Gameplay intro (I suggest you watch this)

The Gameplay Introduction for Killzone 2, coming Feb. 25th in Europe and Feb. 27th Worldwide,enjoy!

All right, so I haven't been on here for maybe a year or so because my computer has been broken (or rather my laziness to do anything about it), but I need some help. And sorry if this is the wrong forum, too.


Anyway, so a while ago I dropped my PSP. It landed on the section where the WLAN switch is. it didn't break it, but it kind of loosened it and made it harder to turn on. About a month ago, I thought it would be a good idea to take the switch off because I couldn't turn the damn thing on, and figured if I got a toothpick or something in there I could get it to turn on. I ended up using a broken guitar pick, and it worked. Now, last night, the WLAN thing turned itself off again (which I hate that it does, it's just annoying), and I can't get it back on.

Keep in mind, I was on the internet that day, even, but suddenly in the few hours I didn't touch it and it was charging, the WLAN turned off. I was about to open up the PSP itself to try and find the WLAN switch internally and like tape it on if possible (with electrical tape, let's be professional here), but I didn't want to void the warranty.

Does anyone know if this is even covered in thr warranty, though? I've heard it costs like $80 to get a replacement, which is cheaper than getting a new Slim (which was my original plan of action, to get the God of War bundle, or the Star Wars one if I could find it). I don't want to wait long, though, because I literally just this week bought a new headset for it to be able to talk to my SOCOM clan of one year.

Is there a better idea than opening it? Should I try to sell it to someone? Would EB take it w/o the WLAN switch?

This sucks...

okay... ive just brought this new game called superbike 07 (havnt brought out the new one yet!) and i havnt put it down since i got it at 10am this morning! it is now 7:48pm. it is so god damn amazing! the graphics on it are superb and the gameplay is awsome! this is a real must for bike lovers everywhere! trust me! its amazing!

I wonder what kind of game it'll be. But yea pretty good news for us PS3 owners

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21504.html

I'm extremely impressed by how this game is turning out.

Well old news kind of...was announced at E3 at the Sony Press Conference

http://kotaku.com/gaming/e307/ncsoft-signs...sony-277499.php

I hope w/e kind of MMORPG they develop is free

Thats right, confirmed today that Haze & Unreal Tournament will be exclusive to the PS3 this year, and won't be out on 360 until 2008 (Q2 I believe).

Also, Unreal Tournament on the PS3 will support user created mods, the 360 version will NOT support mods.

Enjoy

And they say PS3 has no exclusive games coming out...Also this probably isn't the full list of exclusives, I'm sure I missed a bunch, and I'm too lazy to organize them all in order of release lol. I know a handful of games don't come out until 2008, but theres still that other handful coming out in 2007, so looks like we got a nice 2007 lineup (not saying all the games listed here are good games, but for the most part they are )

iSuppli breakdown pegs cost of manufacturing $499 20GB console at $805, $599 60GB console at $840.
By Tor Thorsen, GameSpot
Posted Nov 16, 2006 7:52 pm ET

When the Xbox 360 went on sale last year, BusinessWeek commissioned tech researcher iSuppli to take apart the console and estimate how much it cost to manufacture. The firm concluded that, including all pack-in accessories (hard drive, controller, cables, and so on), each premium 360 set Microsoft back some $126. Before labor, just the parts it took to make the console cost $470--$71 more than the full-fledged system's $399 price tag.

This week, iSuppli conducted a similar cost-analysis study of the PlayStation 3--with even more shocking results. According to the study, the hardware for the 20-gigabyte PS3 costs $805.85 alone--$306.85 more than the stated list price of $499. The 60GB model hardware costs $840.35, $241.35 more than the $599 sticker price Sony announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo earlier this year. (Note: Sony did not announce price points of $499.99 and $599.99 at E3, although some retailers list the consoles' prices as such.)

Neither of the iSuppli estimates includes the cost of the A/V cables, power cord, or Sixaxis controller that come bundled with both models of the PS3. The initial launch shipment will also come with a Blu-ray disc copy of the Will Ferrell comedy Talledega Nights. "The size of Sony's loss per unit is remarkable, even for the videogame console business," read the iSuppli report.

