The Old Sony Megathread

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

It looks REALLY beautiful on a good telly though.

[Cactus Drags]

I have it on the PSP and I love it, never considered it for the PS3 though, I might well look into that.

Also, is there any news on when this bloody African photojournalist game thing comes out over here?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Afrika got a North American release in October of last year, so you could import it.

Man ModNation Racers has been a blast through the first couple of races. Until the AI becomes superman on the last corner. Stupid cunts.

Already downloaded some lovely creations though.

Did you download the ultimate drift track haha thats a blast!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Or you can get Afrika from Japan for less than £15 cos it's into the bestsellers budget line already. All in Japanese though

Heartline -

If you're getting a Slim PS3, I'm 99% sure they do NOT come with an HDMI cable, but do not throw down $40 on overpriced Monster Cable shit when you can get one on Amazon for $0.99.

The bundle as a whole sounds pretty decent if you can take off the HDMI cable, and from the first list, you definitely should get LittleBigPlanet.

Thanks Zero and others =D

I'll knock the cable off. It was optional. Should I replace it with the Sony headset or just leave that alone for right now? Or go for a cheaper headset?

[TKz]

Pretty much any Bluetooth Headset will work, might as well just get a cheap one elsewhere.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yeah, you can get them on the cheap from places like Dollar General and shit.

I could've swore that Blur was 360 only. This changes things. Shame there's no PS3 demo.

[New Damage]

Ummm, what the fuck? This just happened whilst having a go on Mirror's Edge. :/

[TKz]

Incredible. It's like the console can sense when you're playing a bad game!

You can't blame it for trying to spare you the boredom.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Turned off in the middle of a save, maybe?

[New Damage]

I happened to like Mirror's Edge, even if it was incredibly frustrating and short. Enough to platinum it anyway.

I was doing a speed-run (no internet connectivity) and was about to jump through some glass then it happened. It's still on the screen now, flickering.

EDIT: Well, I pressed OK and it came up with "Please wait..." and shut down. Restarted it, loaded up Mirror's Edge and tried the same speed-run (although I had internet connectivity this time) and it was fine.

TKz obviously has shit taste because Mirror's Edge ruled.

Jog on fella, Mirror's Edge is brilliant.

[Liam]

Mirror's Edge is blah. Not horrendous, but seriously not that good either.

It's different, which definitely isn't the same as being good.

[Benji]

Mirror's Edge is defined in an age old cliche "easy to learn, difficult to master", it's somewhat fun but it's incredibly frustrating when you see yourself able to hit something but the games collision detection tells you that you missed. Early on there's a pole you have to jump to, I tried about twenty times before getting it... but as far as I could see the frame was no different between my many deaths and my single success. The game should have a sequel, but it should have much more refined and helpful collision detection so it can be as flowing as it was originally advertised as being.

[King Ellis]

I got a brand new copy of Mirror's Edge for £2.99 but it's currently in my backlog.

[Cactus Drags]

Mirror's Edge is wonderful and one day I will finish it.
