Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
Shit, I just started Bioshock last night. And you guys think YOU'RE behind? I'm still meaning to pick up Rock Band 2 and export my RB1 disk. And now that some Wolfmother has been announced, the better half has expressed some interest in learning how to play.

Meh. KZ2 was definitely slick, but it took itself far too seriously in my opinion. It was like everything in the game was on steroids. I grew bored with it rather quickly.

I love the PR guy. He was one of my favorite actors on the short lived "Sons & Daughters".

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
that's why I got it, but then when I found out I couldn't play with a friend, it has just sat around. Resistance 2 is so much fun as co-op and competitive. I wonder when the next one will come out.......
I guess Insomnia just did the new Ratchet & Clank game so maybe they'll be back to Resistance again.

KZ2 was fine. Different to play from the other FPSs, and I've played most of them, at least the most popular: Halo, Gears, COD, etc.
I didn't like the dialogues, and the acting in general, but the story was OK for a FPS and was a really good ride.
I have only tried the Resistance 1 demo and I didn't like it. I haven't played neither Resistance 1 or Resistance 2, the full games.

the multi-player modes are where it's at.

I see. I really didn't care about KZ2 MP, I played a little bit and it just wasn't my cup of tea. I'm not a COD MP either, I'm more of the Halo/Gears group.

KZ2 MP looked promising as I liked all the different types of characters you can unlock (medic, soldier, special ops....etc). I only played an hour or so, though.
Do you have Uncharted 2? If so, have you tried any of the mp? Those are pretty fun and similar to R2's multiplayer.....although the co-op isn't as good.

Yeah, I have Uncharted 2, but I haven't started playing it since I'm finishing the first one, second time, to get all the money/gold (?). But I have played MP, I played in the beta back in May or June and then a few weeks ago before the game was released and yeah, it was a lot of fun.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
Am I the only one feeling spoiled/overwhelmed with the PS3 lately?
Playing Arkham Assylum and Uncharted 2 back-to-back has me positively giddy, since I think both will end up on my top-10 of all time list, and I'll have InFamous, Fallout 3 GOTY, God of War Collection and a new Ratchet and Clank to play over the holidays.

I can play DVDs, but games and Blu-ray freeze after 10-15 minutes. Not sure whether to bite the bullet on the $150 repair or hope for a fix. I know, I'm a fool to hope....

I think it is Sony telling you to go ahead and buy a slim. What's another 150 bucks, cheapskate!

Try to find out if you have any local third party repairs shops in your area. We have a couple around here (found one actually on craigslist) that fix consoles for around $60 and don't charge you to just inspect it. Might be worth the chance.

Well after all of the Killzone 2 talk, I decided to finally pop it in this morning. Now only if I didn't have to wait for all of the updates...

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
I already have an account, going to that link posted after I was able to click the link for the disc and it told me it would let me know when it ships
Trust me, if it isn't a red ring you would be paying MS probably close to the same, and trust me, all the systems have many other errors than the red ring, just that red ring is more prevalent. Even the wii would be charging I think 120 dollars if it breaks, that's almost the price of a new system.
