Can i use the ps2 action replay on ps3?

May be...
  • I have a ps3 and i want to use my ps2 action replay max with my ps2 games but will it work on a ps3 console and ps2 game?
  • No it will NOT work. I had an Action Replay for PS2 and when I got my PS3 60gb it didnt work.



    a cpls mths ago someone got me to test there PS2 and some games for them and they had a New Version of Action Replay for PS2 and I tried it in my PS3 and it's didnt work either(but it worked fine in the PS2)
  • No, I tried on my friends, he has the 60GB PS3 that plays ALL PS2 games and it didn't load the disk. I couldn't belive it, if your PS3 can load & play PS2 games then maybe its a possibility it might. but from my understanding if it has a blue back on the disk you can't load them.
  • If you have an original 60GB console then yes you can. I have done this myself for the PS2 game "Gran Turismo 4" and it worked perfectly. It just for some reason takes longer to read than normal PS2 discs.
  • No, because the chances of it loading a ps2 disc on your ps3 will be very slim.

    you can only give it a go tho!

    cheat

    :)
  • Don't think you can .. but saying that ..I used the ps1 action replay on the ps2 ...
  • noooooo
  • Are all ps3's backwards compatible?

    May be...
  • I assumed it was a given because my ps2 was but I someone told me it was a rare find... is this true?
  • I take it I'm going to be answering this question forever too:



    backward compatibility for the PS3 with PS2 games is as follows:



    20GB (4 USB slots, no longer in production) - yes

    60GB (4 USB slots, no longer in production) - yes

    80GB with 4 USB slots (no longer in production, bundled with MGS4 or Motor Storm) - yes

    40GB (2 USB slots, no longer in production) - NO

    80GB with 2 USB slots - NO

    160GB (2 USB slots) - NO

    any other up coming PS3's - NO



    in short: if it has 4 USB slots, yes. if it has 2 USB slots, no.



    all PS3s play PS1 games.



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation...



    the only way to play Mario games is to have a Nintendo system. that is it! there is no other way! Mario is owned by Nintendo, so you will NEVER see him on any other system! PERIOD!



    ALL PS3s play DVD and Blu-Ray. that's just common knowledge (especially on the Blu-Ray part). BUT, they will only play DVDs and Blu-Ray from your region. they, unlike the PS3 games, are region locked.
  • No, it's really a rare find. Only the very first PS3 models were able to play PS2 games.



    All PS3 consoles you find new in stores today are unable to play PS2 games. To find out if a PS3 can play PS2 games, check the model number on the retail box or the console's serial number sticker.

    If the model number starts with CECHA, -B, -C or CECHE, then you can play most PS2 games on it.



    All other model numbers are NOT able to play PS2 games.







    As for your additional details:

    Mario is a licensed property of Nintendo. You will find Mario games only on Nintendo consoles or some very old PC educational games (like Mario Teaches Typing and the likes).



    You will *never ever* officially find a Mario game on a competing console. Especially not a Sony console.





    That you were able to play Mario on an old Xbox was because the old Xbox could easily modified to play "homebrew" emulators, that simulated a Nintendo console, so illegally downloaded ROM images of (for example) Mario games could be played on such a modified console.



    Legally and officially, you will never see Mario on a Playstation console.
  • No, only the original release, 60Gig PS3's are backwards compatible. The 40gig and newer models do not have the same features as the launch 60gig models, and do not include backward compatibility.



    And no, you can't play Mario games on the playstation. Unless you hack it somehow. If you want Mario, buy a Wii. Or DS.
  • Ok, newer models can't play PS2 games anymore, check link provided for more info. ALL PS3 play DVD & Blu-Ray. You can try to play illegal games on the PS3 through disk, but I heard that you can get blocked out your system when you go online after putting in illegal disk, and that it won't load the disk anyways. You can try via emulator, I know that will work but you need to have Linux/Ubunta/Yellow Dog installed on the PS3 OS
  • The only models that play PS2 games are the ones with 4 USB ports in the front (20GB, 60GB and old Motorstorm/MGS4 80GB, not the one in stores).



    You can't play any Nintendo games on your Playstation (1, 2, Portable or 3).



    But you'll have to find them on eBay or something. But they are so expensive sometimes, i just kept my PS2 when I got a non-ps2 games playing PS3.
  • No. Unfortunately only the older versions can play ps2 games. They can all play ps1 though. The newer ones lost the backwards compatability for the ability to play blu-ray. Seems stupid to me. Hope this helps, I found out the hard way, we had the ps3 and realized it wasn't compatible with ps2.
  • no the 40gig n the 20gig r not backward compatible only the 80gb n 120gb n 60gb are

    but now adays the new ps3 s r not bacward compatible..
  • sorry mate only the 60gb.
  • nope.
  • Anyone know why my ps3's wlan access indicator keeps coming on?

    May be...
  • I hooked my psp up to it ,but it is not hooked up to the internet.
  • did you connect the PSP wirelessly?



    Just because the light flashes doesnt mean it's actively connected to anything.



    Mine flash all the time even when my PS3 is turned off. But I have Remote Play enable and remote play bootup active.



    If it starts flashing rapidly that will indicate a connection but if it just blinks every now and then that just means it's active and ready for whenever you active you PSP connection to it , there is no way to totally disable/or turnoff the Wireless on a PS3
  • Cause the PSP is using the PS3's built in wireless.
  • Playstation 3 Download? EASY 10 Pionts!?

    May be...
  • I've downloaded game updates before and play online all the time. now every time i try to download the game update it signs me out of the playstation network. anyone have a clue why? or know how to fix it? Thank you if you can help!
  • Im not really sure, i heard if you disable media servers then try, its never happened to me.
  • It has to sign you out for certain updates!

    It signs you out so you don't recieve messages or get disturbed while the update is taking place.

