I fuckin love my ps3 - just have resistance & virtua fighter at the mo & a few blu ray movies.

Verdict up to now - A++++

problem solve: on ps3 click remote play and a connection screen will come up make sure u have playstation 3 in connection list in connection sttings on psp and click on remote play on psp and it will connect

All weekend I have heard people talking about PS3 and the main thing is the price, but if you take into account a 60GB harddrive, memory card reader, wireless out the box, plug and play pads and a HD format Disc player included then to get a 360 with all that is more expensive.

Plus free GT HD once your online.

An excellent launch Sony and well worth the wait (although I wish I hadn’t had to)

First of I love my PS3 , its awesome. But there are two games from ps2 I want t play on it which Im curious about. Guitar Hero and Dance Stage, can I play these, if so where do I plug them in?

As someone who is into A/V and home cinema as well as just gaming you really get the feel that the PS3 is a quality piece of A/V equipment not just a plastic kids console. It may be £425, but as my dad always says you get what you pay for and the important thing is the PS3 “feels” like a £425 piece of equipment.

The menus are very sleek and well arranged and (not to bash the 360) feel far more classy then the “Blades”. If you have a set that is HD Ready (or SD but can accept HD signals) the first thing you want to do is set it up via Component or HDMI, the picture on my non-HD plasma (that can receive 720p and 1080i signals) is stunning. The HD trailers off the PSN look great also!

The PSNetwork is functional and surprisingly quick to download and the background downloading (with in game prompts to tell you when it’s finished) is a god send! On to the games then, even though it’s quite limited at present the PSN has some great downloadable content, and the PSN games I’ve downloaded so far all have online scoreboards as standard, you can even see what your friends have been scoring. I’ve already used about 15GB, so I think I’ll be getting myself a bigger HDD soon!

As for retail games, Motorstorm is graphically superb, and a riot to play, especially with the tilt control (takes some getting used to!), not tried it online yet but it should be fun playing against “real” people. The other title I’ve got is R:FOM, graphically great and seems to control well, not had much time with it yet but it seems challenging and the Chimera seem to have strong AI. Also, I was expecting the worst in terms of load times given what I’ve read in the past, but they seem acceptable to me. In all cases the audio quality is suburb, anyone with a half decent surround system hooked up via Optical or HDMI should be very impressed.

As for the controller, I’m liking the triggers and the Sixaxis motion has potential, sloshing the water around in Blast Factor is particularly fun, it’s light but doesn’t feel any worse then the PS2 controller (in terms of build quality). I like how you can use the PS button to quit to the main menu without needing to restart. I don’t miss rumble, with one exception, Grand Turismo don’t know why, I didn’t notice in Motorstorm or Ridge Racer, but for some reason GT seemed hollow. Not tried the Logitech wheel yet, don’t know whether the force feedback still works with that, it seems to have options for the wheel in the menu.

Final thoughts then, it’s very very quiet, but doesn’t half blow out some hot air! Although most of the machine seems cool to touch so I guess hot air is a sign of an efficient cooling system!

Don’t believe the negative hype from the M$ sponsored stories and 360 trolls, the PS3 is an excellent piece of equipment that oozes quality. I’ve only just scratched the surface in terms of it’s capabilities, I’m yet to try blu-ray, photo album, mp3 playback, PS2 b/c (75% isn’t bad you know!) and Linux! If you’re on the fence, go out and buy one, unless you’re an ardent Xbox or Nintendo fanboy you won’t be disappointed, especially if you’re looking for a device that is more capable than just a simple games machine.

Well done Sony on the PS3, it’s just a same you couldn’t handle your PR better!!!!

Another question - I’ve registered at http://www.ps3registration.com so will that mean I’ll automatically receive the free Casino Royale Blu-Ray disc? Do you get some sort of confirmation that you’ve qualified?