However, despite the steep price, iSuppli still thinks the PS3 delivers plenty of bang for a buyer's buck. "The reason why the PlayStation 3 is so costly to produce is because it has incredible processing power," said Andrew Rassweiler, teardown services manager and senior analyst for iSuppli. "If someone had shown me the PlayStation 3 motherboard from afar without telling me what it was, I would have assumed it was for a network switch or an enterprise server."

Though it had no breakdown of the Wii, this week's iSuppli study did comment on the cost of another next-gen console. Thanks to streamlined processes and ample component supplies, iSuppli estimates that Microsoft now makes $75.70 per Xbox 360 console.

They are getting owned...

Yo guys i got a great idea (not really) but wanna all add eachother on our PSN accounts? Because i wanna have like tournys on Call of Duty 3 for the site. I will like post all match details and shit.

My PSN(Playstation Network)Account is Tyler_911

Well, all of my friends say their PS3 freezes, playback doesn't work with blu-ray, downloading takes forever, they can't ever sign on...


Yet, I can download fast, always sign on, and my PS3 never freezes.

Do your PS3s have any problems?

EDIT: I do have one problem, and that's the video chat..... I can do regular chat.. but when I plug in my eyetoy, it stops working...

hey guys i am makeing a Socom fireteam bravo clan for psp. If you want to join it please add me as friend. My user name is Eckzthar. The clan name is called DarkSlayers. ( ]dS[ )

Anyone know if and where I can find a PS2 Emulator for the computer that will actually play newer PS2 cds, along with the bios needed for it. If I can't find one in less then like a week then I "should" have my PS2 fixed by then, but I don't feel like waiting that long to get to play Disgaea 2 for at least a little while.

Well, as everybody who's been on the internet (espicially Digg) knows that there are soooooo many juicy stories surrounding the PS3 launch today, such as the Wisconsin Wal-Mart only having 10 consoles and having over 60 people waiting for them. The Wal-Mart then took out 10 chairs and said, "Sit on a chait and get a PS3." Only problem: the only thing standing between the campers were a flagpole and each other's fists.

My personal favorite is just the giant riot that took place at a Best Buy where some cops got the crap beaten outta them by fanboys. The runner-up is the four armed gunmen robbing a Gamestop for at least 4 consoles.

Post your favorite outrageous story here!

you better have been camping...

what a waste of $$$

people staying in line...$$650 wow

Hey guys, thought I would post a few things about the PS3 now that it is about to launch. I can't wait to get mine.... WOOT!

Out of the Box:
Photos of the console have been floating around for a while now, but there's a lot to be said for stacking it up physically against the Xbox 360 and the Wii. Compared to the 360, the PS3 is slightly larger, although against our black shelves, the glossy black machine almost disappears, if not for the silver bezel that houses the disc drive


Two much more practical things differentiate the PS3 from the 360, however. For one, there's no large power brick, only a single power cord that's slightly thicker than a PC power cord, and much thinner than the 360's. That made finding space for the unit easier than expected.

And the PS3 is far more quiet than the 360. No jet engine roar from this thing. Without a disc in the drive it's barely perceptible, and with a disc it's not only more quiet than the 360, but quieter even than the PS2. That means watching movies using the Blu-Ray player might be an acceptable experience, since the console won't be making noise to compete with the soundtrack. We'll report more soon, if we notice the sound ramping up during extended play sessions.


the first thing we did was plug the included USB cable into the Sixaxis controller and console. The cable is short -- a couple of feet shorter than a Dual Shock cable -- but it's a standard USB cable, so procuring a longer one (for playing from the couch while charging the controller) won't require significant expense. The controller charged fully in about 90 minutes, though we'll run that down and charge it again to be sure, since there was likely some factory charge when it came out of the box.

While the main power button is on the rear left corner of the console, just like the PS2 (if it's laying horizontally) the reset and eject buttons are touch sensitive, located on the front right in the silver bezel. The console responds quickly to both switches -- we hit the reset button and were good to go.

