Well Resistance is a decent game online but I can take or leave the single player.
The biggest issue online is that you respawning often takes place is the worst spots. I'll respawn right in the middle of a fight or I'll be running and someone will appear right in front of me. It got really annoying but it is still a very fun game.

I can't get my rental copy of Kingdom Hearts to work. Has it bad backwards compatibility issues or do I just have a bad copy? I created a save spot on the drive, it then flashes the PS3 logo. Then my controller will shut off. I click the button to turn it back on and then all I get it a blank screen. Am I missing something?

If anyone else is buying a PS3 with EB/Gamestop's awesome $100 trade-in deal, make sure you turn off upnp on your router and on the PS3, or else you will never be able to download anything. It's very frustrating and needs to be patched.

Well I decided to bite the bullet and I will pick one up tomorrow. I ordered the bluetooth remote as well. I figured you can't beat 600 bucks for a decent bluray player. I'll worry about games later. I only have 2 questions though:
1) does it only come with one controller?
2) does it come with the component cables?
I'm being lazy and don't feel like searching the thread. :-D Any other advice?

It comes with one controller and no component cables. I think that they are $50!
I would consider hunting down a 20GB version unless you need the wifi, but if you are already on XBL, you probably don't.

Does it only come with one controller? Come on, you should know better. I think the last console that actually came with two controllers was the SNES in 1991.
If your TV can accept it, you can get an HDMI cable for under $10 (or more if you need a longer length) at Monoprice.

LOL! Yeah I should know better. Man! I can't believe it doesn't even come with component cables. I've seen the 20 and 60 versions so i can get either. My 360 is wired but I am still leaning towards the 60gb version of the ps3 (assuming I can still hook it up wired to my router). I can use HDMI but don't ask me why but I prefer component.
Thanks for the quick responses! I am sure I will have more questions tomorrow. :-D

The list is one again updated.
We really need a sticky thread for game IDs. It seems like having 3 threads would be a real annoyance on the forum. It's a shame we can't get everyone to place nice so we can have 1 thread that covers the online Codes/Gamertags/IDs for all systems.

can add my id to the list as well, only played tiger woods online though so far
just not sure i'll get into playing online, always get my ass kicked so bad that it's not even fun. tried tiger woods again last night and was playing as my golfer that I use, it's ok, can hit a drive of around 270-290 yards. but ended up playing against someone hitting 350+ yard drives, spinning the ball like crazy, etc. Just got creamed. Maybe there's a way to handicap the players or only play against equally ranked people, i dunno. Just things like that and getting killed by the pros in Resistance all the time is a huge turnoff to online gaming for me as I don't have the time to become good enough I guess. Oh well... I'm sure that isn't the case with all online games.
