How good is your sound system? Blu-rays have much improved audio over dvds so it's not completely pointless.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Just got an email from Amazon that tomorrow's gonna be all PS3 in the gold box.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

You'd also need a pretty good sound system to go beyond normal DD5.1 or DTS. Unless he's an audiophile, I doubt he's got an HDMI receiver if he doesn't have an HDTV...

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Yeah I'm hearing impaired so I'm not an audiophile at all. :lol: Thanks for the input on Blurays guys, I'm looking at getting a HDTV in the spring so i'll pick up some movies after i upgrade.

I wasn't looking to get a PS3 but a buddy sold me his one month old 120 slim for a great price that i couldn't turn down. I'm really looking forward to checking out Metal Gear Solid 4, the Uncharted games and maybe some LBP.

Way too much to hope for a few bucks on GoW Collection?

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

It's $29 at Target this week. That's a pretty great deal right there.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Oh, really!? I did not know that and I was just there.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Shit, Pinata, I'm sorry. It's was Tales From Liberty City that's $29.99, not GoW Collection. Got my $40 compilations confused. I apologize for getting your hopes up there. :blush:

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

No problem. I still have that $40 Amazon credit waiting for anything I have my eye on to dip a little. Worst case is I spend it on the 31st.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

$20 PSN credit wasn't good enough?

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Nothing I saw I could spend it on called out to me :shrug:

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Dante's Inferno was definitely a God of War clone (in the literal sense) but I had a lot of fun playing the demo anyway.

Certainly a way for the 360 crowd to play "God of War" on their console. Even if the hero/story isn't quite up to par.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Normally I go 360 on multi-console games for if/when I purchase Dante's Inferno it would be on the PS3 since I'm already used to the controls on the DualShock. Also, I believe they're throwing in a bunch of bonuses in the PS3 version but keeping it at the $60 price point.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Upgraded to v3.15 last night and have no issues on my 60GB Fatty. Anyone experience any issues with the new firmware?

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

I upgraded on an original 60GB with no issues either.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Has anyone upgraded to 3.15 (from a version prior to 3.00) on a 40 GB unit?

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Not to mention, Dante's Inferno is the rare instance where the PS3 was the lead platform and the 360 version is the port.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

I'm calling out to you. Give me your free money.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Quick question, is there a fairly cheap solution for decent remote for this lump?

thanks

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

What's your definition of fairly cheap? Nyko's Blu Wave Remote isn't too bad at $15, and it comes with an infrared sensor.

... but I say just go with the standard PS3 Bluetooth remote, which is $20 on Amazon right now.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Thanks, that's not bad though I'm having second thoughts about keeping this thing, we just picked it up and we got an old 60 gig version for the PS backwards compatibility, but it wasn't cheap and we're thinking of taking it back for a cheaper regular Blu Ray player.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Keep it...

It does everything.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

I tried it last night. Terrible! It's trying way too hard to be dark and edgy and controversial, and in the end it's just really dumb, repetitive, and boring.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Did you really think it was trying to be edgy and controversial? I just thought they were trying as hard as they possibly could to make a God of War clone without actually setting it in the realm of Greek mythology. If that was their goal, I don't think they could have succeeded more than they did.
