…and a happy new year. Thank you so much to all our readers and contributors over the past year for keeping Three Speech the lively space that it is. Looking forward to 2008 with more of the same. Have great holidays, people.
Now feel free to chat away…
TS x.

To the nearest second, how long did that swanky bit of photoshopping take?

Comment by Rogue Muffin — Dec 22, 2007 @ 12:41 pm
Merry Christmas Three Speech staff and fellow Three Speech readers as well. Sorry I missed the Warhawk tournament - my wife was in labour! I have a young son now so I don’t have as much free time now as I did before. Somehow I found the time to finish uncharted however
Three Speech - over the year you’ve taken a lot of stick from a lot of people venting their frustrations over the lack of updates to the European store and delays to some of the games. Well done for sticking with us though. I think the moaners don’t really have much to complain about anymore since there are a lot of great games out and the store is in pretty good shape as well.
On a separate note, I hope that there will be another 3Rooms event sometime next year as I very much enjoyed the last one.
Merry Christmas,
Richard

Yep yep Merry Xmas all, thx ThreeSpeech and all fellow PS3′ers. My neighbours are getting a Wii, we’ve got incoming DS games, as for me - I shun them all for my lovely PS3
Comment by Mr Jimmy — Dec 24, 2007 @ 9:19 am
Merry Christmas everyone!
@JohnSketch - as others have said, thanks for making me laugh sometimes!
@ThreeSpeech - thanks for putting up with me at your Warhawk meeting. Wonder how many I annoyed by constantly asking what the controls were, before learning of your LAN issues! If those above can “dibs” a place at the next meet, I’m going one better… I *bagsie* a place! (Hah, beat that JS and Tom)
Now I just have to wait for tomorrow, when I can open that lovely copy of Unreal Tournament 3 that’s sat under the tree calling to me (naturally, I had to test it isn’t region locked… and oh boy, it rocks!)…
Have fun, and don’t get too rat-arsed (it’s dangerous to drink and fly a warhawk!)
Comment by MuggleMind — Dec 24, 2007 @ 10:36 am
HAPPY DRINKING SEASON EVERYONE!
Oh and happy Christmas too. I’m off work till Friday the 4th, so will be playing lots. Well, as long as the girlfriend let’s me. Woo Hoo! I’ll grow up one day.
So, Christmas day, when you’re bored with your socks, knickers, terry’s chocolate orange, and stuffed to bursting with too much indulgence, I suggest you get yourself on Warhawk for a little play. LordOfRuin will be waiting to wish you a merry death by swarm missile. Yay! Actually, I wouldn’t mind messing about with one of those races we’ve been seeing. How fun they look.
Wishing I had the Unreal the MuggleMind has. I think you’ll find you’ve been naughty, and Santa has made an error. He’ll hopefully be correcting that this eve, and it’ll maybe be residing under my tree tomorrow. Please Santa, I’ve been a little bit good.
@ThreeSpeech, I especially would like to wish you all a very merry time. This site has informed and entertained continuously from the off. It’s brought together a comfortable crowd, and it’s all good.
To all. Remember that you can only eat as much as you can comfortably poop!
Let’s get lashed! Yay!

HAV A goodn lads. I’ll b on ps3 all christmas if any1 want a game of cod4 or warhawk?
Comment by E-ROLE — Dec 24, 2007 @ 2:19 pm
I wish all UK/Euro gamers Merry Christmas & Happy New Year - that includes Microsoft and Nintendo, not just Sony gamers.
I hope Sony have New Year Resolutions that they will actually stick by for 2008, as they seemed to have broken every single one of their 2007 ones.
I’m having a PlayStation2 Night between Xmas and New Year with my friends, so I will be enjoying some Fantastic Festive Fun!
But most important of all, let us not forget the TRUE meaning of Christmas. Let us also give generously to those who cannot enjoy what all of us take for granted.
Merry Christmas & Happy 2008.
Zed Zee.

