Playstation 3 Discussion

So here's some interesting news. Sony brought PSN back up in North America, Australia, and Europe, but so far not Japan. Why? Japan's making them guarantee its security first.

Very interesting..

To me, LBP is impressive in what it can do, but as a game, it didn't hold much for me. After playing the in-game "storyline", I didn't download very many created levels and didn't have enough patience to create my own level. I haven't played this Wipeout but I remember enjoying Wipeout on the original PS.

Thanks guys, this is almost exactly what I was thinking G. I liked Wipeout on PS & LBP doesn't seem like something I'd play much.

Only fun I had on LBP was with two of my friends, we would get drunk and play Ninja Warrior levels online. It was tons and tons of fun, but other than the Ninja warrior levels we didn't find much that was fun. Thankfully we just rented it.

Wipeout is a racing game right? I remember it from the Playstation 1 days.

30 days to decide is pretty long/ good

Yes. I got it as part of Plus and absolutely hated it.

So.. I have none of these games which 2 should I pick up? I'm leaning towards Dead Nation and infamous

Those are the best two, IMO.

am I missing a detail here ? a couple questions-

now that online is back up for psn- each time i've turned on my game, I have had to sign into psn instead of it just still being connected. Is there a setting to automatically sign in that i'm missing ?


also, since I got a new ps3- this new one has no switch in the back to completely turn off or one. In the manual for the new one it says to unplug if not using the game for a long period. how long a period ? do you guys leave yours plugged in so you see the red light ,when not using it ? or do you unplug game when youre done using it for the night and plug it in the next day ? i've been unplugging mine


would I somehow harm mine by plugging and unplugging as I have been ? that might be a reeaaly dumb question, but who knows ? hah

[I OU a Beatn]

I just leave the red light on. I've never unplugged it.

[DariusLock]

Leave mine plugged in.

Leave mine plugged in.

how long have you owned your ps3's?

and about my question of not staying signed in to psn when i start up again- is that normal now or is there a setting I cant find ?

If you go to your account management on your PS3 and push you can turn on auto login.

Current one - about 3 months.

This one a year or so now. My last one didn't break, my home was broken into and all the electronics (TV, Camera, PS3, etc) were taken except my XBOX 360 Elite was left plugged into the wall lol. Sold my elite a few days later and went and got a Samsung 52" Plasma PS3/Blu-Ray Movie Bundle deal from Best Buy where the PS3 was pretty much free.

I've had tremendous luck with consoles, none of mine have ever broken except when my nephew put pennies in the drive slot of my original Phat PS3.

[skipwondah33]

I do as well. I also have mine running on a 600W/1000VA UPS. In the past I had a few times where my power just shut off while I was playing for a while. As you know this isn't good for the PS3 to be shutdown that way.

Also after I finish playing for an extended period of time or in general I will exit of a particular game I'm playing, then move over to the friends list or any other menu on the XMB then let the system run for about 10 minutes until the fans quiet down. Shutting it off immediately after you finish playing I wouldn't imagine would be too wise because the system is at its hottest stage while gaming.

I also use compressed air to blow dust out every 2 weeks and while its not in use I cover it with a hand towel. Yeah I know I'm a bit extreme

[ram29jackson]

i use hand towel...