The Xross Media Bar
On the initial setup, the first thing that comes up is a prompt to connect the controller via USB, and press the center PS button. Later on, while in game, holding down the PS button acts a lot like pressing the 'Home' key on a PSP -- it gives the option to quit your current game and go back to the Xross Media Bar (yeah, we don't like the spelling either), to turn off the controller, or turn off the console entirely. There's also an indicator showing the controller's charge level, and which port it's connected to.

In fact, much of the early setup is just like your first minutes with a PSP. Setting the language, time, and date are all identical, as is the initial prompt to create and enter a username. After each data is entered, you'll tap right on the analog stick or d-pad to proceed to the next time.

After creating your identity and accepting all the basic data, you'll be given the symphonic PlayStation 3 main logo screen, and then to the XMB. The first trip to the XMB will automatically plop you on the "Sign Up For The PlayStation Network" item. But that's pretty hard to do if you haven't already set up a network. A firmware update might want to put new users in the Network Setup area, instead.

Fortunately the network setup is a breeze, and after grabbing the latest System Update (regrettable, but easy enough to do) we also set up our video and audio outputs. The PS3 has an optical line out for digital audio, which we selected, and we set our cable connection (component video) and maximum resolution -- 1080i, sadly.

Later, when we picked up an HDMI to DVI converter, we sent the video signal out over HDMI, which looked much better. Be careful if you're planning to cart your PS3 to a friend's house, though -- the OS doesn't detect when you step down from HDMI, and you won't be able to bring up a picture to reset it to another output. A firmware update definitely needs to implement a cable and resolution auto-detect feature.


Going Backwards
Of course, after the botched attempt at backwards compatibility by Microsoft, one of the first things we did was throw in a few PS2 games (and even Castlevania: Symphony of the Night from the PSONE) to make sure everything worked smoothly. To use either a PS2 or PSONE game, we had to create an 'internal memory card' using the memory card utility under the Games option, then assign it either to slot 1 or 2.
Having done that, most of the games we tried loaded quickly, looking and playing much as you'd expect. There is a problem with screen aspect ratio, though -- the PSOne games and many older PS2 games are fullscreen support only, and the PS3 stretches the picture on widescreen displays, instead of offering an option to place black sidebars.

The Movie Experience
One of Sony's big talking points on the PS3 has obviously been the Blu-Ray DVD player, and we checked out a few films to see how things looked. First off, we were concerned that full Blu-Ray functionality wouldn't be available without the HDMI cable connected -- that's why we've used component cables so far. But the copy of Mission: impossible III we picked up looked fantastic, and noticeably more crisp and detailed than the regular DVD. Sony included copies of Kung-Fu Hustle and Talladega Nights with the machine, and those played fine and looked excellent as well.


Media Manager
The first thing we tried was popping in some music CDs. They rip quickly, and with full track data downloaded from the GraceNote CD Database.

We found that, unlike the PSP, we could leave a song playing and browse the XMB by hitting the center PS button. And we were pleased to see that when plugging in several media devices at once via USB -- an iPod, Cowon iAudio X5, and the PSP -- all came up immediately, and the iPod and PSP were recognized as such. Not all media folders on the iPod and Cowon were properly browsable at first glance, but by highlighting the devide under the Music, Photo, or Video tab, then hitting triangle to access the 'Display All' prompt, we could browse and play all the media on each device. Files copied quickly from devices to the PS3 drive, as well.
To check card compatibility, we popped in another memory stick with photos and music, as well as the SD card from our digital camera, and those were handled fine, too. Even the JPGs sized for wallpaper display on the PSP looked decent blown up to our 42-inch display. Video clips stored on the PSP played fine, as well.

The Remote Browse feature that wirelessly links the PSP and PS3 won't be available for a while yet, since it requires the PSP firmware version 3.0, which has yet to be released. But otherwise the PS3 seems quite adept at recognizing media, devices and card formats.

The PS3 will launch with its own online service, similar to Xbox Live but with one crucial difference: it'll be free. The PlayStation Network Platform has similar matchmaking, voice chat, and ranking to Xbox Live, but there are no subs fees (although premium games, like massively-multiplayer titles, might end up charging players). Unlike the 360, it includes a fully featured Web browser, in case you fancy browsing the Internet on your TV.
