That was the first year on PS3 and the second year on 360. That kind of stuff is understandable early in the cycle.
it seems to still happen though at least in minor detail...did last years xbox360 version of ncaa glitch out in certain stadiums on the 5 yard line if you were on offense? etc...also Iou says the games are smoother on xbox overall.
I can personally attest to the fact that, because on the PS3 you have to load pretty much everything from the disc instead of being able to rip the entire disc onto the HD, games on the PS3 are slower because of load times, frame skips, etc because it has to constantly load the information from the disc and then funnel it to the HD and then to the processor than to the video card whereas, with the 360 and you ripping the entire game from the disc to the HD so that it hits the disc MUCH less frequently, it subsequently makes the games run smoother when you hit the invisible wall where it needs to load more information into memory.
FWIW, on my 2nd trip to EA this year (April), I was the only one playing a ps3 version of 12 (no ps3 version was available on my other trips). Several (probably 4 or 5) of the other CD guys commented how much crisper and more vibrant the ps3 version looked. Now, I understand there could be 101 reasons for this, but I mention it just to point out that the ps3 version of NCAA is definitely on par with the 360. Both versions look fantastic.Quote:

I will agree with mors that the ability to install the entire game to HDD makes a very big difference between 360 and PS3 versions, and our experience playing them. I really wish Sony would patch in the ability to install games to the HDD. I realize there's a whole piracy issue there, but it would really cut down on the wear and tear of our discs.
I've always thought the NCAA versions looked the same, but so far, the 360 version has been much smoother to play. Of course, I find that to be the case with most 360/PS3 games. It's not something to ruin the particular version, though.
Wouldn't that put more strain on the HDD itself though? And thus creating more heat?Quote:

By Friday probably means Friday afternoon :D but I hope it's sooner.
and SSD into the PS3? I would only do that if they allowed us to save games to the hard drive...I do love my SSD for the OS and games I play on my PC thoughQuote:

Yeah I have a 320 GB SATA in my PS3, I'm thinking of upgrading to a bigger hard drive down the road.
The main reason that i didn't since cutting back on my hobby costs. Although I've only used about a quarter of my 60 GB hard drive now..if that.Quote:

On a side note how in the world do you fill a terabyte lol?
Good question LOL but I'd never have to upgrade it again :D I might just got 640GB if I ever come close to filling the 320GB...I get a lot of PSN games.Quote:

Currently, according to my stats, I have 26,644 songs sitting in my 465 GB drive. As well, I currently have 30 different PC games installed on the 2 TB drive.
I knew you could, what I am saying is that what is the point if you can't save your whole game disc to the HDD (SSD)? Waste of money without that feature.Quote:

I mean putting a game like ncaa 12 on your hDD IOU
I know what you mean and I totally agree that you should be able to. I don't see one good reason why they wont implement it, but I sincerely doubt they ever do.
Hard drive stress is primarily a problem because of the mechanics involved. But games don't use enough that I think that would be much of a concern. Heat's not usually a problem with hard drive access. Graphics cards and processors are the main heat sources in a machine.Quote:

DC Universe Online would put me over the limit again, probably.Quote:

A developer accidentally let slip that their game is releasing on the store June 3, so I guess the people who said Friday afternoon as a joke are going to get it right. :D
Sony.net just released a statement(via a .pdf file - WTF?) that basically said most of the world will get the full restoration of PSN on June 2, which I guess is technically today. You mean I can download all the shit I've already paid for and couldn't use for the past month? AWESOME.
...and it's back...and UPDATED!
I miss my PS3. I have a pretty good blu ray movie collection going.
I'm able to get into the store, but get Error Code 80023103 on everything I try to download. :fp:
Just keep trying. It may take 4 or 5 tries but eventually it'll start downloading.
OMG! :bp:
