The Old Sony Megathread

[AJ]

Has anyone bought (or felt the need for that matter) for these clip on extension thingies for the trigger buttons?

I laughed watching some guy review them on ebay ages ago cause I never felt slipping off the trigger buttons was a problem prior to seeing them but I can understand how it might be. Just wondered if anyone actually found them useful?

I prefer DS3 for the weightiness if nothing else.

I prefer the Sixaxis for the opposite reason. >_> I like how it's lighter in my hands than the DS3 controller.

I didn't really see the point in them, but one of the guys at work swears by them. I picked some up and they are really comfortable, and now it feels weird not using them. But it's kind of a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist. They're worth a go as they're usually only a couple of pounds.

And Cloudy, the 6A feels too much like a toy, I worry that I'd get annoyed at a game and just fling it around or something >_>

A Playstation controller doesn't feel right without a rumble feature.

I wish I'd waited to get the official Sony keyboard pad thing cos it fits the controller so much better than my third party monstrosity.

Yeah, I heard their selling point was that your fingers would, now and then, slip off the R2/L2 buttons. I can't say I've ever had that problem, so I don't need them.

Playstation Home in fun time waster shocker......

The Red Bull Air Race game is brilliant.

[Herr Matzat]

Yay, now the Killzone 2 PS3 Bundles is at 1-2 Month Shipping time... ... is there a new bundle comming up?

[Clawson]

So I picked up The Show today if anybody needs a whipping boy.

[Cactus Drags]

I have The Show ordered from dvdboxoffice.com, but it's taking forever to ship out, it's said "on order, ships in 5-10 days" for over a fortnight now

[Baddar]

Update 2.70 has been released. Details of what's included can be found here;

I like the idea of the text chat, now that I've read into it. When it said you can now send messages to friends while playing a game, I thought that we were able to do that already. This is more of an instant messaging thing though, which I like. A lot.

EDIT: Oh, while I'm here...

I got my copy of World Snooker Championship 2009 early from Play.com () Anyone here planning on buying it? I won't make a thread until I know others are getting it. If so, we'll have to arrange some pool/snooker matches to play online.

If you buy a Dualshock 3 Controler, dos it come with or without extra USB Cable?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Without, iirc.

[Herr Matzat]

Boho for that.

But it feels a lot slicker than the PS2 controler, even with the few changes they did.

Now all i need is the PS3. >_>

[Grade A Superstar]

does anyone have any suggestions for any good psp games? it seems every game i buy that isnt a sports game sucks

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Locoroco and Patapon are both excellent pairs of games. Some of the RPGs have some massive followings, especially over here.

The old Final Fantasy games play well too.

I'd generally leave shooter or driving games alone though.

[Captain Kirk]

Breath of Fire 3, Killzone and I think you can get Suikoden off the PSN.

Ordered Mercs 2 and Mortal Kombat vs DC yesterday should be good.

So for the second time now, my blue ray drive has bit the dust. At least I managed to find my receipt, so no fee for me. Box came in 2 days, sending it back tomorrow so hopefully it'll only take 2 days to arrive back like the last time.

Feel free to give us your opinions on MKvDC, I love a good beat uhm up, I love the old MK and I've recently got more love for DC, so I'm heavily contemplating this.

[Cactus Drags]

It's rubbish. I've never managed to do a fatality because you have to be in ridiculously specific positions to trigger them (like, pixel-perfect spots), it's been toned down for a 15/Teen rating, which compeltely goes against the MK way, and it's just not fun to play. I guess the gameplay's jsut dated now, or maybe it wasn't that good anyway and the violence overshadowed it. Looks pretty though.
