Just got one...


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Zen Browser 1.21b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 151.0.4 Added 'Space Routing', a new feature that allows you to route links to a specific Space. To get started, click on the three dots in your Space name and click on 'Space Routing Settings'. Fixes Fixed extension-opened tabs not being created with the correct container (#14100) Fixed a bug with the Boosts editor having the wrong theme colors (#14099) Improved overflowing space icons being inaccessible and improved the feeling when hovering over them (#13747) Other minor bug fixes and improvements Download: Zen Browser | 89.8 MB (Open Source) Download: Zen Browser ARM64 | Other Operating Systems View: Zen Browser Home Page | Screenshots 1 | 2 | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I am currently using a 4tb stick in combination with a 4tb 9100 Pro. It's only been six months since I bought them but the 990 has already dropped 1% health. Fingers crossed it doesn't go any lower.
    • But it opens the floodgates to anyone who gets a refund instead of a replacement (since refund will buy you a 1/3rd of the capacity it did years ago)
    • He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