    It can also concentrate more on downloading the update ;)



    Nothing to worry about.

    If you are able to sign in again with no problems, its no biggie.
  • i had the same problem but i got a new router and that solved the problem but if you have no time or cash try this , is there a computer using the same network if there is turn it off and take the Internet cable out off it plus it ur online wired or wireless
  • Whats a good online game for the PS2?

    May be...
  • But that's under 10 dollars
  • Any war or shooter game like Call of Duty, or something.
  • i have heard that the online feature for the ps2 has been permanently shut down because of lack of users. id go for killzone for the bots, theyre pretty fun
  • There's actually no good games under $10. Why don't you vist a Gamestop store and see. It's easy to guess a good game but nobody would know the price.
  • Yeah, about that.......

    I don't think anyone really plays PS2 online. I think you're going to have to find a game with bots..



    Try out Killzone 1 or Timesplitters 3.
  • RACING GAMES.
  • Old Nhl games!!!
  • Just to tell you NOBODY plays online on PS2
  • On my ps3 y dont it tell me if somebody message me or gets online?

    May be...
  • when i'm playing ps3 should something pop up thats saying somebody online or i got a message how do i swith that
  • Go to Settings> System Settings> Notification Messages> Display.
  • Go to Settings> System Settings> Notification Messages> Display.

    May be...
  • i have a slim psp and my friend has a fat one.so i thought i could take his extra psp battery from him,but is it possible to mod a slim psp using a fat psp battery?
  • Yes it is possible as the fat battery still fits into the slim PSP although it does stick out at the back :)

  • Can a bluetooth (mobile phone) headset, work on a PS3?

    May be...
  • Our old one ps3 headset is broke and every shop I have gone to is sold out of PS3 headsets, I have tried online as well and it is old out as well. Someone told me you can use any bluetooth (mobile phone) as a ps3 headset. Is this true?.





    Thank you for your replies.
  • Yes ANY bluetooth headset will pair and work with the PS3.
  • yes!!
  • Help with changing my ps3 hard drive?

    May be...
  • I want to change my 80gb ps3 hard drive for a new 500gb hard drive. Can i get any 2.5 inch 5400 RPM hard drive like these i've looked at on amazon.com

    http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-50... http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-ST9500325A...

    or does it have to be a real specific hard drive? my friends say that the seagate momentus works really well but i'm not to sure, i want to get more opinions before i make my decision.
  • as long as you get 2.5" SATA with no more than 5400rpm then you should be fine. The original hard drive that comes with the PS3 is a Seagate so if you want a Seagate than go for it. I upgraded mine with a drive form Pine so really any should do.
  • Any hard drive will work as long as it is 2.5" SATA (laptop) hard drive. Brand and speed don't matter. However higher speeds do not result in quicker launch speed of games, etc.
  • All you need is a 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM hard drive. I think you can use a 7200 RPM hard drive, but you do risk overheating.
  • Well its has to be 2.5 in 5400 RPM, if RPM is higher, it will damage system
  • Anyone as long as it is SATA. Get anything over 5400rpm and you could fry your PS3.
  • How do you complete the wwe superstar challenges and the wwe legend challengs in smackdown vs raw 2006 for PS2?

    May be...
  • I dont know
  • Should I buy COD 4 or COD WAW? PS3?

    May be...
  • easy question... cod5 is ww2, they have grenades that stick and molotovs and frags..tanks, artillery,radar dogs and you can be revived in last stand. (perk in where you get shot down, you lay, unmovable but can fire a pistol)

    cod4 is more modern, has radar, air strike, helicopter, different perks and cant be revived in last stand.



    also cod5 has nazi zomibes, omfg...

    depends on wat year of warfare you like really
  • CoD 4 was a LOT better in my opinion. I couldn't even get through WaW - it was too frustrating trying to use those raggedy weapons with their outdated targeting sites. The "ring sites" on the rifles in the Medal of Honor (the older ones - not 'Airborne') games used to be dead-on - these are really fuzzy as to where you're actually aiming, and without a scope, it's quite hard to get anything done on WaW - at least to me. I absolutely loved CoD 4, though!
  • COD4 fo sho its the best of the best :))
  • cod4 i have both and its a lot more fun and its way cheaper
  • COD WAW
  • COD 4
  • COD 4$?
  • cod 4
  • COD4 for PS3
  • COD4 is the best.
  • cod4.
  • cod4 its way better I own it

    Does anyone know what has happened to my Playstation 3?

    May be...
  • Today my PS3 decided not to work anymore. When I turn it on it goes to the menu screen. Everything works in the menu, but when I put in a game it takes it in and nothing happens on the screen. It just stays in the menu as if I had put nothing in it. I tried several games to see if my game was defective, but it isn't- it does this to all games.

    My friend also has a PS3 and he complains of problems with it also. I am beginning to think that this system is a piece of crap.

    What is wrong with my Playstation, and how can it be fixed???

    FYI- I have this system for about 10 months.
  • My friend system did the same thing to him, when I formatted the HDD it started to load the disc. So I recommend to save your info off your system & format the HDD. If that don't work then I advise you call Sony



    PSN:D-Rob92
  • if it is just happening with ps3 games, then your blu-ray laser has burned out. try other things to see if it works or not. Try a dvd or a cd, if they all work then it's the blu-ray diode.
  • open the ps3 up and clean the lazer.



    go to youtube and type in "opening ps3"



    The main problem is dust clouding the lazer, you can fix it yourself for free.

    Im having the same problem right now, check my questions.
  • call sony at 1-800-345-7669 (1-800-345-SONY)

    sony ps3 has warranty for 1 year from the original date of purchase
  • Try starting it again. Same thing happened to me last night. Just turn it off. If it doesnt turn off, turn off the power switch.
  • fone sony they will exchange it for the same model as yours either new or reburbished one your still under warrenty soit will be free
  • PlayStation3 next firmware update.?

