The Old Sony Megathread

[Quom]

$170 Aussie I think. You would have to chase up the conversion yourself. Which I thought was a fucking rip for a USB stick no mod DIY mod. But apparently the USB stick needs it's own CPU built into the stick.

[Herr Matzat]

I think it´s no real jailbreak. They just cloned the developers USB Dongel or something... if you are online sony will notice and it´s not unlikely that your system will get banned from PSN sooner than later. The stick itself is said to be updatebell.

[cmb211087]

Yeah its a clone of a leaked developer dongel which makes a retail ps3 believe it is a debug machine and lets you play unsigned code. Now its out in the open it is only a matter of time before a much cheaper version is released. Sony cant do much about it to be honest.

[Herr Matzat]

from what i understood it took them four years to get it of the original dongel, i bet they got protection on their dongel aswell, s it´s not going to end up on every standart USB stick. Will be intersting to see what happens.

So anyone with experience with A Crack in Time? My damn game keeps on freezing when it tries to load up the third Great Clock level.

I have finally purchased Heavy Rain. But with the fact that my girlfriend wants to play with me AND the fact I have work over the weekend, I'm sitting here staring at the disk. :|

IN OTHER NEWS. Anyone pick up Mafia II? Any good? I've heard it lacks side missions.

[Benji]

If she wants to play with you, why not have her play two characters chapters and you play two?

[TKz]

She's at Reading at the moment. I'm not THAT annoyed though, as I didn't really enjoy the demo all that much. I've heard great things about it, but I'm still not totally sold. I also hate starting games when I know I've got work over the next two days and won't be able to play them.

[Benji]

Sod her then. Play it. Every first play of the game is meant to be your own. Stop being a pussy.

Real men would skip work. Faggot.

Oh, if only...

[Clawson]

Mafia II is pretty good. It's definitely linear and NOT open world by our usual standards. However, it's still a lot of fun and the free DLC with the PS3 system is more of an arcade shooter which is pretty cool.

That is a fucking steal. Considering the amount of time I've put into Resident Evil 5 and yet how fun it still is I'd suggest it at full price anyway, but that's ridiculous.

[Baddar]

I've been playing Kane & Lynch 2 today. I'm not sure if I like the amateur camera style just yet. It's growing on me.

My nephew and I are doing the story in co-op mode. I've jumped into 'extreme' difficulty already, because I'm hard.

Well, that and they offer a gold trophy for finishing it on extreme. ¬_¬

Yes, i am guessing someone screwed up, let´s see if the orders get cancelt or if they actualy send it out.

[New Damage]

Kane & Lynch 2 is only £17/18 on both Xbox and PS3 on Play.com for some reason. Is it that poor (played demo, was meh) or is it a super-kind deal because of Bank Holiday?

[Cactus Drags]

I don't know what's gone on, Game and Gamestation both had it as a bank holiday offer at £25. I've heard of us doing sales on recent releases before, but a week-old one, and just for a weekend rather than the usual "steal of the week" type of thing? Weird.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

The chavs are gonna buy the game anyway (they did with the first one) so it's to encourage them to buy it in THEIR stores...and to overlook the fact that the first one wasn't that good.