We here in the US have also enjoyed TS this year. Thank you TS. I hope you all had a joyous holiday and I wish you all a Happy New Year.
Comment by Gokker — Dec 26, 2007 @ 6:59 pm
Yeah sure Merry Christmas you Moderators should all be fired from SCEA from banning me for posting this. Christmas Is Not Only About Gifts and Presents Its About the Birth Of Jesus Christ!..Atheists.Peace!..
Comment by Chris — Dec 26, 2007 @ 11:11 pm
@47
These pages aren’t aimed towards debating any persons religious beliefs, please leave that to yourself.
Simple Merry Christmas would have sufficed!
Have a good new year!
Comment by JohnSketch — Dec 27, 2007 @ 10:59 pm
Happy (belated) Christmas all…
Spare a thought - I’m currently at work. The only thing that could possibly be worse than this would be if I was actually DOING any work. (Or playing Lair.)
Love, peace, and grease.

Comment by rooee — Dec 28, 2007 @ 10:07 am
Yes I hope everyone had a good Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all when it comes.
Comment by Ton Capone — Dec 29, 2007 @ 12:33 pm
@ JohnSketch:
It’s not about suppressing religious beliefs either, or disrespecting them…Sony, of all corporations, should know all about that, ie. Resistance.
If an Xmas greeting has the name “Jesus Christ” in it, it’s not hurting anyone is it? Why are those who don’t believe so afraid?
I said the same thing in my greeting but didn’t feel the need to be as direct about it. But that doesn’t mean others cannot. That wouldn’t be fair.
Anyway, don’t want to spark anything further here…Just came on to see if there was any new news and wish you ALL a Happy 2008. God Bless.
Zed Zee.
Over & Out.
Comment by Zed Zee — Dec 31, 2007 @ 9:47 am
For those ruining this “good cheer” thread, have a free piece of education before the year is out… Go read this page (can’t be bothered working out how to add a html link properly!): http://de.essortment.com/christmaspagan_rece.htm - now, can we just stick to the good wishes, and hoping 2008 is better than 2007? (*looks at UT3, Uncharted, and Warzone beside my PS3 - 2008 better be bloody good then!*)… Happy New Year, everyone!
Comment by MuggleMind — Dec 31, 2007 @ 10:43 am
Yay at html working so easily… and meant *Warhawk, not “Warzone” - too much New Year Spirit already!
Comment by MuggleMind — Dec 31, 2007 @ 10:46 am
OK, xmas is now over, can we get back to Sony bashing and moaning about stupid stuff in the firmware and how crap the store update was
i note Japan got a store update last week. had fun downloading some psp demos on my ps3 and having them load straight into my psp.
note to self:- stop downloading things from japan just cos they have cats in the icon
*gets back to ploughmans lunch*
Comment by mobiletone — Dec 31, 2007 @ 12:18 pm
I like Kitties….!!!!
Comment by JohnSketch — Dec 31, 2007 @ 12:48 pm
According to the dates on the store, we also had an update on the 27th - two items, though I can’t remember now what they were… And I like kitties too, though they are a bugger to reload into a warhawk tank barrel!
Comment by MuggleMind — Dec 31, 2007 @ 5:56 pm
Wooah, first comment of ThreeSpeech in ‘08. I’m sure the PS3 will take this year by storm XD

Comment by Savage — Jan 2, 2008 @ 9:49 pm
Just to make everybody’s new year even better, just seen this on sky news: http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,91221-1298913,00.html - maybe the PSN isn’t great, but I don’t remember any problems using it during the Christmas period!
Comment by MuggleMind — Jan 2, 2008 @ 11:32 pm
@68,
Microsoft not replying to customer concerns, seems very familliar. I remember when I got that ring of death thing on a second hand 360, it was outside their initial repair range of a year and they were arogant as hell, ignoring calls, hanging up etc. Theres a lesson there kids, never buy second hand electricals. Then they wanted 90 quid to fix a well known design fault in their system.
It was then that I decided to come over to PS3 and apart from the slow start have not looked back yet. Does anyone here own Wipeout Pulse, any good?
