Give TVersity a look…it streams all your music,photos,video files to PS3…works perfect for me…you do have to tweak it to your preferences though.[/quote]

Cool, thanks.

I am a fan now.

Someone mentioned Killzone 2…are you fucking kidding me?? It was a sub-par first person shooter on the PS2. It was supposed to be a “Halo Killer” I think I still laugh in my sleep at that one. How long ago did they show that “actual game footage” trailer? It was being shown since the PS3 came out.

You must not follow E3 b/c they have been showing Killzone 2 for over a year. Here is some muli-player from Killzone

That Shit Looks Awesome!!!

No problem…I think it works better specifically for the PS3 than using Windows Media to stream your files.

Each system has its strengths/weaknesses…BUT they both satisfy what we all want…hell,buy both if you feel like you’re missing out on something…no big deal.

By the way has anyone played Bionic Commando:Rearmed?? I get an old 2D nostalgic feeling when I play that game. Fun game…and a cheap $10. Capcom is still bringing it…considering how long they’ve been around.[/quote]

And another Bionic Commando is in the works

Good post, by the way. I’ve never understood the hate some people have for the PS3 or 360. I can understand preferring one to the other or only wanting to buy one of them (they are getting pretty expensive), but saying that one outright sucks I think is silly. They both have their strengths.

I’ve almost always saved up so I can buy whatever console I’m interested in, so I guess I’ve never really had an issue with one console vs. the other. If the prices on future consoles keep going up though, then perhaps I’ll have to start making choices.

I acually have been a fan of Sony’s systems since the first playstation. I will eventually purchase a PS3 for Blu Ray and The upcoming God of War so I actually don’t hate the PS3. What ticked me off was the rampant bandwagon jumping that was happening for the last couple posts. And dude with the sith lord avatar kinda got my goat with all the fanboy talk, so I deceided to throw some love the 360’s way.

The only system that I really dislike is the Wii I owned it for about a month before selling it on ebay. To me it was a PS2 with stupid looking controllers.

True…I had a PS One when they first came out…then I had an XBox when Splinter Cell came out and a Game Cube. I didn’t even get a PS2 until the slim one came out…lol. Personally,I enjoyed just knowing that when I got tired of the XBox/Game Cube games…there was the PS2 and a entire library of games waiting for me.

I guess you pretty much share my sentiments then?? Burn that “bandwagon” shit…its retarded. I have a PS3…but I actually plan on getting a 360. I’m glad I waited on getting 360 for OBVIOUS reasons.

Yeah,my wife wants a Wii for the house…she received one for her classroom through a grant…I played it and just can’t really get into it.

I have all three systems. I <3 video games. My second addiction behind training.

Hell…I’m playing Madden 09,posting,and doing bodyweight circuit…and t-baggin.

Bionic Commando: Rearmed is the stuff.

Will be picking up the newest BC when it hits.

Hell, I’ve got the original BC nintendo cartridge in my closet. Took me forever and a mothertruckin’ day to beat that bitch.

I just need something that kills time and is fun, but my computer sucks ass. I’m looking for things like Sim City 4000, Civilization 4 ect…
I like my strategy games!

Well, World of War craft is a game you could try. You can play the whole game bye your self if you want or with ppl you know or some randome Joe on-line.

But if you really want a stratagy game you can try Simcity Societies, Dawn of War, Supreme Commander, Company of Heros, Overlord or Warcraft 3. But you might be suprised what you can run with your POS it just wont be on high

Thanks, I’ll check those out when I get home. Most games I play are 2002-2005 really. Games like Command and Conquer Generals for example. But yeah, I’ll take a look after. Thanks[/quote]

Heh, I’m really picky. The only game there that looks decent to me is Supreme Commander. I really dig more ‘realistic’ games to be honest. If it’s space stuff, nothin tops Starcraft :stuck_out_tongue:

Wait, there’s an upcoming God of War for the PS3?

And people still want an X-Box?

I still am pretty fond of my 360, even with some of the problems I have had it with and its predecessor, mostly because I love the games on it (Halo 3, Gears of War, etc.)

Personally, I am pretty jacked up for Fable 2 when it comes out in October. The first one was just a lot of fun (although the final execution of the game could have been better… the overall concept of how choices affect everything for your character is great).

Golf clap.

Much louder golf clap…like if some girl got naked in the green.

I just can’t see it translating. There are certain games that are meant to stay games — God of War, Halo, Resident Evil. We know how the RE movies turned out, and then there’s always Mario, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Hitman for other points of reference. There’s no way a movie could capture an epic scene like the falling-pillars part of GoW2… no way.

If they attacked it on the level of Gladiator and 300, they could make this work VERY well.

Here is a preview of the game God of War III
http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/godofwariii/video_player.html?id=ciE2kTX75b0LsjDY&tag=user_vids;img

It looks good - I’m ashamed that I haven’t played any in the series yet. My friends raved about them being really good.

Anyone played strategies on a console yet? Is it easy to play compared to on a PC - without a mouse and keyboard?

I’m looking forward to Fable 2 as well. I really loved the first one. I’m going to pick up Too Human this afternoon. It didn’t get good reviews, but I thought the demo was fun.

I’m also interested in getting Infinite Undiscovery.

When The Force Unleashed comes out, that one I’m not sure which console I’m going to get it on yet.

You guys see this?

Very cool mod.

Also,

I checked out Spiderman 3 on Blu-Ray playing in a Best Buy. Yes, it was super sharp, and I understand that higher resolution is required if you are outputting video to screens that have more resolution than standard TVs (such as 720p or higher), but the movie looked TOO sharp.

Literally, every scene in the movie looked as if they were showing the Behind the Scenes…the lighting, framerate, etc, did not look like it was the same as the film post-production.

Does that make sense? I never know what it’s called or how to reference it, but when you look at something playing and can tell it’s a movie/show vs. shot with a video camera.

Maybe I need to see other movies in Blu-Ray.
