!EVERYTHING! PS3

you wasting time buying World at War, a new Call of duty is being released this year so you won't get as much reply value from the current one.

A new Call of Duty is indeed coming out this year...but that's september at earliest...
Most likely Novemberish with the trend of Call of Duty release dates..

March - November is alot of time...
And man COD:WaW is as great as Modern Warfare...seriously....
It was shunned by reviews because of the WW2 setting...but this game breathed new life into the era.

70% of the people on my friends list have this game and are always playing...
I mean its to fill for the next big thing anywayz..

I won't recommend getting COD4 at this point though due to COD:WaW.
The call of duty series uses p2p hosting.
So most people with the best connections have migrated to COD:Waw thus 80% of the time on COD4 you're in a laggy server. (sucks big time.)

Hmm well I went with the Socom to get the Mic (45 USD Mic alone vs. 57 USD for Game + Mic), and the game I know a few ppl that play it so was going to check it out. Tired of COD:MW, beat it on 360 played it to death online as well. Beat the WaW campaign but didn't get into it that much....

MGS, I think I will try to get a used copy.

Hey once the PS3 I get does not fail I am happy. You will understand from my xbox repair post lol

I was looking around online for info on the dual shock 3 battery, built in rechargeable ones? Been using rechargeable AA's in the 360 controllers.

i hear the new SOCOM is garbage, but i do not know for myself.
Resistance 2 is a great game btw, check it out.

not gonna recommend Metal Gear Solid 4 because you have got to be a frigging lunatic if you own a PS3 and have not played that game

wat he said is true this is exactly the reason i didnt pick up CoD WaW was bcuz i know i wont b playin it once kz2 comes out plus i got Resistance 2 which is boss (closest game to halo on ps3) and modern warfare 2 comes out later i sure u cud wait for MW2 especially since KZ2 will b D game
As for SOCOM the game is good recnt patches solved most of d lag problems but i do agree wit apprentice dat d invite system is piss poor but home will change dat once dey implement d game launching besids yuh gettin d best mic yuh cud get 4 d ps3.

Home Support: Warhawk, Resistance 2, SOCOM, RE5 (str8 out d box), SF4 (gonna get patched but u can unlock clothes for it already), KZ2 (most likely since is sony biggest game) those are the ones i know

[TheApprentice]

Yea Dualshock 3 is rechargeable...just plug into usb port be it ps3, or pc.
And I think most people bought socom for the headset haha.
View it as buying a headset and getting a free game.
Not buying a game for the headset

Yea well since COD out of the question...then Killzone 2 all the way.

I was looking around online for info on the dual shock 3 battery, built in rechargeable ones? Been using rechargeable AA's in the 360 controllers.

Yup the PS3 uses a recharge internal battery. I must admit I was shocked when I first saw the Xbox uses AA batteries in the controller.

My recommendation is for Killzone 2 and SF4. I bought Socom for the headest. I tried it a few times and I must say I hate it HATE IT! If this was a few months ago I'd recommend Resistance 2 which is still super stinking good but I see most ppl going to Killzone 2 when that releases.


I will still play Resistance 2 everyday, going for my last trophy - Killig machine.

What is a good racing game for PS3 with split screen support? Thinking about getting Pacific Rift, anyone plays that?

Know of any good downloadable games for 2 players? Something for the girlfriend to play lol.

[TheApprentice]

Downloadable games??? Man the playstation netwok offers so much variety of top quality games you and your gf need never buy a boxes game haha.
There's anything of the pixeljunk series, flow, flower (not 2 player but welcomes pass and play), tekken dark resurrection, street fighter oldies, bowling, pain, etc...etc..etc...
Just take a browse in the downloadable games section if the psstore.
And make sure you have alot of funds in your wallet XD

As for racing games with splitscreen, motorstorm is your best bet for ps3 so far...
It has up to 4player splitscreen, online play etc.

[TheApprentice]

??
I'm just trying to be helpful....
I know alot about ps3 and just sharing the knowledge...
Sorry if I come across as an advertisement for Sony...

Hey, I got SOCOM 2day and no problems so far; but d headset is bess! Betta dan expectd!

[Lelouch]

Hey, is it just me or is Street Fighter 4 just not that impressive? I know about all d hype but as I always classed SF as 3rd to MK and Tekken, SF4 just didnt impress me. I am just saying this because Tekken 6's release is late this year and I realli am disappointed in d lack of hype  the Tekken series has gotten since the failure of Tekken 4. Yet Tekken 5 was AMAZING, but SC4 was uber hyped and was nothing more than SC3 but shinier. I dont noe; is anyone at all excited about Tekken 6 at all?

PSN surpasses 20 Million mark. Number doesn't really say too much in comparison to the Xbox Live service. No way to ascertain how many users are active. Still seems to be pretty good growth...

[Eroo]

That number doesn't really give an accurate figure because one user may have multiple accounts across regions. Blu_Vice has two US accounts and I have four accounts, one each for US, Japan, Europe and Hong Kong.

[woodyear99]

Ah good point Eroo

[ViCe]

That number doesn't really give an accurate figure because one user may have multiple accounts across regions. Blu_Vice has two US accounts and I have four accounts, one each for US, Japan, Europe and Hong Kong.

i hav 4 accounts actually
US, Japan, EU, Hong Kong(this one is my brother's own which will b deleted off my ps3 and used as his login wen he gets his own)
why would any1 hav multiple accounts in d same region? out of d 3 i only use my US and EU

360 ppl also hav multiple accounts also so the numbers on both sides are not accurate

[TheApprentice]

Its a great point yes.
Duplicate accounts probably amount to 2-3 million.

So lets says 17million unique users..
Pretty darn good.

This latest space for Warhawk offers a Sand Table to strategize with your team before matches...

I was thinking about getting Warhawk even tho it is an older title, seeing that it is discounted until March 11th...maybe I will buy it on the PSN hehe

[woodyear99]

About PS3 games in general do most allow you to install to HD? Less wear and tear on the BD drive?
