Now this is funny:



I swear Sony management has gone batshit insane.

PS3 not in the game

Playstation 3 users in Australia will be able to play fewer older titles than their US and Japanese counterparts as Sony looks to reduce costs in the local model. The long-awaited PS3 launches in Australia, Europe and New Zealand on March 23, five months after it was released in the US and Japan.

But Sony said yesterday the Australian and European regional models - which operate on the PAL regional television standard - will not feature the same level of "backwards compatability" as the US and Japanese versions.

PAL PS3's will still be compatible with over 1000 games from the playstation catalogue.

Yup Sony have unleashed this behemoth of a programme which takes the best ideas from Xbox Live and the Wii Mii system and takes to a quite unbelievable level. Like a free version of the Sims, a second life if you will. The announcement and fantastic trailer of 'Home' and another deep community based game called 'Big Little Planet' which also has 2 trailers on Gamespot really finally puts the PlayStation network on the map.

I am not a fan of the PS3 as you probably know.
This however, does look unbelievably badass and fucking sweet!  I bought the Sims and was totally unimpressed, but I do recognise the massive market for this kind of stuff and the PS makers seems to have capitilised on this nicely.
I wait for the XBox to copy this idea, if they can ...
Finally got something right eh?

SCEA and SOE are developing MMORPG(something similiar to ffxi) style online service for PS3 right now.  It will have online pack which it comes with HDD and the online software. You can go online and chat with people like mmorpg style. Your stats will have the list of games you have and scores(or ranks) for each game, and other great things.  And if you want to look for someone to play online for certain game, you have to go to this certain area(or town) for that specific game or the game will automatically takes you to that town. Sony thinks "hyper links" technology is a history.  They want to create a "virtual world" for PS3 online service where people can actually interact eachother like mmorpg style.  There are more great details, but this is all I can get for now.  I'm not expecting you to believe me

So from tomorrow, next gen will officially be current gen as the Ps3 goes worldwide, I may be getting mine today if I'm lucky, if I do, tell my friends and family that i love them as they won't be seeing me again!

Lol at Sony losing Devil May Cry 4.

What's the point of buying such an expensive system? The only game PS3 has that probably won't be ported to 360 is Final Fantasy. Even MGS4 will probably be ported.

What's the point of buying such an expensive system?

one of the main reasons im buying it is because of the blu-ray player

[Jimmy?]

Ditto, it's not expensive in comparison with Blu-Ray players.....plus it's a games console. BONUS

Ah then that actually makes alot of sense. Sometimes I forget about that. No offense meant, my bad.

[Shoco]

no worries, iv had an hd ready tv for ages but nothing to watch on it, i but a lot of dvds so im gonne be buying blu-ray from now on

[Shoco]

well anyone else get this today??

i got mine and so far im really impressed, the graphics and sound in F1 are unbelievable, by far the best ever

also call of duty 3 which i havent played yet, and fall of man which is great so far

havent been able to get connected to the internet yet

Well i started this thread some months ago so now I finally have the system i suppose i should give my two pennies worth. Had it for over 24 hours now as my local games delaer kindly let me pick it up on thursday (naughty, naughty) and have hardly put the pad down.

First of all she is one sexy beast of a machine, sleek shiny, black and oozing quality. It is huge and heavy but once it is sitting in front of your tv that doesnt matter, also becuase it is so heavy it feels quality too.

I have been preparing over the last year by getting a hdtv, surround sound speakers and the like and it all paid off, watching the opening sequence of motorstorm in hd and with thumping surround sound is a real moment, it is stunning.

Also brought resistance fall of man, which has a great solo mode with an incredible amount of action on screen at once, me and my mate played co-op which was even better. But nothing can prepare you for the quality of this games online mode - it is sensational.

Got online after midnight and registered which should secure me a free copy of Casino Royale Blu Ray and proceeded to the playstation store have since downloaded and played the free demos of GTHD (stunning), ridge racer 7 and online game blastfactor, also brought Tekken DR which looks incredible for an old arcade/psp game.

All in all the playstation 3 has so far met my expectations and i fully expect it to exceed them very shortly.
