The Official PS3 thread

I read the first post, but doubt it gets updated, so here is the mandatory “I just got a PS3 what games should I get” post. I scooped GoW 1&2, and once I beat those I’l lscoop 3, I got Little Big Planet GoTY, and I got the 250 gig model with Uncharted 2 packaged in.

I’m curious what games I should look into, especially easy co-op games (fiance cough cough). I plan on scooping Infamous, and I’m on th fence about Heavy Rain…I hear its a good game, but never hear about it being fun per say. As well are there any PSN exclusive titles worth looking into (I got a 360 w/ Live - scooped this as a Blu-Ray player really). As well, whats the consensus on places for getting Blu-Ray movies?

Double post

Fat Princess, a PSN exclusive capture the flag game, with character classes, cartoon looking styled graphics, just got co-op. Amazon has Blu-Ray sales often and a lot of older movies on the format usually drop to around $10; I also use Deep Discount when they have sales.

Did they just model that place after my city? What the hell, New Orleans architecture for the win!

Can’t decide if I want to trade my 60 gb phat in for the gamestop deal going on. I have a ps2 and never even use the bacward compat feature.

I bought Demon Souls and only played it once. It seems like a good game but it just didn;t really grab me.

heavy rain is a rental. Like watching a tv series or a long movie. Not bad, but the $60 tag is tough to swallow.

LBP should cover you for multiplayer.

IMO, find a (cheap) copy of Uncharted 1 before you start up 2. 2 becomes better by contrast. 1 isn’t a bad game, but jesus christ 2 is so fucking amazing.

noob question…

bought a Belkin hdmi cable for 27 bux at fry’s. now i’m lookin on amazon and obviously i was dumb and ignorant. how much did u guys pay for your hdmi cable? from where?

Never EVER pay that price for HDMI cables. MONOPRICE.COM is the place.

thanks man. pretty much any of those would work? the one i bought was “made for ps3”. guess that’s to target dumbasses like me. shit, hope i can get a refund after i opened it

fry’s fucker recommended monster cables. i remember Sep hatin on it so i avoided it

They’re all made for PS3, and any other HDMI-things too

w00t I knew there was a site but forgot what it was, was going to ask this morning but you saved me the work hehe. Thanks.

Actually I stil lhave a question. I’ve never used HDMI cables before…so I’m not sure, what do I want…male to male? And is there any features that ‘are’ important with picking out a cable?

  • :bluu:

Yep, Monoprice is absolutely fantastic. Firefold.com is pretty good, too.
There was just recently a sale that I saw: 3 six-foot HDMI cables for like 6 bucks. Pack of 3 Six Feet HDMI Cables - $5.49 with coupon

Not sure if you need that many, but I mean, it’s 6 bucks. Why not?

haha, well I actually went ahead and ordered off gut instinct right after I posted. I went for 3 x 8ft’ high speed HDMI, so I can do my 360, my Ps3, and some future device…for what shipping and handling was, it felt a waste to order one or two shrug

Thanks so much for the info. Playing Little Big Planet in SD is a let down when you can see how good it SHOULD look. Where’s the best place to get a second controller?

  • :bluu:

unrealistic got the same ps3 i got. get demon souls, fuck fat princess imo, yakuza 3 is a buy imo.

dope hdmi link btw. hdmi also plays full hd 1080p iirc. friend of mine got a new hdmi cable and i noticed there was some lag with 2p ssf4?

now my q, what is the best cable? its gotta be highspeed, right. what else is important?length is personal preference obiously. i dont need it right away, the 50 inch i got only supperts 720p or 1080i. i already have composite cables and they support 720p, thus what my tv can handle atm. also there is no lag at all on my shit.

the cable will never cause the lag, that’s more than likely post processing on your tv. There is a whole thread in tech talk related to HD tv shit, in short there is only 1 kind of HDMI cable, length is preference as you don’t start getting signal degradation up till about 50 feet on most hardware(which i doubt you will ever need one that long lol…). Don’t you mean Component cables? Combosite cables are sd only and will make your shit lag like a mother fucker due to upscaling that your tv does…

Anyways, my personal experience that hdmi picture is generally “cleaner” than it’s analog variant although that could just be my eyes justifying my 5 dollar hdmi cable haha.

Yakuza 3 is so random at times.

“I NEED TO GET TO DAIGO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! But first I guess I can take this little girl bowling and karoke.”

quick question to those that picked up RE:5 gold edition: to unlock desperate escape and lost in nightmares what do i have to do?? i thought beating the game once would unlock it but to no avail. :frowning:

same question. i was about to buy the LBP w/ controller bundle for 60. but maybe ya’ll know of somethin better.

i shoulda got the uncharted bundle. instead i’m stuck w/ crap like nba ballers: chosen one, bond and fracture.
