I did enjoy co-op with friends to fight against zombies. Do you own cod waw?

Do you love Far Cry 2? Just wonders.

I have FC2 for PC and it's okay but difficult to manage with learning curve at first place.

I did enjoy playing Far Cry 2, and beat that game, and then sold it. I don't like FC2 multiplayer game, because the maps are too huge, and too much jungles - hard for me to find the enemy since I'm deaf.

Hi there, I have a few questions - Are there mini PS3 devices come out, yet? If so, how much cost for this mini device? Thanks.

Cheers ~

Probably not happen because PS3 use PowerPC and strong graphic hardware, it would make too difficult to slimmer, unlike PS2 does and would be more heat issue when slimmer it.

Yea exactly what I was thinking. The PS3 used pretty much all of the current existing techology that we have out there today even with Blu-ray and cell progressor, which most other machines dont have those just yet.

It would indeed be difficult to give it a redesign somehow so perhas later on will find a way to make it slimmer and such in the future.

Techology evolves pretty fast these days.

Yup, CPU's nanometer (nm) need to be shrinking to fit in slim console, current is 65 nm and before was 90 nm, it need shrinking to 45 nm or less to make benefit for redesign into slim console.

In my PC, Core 2 Duo CPU is 45 nm and far more faster than PS3's CPU.

PS3's CPU is partly compare to Power Mac G5, Power Mac G5 was 5 years ago.

**Foxrac** · 12-02-2008, 07:23 PM

Also, when compare with CPU for PC and PS3, it's just like compare with orange and apple, both of them cannot be compare due different architecture.

Wow, it looks so new to me. I'm not familiar with that, but is it a mini PS3, right?

As rest of above posts - Ah, I see. All right, thanks for the answers.

No problem. Perhas in the future there will be some...for now the orginal price on the PS3 is $400, the 80GB model which is now Sony's primary focus, as there is also a limited edition of the 160GB bundle with Uncharted : Drake's Fortune included, for $500. Thou however neither of them have the ablitiy to play PS2 games.

Sony cut the backwards compatalibity out due to the costs of manufacturing so yeah, it sucks.

While I admit I am lucky I already have mine which is rare so...there is still a chance u could get the preowned console from somewhere such as Gamestop and Amazon.com.

Good luck.

**Foxrac** · 12-03-2008, 08:23 AM

I have one question about PS3, is it worth to buy PS3 to play several games, mostly exclusive to Sony?

Yep! Most definetly and you wouldnt be disappointed.

I love the exclusives such as Metal Gear Solid 4, Resistance, Resistance 2, Heavenly Sword, and others.

I am a very proud PS3 owner and I look forward to playing more as Resident Evil 5.

(Even thou it is on the xbox360, but I dont completely trust my Xbox360 due to the fear of getting the famous ring of death again but of course, with the NXE that came out not too long ago, has allowed you to install games to the hard drive so it should work the same way as the PS3, and reducing the risk of hardware failure, so let's see about that.)

Steel X · 12-04-2008, 03:07 PM

The controller keypad made by Sony is out today.

Gamestop.com - Buy PS3 Wireless Keypad - Playstation 3

Althou I have to admit that $50 seems abit too pricy just for a small keypad.

**Dismal Shadow** · 12-04-2008, 03:10 PM

Wicked update! Firmware 2.53 is out. Now I can finally watch porn on a big screen. Thank you Sony.

Nods, very well. I'll keep that mind, thanks.

With that reason, why I did ask because of it's for my brother, so I want a present for him.

Oh well...

**Dismal Shadow** · 12-04-2008, 11:28 PM

Damn, this is good news I have heard all days.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Guitar Hero 5 and Tony Hawk announced - PS3 Fanboy

Steel X · 12-05-2008, 03:18 AM

Heh knew there will be another CoD game based on the modern warfare again...finally CoD4 fanboys wont have to whine about CoD : world at war (what really annoys me is that they keep calling it CoD5, which it isnt.)

I assume that Call of Duty : world at war may possibly be the final chapter in the WW2 story since we fougth all the enemies from the japanese to the italians to the germans and got to the very last part of the story where the russians went to that captial in germany where Hitler was hiding underground and took the whole place over and thats when the war finally ended then so...it was a pretty good game but proably enough WW2 for now lol.

I liked WaW but I felt i had enough after the CoD triolgy and after CoD4, should've remained having the same type of war since but I guess Activison wanted to add more to the story on WW2 and I hope they are done with that.

They should make COD that based on Vietnam war.

They might do that one. Who knows lol. I am curious to see the new CoD game wehre they said it would be based on a futurtisic war perhas similar to the Terminator or Starship Troopers movies.

Christer · 12-07-2008, 01:49 AM

I just watch G4TV today and say that the Killzone 2 will release in Feb 27 2009.

Eh, to be honest I dont really like the orginal Kill Zone on the Playstation 2.

guess because it was overated or that I didnt find it to be much fun for me or anything.

Maybe from the fact that some ppl such as sony fanboys said that it would be a halo killer and as I played it, it turned me off right away.

I honestly hate games that try to "kill" other games as a way to make it look better and they end up ****ing it.

Such games as Haze and they said it would be better than Halo 3 and yet that one was ****ed as well.

I guess because I dont like to play games where developers and fanboys brag and say they are better than the other games and they end up looking stupid or not as fun as it looks.

Who knows...but you like Kill Zone, thats okay. I guess I usually like the orginal stuff. Such as that I like grand theft auto better than Saints Row.

I dont think anyone ever bragged or said that Resistance is a Halo killer, at least i dont think so..Of course Resistance do have some orginality to it.

Vriezen · 12-22-2008, 07:07 PM

Off the top of my head, reading posted updates but long list of ones not mentioned:

Fallout 3 trophy patch was released last week.

Starting 2009, all new games for PS3 will include trophies as per Sony's insistence. (possible rumors and speculation of trophies coming to PSP though)

Tomorrow the PSN Store will update on Tuesday due to the Christmas Holiday.

The most highly anticipated update to the store is the new MGS4 level pack for LittleBigPlanet. Includes a slew of features from additional costumes from MGS4, level tools, 3 new playable MGS4/LBP levels as well as the "paintinator" a paintball gun used to shoot everything up in the new levels in true MGS4 style.

Another thing I noticed that wasn't mentioned is the Playstation Home beta is now live for all users instead of closed as it once was. (December 12th if memory serves me correctly)

From reading this thread it seems most play FPS style games. Am I wrong?

Anyone interested in playing online or meeting up in Home my PSN username is Vriezen
