Keeping in mind I\'m in Europe, I\'m somewhat ahead of the curve even if it\'s only by a week :P
But I got this for review purposes from work so, it\'s all good.
Anyways my impressions, it huge very much huge but it\'s still something I\'d make love to and not be ashamed of it. I\'d actually brag about it. However since this is a review unit I\'m not going to make sweaty man love to it.
It\'s a debug unit, looks just like the normal ones but has "TEST!!!" in huge letters below the PS3 logo. The nice thing is that it plays burnt game copies. Got Motorstorm, NBA Street and Tiger Woods straight from Sony HQ on normal bd rom disks. That was a nice surprise, a little bummed I didn\'t get the full game packaging.
The unit itself is quiet, the only noise comes from the blue ray drive but even that\'s quieter than my 1st gen PS2.... it\'s still huge though. It\'s shiny and black, but with silver bling on it and it\'s huge.
That XMB UI is nice, a little smallish on the fonts though, there should be an option for text size.
But I don\'t really plan on giving the black monolith much of a review, however I do plan on reviewing Motorstorm which is basically the only launch game I was looking forward to.Resistance FOM did peak my interest but I can\'t stand FPS games on consoles, it wrong.
The game Motorstorm that is looks great, beautiful even. Only a few times can you notice flat textures and that\'s only from a certain point of view and only when on one of the very few flat non rocky parts of the tracks. Other than that even on my lowly 480i CRT it looks stunning.
It\'s fun as hell, intense and fast. However I must say this is exactly the kind of game that makes me miss the rumble. I\'d like to get a little kick when I slam into the rocks.
I even got my old man into the game, and he doesn\'t play games... NEVER. However trucking in the dirt tickled him in spots he never knew he had.
Which then brings me into the other bad part of the game, why the flying fuck isn\'t the a 2 player mode. Single player and multiplayer only... why... why WHY? While playing against some people on the net is probly a whole lotta fun this is a game you want to play with someone. You want to rub it in his face when you beat them, you want to call someone a cheating son of a whore when he beats you.
I compared the game to Excite Truck on the Wii, which is fun when playing with someone, Motorstorm just blows it away in all other factors but.... 2 player. How did they miss that, I just do not know. I\'m not sure I want to know because no other reason than the fate of humanity itself is an acceptable reason for not including 2 player mode.
Other than that it\'s all good.

nice
I\'d strongly recommend trying out some FPS\'s. I was an avid PC FPS guy and despised any shooter games on console. Even now, when i hear these stupid little kids talk about how great ghost recon 2 is on xbox, i want to throw them off a cliff into a pit of spikes.
Anyway..they are actually able to make FPS\'s with this generation. Rainbow Six (a series i thought was destroyed/almost was) is probably the best game I own, minding when i get in the mood for sports games.
I\'d just try to get used to the controller (assuming u play PC FPS\'s). The reason PC users hate console FPS\'s is because we suck with the controller while all the halo people are used to it. But it can be fun once u get better. I also have no doubt theyll make a mouse/keyboard at one point or another with all these USB ports

well I\'ll get Resistance in a few days, not sure if I\'m going to review it or not but I\'ll be playing it.
-
Lucky you - I still have 6 whole days of waiting ahead of me. I am probably going to pick up the PAL version of Final Fantasy XII and MotorStorm ( with the looming possibility of Resistance ) with the console itself, so I will give extensive impressions come next weekend.
Have you tested the Blu-Ray drive as a movie-player yet, though? And if you can, could you test the BC capabilities of the PAL machine?
-
nah, didn\'t get any blu ray movies. Probably won\'t till the end of the week.
The single player campaign in Motorstorm is growing on me though, to the point that when I crashed and lost my no1 position mere meters away from the target I almost threw the controller away. Haven\'t gotten pissed over a computer game in a while so that has to be a good thing.
-
i haven\'t bought a Blu-Ray movie and doubt i will for some time.
if i want to see a film, Netflix can have it to me in 1-2 days
-
I dount there will be many films released on both Blu-ray and HD-dvd that will interest you mm.
-
interest me enough to own, no
-
i honestly have an impossible time buying movies. Honestly, the only dvd\'s i own are black hawk down, predator (when AVP came out i craved predator and had money), and x-men 2. And the first 2 seasons of the office but that doesnt count.
hard for me to justify spending money on a movie id watch once every 8 months. which goes for all movies
-
That is why I burn DVD\'s when ever I rent them. In other words I pay a fraction of the retail cost.
I am notorious for copying tv series since there DVD box sets tend to be extremely expensive. I remember when they were charging $39 for each session of OZ. I payed $20 to rent/own all 5 sessions. Personally I think they over charge for TV shows on DVD.
What really drives me up the wall is that My HDTV reveals all the flaws in the SDTV content, plus I hate 4:3 and refuse to stretch the image to 16:9 Maybe one day they will do a HD transfer of all my favourite TV shows(which aren\'t many since 90% of the content on TV is pure trash)
-
piracy is so cool
-
I don\'t even pirate movies. I download them from my campus network but I never keep them. One, the quality is crap. Two, I typically do it to preview the movie. Three, I usually buy the movie if I love it. I love buying movies.
-
this thread took a 180 but..o well :D
anyway, i might get netflix this summer when i only have work and no school. Just wish their plans were a little better. 1 DVD at a time (unlimited rentals) for 10 bucks a month is fair, but it\'d be a pain to constantly be mailing the dvd\'s and waiting for the next one. 2 for 15 bucks is kind of a rip off to me, and 3 for 18 bucks is fair but i dont think i\'d use it enough to make it worth the money. Wish it was like 2 at a time for 12 bucks.
Can you specify that you want HD-DVD\'s? I have to sign up and stuff on the site to go more in depth into what you can get and i dont feel like doing that right now

