Gold trader and all that.
Also sent you a friend request...

I'm starting to think my PSN problems have to be related to my wireless network. It just can't be this bad. I turn on the PS3 and start playing Uncharted. Almost immediately I get a message about an error with PSN and I'm being logged out. Playing GT5 I can't even upload or check rankings consistently. Is it my network or is it always this bad?

I just played a password protected game of Warhawk with a buddy who's more or less on my level skillwise...and it was the most fun I've had playing a game since Mario Galaxy. Freaking awesome!

Wow I just had my ass handed to me in Lemmings. 
I did the 5 trial boards and the 10 Fun boards and the very first Tricky is giving me problems. I used to burn through some Lemmings back in the day. Wasn't happening tonight, that's for sure.

Absolutely. A large map with a small number of noobs is a blast.

Picked up the Collector's Edition of Stranglehold today for $30. Figured they game was worth about $15 and I had no problem paying an extra $15 for Hardboiled in HD. Starting to see the Collector's Editions less and less so I grabbed one while I could.

I'd like some help/tips/advice. Is there anything I should be looking out for?

I'm new to the VG forums of DVD Talk, but I just thought I'd let everyone know that I now have a PS3 (40GB).
I heard it ended 01/31. I'm going to be setting up the PS3 tomorrow (Monday), so I'll see what it says when I open the box. I'm sad that I missed the 5 free Blu-ray deal, but I own a total of 1 Blu-ray disc thus far!
I'll post my tag tomorrow.

Is there a way on the PS3 version of Rainbow 6 Vegas to play splitscreen multiplayer
but have the 2nd player log-in like you can on the 360? My wife and I have been
replaying it on the PS3 but we can't figure out how to sign her account in so it saves
her standings/weapon/shield pick-ups. It'll sign one of us in via whoever is signed in
through the dash and save their progress, but attempts to sign in the 2nd person
just logs the 1st out. Is logging a 2nd person in possible, or is it only "guest" for
player 2? Does the rename function act as a way to save a 2nd player's progress
along with the 1st?

Thanks for the info. Can essentially get one with shipping for the same cost on ebay so I'm gonna go ahead and do that and not wait until April.
But, yeah, it's still expensive for a controller.

I'd like rumble back (at least for backwards compatibility), but I have no use for a second controller at all. Hell, ever since I got the BD remote, I've barely got a use for the one that came with the system. I've had to hook my PS2 back up anyways to play my imports. Bah.
