Resistance 2 'Victory' gameplay HD - http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/21592

Holy shit, Resistance 2 looks bigger, better, and more badass then the first one. The Goliath video alone has more epic action than anything from R:FOM and the new Chimera shown is cool as hell. These videos instantly shot Resistance 2 to the top of my list.

I really want a demo of LittleBigPlanet to see if it's gonna be as awesome as it looks like it could be even though I really know nothing about it.

And I bought myself Rampage as a birthday present today. I forgot how awesome that game is for a good 15 minutes of mindless fun.

The public beta started yesterday. Eurogamer gave out 5800 beta keys, but of course I was attending school during this.

I don't know who else is giving out keys though, there's supposed to be about 60k keys for this beta.

[Kaney]

I was trying to get one but the site was down for hours yesterday.

[Clawson]

I pre-ordered it today and found out about the Kratos bonus. Sweet.

[Baddar]

Yet another update for Burnout has been released, this time Trophy support. Frankly, I'm surprised at the small amount of people on here that own it.

[TheArsenal]

More people may have bought it.... but that fron't page hasn't been updated in about 5 months.....

ZOMG ANOTHER HAMMY HINT?!

[abundant]

It looks like the next opportunity to get into the LBP beta is next week. Gamepro is giving out beta codes on Monday, X-Play is giving out codes on Tuesday, and it looks like Gamespot will be giving out codes next week as well.

[TCO]

I need some advice.

Basically my Xbox 360 is dying, it's scratching discs and I've found out the laser is shot and my warranty is over and I don't have too many games I want to keep at the moment anyway, so I'm going to trade the lot in and pay the difference to get a PS3, as I refuse to buy another Xbox.

What I want to know is:

Which is the best model, in your opinion?

What are the main differences between models?

Do all models have WiFi built in?

Is online 100% free?

Im from Ireland, so PAL reigion obviously.

[MalaCloudy Black]

PS3 games are region-free. Online is completely free, can't answer the WiFi question, and the main differences are usually the size of the harddrive and how many USB slots it has (in my experience, at least). Oh, and backwards compatibility. Newer PS3s can't play PS2 games, only PS1. The last PS3 SKU that had PS2 BC was the 80GB MGS4 bundle.

The 80 gig and the 40 gig has Wi-Fi but not the 20 gig but I know for a fact you won't find a 20 gig anywhere and a 40 gig might still be out there

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I'll be honest, I'm only NOT doing it cos of TheArsenal constantly moaning about it

[Liam]

I actually re-bought Burnout Paradise, since I now have the net sorted and due to all the patches.

Was a little confused by online play though, but will work it out.

I love you.

[TheArsenal]

Oh, you think this is constant? I can show you constant.....

To be honest, I'd pretty much given up on it ever happening (no offence). So I'd pretty much learnt to live with it.

[Clawson]

I just wanna know which of you suckers are gonna get LBP.

[abundant]

After getting into the beta last Friday through a random drawing, I can safely say that everyone here needs to get LBP. The platforming is a little floaty, but the whole "Play, Create, Share" aspect of the game is so much fun and addicting.

Mate if you are looking for one over here your best bet is the 80 Gig. There is a 160 Gig available but unless you plan on puttin music and movies on it by the barrel load you wont need it. Try Xtra vision they are usually pretty good on trade-ins.

Edit: all the pal consoles have wifi built in.