    May be...
  • does anyone know what will be next PlayStation3 firmware update and when. and if anyone knows any information about MAG
  • the latest is 2.60



    Looks like a PS3 firmware update may be happening today or tomorrow, folks. We reported details on the upcoming Resistance 2 patch which includes a number of features, one being multiple PSN log-ins. Many of our readers chimed in, saying this is a feature not possible with the current PS3 firmware.



    We got potential confirmation of a pending PS3 firmware update through our comments section. Insomniac Games' James Stevenson responded to our post clarifying the situation. "Resistance 2 is the first game to fully log-in two PSN accounts. LBP only logs you in locally, and does not register both accounts as online through PSN. This is a big difference, and what is required for split-screen online co-op with other folks."



    Here's the smoking gun: "And it was dependent on a Sony update, hence why it wasn't in when the game shipped." If the R2 patch is available on March 26th, then a new PS3 firmware update may be necessary today or tomorrow. It will have to allow for multiple PSN sign-ins, but will it feature any other improvements? Stay tuned.
  • don't listen to anyone..everything at this point is just speculation..noone aside from Sony themselves knows what the next update will have and when it will be released...



    check out this site http://blog.us.playstation.com/



    they are going to be the first people out of everyone on the internet to have the information
  • It will be out in April.



    Version 2.70



    It will allow Multiple User Sign-ins (e.g you can be signed into 2 different PSN accounts. 5-6 games have been patched for split screen online from the same console, Resistance 2 one of them. So you will be able to split screen with a friend and play online. More games will support this after.



    No details on MAG yet.
  • Dude there's a rumor that firmware 2.70 will be released this March. But it's almost April so maybe April is the release date. There are no details YET.



    Happy gaming!



    I don't know any information about MAG sorry.
  • I heard a rumor about cross game voice chat in the next update but it was just a rumor.



    As for MAG we have no info since E3,
  • I am getting an 80GB PS3 2morrow (selling 360's) need info about offline/online/good games?

    May be...
  • I am getting an 80GB PS3 2moz, my 1st PS3





    And i wanted to know about YouTube, can you watch w/e videos you want? or only pre-chosen vids like "Top Rated" and "Most Viewed" which i hear about...





    Also, what good games to get, i am getting GTA IV, CoD4, CoD3, CoD5, Haze, and what others?





    Pleae be as detailed as possible, the most detailed on ALL aspects of my question (detailed..not necessarily long...although i don't mind length tbh) will get the 10 points.
  • The PS3 has a normal browser like a PC. It does all the functions you can do on any browser in the market. So youtube will look like youtube and not like youtube on an iphone or something like that.



    Killzone 2 is the best FPS on any console forget the PS3. It's awesome fun and the best looking game till date. If you want to see how pretty a PS3 exclusive game looks buy it. It's worth it. MGS4 is another awesome PS3 game(The best PS3 exclusive). Buy it only if you have played previous MGS games cause you won't understand a thing if you haven't played the previous games. If you want something creative, then Little Big Planet is the way to go.



    You haven't mentioned what genre you like (judging by options, I think you like FPS), but you can still look at the below recommendations:



    FPS: Killzone 2, COD4 and Resistance 1/2.

    Adventure: Uncharted- Drakes Fortune (awesome Tomb raider style game).

    RPG (Role playing game): Fallout 3 (was Game of the year 08)

    Racing: Burnout Paradise and Motostorm 2.

    Open world sandbox style: GTA4 and Saints Row 2.

    Action: MGS4 (is the best PS3 exclusive... The game was more like a movie... But please pick it if you have played the previous games only).

    Creative/Platformer: Little Big Planet (the game has won the most awards last year. It scored 9.5 on metacritic scale which is a feat for any game. Highly recommended. You can check for reviews..google it)



    Out of the options you have given the 2 games I would recommend are GTA4 and COD4. GTA4 for obvious reasons... It's GTA and COD4 cause it was the best FPS till date (well until Killzone 2 came around).

    COD3 sucked whereas COD5 is nothing but COD3 with better graphics. Haze... Well lets just say it's the worst FPS of all time (Even 2-D FPSes beat Haze.... Crap game with crap story with crap graphics with the crappiest voice acting EVER!!!)



    Please get Killzone 2... You won't regret it. Buy any other game form above list and you will be happy as all are good.



    By the way congrats on buying the PS3!!!! Great choice.
  • You can watch pretty much anything, youtube, metacafe, and pretty much anything you can even watch those sites that let you watch like movies that are still in theaters, you can also download free movies from websites with your browser and them watch them on your ps3, . You can watch ANY youtube videos!

    Those are all fun I like rainbow six vegas 2, warhawk, superstardust, resistance 1, resistance 2. All those games are pretty fun i havnt played haze though, i just have the demo . Its really easy to get online on the ps3, there is always alot of people playing those games Those are just some that i really like...I do alot of messing around on mine so if you have any questions about the ps3 ill try to help just drop me a line.
  • Yes, the PS3 web browser can play all online videos from any site.

    The games you are getting are ok, bot COD 3 and 4 are not trophy games, so you would not get any improvements to your PSN profile. Trophies are the PS3 equivalent to Achievements. Uncharted:Drake's Fortune is an amazing game and of course, the best game ever made, KILLZONE 2. I bought it yesterday and it is the best game i have ever played, graphics best iv eveer seen. This is definitely PS3s year as it has the immense power and the best gamesw coming out. You have chosen a fantastic time to get a PS3. Feel free to add me as friend, my name is

    m11282617

    Dumb name i know, but there you go.
  • You can watch any video you want, plus hook up a keyboard and mouse. If you buy call of duty, make sure to check out the Playstation store which allows you to buy map packs.( the playstation store is already stored on your PS3 which sends a direct link to it). The most amazing games other than call of duty are Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Metal gear solid 4 and if you want an amazing 3rd person shooter that has no online, get Uncharted, even though it has no online, it’s still an amazing game that’s really fun
  • Resident evil 5 is great. Killzone 2 is really good FPS. And make sure to buy the cod4 and cod 5 map packs. In cod 5 it comes with the new zombies map which is sooo much fun. P.S Haze isnt really that good, if u want a futuristic FPS Killzone 2 is the way to go. Hi-Def looks amazing for PS3
  • okay on youtube whatever video you want to see



    okay those games look pretty good i will tell you some cheap 20$ or less games heres a list

    Kane and Lynch Dead Men

    The Orange Box

    Assassins Creed

    Resistance Fall of Man

    Rainbow Six Vegas

    Unreal Tournament 3

    those should get you started
  • Which ps3 can play ps2 games?

