Hey guys I just bought myself a PS3 finally... I have never owned a Playstation and need some recommendations on some games and such. I have a pretty decent Blu-Ray collection which is the main reason I bought the PS3. :D I tried the Killzone 2 demo and its pretty sweet. So far the only thing I dont like is that you have to install everything which is kinda dumb but I guess thats because of the bd drive being so slow on reading bd discs. Let me know guys! :)

Also what are some cool tricks and such if any? I have a directv hd dvr and the ps3 sees it but it wont stream anything from it will it?

You can't install any games on your Xbox HDD to make it load faster? I thought both consoles did this :p

Looking at your gamercard in your sig there's really not much I could recommend that you haven't played. A couple games for sure tho is Uncharted and Metal Gear... maybe Resistance too.

Congrats on the new purchase :)

As for games, I don't have very many myself, but I definitely recommend WipEout HD. It's a digital download only, but it's provided me with hours of entertainment, which is quite impressive considering its low cost. And I haven't even bought the expansion pack yet.

Yea it does on the 360 :p all my games that I play are installed. I played the uncharted 1 demo and did not care to much for it.... I will be renting a few game this weekend though. :)

lol I know what you mean, I don't care much for Uncharted either but apparently it's sooooo popular that I have to recommend it just for that. :p

Metal Gear is a must tho imo, damn that game is good. Plus it's super cheap on the net or Gamestop etc.

Wipeout HD is available to buy on disc now too, or certainly is in the UK

http://www.game.co.uk/Games/PlayStation-3/...ut-HD/~r344131/

Certainly as others have mentioned, LBP, MGS, Uncharted (although sounds like you didn't like) InFamous, Killzone 2, Flower, Demon Souls.

Dude, I hated the look of uncharted 1 so went straight for Uncharted 2. Best game i've ever played. and I usually hate that genre of games.

@AB, where did you buy Assassins 2? Also the ''spine'' of the box is totally different to the usual PS3 case xD

Preorderd it @ The Hut months ago when they were doing it for ?28.

That's the new box branding to go along with the Slim (they wanted to remove Spiderman font), the front has changed as well

Was surprised MW2 didn't have the new style.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
