Well, due to snagging some mean discounts, I ordered myself a PS3 today. (Ended up being $250, which I'm splitting with one of my roommates). It should be put to good use since the apartment has a netflix account that can rent Blu-Rays, and now I'll have something for when Valkyria Chronicles rolls around in November.

I laughed when I saw Sony HDMI cables for $60. First thing I did was go to Amazon and saw a 6 foot one for less than $2, so that's taken care of, too. All that's left is to wait for it to ship.

I'm curious as to you's guy's impressions of the beta so far. I've never played the series myself, yet I know the games have an incredibly hardcore fanbase. I think the closest thing I have gotten to something like SOCOM is probably MGO...

I prefer mgo, the controls are really better for mgo I think.

Graphics are pretty normal, nothing spectacular.

They seriously need better server or change the way it handle, because waiting 20min to get into a game is really not acceptable...

The game is more tactical I think than MGO, some will like it more, others will prefer the mgo style...

I didn't play much because it just take too long to manage to get into a game... so that's pretty much all I have to say for now...

Be thankful you've managed to get into a game at all. I've tried a couple of times now with no success. Apparently a patch was due to hit last night along with some new servers, so I might give it another go. However, if it is still hard to get into then I'll be deleting the download and SOCOM will be confirmed in my mind as something I have no interest in.

I'm really glad I'm not the only one experiencing connection problems, Omagnus. Still unsuccessful here as well.

What the FUCK is with this stuff, lately. At least this is a beta, where problems are expected, but still.

I guess the SOCOM folks figured that Call of Menus 4 was really successful, so it would be a good game to model their pre-game online experience after.

Well, to be fair, MGO was no walk in the park when it was in beta. From what I remember, Warhawk was pretty bad as well - that game froze mid game everytime you booted it up.

I mean, this is precisely what betas are meant for - working out the conks so that they are ready to go come release. These server stability issues shouldn't be a reflection of what you can expect to experience when the final game hits retail.

And in USA land it's 20 funbucks, just so you all know.

Can't wait, shitting pants. It'll be nice to have a racer we can do friend matches in, eh Omagnus? Especially after that GT5P fuckup. And all the other co-op disasters on the 360.

Watch it not work for us.

Hey guys, Folding@Home was turned into Life with PlayStation.

It looks sweet, like something in 2015 in a movie from 1990. And it keeps curing cancer in the background.

By 'sweet' did you mean 'boring as hell'? It gives you the weather and some news. If the PS3's browser wasn't a piece of arse that might be semi-worthwhile, but really, I can check both things without having to wait for my PS3 to load and then to load that application. Don't get me wrong, it's free and looks pretty well presented, but I just don't really give a damn and wish Sony were spending their time on getting things I care about into the interface and XMB rather than dicking about with making a pretty, spinny globe that has weather icons on.