    May be...
  • when i get a ps3, i want it to play ps2 games because i have a bunch of them, also someone told me some PS3s cant play ps2 games so i want to find the one that does.
  • oh for god's sake. the 40GB does NOT now, nor did it EVER play PS2 games!!!!!!!! end of story!!!!



    I take it I'm going to be answering this question forever too:



    backward compatibility for the PS3 with PS2 games is as follows:



    20GB (4 USB slots, no longer in production) - yes

    60GB (4 USB slots, no longer in production) - yes

    80GB with 4 USB slots (no longer in production, bundled with MGS4 or Motor Storm) - yes

    40GB (2 USB slots, no longer in production) - NO

    80GB with 2 USB slots - NO

    160GB (2 USB slots) - NO

    any other up coming PS3's - NO



    in short: if it has 4 USB slots, yes. if it has 2 USB slots, no.



    all PS3s play PS1 games.
  • The 40 and 60Gb do, the 80Gb APPARENTLY plays 80% of PS2 games...however i believe this is Urban Legend...





    It supposedly has emulation SOFTWARE (not the PS2 emotion engine hardware like the 40 & 60) which allows it to play games...



    I am getting an 80Gb tomorrow, so i will be able to tell you then if you want, feel free to e-mail me
  • Backward Compatibility (BC) was removed by Sony to cut costs. The newer models don't have BC. The older ones i.e. 60 GB, 20 GB... had BC. The older version had 4 USB ports whereas the newer ones have 2... So it's easy to spot a BC PS3.... 4 USB means BC and 2 means no BC.

    You can find BC PS3 at ebay or amazon. The 60 GB version had the 'Emotion Engine' which is the PS2 hardware in it(so played nearly all PS2 games). Whereas 20 GB version had a 'software emulator' (played nearly 60-70% PS2 games).
  • The 40GB NTSC(U.S.) version IS NOT B/C. It was the first system that WASN'T. It was also cheaper then the original/OLD 80GB version. The 20GB, 60GB, OLD 80GB are B/C.

  • Free DLC on PSN (Downloadable Content on Playstation Network)?

    May be...
  • What is free?



    i heard about one guy at gametrailers.com who thought everything was free, and ended up spending lyk $200 without knowing...



    Do things say FREE/COSTS $___ on them clearly?



    And what is free? I heard it is Demos, Trailers and Wallpapers...anything else?
  • Well if he thought everything was free he was an idiot. On top of that you have to enter Credit Card info in to your "wallet" or put money in it. So if you don't want to pay for things then just remove your CC info. I don't have my CC info in my "wallet" so they aren't going to let me try to download things that aren't free. See how easy it is to avoid the issue.
  • The cost of the item you want to get will be shown on the thumbnail of that item. So if it's free it will say so. It is very clear. Demos are all free. Pictures or wallpapers are free and there are free themes as well, however there are now premium themes which were recently added and you have to pay for those. There is free DLC for some games. Resistance (1) map packs are now free, though they used to cost money when they first came out. The packs for Unreal Tournament 3 are all free, and they basically add a game's worth of content to it. There are some (few) free songs for Guitar Hero and I think there's one for Rock Band. There's more free DLC for some games but you'll have to check it out under add-on content.
  • Things that are free on the PSN will say FREE under the name of the DLC.



    If it is to buy, it will show the amount of money for Example.

  • Does BestBuy have a price match policy?

    May be...
  • I want to buy a PS3 and I herd the price might drop to 300$

    If I buy a PS3 on April 1st for 400$ 80Gig at Bestbuy will I get my 100$ back if the price drops?



    I know a store will only price match in a certain amount of days, example: 15, or 30 days.
  • Yes, Best Buy has a price match policy, but it's only good for 30 days. After 30 days, you don't get a price match.

    Is xbox live the saving grace for Microsoft?

    May be...
  • would people put up with failing hardware if it wasn't for Xbox Live?
  • Yeah. Some idiots that Absolutely hate anything other than Xbox, and think that the Wii and PS3 are their blood enemies.



    I know A LOT of people like that. Not kidding.
  • Sigh. Typical fanboy...

    While the RROD's failure rate has often been exxagerated by the community, Microsoft has been fairly consistent with repairs, and while it may take anywhere from seven days to three weeks, it's an efficient repair, and free for anyone who bought it later than March 2006 (at this specific point in time, mind you).

    And let's not put the good ol' PS3 above this either. It has had several BD-drive failures, hardware failures, disc drive failures, etc. and Sony hasn't done anything about that, except charge you $150 if you're out of warranty.
  • Most people wouldn't.



    But it is also the fact that it is cheaper the one time you buy it. But once you add the accessories (most of which the PS3 has out-of-the-box) like wi fi, controller rechargers, online play, bigger hard drive etc.



    Once you add all these things up, the PS3's cost is less than that of the 360.
  • Yes, it's Live.

    And exclusives.

    And backwards compatibility.

    And community.

    Controller.

    Preference.

    Price.



