    I'm not sure your average Joe wants to install a new OS on their PS3 though? A nice feature though, there is no doubt about that.

    Perhaps not the average Joe, but this is a huge thing for the tech and modding community, obviously.

    damn it, now I want a PS3 for the homebrew, but I dont see hw it would be possible to get ISO;s for it, I mean each game is like 30GB+, thats more than my monthly limitation on upload/download lol

    Was looking around the usual sites when I come across the launch date for the PS3. I then thought "oh, I bet there's quite a queue for this new grilling machine/console".

    Seems that Virgin is making itself a camp to house the many pre-ordering folk coming to pick up their machine at midnight:

    Oh. Anticlimatic? Yeah. UK:RESISTANCE also covered this - you can check out their thoughts on their front page

    Though apparently this is a good thing:

    *grabs hammer*

    *taps another nail in*

    Uh oh.

    hahaha. Brilliant.

    Ebayers aren't having a wonderful time either. Check out the UKR front page

    Went in to my local games stores today, and to be fair I thought it might have been packed with customers looking/buying PS3's but it wasn't, and those people that were actually in the shop seemed to be looking at the 360's/Wii's

    Hope its picks up the pace when they release more games or lower the price

    Just been playing on Resistance: fall of man, and it is amazingly good. Can't wait til my bro gets a HD TV ^_^.

    Graphics - 9 out of 10, The detail is immense, even the eyes move around and blink etc.

    Gameplay - 9 out of 10, Very very good gameplay, character movement going upstairs is slow though >_< like he's trying to run up a vertical hill.

    Sound - 10 out of 10, when the bullets hit different objects it makes a realistic sound to what it would sound like, you can hear the bullets fly through the air, and it just feels very realistic.

    Overall rating - 9 outa 10.

    Im a big FPS fan and I don't know I never got used to the PS controls for shooters. I always felt like I was going to break the controller lol it felt tiny in my hands. I really hope they make a duke for the 360! that would be sick. My bro has a PS3 And I played resistance, I must say its a great game. I'll probably end up buying it if Kill Zone 2 is as good as the trailer made it look.

    Just bought my PS3 yesterday. I ended up getting the 80GB version that comes with Motorstorm, can't say I'm dissapointed. I picked up the HDMI cables to go along with my 50" Samsung and everything looks amazing. I also picked up DIRT and Resistance: Fall of Man. All the games are great so far.

    I plan on picking up Ratchet & Clank, Rock Band, Smackdown, Call of Duty 4, and quite a few other games that are coming out within the next few weeks. Plus Guitar Hero III and Manhunt 2 are just a few days away (actually already have GHIII), the next 4 weeks are going to be great for gaming but denting my wallet big time.

    I figured as this is an official thread i can bump it..

    If I rip a CD onto the hard drive of a PS3, can I listen to it as a I play a game?
    Just wondering.

    Nah. Certain games I think only have that. Like I just heard it's going to be used for MLB '08: The Show which comes out in April.

    I hope more games can use the custom soundtrack feature, I would love to use it.

    I wouldn't be surprised if GTAIV would be one of those games.

    That game is either going to be THE biggest and best game we will have at the point, or a giant letdown.

    After todays release of the 4th trailer, I don't doubt that one bit. This game is going to own my life.

    what games does it not play because someone told me it only plays some PS2 games
