[PS3] PlayStation 3 Fan Noise. Annoyingly loud, ain't it?

Ya know what, I think I was just having more fun than usual with the demo that it just seemed to be shorter than it really was. That or the booze.

I played through it again this morning and it seemed perfectly lengthy for a demo. I REALLY want to buy the game, but I also REALLY want to actually play through the other ones first...I'm all about platformers, but I have yet to play a single Ratchet & Clank game . Fucked up, I know.

You can get them all for under $20 now. A used Ratchet & Clank goes for, I think $7.99, R&C: Going Commando for roughly $12.99, Up Your Arsenal for about $14.99, and you can find the fourth game, Deadlocked, new for $19.99 or used for probably $17.99.

A total of 8, but some of the unlockables include different shaders and such to make playing through it again more of a challenge.

So far I'm only up to level 4. It can get really hard to see your ship in this game, especially since your ship is only shown as a little glowing arrow in a maelstrom of cel-shading.

Like SouthJag mentioned, you can net all of them without putting too big of a dent in your wallet. The humor may not be for everyone, and the platforming slowly edging more towards third person shooter may put you off, but other than that it's a blast.

Looks like the 40GB units will be touching down in the US and ready for sale October 30th:

Spoiler:

Seems like the original rumour of a Spider-Man 3 Blu-Ray pack seems true given the partial listing title. Regardless of the 40GB unit, I'm hoping that within the next week or 2 I'll have my hands on a 60GB model after all the crap I've ponied up on eBay.

Ah damn, I was hoping the 40GB model would come in at like $350 to match the $340 Japanese price.

$399 for the PS3 is an excellent deal, especially if you are looking to get into HDM. Along with Spider-Man 3, you also get 5 free Blu-ray discs with the mail-in offer.

There is also a huge B1G1 going on at almost every major retailer this week.

So I've just bought the 60GB version. I got Ridge Racer, Motor Storm and Resistance. What else should I get? (Yeah, a game reviewer asking about what to buy. I get it, the irony is SCORCHING!)
I've downloaded LocoRoco Cocorecho, and it's rather soothing to watch all those things bounce around.

I'm planning to get Warhawk too.

For PSN games I love Super Stardust HD, Everyday Shooter and Tekken. Thoes games rock.

For retail games.I'd have to reccomend.
WarHawk
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
FolkLore
Virtua Fighter 5

Must rents are;
Lair
Heavenly Sword
The Darkness

Huh. So no one's brought it up yet? The 80GB PS3 system is now priced at $499, $100 cheaper.

What's this mean for the 60GB models that are still on shelves?

It means that they will probably stay on the shelves unless individual retailers decide to slash their price in order to clear them off the shelves. You know, since Sony didn't really mention anything about that.

yeah I heard that the 40gb model will be price 399$us but I didn't know that they would lower the price of the 80gb too. I just saw that in Canada, bestbuy is selling the 80gb for 499$can I don't know if it's for a limited time or the new price cut...

eh, i hear the 40gb PS3 cant play ps1/ps2 games.

Yeah that's right. Guess it makes sense in Sony's upside down world.

Like Jacky boy sais. A PS3 for $400 and a PS2 for $130 is still less the the original $600 by $70. Just you don't get the upscaling, wireless controllers, built in memory cards, or the extra 40Gbs. Hell I wouldn't give a shit if I saved $70 if I lossed all of that.

I suppose like NDP sais though. Something like 58% of people don't even know that the PS3 can play PS1/2 games. So I guess the lack of the BC feature won't really hurt them much with the mainstream.

I thought the 40GB model could still play PS1 games, and it was only the PS2 BC that was removed?
Or am I wrong?

For those aching to play GT5 Prologue, the demo is available on the Japanese PSN. Heh though it's all in Japanese. I just tried it out myself, pretty nice. There's a driver's seat view now (don't remember that being in GT4, then again I never really played it), and you can actually control acceleration and brakes using the right analog stick (heh, I seem to drive much better using it).

Wait, so its a demo of a demo, or is it the full prologue demo?

It's a demo, because it's free. Prologue itself is actually going to cost you a couple bucks when it comes out later this year. However I hear that these prologues tend to have a decent amount of content in them, making them worth while.

60 GB systems are gonna be $499, and they said they aren't going to drop the price any more than what it already is... seems silly to me.

The right stick has done accel and brake since GT3.

I've heard that if you set up a PSN account in the UK, then when Prologue is released that it will be free. That's just a rumor though.