    A little bit of fanboyism added in that question, eh?
  • Microsoft has lost a ton of money on XBox and 360. So if it were not for Live they would be screwed.
  • What is gamesharing on PS3?

    May be...
  • And how do I do it?
  • Game Sharing is like when you have something on the PSN like a PSN game, movies, etc....



    And those items that you bought from the PSN could be shared to other PSN users.



    The way to do it is to....



    First you need someone who is very trustful to send your games, movies, whatever.....

    Then your gonna need to send your email and password to that person. So he/she could create a user and an account online (Which is your account.) and then he/she goes to your stuff and download it to straight to his/ her's hard drive.
  • If you buy a game off of PSN, you'll have that game on your downloads list and on your PSN ID. If you give your PSN ID to someone else, they can download that game on their PS3. If you acquire their PSN ID, you can download a game they downloaded on your PS3. Each game can be put on up to 5 PS3's. Obviously, if they wanted to, they could download it on four of theirs (or their buddy's) and screw you over.



    NOT A GOOD THING TO DO.
  • It's where you buy a game, someone else logs into your account on another ps3, and downloads it (because you can download it 5 more times for free after you buy it).
  • what update are u on-3.1 3.2... so on.



    I dont have game sharing on my ps3





    my gamertag:Prince_Gumbo add me
  • one person gives another their account info and they download the stuff from the others account but you can only do it 5 times
  • u just log into someone elses account ...download thier games/addons

    ......go bk to ur profile then play



    u should really trust the person as u need to leave the accounts on ur playstation to be able to use the game
  • Killzone 2 help!! teleporting boss.?

    May be...
  • whats is the boss thats keeps teleporting, what is his name.

    and how do u kill him , gimme a youtube link if can
  • I don't think you can kill him. I don't know for sure because I haven't finished the campaign yet.



    His name is Colonel Radec.
  • Radec.



    It's simple to beat him.



    What I did was jump down to the ground level and walked into the little part where Sev and Rico entered.



    You back into a corner, so when Radec charges are you, you shoot him and then melee him for maybe 2 times.

    Repeat this until your objective changes to 'Kill Radec'.



    Run up to the first floor and grab the VC32 then just give Radec a headshot.

    Be careful because when the objective changes to Kill Radec, Radec will spray an SMG non-stop.



    Or you can YouTube it.



    I used the shotgun when Radec teleports and tries to knife you.

    The SMG, Flamethrower or Grenade Launcher would do fine.

    It is free to obtain, so I'd go with it

    YOu can put the Linux on a flash drive, plug it into the PS3

    THen go the the part of settings where it says install other OS

    then choose the flash drive and Linux

    May be...
  • I wanna buy a ps3 i dont care about the price but i want ps2/ps1 capability, i also want the best version i can get wats the differences between the 60 120 180 gigs?
  • You're kind of screwed if you want backward compatibility with PS2 because Sony stopped making PS3 that are PS2 backward compatible.



    There is no 120 or 180 gb PS3. There is a 120 gb 360.



    The 20, 60, and old 80 gb (came with Motorstorm or Metal Gear Solid 4) PS3 can play PS2 and PSX games. You can tell if a PS3 can play PS2 games just by looking at the number of USB ports in the front. The 20 gb doesn't have any flash drives, but the 60 and old 80 gb has them.



    The 40, new 80 (comes with no games), and 160 gb cannot play PS2 games, but it can play PSX games. These PS3 only have 2 USB ports in the front, and they don't have any flash drives. The 40 gb has been out of production for about half a year now, but the good news is that Sony upgraded the 40 gb hard drive to an 80 gb hard drive.



    The best version that you can get is the 60 gb because it has 4 USB ports, 3 flash drives, and Wi-Fi (something that the 20 gb doesn't have). The 20 and 60 gb has both the PS2's emotion engine and the GPU, so they can play almost all PS2 games. The old 80 gb uses software emulation, so it can play most PS2 games.
  • Well, the 60GB is not in production at the moment, and there is no such thing as the 120GB and 180GB Models. The only two currently in development are the 80GB and the 160GB Models. I would say get the 80GB Model.
  • the 60 gig is viewed as the best system made, because of it's ps2 compatibility. if you aren't worried about that stuff, i'd go for the 160 gig. More space is always good.
  • first off there is no 120 gig and they dont make the 60 gig anymore. i wuld say the 80 gig s the best value for money

  • What is better X360 or PS3?

    May be...
  • Xbox 360
  • They're both good systems, and chances are you'll be happy with either. It really comes down to personal preference, so you should do some research to see which one best suits your needs.



    A few things to consider:



    - The PS3 is more expensive, but PlayStation Network is free to use, unlike Xbox Live. If you factor in subscription costs and optional equipment such as a hard drive or wi-fi adapter, the Xbox 360 can end up being more expensive than the PS3.



    - The Xbox 360 does have more games than the PS3, but a high volume of those are racing games and FPS's. The PS3 has a smaller, but more diverse selection of games. Again, this comes down to preference.



    - Both systems have different media capabilities. The PS3 can play virtually any format of video, including DVD and Blu-ray as well as most videos that can be downloaded from the Internet. The Xbox 360's media playback options are somewhat more limited, but it does support streaming Netflix videos, which is a plus if you're already a subscriber to Netflix.



    - The Xbox 360 is compatible with many original Xbox titles. The PS3 is fully compatible with all PS1 titles (though PS2 games are no longer supported), and can play games from any region worldwide.



