I remember watching District 9 in theaters and thinking "Wow, this sure gets me in the mood for some God of War!"

Well, I'm happy that it's being included. I'll probably get the GoW Collection, but not anytime soon after it comes out. I will, however, be getting District 9 right upon release.

The rumor is that the District 9 director might be doing the God of War movie.

The scene in District 9 where the alien mech uses a "gravity gun" to launch a pig made me think of how awesome a Half-Life movie would be.

Video games should not be made into movies. No good can come of it.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition

What is the best way to watch YouTube videos on the PS3 through a media server? I have TVersity up and running, I use it all the time for various video files, and have decided to try to get YouTube working through it since I saw the options for it and everything. I added a few user channels, it shows up on my PS3 complete with icons and images of the videos, but when I click on them it just sits there on a black screen for a while then pops up date corrupted. This isn't anything I really need to make happen, but it sure would be handy.

It's not very good, but the ps3 browser has a link in it to youtube with full screen menus specifically for the ps3.. It's like youtube.com/ps3 or something

Uncharted 2 is the best movie I've seen this year.

Just the opposite here. I have the GoW Collection preordered and didn't like District 9 much at all.

The ps3 browser seems to crash my ps3 a lot on videos. If I am doing some heavy youtube watching it crashes twice a night where I have to hard reset my ps3.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition

<--- Enjoying the heck out of watching my 11 year old play Uncharted. The look on his face during the train sequence...priceless.

"DAD...DID YOU SEE THAT? THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!"

"Yeah, that was pretty cool"

The best thing, though is talking about how they pulled off some of the scripted sequences like the train after designing LBP levels. He can conceptualize how reaching points on the train triggers new scenery and how they hide transitions by putting you inside train cars.

They don't actually have real schools in Texas do they? I thought the only thing taught there was guns and cattle?

Playing Uncharted 2 duh.. It's way more important than school

Yeah, that was an unfortunate use of the word "hard" in the context of heavy video use.

On another note, I found that after playing Lego: Rockband for a couple hours my wrist starts to hurt. I may have to ummmm well how should I say? Take my priorities in "hand", and make sure they work out better.

Spoiler:
Just kidding

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition

Is it different from other GoWs, or just more visually impressive?

For instance, I prefer the second and third Ratchet and Clank games to the newer/prettier ones.

Previous two afternoons...and continuing...hence the use of present tense.
