Really bored at work today, so guess what I bought down town this lunchtime

(make sure you're sitting down).......

 

A 40GB barbie doll?

 

Something like that

 

You M/Focus boys got nothing better to do?

You should all be up to you're necks with project Meld!

Shaun

 

Nah, I'm working on something far more top secret than that. Was working till just after 9pm last night, so I think I'm entitled to a lunchbreak

 

A George Foreman grill?

 

Yep..

40Gb PS3 with 4 games and component video lead all for around £390. Quite please with that deal

I really must stop buying stuff when I'm bored though. Already bought a macro lens for my camera this week. Think I may have to have a couple of cooldown months now

 

You were lucky to find 4 games

 

I've resisted the urge thus far. I have a snowboarding holiday to pay for this month, so it will have to wait. Must be white for me though

 

Disposable income, nice! i've forgotten what that is after stumbling onto this forum.

 

I'm going skiing in a couple of weeks as well. Can't wait (luckily it's already paid for).

 

Two weeks until you break it.

 

That long?

 

Headline News Christmas 2008...
"Iain Young breaks record for PS3 replacements over 12 month period - turns out he'd been installing them in his sauna all along"

Seriously though, which games did you go for ?

 

LOL

I went for Motorstorm, Resistance, Uncharted, and Ratchet & Clank. I'm only going to get stuff for it that you can't get for the 360...

 

Its wasted on games .. Get yourself some Blu Ray films

Seriously though if a game comes out for both machines which one you going to buy ??

 

360 version most likely. I only bought the PS3 cause I was bored (and fancied playing uncharted)

 

BOOOOOO BOOOOOOO

 

Finally succumbed then
You'll enjoy Uncharted (don't bother playing on anything other than hard), after completing COD4 I started playing Resistance (free with the machine) and wasn't too keen on the way it handled so left it, too busy messing with the free demos from the PS3 shop, nothing like a bit of on line Burnout for the Take Down by the beach. Enjoy your new toy

Just Bob269 to convert now

 

and me after my 360 suffered the dreaded RLOD

Had a touch of luck this week. Paid £14-00 tax and got a £350 tax rebate They should have just made it payable to Sony

 

somebody please pinch me!

welcome to the world of quiet reliable consoles Iain!

 

LOL spent the evening guiding ducks around a bath

Online PS3 ID is Gutgouger

 

LOL Iain ... you said online and PS3 on the same line

 

Was that the demo of Super Rub-a-Dub? Been dithering on buying that one. My PSN recommendations are Super Stardust HD (if you like Geometry Wars or the original off the Amiga) and Pixel Junk Monsters (get the demo off the Japanese store, the full game is very hard).

 

I know. The online stuff does seem a little naff to be honest

Yep, I'm tempted by that one. Just off to download the other demos now.

Has anyone got this PSP->PS3 remote play thing working? All I seem to be able to make it do is timeout while trying to connect...

 

My flatmate has it working over the internet and via a direct connection between the two. Its quite cool as you can watch vids/listen to music that is stored on the HDD, the quality isn't as good when you are using an internet connection but still very watchable (you can see the compression artifacts). Some games have Remote Play compatibilty, i need to pair the PSP with my PS3 so I can play Pixel Junk Monsters remotely.

 

Got it working now (for photos etc), but I've not found a single game that works with it yet...

 

Thats one down and two still to go

Who will crack first?

The fine upstanding member with a Gamerscore higher than i can count and a tendancy to carry on in his misguided quest to keep the launch day machine in the fridge in a fruitless attempt to stave of his machine's inevitable RROD failure

My money is on Bob as we Scottish are stubborn ***** esp the nutters from Dunfermline.

Decided to keep both myself for the moment, anymore failures and its kapuut for the 360, and follow Iains philosphy of buying the games for appropraitte machine. Multi format release titles with a decent online aspect will be covered by the 360. Games that will be mainly single player i will buy for the PS3 and enjoy marathon sessions with piece of mind that it aint gonna die for

 

Maybe in 2009 when God of War gets a release, however the next nextgen xbox should be out by then

 

Twice as powerful and half as reliable?