    Take these into account when selecting which system to buy, and browse through the game libraries of each system to see which has more titles that interest you. I think you'll be happy with either one, but it's best to make sure you're getting the most for your money. Happy hunting.
  • this is such a bad question. However, I have an xbox myself and I like it. The xbox has alot more exclusive titles but the ps3 is shaping up too because it has mgs4, lbp, resistnace and even Killzone which i was considering getting a ps3 for. So I would recommend an xbox because it is much cheaper right now. I think its like 170 bucks and the ps3 is still 300. So you can get an xbox with 2 games and it would cost the less than you just buying a ps3 without anything else. The only downside to an xbox is that you have to pay for the online services.
  • @ Roman



    Xbox may be cheaper in price, but to get wireless internet, that's $100 dollars. To get Xbox live, thats 50 dollars a year. To play HDdvd's (which are useless now) its about $140-$200. Then you get the red ring of death, and thats another $100-$200 dollars to repair. And you can't even use bluetooth head sets. But yeah, I guess you can play Halo 3....



    With the Playstation, you get a blu-ray player, you get internal wireless, free online connectivity, the ability to use any bluetooth head set to play online, HDMI 1.3, full 1080p, 7.1 surround, and great exclusives like MGS4, LBP, Uncharted 1 and 2, Killzone 2, inFAMOUS, God of War III, MAG, MLB: THE SHOW, Ridge Racer, GRan Turismo..



    Just think about it carefully.. And if you decide 360, then good luck playing Halo and Gears... Because those are the only "decent" exclusives.
  • It's simple isn't it? PS3 is the answer.



    Features: PS3 kicks 360's as* here. Yes it's expensive, but by just paying 100$ more, one gets Blu-Ray, Wifi, chargeable remotes working on bluetooth, better exterior, FREE online...



    Games: Currently, 360 has more games cause it was released a year earlier. But in terms of quality games, both have equal numbers of them. 360 has Halo whereas PS3 has Killzone 2, 360 has Gears 2, PS3 has MGS4.... But if you ask me which will eventually have better games, then the answer is PS3.

    Sony is and will continue to win the exclusives battle due to their first party exclusives. This is where Sony is seriously out classing M$. Since this generation started M$ has been losing first party studios like Bungie and Bizarre while Sony has added studios under their umbrella such as Guerrilla and Evolution. Sony is smart, instead of wasting tons of cash on timed exclusive deals for third party games they've invested that cash into their first party studios that will make games that will ALWAYS be on systems named Playstation. I heard that Sony has more studios under their roof than M$ and Nintendo combined. With studios like Guerrilla, Santa Monica, Naughty Dog, Polyphony Digital, Team Ico, etc. making first party titles for Sony you know that their systems will always have quality games.



    sony has upcoming exclusives like Infamous(A GTA kind game, but you have super powers!!!), MAG(support 256 online!!!), GOD OF WAR 3(Do I have to say anything.. biggest game ever!!), Quantum Theory(a TPS like Gears), Uncharted 2(will be bigger than the first one. It will also have better graphics than KZ2!!), GT5 (again the best racing game on full HD!!),FF vs 13 (though FF13 is multi-plat, vs 13 is still a PS3 exclusive and FF titles do rock). This when compared to 360's line up which consists of Halo:OSTD, Alan Wake and Ninja Gaiden 2 , is a juggernaut. (EDIT: NG2 isn't a 360 exclusive, it's been announced for the PS3 as well a few days back)

    So I feel, Sony has the edge over the games department.



    Online: 360 has better online I must admit. I personally prefer my 360 over PS3 in online. But the PSN is getting better day by day and offering more and more features with every update. Also, PS3 ONLINE is absolutely FREE unlike the 360 which charges 50$ annually. Though, 360 is better at online, PS3 isn't far away.



    Reliability: Again a place where PS3 blows the 360 out of the water. I own a 360 and the thing has broken 3 times till date whereas my PS3 which ironically is a year older to my 360 is working well. So, again PS3 wins here.



    So overall, PS3 wins according to me. It just gives so much more than a 360. It just a matter of time when Sony announces a price cut and then the PS3 would be some what affordable. But, if I am going to spend approx 300$ on a console (please don't tell that arcade costs 250 cause there isn't even a drive in it), I would consider shelling 100$ more and getting the PS3 cause it's future proof
  • Everything the 360 does PS3 does better. Online is free on PS3 and it is better than Xbox Live. You pay 50$ a year for Xbox's online service. Honestly you can't go wrong with PS3. Xbox's have a 33% failure rate while PS3s have just 1%. Xbox's errors are on the rise too.









    PS3 has a larger and game collection with more of a variety of games. PS3 has a lot of great games coming out this year like Killzone 2, God of War III, InFAMOUS, MAG and Uncharted: Among Thieves. PS3 has better sports games (exclusives like NBA 09 The Inside and MLB: The Show) It has better racing games (Motorstorm, Ridge Racer, Grand Turismo)Trust me you will not be disappointing in the PS3. It's cheaper too.



    If you don't believe me watch this video, all the games (except one) are PS3 exclusives and half of them have sequels:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUZ-OlPW8...





    Price Comparasion:

    Xbox 360 Pro (60GB): 300$

    Wi-fi Adapter: 100$

    1 Year subscription to Xbox Live: 50$

    One New game: 60$

    Total: 510$



    80GB PS3: 400$

    Wi-fi: Free

    Playstation Network (online): Free

    One New game: 60$:

    Total: 460$



    It's cheaper to get a pS3 and you get more for what you payed for.



    Blu-Ray player

    Blue-tooth capabilities

    HDMI

    and a lot more.



    While Xbox comes with none of those.



    PS3's controls run of a rechargeable battery. You just plug it into the PS3. While Xbox runs off Double A batteries.



    PS3 is better in every aspect. If you had a PS2 a lot of games you enjoyed have sequels only on the PS3.



    E-mail me if you want some help picking out games.

    white_sox_fan93@yahoo.com
  • Of course you will run into fanboys here so from someone who owns both and has no loyality to one or the other, here it is.



    PS3.



    I'll explain. You get a Blu-ray player, which might not be big for you now but like it or not, that's where things are heading. Do you see VHSs anywhere? DVDs will soon see that fate.



