I wonder if Tekken 5 has online play vs other players. All the reviews I have been reading about it have no mention about it even though its released in Japan already
No, it doesn't and honestly, it looks like a rushed port. I don't own a PS3, a friend does and I have played his, the one title I was half-way looking forward to was the Tekken 5 and it was a complete letdown. No online play, no sale.

If you want to download it, by the way.....

[QUOTE]im in the usa and i used my mastercard to download tekken 5 heres how. first go to your ps3 and click add user. now go to the online and select create new playstation network account.
when you start the sign up process click hong kong as your residence and in the address field enter your address. and for provincestate just pick hong kong and whatever. then when it asks you to add funds select yes and just pick 40 80 160

the tekken game cost 125hkd which equals about 16 dollars. if you pick 160 and it doesnt go throught try 40 cause it wouldnt let me put in 160 so i had to add 80 and 40 2 times.

so in the end youll end up with one hong kong account and one usa account which is good i downloaded ridge racer demo which is only in the asia playstation store[/QUOTE[

Gripshift is up for download (free demo, $9.99 for full game)

I believe a new PS1 game is up also.

thanks for the update. I'm downloading it now. the demo is only 121MB so it should only take 4-6hrs to download. ;)

I used the itrackr (for the first time) and it showed a local Target with PS3s show up in stock this morning. I drove out there not sure what to expect, but they had 4 units in the case (which is all it could fit, so they may have had more).

I picked one up, an extra controller, and game (Full Auto 2), and applied for a Target card to get an extra 10% off ($71!). Went over the nearby Gamestop and picked up a Sony Remote. I just got done spending an hour or so hooking up and configuring the system, and now I'm downloading the GT-HD demo.

I went to my Blockbuster online account and started adding Blu-ray movies to rent, and was disappointed to see many titles missing (like Covenant this week, but even older titles like The Wild, Flight of the Phoenix, Annapolis, etc) probably about 1/3 of the movies I was looking for. I went ahead and set up a cheap Netflix account to pick up the straglers that Blockbuster is missing.

After spending hours researching on which one to get, I opted for the 60gb at Target this morning. Woo woo!!!

Of course, I've had the Samsung BD player for 3 months, so I was already enjoying some BD goodness. Still, the PS3 is definitely the more future-proof player. Sony will make sure this unit is up to date on everything with firmware upgrades. I tested it out with X3 and it does look sharper from this system compared to the Samsung, which has the latest firmware. I also managed to get the last BD remote from Walmart. I'm into gaming, so I'll get full use out of this system. I'm happy with the purchase. I just hope my unit has no bugs in it, al la some of the freezing issues mentioned on AVS.

I read on a website that PS2 games looks like crap on the PS3. Is this true? I couple of friends have the PS3 but they didn't try PS2 games on it, so they can't tell. Any info on this? Thanks!

The only PS2 game I've played so far is Bully and it looked the same as played on PS2 to me. Haven't tried the others as I've been playing too much Tony Hawk, Tiger Woods, GT HD and other PS3 games. Also been playing a lot of Wii. Maybe I should sell off my PS2 games as I don't see most of them getting played for awhile anyways.

Anyone know of a site that lists which PS2 games look bad on PS3? I gave a quick search and didn't see anything relevant.

corbin dallas 01-07-07 08:22 AM

Some look like poo while others don't. The original Genji looks like crap for example. It looks like pitfall graphics on an Atari 2600.

I'm hoping Sony comes up with a fix for this. I wan't to play the Devil May Cry and FF series on the 3 instead of the 2 now.

The ones that don't look bad such as a kids game like Dora, Muppets Party cruise are acceptable but, i'm sure most on these boards wouldn't have an interest in those. rotfl

The common word is that 480i PS2 games look bad on the PS3, particularly the Final Fantasy games. There was a big thread from the Sony forums about this... i think i posted the link to the thread earlier.

Lazy Bum 01-08-07 02:31 AM

Just a quick question: I may be doing something wrong, but everytime I turn the system off while I'm in the middle of a movie and I turn the system back on, I have to start from the very beginning again as if it's the first time I popped in the movie. Is this how it is? Or is their some specific option I have to change? Also I am turning it off from the front and not the back.

PerryD 01-08-07 01:57 PM

I have a question. I want to download the Loco Roco Holiday game from the PS3 to my PSP. The instructions on the PS3 just say to connect the PSP to the PS3 with the USB cable. I did that, but nothing happens. Am I missing an important step? The PSP and PS3 are running latest firmware.

Rob V 01-08-07 03:13 PM

Well, against my better judgement, I bought a 60GB PS3 and hooked it up over the weekend. I rationalized my purchase by claiming it to be the supreme BD player on the market... anyways, I d/l the Motostorm demo and just played. Man was my hand CRAMPED from pulling that upper right trigger. I don't know if it's because Im so used to playing the Xbox 360 or what... but that controller sucks (or should I say "control" for Motorstorm) - and I don't have big hands at all.

did you set the PSP into USB mode? Haven't tried it myself...

BTW, can't you just download it straight into your PSP by using the PSP browser to go to the PSP website?

I have no idea what to do. I just noticed the game for the first time while setting up the new PS3, clicked on it, it said to connect my PSP via USB, and that's it. I haven't studied on the PSP side of things, I suppose it makes sense that it needs to be put in a certain ready mode, but I wish the Loco Roco PS3 page would tell me that.

SexualPudding 01-08-07 05:24 PM

You definitely have to put the PSP into USB mode first. That is how I downloaded Syphon Filter and Hot Shots Golf.

Mr. Cinema 01-08-07 06:42 PM

Has anyone noticed their PS3 scratching discs? I handle all of my with great care, but I've noticed no matter how I take out a BD, the bottom now has tiny scratch marks. This is not good.

In case you haven't done it yet, on your PSP under settings, enable your USB connection, that should do it. I downloaded MidiEvil, which I had never played before, it's lots of fun.

I found a good deal on a PS3 yesterday, so I bit. I only bought Resistance for it and I'm not overly impressed. Mostly I'm using this as a BD player right now.

maingon 01-10-07 11:38 AM

I almost got a ps3 today at best buy, none of the games intrest me right now but want it for blu-ray. Right now I own a HD-dvd player, but theres some movies I want on Bluray, but I couldnt spend the money almost did but passed. Are ps3 selling well anymore? Best Buy had 12 PS3 all stacked up.

Save Ferris 01-10-07 11:48 AM

I bet there will be a firesale on PS3s by the time I need (and I will need) a bluray player.

No, but I have noticed what a dust collector the PS3 is compared to my other video/audio equipment. I swear, I can't keep the bloody thing clean. :)

BBEANLPHIE 01-10-07 02:26 PM

I just got capcom collection 2 and sega collection 2 yesterday. Why does the controller shut off once the ps2 games loads? Anyone else have this happen? Also the screen overlaps on the right side if you try to make it full screen on any of the games the right side shows the left side of the screen itshard to explain. Ugh

Yup, mine does that too. I'm guessing it does that when swapping into dual shock mode, or when the emulation chip on the ps3 kicks in. Kinda annoying.
