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.

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.