    Online is free, if you are into that. I personally don't care about online gaming but where it does effect me are with demos. Some Xbox Live demos require the subscription while none for PS3 do. There's built in WiFi and a bigger hard drive as well.



    As for games, yes 360 does have Halo 3 but personally, when ranking the top games that are exclusives, Halo 3 comes in at number three at best behind Metal Gear Solid 4 and LittleBigPlanet. GTA4 has exclusive DLC for 360 but more than likely it will make it's way to PS3 sometime. Fable 2 (Xbox 360) was something I was really excited about but honestly it was a flop for me.



    Anyway, in the short term, and even long term PS3 is probably the way to go. I like having both because I don't have to worry about exclusives but when it comes to picking a game to play on one or the other, the PS3 version is what I always pick.



    PS3 makes a lot less noise as well.
  • well, this is your choice but if you want my opinion i say the PS3 because it had killing graphics and it doesn't brake down a s easily as the X360. The X360 breaks down and has lots of problems. Plus, you can do much more with the PS3.



    But it is ur decision.
  • i think ps3 free internet and free demos for ever and xbox 360 you have to pay for internet and you have free demos for a year and then you have to pay iso i think ps3 hope my answer can help
  • I like PS3 better because there is so much more you can do and plus a XBOX360 breaks down easily.
  • I prefer the ps3. So far my xbox 360 has been collecting dust, since i've been playing the ps3 so much. All these great exclusives!
  • Actually, you have to decide yourself because if u are asking us then we're saying our opinion.
  • They are both good the graphics are similar
  • I think the PS3 because I prefer it.



    Honestly, it doesn't matter what we think.
  • the Playsattion 3 because the 360 is jsut a waste of money
  • i would say ps3 because it has a strong game linup out and upcoming and more features
  • PS3
  • What specifications should I look for when buying an HDMI cable for my PS3?

    May be...
  • The answer to this will be determined by how long is the distance between your source and display. If it is more than 15 feet you should seriously consider using an HDMI ver 1.3 (don't worry about a, b or c as these are only testing protocols) "high speed" cable. If it is less than 15 feet a "standard" cable should be ok. make sure that you buy from a reputable source as there are a lot of counterfeit cables being sold at the moment. You also need to ensure that the cable has the HDMI logo and version 1.3 marked on the packaging.

    The last thing that you should consider is choosing a cable with gold plated connectors. This will not improve your signal but they will not corrode (particularly in coastal or high humidity locations) which will stop the signal degrading over time.



    Remember that you can never improve a digital signal by using an expensive cable but you can degrade a signal by using an inferior cable. You will see this degradation as sparkles and pixellation particularly in dark scenes.
  • None. Don't let any salesmen trick you into getting the most expensive HDMI cord. Any will do. A $10 one or an $80 will offer the exact same stuff. The only thing you may have to worry about is reliability.



    Austin is incorrect. Any HDMI will support those resolutions, not just gold plated ones. Other than length you really have nothing to concern yourself with. Don't get ripped off with those 80 dollar monster cables. Quality will be the same, trust me. I've worked with these things for years.
  • Yeah get a cheap HDMI and you're gonna hear static in the sound and less picture quality. I bought an $80 Monster cable because they are thick and reliable and in my opinion, they work way better. Either that, or a Sony HDMI cable. Don't go for the cheap stuff man. Its just money. I like quality, so I buy the best that I can get.
  • dont listen to people who say "none"

    if you want the best picture go with a hdmi cable that is...

    gold plated

    supports all resolutions 480i, 720p, 1080i, 1080p

    must be sturdy

    and as long (length) as you need it
  • Don't mind the other answerer, I have Sony HDMI and the cheap ones ($10).. they're exactly the same. So, just look out for the price.

  • How do you know whats the lead console for this games. Also how do you know the same for other games?
  • Unless the developer says so, there's usually no way to tell which one is the lead console. Sometimes you can tell if a game happens to work better on once console over the others -- the console it works best on was probably the lead.



    No idea which was the lead on GH:M, though it'd be hard to tell since it's just an upgrade to the GH:WT engine.
  • Lead console? You mean like who is selling the most copies? I don't think thats possible unless you know somebody on the "inside".
  • Xbox 360 or PS3? I need help deciding what's better.?

    May be...
  • I have the money. About 500 dollars. What should i get?
  • PS3.

    WHY?

    Blu-ray, better exclusives, not RROD, HDMI1.3, Better looking, more processing power, good lineup for 2009.



    PS3:

    Killzone 2

    God of War 3

    inFAMOUS

    Gran Turismo

    Ridge Racer

    Uncharted: Drakes Fortune

    Uncharted 2: Among theives

    Resistance: Fall of Man

    Resistcance 2

    Massive Action Game

    Metal Gear Solid 4

    LIttleBigPlanet

    Motorstorm

    360:

    Halo 3

    gears of war

    Gears of War 2

    uhhh

    uh......

    Uhhhhhh....

    Yeah, thats about it...

    Unless you want to play VIva Pinata..

    ahahahahah



    Plus, you get FREE!!! online service. Watch blu ray movies, use any bluetooth head set. INTERNAL WIRELESS!!!



    But I guess if you get a 360, you can go pay $50 for Halo 3.... The only "decent" game on the 360...
  • PS3

    -one of the best blu ray players on the market if not THE best (blu ray players with the same capabilities as the ps3’s run from 500-600 dollars)

    -free online play

    -rechargeable controllers

    -VERY reliable and durable

    -will have more games than the 360 at the end of 2009 (with bigger and better titles)

    -online play is great

    -amazing graphics

    -great selection of games

    -game discs are blue ray

    -better graphics card and faster processor than 360

    -only 0.2% defective rate after opened from box

    -won best console of 2008

    -built in free wifi

    -double coated discs that protect it against scratches even from steel wool. (check the video on youtube, its impressive!).



