The Old Sony Megathread

[Baddar]

I'm going to throw a shoutout for Burnout: Paradise City as a recommendation - I hate driving games but I've really enjoyed it so far - it shows off what the PS3 can do graphically and is a pretty entertaining game to boot. Should be pretty cheap too (over in the UK it seems to be cropping up in quite a few pre-owned deals).

1) Are you online?

2) Do you have a headset?

If the answer to those questions is yes, let me know your PSN address and we'll play some time. Burnout is great.

I hated Burnout Paradise, which I had on 360, but I assume it's the same on PS3. That is one game that didn't need free roam, I want to cause carnage, not pause every 20 seconds to work out a new route.

Oh and I finally cleared Saints Row, so anybody up for some co-op shenanigans?

Sadly no headset

According to my PS3, update 2.76 is now out, but's not up on Playstation's website yet. So it's seemingly only downloadable via the PS3 at this moment. Which is a shame, because I want to update now, and my preferred method is by USB.

[Baddar]

The info for the update is up on the site now, so I assume you can DL the update from there.

Main features in system software update version 2.76

The playback quality of some PLAYSTATION 3 software has been improved.

I can't wait to DL and install this one. >_>

Slim PS3?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I don't think it's real.

Just cos the PS2 had a "Slim" and the PS1 had a smaller version doesn't mean that PS3 will automatically go slim, PARTICULARLY so soon after launch. It was years before the PS1 and 2 smaller models were released.

I'm not buying this as a possibility.

Looks like a bad re-design of the PS2 box, although the new PSP looks very nice I think.

According to Joystiq PS3 Rag Doll Kung Fu is free now.

According to Joystiq PS3 Rag Doll Kung Fu is free now.

Only for US accounts. But if I make a US account, will I be able to play it on the same Playstation with my Canadian account?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Think so, yeah. It's actually kind of fun. I didn't expect a whole lot from it, but from the 10 minutes or so I played, I enjoyed it.

Possibly. My friend made an America account just to get the Marvel vs. Capcom demo.

Which I wasn't fond off, it was a giant clusterfuck of retina-raping colour.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Yeah get a US account and you'll be okay if it's free.

I have one (signed up as Sheryl Crow's agency address) so I'll grab that in a bit. Yay freebies.

[Clawson]

Yeah that is sweet that it does work. I was worried that I would be unable to whore out my trophies with my real profile.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Rag Doll Kung Fu is utterly utterly brilliant. Hilarious, loads of fun. Great to throw shurikens, spin around, grab your opponent, throw them into the air, punch them in the air, grab them before they land and then throw them again.

The Challenges are good too. I hope multiplayer has the fish game with each player trying to throw fish into a basket as well as fighting eachother. SO MUCH FUN.

[TCO]

So does anyone want to give me the login details of their dummy US accounts, so I don't have to go creating an email and PSN account?

Pretty please.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

It's not hard. I refuse to help a lazy person.

If you need an address just find one from a CD from an American artist.

I should probably pick the first one up, huh?

I always go with Beverly Hills, 90210 for American addresses and it works.

Man...Trivial Pursuit is a blast to play. Once my family is able to sit down and play with me I'll love it more but even the single player mode is solid fun.
