!EVERYTHING! PS3

[TheApprentice]

^yea thats a really awesome feature too.
Well so far Sony is saying that is an "evolving" service. No doubt they'll expand it with more and more features overtime.
For now imo its worth it.

For those that took PSN Plus, I was wondering when they say "Users will be able to download the games (PSN games, minis, and “PS One Classics”) during the month-long windows of availability, and hang onto them as long as their PlayStation Plus subscription is paid-up."

Does this mean that each month I'll be able to download the "free" games they offer and still keep what I downloaded from previous free months? Or does the new stuff u download replace "free" games u got previously? I was looking into it more and it would be a cheap way to get new/retro games each month. Would work out to under $5 a month...hmm

[Eroo]

I think it means you can download all the free games every month, however if your subsciption expires all the games expire as well.

[woodyear99]

Hmm didn't see this posted before, not too bad for the first month....that is $5 in value right there hehe.

If you have been wondering if PlayStation Plus is worth the extra $50 per year, you’ll be happy to know that in the first month of the service is offering a value of well over $50 itself. Not to mention some really cool features and deals.

PlayStation Plus may cost $49.99 for a year, but it will definitely be worth its price tag if Sony can keep offering up excellent content like this first month’s smorgasbord of goodies. This month’s offering alone racks up over $88 in value when you add up all of the free or discounted content.

Of course that’s not all, there’s also a new Automatic Downloading feature added to the XMB which allows you to update your firmware, or install game patches even if you aren’t in front of your PS3.

Being a PlayStation Plus subscriber also gets you a nice little “Plus” golden d-pad icon next to your PSN profile and on your friends list.

We’re still going over all the new features now and will update the article if we find any additional features…

still I have to say it "MEH". Just dose not appeal to me, probably when they have some region free video service i would bite.

[woodyear99]

Might sign up for it sometime if there are 'free' games I want.

[ViCe]

There are new versions of the PlayStation 3 coming, with new hard drive sizes and new colours. And as is custom, they're hitting Japan first.

PS3 Slim Goes White, HDD Increases To 320GB

First things first: in Japan, the PS3 will cease to be made available in 120GB and 250GB sizes, and instead come in 160GB and 320GB versions. These new models will be released in Japan on July 29, and for the first time will see the PS3 Slim available in two colours: the existing black and "Classic White".

PS3 Slim Goes White, HDD Increases To 320GB

The 160GB model will cost ¥29,980 (USD$340), while the 320GB version will retail for ¥34,980 (USD$400).

As of now, details on this expansion to the PS3 range have been confined to the Japanese market; we'll update should we hear anything of Sony's plans for the PAL regions or North America.

[ViCe]

sooooo.....anyone here pickin up Blacklight tango down whenever it gets released on PSN?

its already out on 360
saw some streams on jtv looks pretty good for a $15 game

[woodyear99]

I was watching the videos of it this week actually since I was looking for some more coop stuff to play with friends. Do you know if it can be shared over PSN tho?

[ViCe]

all psn games can be shared except for warhawk
not sure bout how d coop is
saw d mp part and it looked good
lots of customizations
definitely pickin it up
and takin PS+ nex week as well

[woodyear99]

Lol u serious, all can be shared? I thought only certain games were shareable. I was looking for some psn games that had online coop. Yeah I'll buy it and share it with some friends, the coop supposed to be decent.

[ViCe]

yea i share all mines
gonna get plus and share wipeout an everything i get free lol

[Berzerk]

me wants!

 Just kidding. I might be getting plus oui, at least for a 3 months, want to see if its worth it.


Anyone bought or intend to buy red dead redemption? Im this close to getting it and I want to know if anyone tried the co op and if its worth it.

[TheApprentice]

I want Red Dead Redemption so badd.
Time just does not allow for it right now.
Its a good buy though, lots of my friends cant put that game down.

[ViCe]

i have 3-5 ppl out of 100 that play RDR on my Blu_ViCe account and they only played for the sp
3 of them were trinis all the other trinis on that account never even touched RDR

berzerk if u gettin it make sure u know who have it on ur list to play with if is coop u want it for

[Berzerk]

I'll most definitely be getting this on ps3. unless a pc version is announced soon.


on another note, Im getting mind numbing lag issues in super street fighter 4, came this close to pelting the dam game. Anyone have similar issues? remedies? I bought this to strafe online mostly, so right now it en making sense.

[Doomtack]

ok... i was having a hard time deciding between getting RDR for 360 or PS3...
It seems that i'm feeling like paying for live for just one game...
so i gonna get it for PS3 if ya'll gonna be playin online.
Berzerk, just say the word, an we playin

[Seiryuki]

Well I've just finished the story in RDR and I must say that this is one of the best games I've ever played period. For me, I put it on top alongside games like MGS1, FFVIII, and the such.

This game is highly emotional and I just love it. I find it difficult to get used to the ending but just watching back some youtube trailers just tugs the heartstrings that such a wonderful game with such an excellent story exists and I was lucky to play it. Up next is The Last Guardian.

@Berzerk
I haven't tried co-op yet as I've been to busy with LBP. Now that I'm back on RDR, I'll give it a try with one of my friends. Personally, the online-multiplayer genre don't interest me but I'm not hesitant to give my all in online competition.

[Berzerk]

thats 2 nods to the affirmative, so ill be getting it for sure.

as for online play, im using wired, and Ive got a massive improvement. hope it stays that way.