If that\'s not piracy, what is? Hell I don\'t blame you but you have to call it for what it is. :)

you\'d know better then anyone.
People don\'t get massive Broadband connections to browse the net eh ;)

So True!
Yes mm it is, please don\'t act like your not one yourself.

Its only piracy if I keep or share. And I\'m a pretty big prick about sharing ;) But I guess it is piracy. But I don\'t consider it piracy if I actually buy the damn movie ;)

I got broadband for porn :confused:
-
It\'s piracy if you download it illegally, no matter what you then do to it (delete, share, buy). :)
And I\'m one of those who got a broadband connection for reasons other than piracy (and porn)... I just hate waiting too long for stuff to download. By stuff I mean websites, flash, trailers, demos, whatever.
EDIT: And on topic - I tried a PS3 today by accident. It had Motorstorm running and I must say I\'m impressed. Great graphics and physics. It was very fun to play. All in all I think the PS3 is shaping up to be pretty good overall, considering all the bad press and controversy. I\'ll definatly get one when the price is cut, partly for the console but also for the Blu-Ray player.
-
Sorry but I have been MIA (kidnapped by GigaShadow and Mossad, I killed them all but spared Giga). So I missed out on all the fun.
Very impressed by the PS3. So far I have 5 games.
Resistance and Motorstorm which I got for launch (actually, I got them waaay before launch, import from Canada, but as I didnt have a PS3 they were impossible to play, I tried my PS2 and my PC.)
Very impressed by MotorStorm. Probably the out of the box most fun game in a long ass time. However, the game is flawed in many ways, especially in multiplayer, but those are being patched I heard.
Resistance - I was very sceptical about this game for a long time. All the videos I saw had the old tired RUN AND GUNZ LAWLZ gameplay in them, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. I\'m glad I did since the game is all kinds of HAWT. The singleplayer really REALLY took after a few missions. And the multiplayer is very impressive, 40 player multiplayer with my lag.
Later I got the following games.
For my birfday F1 CE – I wonder where all the hate came from, caus this game is very good. I never liked the F1 games before I beta-tested the PS2 version online. So I was interested in CE but never got it, until my birfday came along. So in short, pretty graphics, 30fps which is a minus.. Plus is that its stable 30fps, fun gaymeplay for being a F1 game (I perfer slower road safe Volvos). Multiplayer is fun IF you drive with crashes off.. Otherwise you will be assraped and have a rectal inspection in no-time. Some A-hole will forget to break and force his DICK up YOUR ASS (be advised FOX viewers, this post is filled with HOMO SEX U A L references, WE can not GUARANTEE you this poster is a freedom-loving Israel-supporting HOMO-hating christian.)
Later because I was bored and wanter a real sports game – Virtua Tennis 3, my first SEGA game in a long ass time. Why? First SEGA game in a long time that does not SUCK.
Good game but I KNEW those SEGA-fooktards would screw it up somehow. So what did they do this time? MAKE THE GAME SOUND BLOOD-GOODLY AWEFUL. The sound in this game is terrible. Since I dont like to play with hysterical Japanese-trying-to-be-american RAWK AND ROLL I turned the music off. What greeted me instead of nice soundeffects? MUSLIM-LOVING soundeffects, thats what. The sound from the tennisplayers feet are really really bad. Really fooking bad.
Oblivion – Yeah yeah, I put 51-52 hours into the PC version.. But since all this talk of Shivering Isles I got the urge to play this game again. So I installed it on my PEZE and was greeted by HORRIBLE performance. Framskips all over the place, I had to lower the graphics quite a bit and turn off HDR.. I was forced to play the game in a non-native american resolution, WHICH I HATE. Especially on LCDs.
So I checked out the Gametrailers Oblivion PS3 vs Xboxthreeshitty videos, and saw that.. in fact.. my PS3 outraped my PC. So I decided to get the PS3 version and dump the PC version. And I\'m very happy to have made that choice. PS3 version runs better and looks better. So far Im logging 70+ hours on PS3.
PSN titles. I have bought a few, too lazy to list them all. But fl0w was very nice, also Super Rub a Dub, a nice demo for the SIXAXIS.
Blu-Ray playback looks ace on my TV. Very happy about that, hard going back to regular sucky DVDs after having sucked the blu-cock.
And.. what else? Ah, some CHICKS with PICKS.

Yes, I am drunk.. and perhaps a little gay.. and feeling a little pro-israel.. Forgive me.
