Best of both worlds..


Recommended Posts

We'll I recently got myself a PS3 :) An original 80gig which should have backwards compatibility unless I am mistaken? I almost fear to use the tired old "I have joined the dark side" line lest the laws of the universe throw a fridge at me for using such a cliche line :laugh:

I have been meaning to get one for a long while and with the release of God of War 3 just around the corner I decided to go for my brother in laws offer and buy his. Now I usually don't ask this and I tend to discover my own games as I believe that's half the experience but I have been out of the picture on the Sony side of things that I have literally missed all of the juicy info. So if anybody wants to point me to any hidden gems that I may have never had on my radar that would be nice :)

A question to Audiboxer is it possible to stream MKV files from my PC to my PS3 in the other room? I ask you this because I remember you had a link in your signature a while ago...

Anyway proud to have the best of both worlds :) Next up upgrading my PC build :D

lol yea, bad timing but should be ok soon hopefully :)

AB's thread is here. You can stream MKV with subs and all if you need em. Love it.

Valkyria Chonicles = most underrated game on PS3. It's only $20, get it :p

Poor timing? Someone fill me in here? Why is this poor timing?

x9248, thanks for the link :)

Probably referring to PSN going ######-up over the last 24hrs. Should be sorted soon enough.

PS3 is ###### up, not PSN. You don't even have to connect to PSN for you to have your PS3 throw out the error.

Green, why? WHY?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! :cry:

Dude I know, but my brother in law had the right offer and I had to do it! I still love you man! :cry:

Just noticed this thread now and saw this and legit LOL'd :laugh:

haha yeah but I don't mind. As long as I get a chance to play God of War 3 when that comes out I will be content. Not much use for my PS3 at this moment (Y)

Still awaiting suggestions on games I may have missed guys :)

It would be good to tell us what type of games you enjoy, everyone has different tastes so a little hint in your genre would help ;)

Unsure if you have a 360 in addition to your PC, but Uncharted (1 & 2), Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, Killzone 2, Demon's Souls, inFamous, Heavy Rain, & Wipeout HD are all really good exclusives. Also, people like Dante's Inferno, and the PS3 version is essentially a special edition for the same price as the 360 version (art book, soundtrack, free DLC, etc.)

I have an extremely diverse preference in games so I am willing to try any type of game provided it is worth my time (Y)

I do have a 360 :)

Out of what you listed I have completed InFamous, Killzone 2 and I did try MGS4 but it just did not hold my attention long enough so I never finished it. I will defo give the Uncharted games a go and as for Dantes Inferno I would rather just play God of War 3 :p

Demon's Souls is also on my to get list (Y)

Good man. Was worth the rental for me, tho.

On the PSN, Flower and the Pixeljunk games are excellent, and the Echo games are great puzzlers.

I remember a lot of people telling my about the pixeljunk games but I know almost nothing about them. Will look them up (Y)

Flower I do know about. Looked like a perfect game for the folks :)

Just got PJ Monsters a couple days ago... SUPER fun when playing co-op! As a PSN game supporter (I have more PSN games than physical games) I can't believe I didn't get this sooner :p

Here I was thinking this was going to be about a new PS3 exclusive Hannah Montana game....I was rather dissapointed.

Anyways, I haven't played the Uncharted series yet but I hear good things about it. Basically everything everyone else said and you should check out Mushroom Wars as well on the PSN. It's pretty similar to Pixeljunk Monsters but different enough to warrant a purchase.

Cool will check both of those out! Thanks guys!

Another question for you PS3 vets. Is there an official wireless headset for PS3 or can you use just any old headset since it uses bluetooth?

There is an official bluetooth headset that I got with the Socom Confrontation bundle. It's works good enough for me but it'll cost you about $50 brand new, and $70 if you get it with Socom Confrontation :unsure: The bundle was about 40 bucks when I bought it at launch.

I'm going by Amazon prices by the way, don't know how much it would be at your preferable stores in the U.K.
