I'll probably actually try looking this up tomorrow, but what games run in 1080? I assumed they all would but obviously that was silly.
probably can't actually buy a game for a couple weeks, some other bills and only a part time job to speak of, BUT I'll pretty definitely be starting with Uncharted. MLB the show was nice but I'm not sure I'll enjoy a sports game enough to actually buy.
played the pixeljunk demo today and that game is awesome. I find it funny that my favoite thing about the new systems, all of them, are the small gems I can download. perfect for my playstyle.
This seems like a good a place as any to ask. What kind of cables would I need to hook a PS3 into a Computer LCD Monitor?

also "as good a place as any"... what the fuck is up with trying to use my credit card on psnetwork? it doesn't accept it, and then it says it can't update my information (even when I switched to using a different card).
it did manage to charge me $1 for each attempt.
what the FUCK? I want to play pixelmonsters first of all, second this is a very strange system they have in place... and I'd really like to get around it.

I actually just got my cable for this today. Your LCD monitor should have a DVI port(check.) If so, you'll need a HDMI to DVI cable, which you can get from monoprice.com for like 5 bucks. DO NOT go to best buy, they will try to charge you like $70.
My 22" widescreen isn't as good as the 37" hdtv I had before it got stolen, but it's a lot better than a standard def display.

I'm pretty sure those $1 charges aren't REAL charges, they are just making sure your card is real, and those charges will be refunded. It sounds like they put your account on hold because they think you are using a stolen card or something. Should go away on its own after a few days, but it's still pretty unacceptable.
I got it all sorted out. Thanks. I picked up a PS3 today with Ratchet and Clank and Ninja Gaiden: Sigma with plans to get other games soon. (80 Gig PS3 that is).
Yeah, if those $1 charges *don't* get refunded, call your bank. That's not cool. It's also weird that it didn't work, yet you still saw the charge. If they didn't alert you to any fee, then you shouldn't have to pay.
got my PS3 and new TV today, haven't actually played anything. Did watch A Scanner Darkly on Blu Ray, and was impressed by both the PS3 and the TV; the controller is surprisingly not bad as a remote.
I'm kinda tired of burnout games. Does Paradise have much else to offer other being a burnout game?
It's quite a bit different than the other Burnout 3-type games. It was a necessary step for the series, taking it to more of a free-roaming world feel. Feels fresh compared to the last one. I think you'll find a demo, too. Also R&C is awesome. Actually, anything by Insomniac is a must-buy in my opinion, and there aren't many development houses I say that of.

ah, thanks for that news. I'm still bummed it didn't work, but those charges while not wallet breaking, were just icing on the cake for how pissed I was.
feel much better now, besides the fact that I (according to other people's information) have to wait 48 hours to try again. grrrrr.
I am actually browsing this on my ps3 right now... seems to be working correctly, and the USB keyboard works fine, even if it's kind of pointless. Anyway when connecting the PS3 to a DVI port watch out - unlike normal HDMI, DVI does not transmit audio, so you'll have to use either a "Digital audio optical" cable connected to a sound system which supports that, or the component audio plugged into a compatible stereo system.
Uncharted is fun, but I wish Naughty Dog would go back to Crash Bandicoot. I miss good Crash Bandicoot games..
Activision Universal Blizzard (or whatever they call themselves) own the Crash Bandicoot license so it's probably never going to happen. Same thing goes with Spyro and Insomniac.
Yeah, I know.
Wtf. My debit card works now. I didn't change anything! Oh well, downloading Crash Bandicoot, before it changes it s mind. I own Crash 2, 3 and now CTR and now the first one on my Ps3. Store has its moments...
The US playstation store has so much good stuff on it.. Like Spyro, and Super Puzzle Fighter 2, and Castlevania..
Is it possible to get any of that stuff on mine?
you can try your credit card, but it might not work. i've got a canadian card so i can get whatever from it
i thnk there are ways to buy visa giftcards and the like so you can get credit on the us store, but the kind of websites that sell them seem untrustworthy
So I just bought a few pre-owned Ps1 games from my local EB Games. Spyro 2, 3 and Tomb Raider.
How bad does a disk have to be scratched before a Ps3 won't read it properly? These games have some pretty long scratches on them.
There is a device that will take DVDs (movies or game discs) apart and will buff out all the scratches on the plastic disc surface and put the disc back together. Some game stores have these equipped. My local Game Crazy that closed down had one and charged $8 to repair your games or movies.
Im bumping this, since I got a ps3 recently ,and i am exploiting the demos on the psstore like a champ :
COD4 - nice
Resistance: Fall of man -- VERY cool story.. I like the achievements and gameplay
Ratchet & Clank - Just a demo, but from what I have played: AWESOME
Tiger Woods 08 : I like golf games, and I am debating buying this vs waiting for 09
Lost Planet : just a demo so far, but it has potential.
Devil may cry 4 - the demo was interesting... i would rent it at least
Harry potter: meh
Timeshift : Meh.. just another FPS with a gimmick, and I liked it the first time when it was called 'max Payne'
There is also a decent tower defense game (worth $10, i dunno) and Hot shots will be a purchase from me most likely.

Correct.
I'm trying to decide on something... SEGA Superstars Tennis, Condemned 2 or Resistance: Fall of man. I only have enough cash spare for two games.

I can afford games, but @ $60 a pop.. I will only buy games that I can get value out of. Tiger woods, Call of Duty, etc all offer replayability (i assume tennis as well)
i never played condemned, but Resistance is a *really* awesome story, and the game play is pretty good. I don't know if it will offer anything besides trying to get all the achievements after its beaten though... but there is a multiplayer component.
Seriously : look at blockbuster for rentals, or better yet, download the free demos of the games online and decide for yourself. Timeshift and Armored core *looked* cool, but the actual gameplay showed that to be false.
Cod4 - I hate shooters but I play the hell out of this
R:FoM - Great story, good single player, well worth it
Ratchet and Clank - Damn close to perfection, it literally has just about everything a video game should
MLB 08 the show - if you like baseball at all, this is addicting
Assassins Creed - Kill people and get away with it!
DMC4 - Yes, its easy, but its fun and very purty
I'm playing Viking: Battle for Asgard right now so I'll let you know if that eneds to be added when I'm done.

Hey, whoa now! There's a CoD4 demo on PSN? Why don't I remember seeing a CoD4 PS3 demo?
maybe there isn't .. i actually rented COD4, and I have a copy coming with my dual shock controller on april 15th..
not EVERY game has a demo, but the ones that do are great to try out. Plus the not often visited section contains some gems..
The duck tub is *really* cool.. you hold the ps3 controller like you are holding a tub full of water.. and use the controller motion to move the water around in the tub... to move your duck around and save the ducklings. VERY cool, and the water is modeled really well.
The tower defense one is neat too... but i dunno if its worth $10 for the 'full' version. I am also having fun with the soduku game... and playing online causes me to doubt my manhood.
Ah, ok. Yea, there is no CoD4 demo. Here I was getting all excited for nothin'. Me and console FPS games don't get along to well but I've been dying to at least try CoD4. It's so enticing.
Only game I have on the PS3 is Warhawk. I'm to dirt poor to buy games. Warhawk is fun but I sure do suck at it. If anyone likes action games like UT I'd definitely recommend it. It looks like it's getting alot of support from Incog which is always nice.

Has anyone tried Wipeout 3? It hangs on me (40gb model) seconds after starting the race.
