Quest for Booty (haven't finished either yet, we're in the middle of too many games). :blush: I concur with the walrus, the new Batman game looks amazing. I tried out the Dissidia demo yesterday, on the PSP, and it really had me twitching for more.

Yeah it looks massive bigger than any other game, that's the beauty of having a 50gig disk.

Did you ever play the PS2 games, they were great fun, i own all the games on disk even QFB.

Yeah i should try batman demo, but had too much other stuff to download, and i really cant wait for mini ninjas.

Isn't it funny how the more kiddy games tend to be the funnest, like the lego games, and mini ninjas.

I am thinking of getting a PS3 for Blu-Ray and new Final Fantasy games, however I am not sure about the backwards compatibility (I am a bit stuck in the late 91s/early 00s for tv console gaming) what are the different types of PS3 like?

At the moment I'm thinking of getting a player and a PSone...

Also: There are but two games on PSP I want, FFVII Crisis Core and Dissidia (I see a pattern emerging here...) are there any other games that might be worth getting and therefore worth getting another console on top of my DS (I like Another Code, Pokemon and Guilty Gear on DS).

Any Ideas?

The Ps3 I have can play Ps1 games (but for some reason not Ps2 ones... :angry: ) I don't know if the different versions have model numbers or anything, but mine was gotten last Christmas, and is a 160GB, so it was not the earliest version. Maybe you could look into the slimline version coming soon, though i'm unaware of what features are to be expected.
I'd say you could get any model Ps3, and a cheap Ps1. I got one for around 30 Euro with many games about a year ago.
Don't know much about PSP's. But they can be very fun at times.

I too am going to get a PS3 for the upcoming Final Fantasies! However, I'm waiting 'till September to get the PS3 Slim. You should look into it :classic:

I can't speak for the PSP though, I've never really wanted one (Though I admit Dissidia looks good, I personally can't by a console or handheld just for one game. Some of my friends do just that, but I think it's ridiculous :sadnew: )