    360

    -larger online community

    -online costs money to use

    -30% defective rate after opened from box (yes, 30!)

    -breaks down and creates the ring of death (scoring of the discs until they arent readable)

    -amazing graphics

    -great selection of games

    -has HD DVD player (which is obsolete and useless because they only make Blu Ray DVDs, not HD DVDs.)

    -not cheaper than the ps3. wifi adapter is 100 bucks and 1 year of online is 50 ($150 added to any bill)



    Dont waste your time with an xbox they will just break. i have owned both for a long time and the PS3 is by far the better choice. so its 100 dollars more...big deal. you get a larger hard drive and an amazing blu ray player. dont listen to bias people. you will get xbox lovers saying how the ps3 is junk. they are beyond ignorant. they are both amazing but the ps3 triumphs.



    PROS:

    PS3 -

    1. 33% fail rate meaning you can't play it and if you want to fix it you have to send it to microsoft for them to fix it and you will get it back approx. 2 WEEKS and has 33% of it failing again [PS3 has 0.2%]

    2. Pay for online gaming $50 a year

    3. Have to buy many add ons

    4. Buy a recharger for controllers.

  • If you would like a PURE game machine; go with the 360. 360 dominates the gaming world in FPS, RPG, online gaming and game selection (not so much anymore). If you are a Resident Evil fan, XboX is now offering a bundle deal for the elite model 360 with a 120 gig HD, play and charge controller and Resident Evil 5 included. $400 new as it stands now. Some of the RPG exclusives include: Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Kingdom Under Fire - Circle of Doom, Infinite Undiscovery, Blue Dragon, Spectral Force 3, Apocolypse, Tales of Vesperia,Dark Messiah of Might & Magic Element, Fable 2. FPS exclusives include: *Halo 3*, *Gears of War 1 &2*, Dead Rising, Perfect Dark Zero. Not to mention Rainbow Six Vegas is superior on the 360 in my opinion (have played on both systems). This is not a comlete list of exclusives. Playstation 3 has a good list of games too (not as many noteworthy games). Noteworthy Ps3 exclusives include: MGS4, Resistance 1 & 2, God of War 3, Killzone 2, Little Big Planet. Not too many more that will blow your mind. 2 more things that make the Ps3 a better buy: Blue Ray disc player, Free online play (not as well maintained). I hope this helped.
  • PS3 is going to last longer so you get more for your money. PS3 is the software master as well they have so many games in so many genres. For example. (These are just the exclusive ones)

  • you should be very smart about this so why not get both you can get a xbox 360 for 200$ now all you need is a 300$ ps3 so heres a cheap ps3 get the first one it costs 327 http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B...

    now for the 360 http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B...

    get the first oine under used and that one has a hard drive so if you get it off amazon you get it for cheaper
  • You should get a ps3 because it is a lot cheaper but in the long run it will save you a ton of money compared to the crappy Xbox 360. think about it your paying $50 a year for online and and they break really easily such as the red ring off death. ps3 has free online and and the controller doesn't take batteries like the Xbox 360. it is totally worth it!
  • well from everybody elses answer i wood go with the ps3 because thats what i have and it rocks
  • ps3 is worth it cuz blu ray is gonna take over and they cost the same. Ps3 has amazing picture quality. I have one a highly recommend it.
  • LOOK PEOPLE AND LISTEN THERE IS NO "BETTER" SYSTEM ITS UP TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO DON'T LISTEN TO ANY FANBOYS
  • ps3 trust me way better than that crappy xbox crap..i say go with the ps3 if you do get it welcome to the fam....

  • killzone
  • Kingdom Hearts
  • God of War 2 is an awesome game!
  • On the PS3 controller it has 4 red spots to indicate the battery level?

    May be...
  • when i shut ps3 down for the night i wake up and turn it on and the controller is set at 2 and never works playing games. I have to keep restoring my Ps3 defaults to get it to work any one have ideas?
  • If you have something plugged into the PS3 when you shut it down then it gets assigned slot number 1. Rock band instruments count for this. So your controller gets assigned number two when the machine starts up, cause something else is plugged in. Unplug that other thing when you turn the system on, then when you turn the controller on, it will have slot one.



    Other than that, youll just have to keep assigning slot one to it manually.
  • Those 4 red lights determine what # controller you're using. Only # 1 will control the functions. Try your other controller. Thats my guess.
  • The red buttons indicate what player you are if your the first light your player one and it goes all the way to player 4
  • You need to go to the controller settings and assign it to Port 1...give that a try!
  • hold the PS button on controller and u will see controller settings... change it to player one and ur good to go

    happens to me all the time
  • Gta san andreas question?

    May be...
  • on Gta san andreas what is the best way to get 6 star?(on ps2)
  • I love this game.

    Well i know there's like gang wars, not sure what thats in.

    But you could shoot the cops. I got 6 once and I had squat vans and helicopers and police boats chasing me.



    You did pretty soon, unless you have a cheat.



    x
  • Get to an area you're not supposed to be yet- at the start, anywhere outside of Los Santos. Boom, instant 6-star level and a manic foot race to the first car you can find.



    For the muppet that keeps voting everyone down: got any better ideas?
  • I don't think killing sends it to 6 STARS i think the only thing possible is to agree with leaving the area. Well firstly, kill loads of people to about 4/5 stars then attempt the leave. I think it's pretty stupid doing this though.
  • depends on what part of the game you're at but steal a tank and start blowing things up that works well.

    have a look at some of these youtube vids they might help

    http://www.youtube.com/results?search_ty...
  • R1, R1, Circle, R2, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left <- Cheat code to raise your wanted level enter it until you have six stars.
  • go on a random killing spree or you can just shoot cops
  • LOL i did that by accident the other day.. walked into some place i wasnt supposed to, i think i lasted about 3 seconds
  • What PS3 hard drive should I get?

    May be...
  • I'm out of storage space on my 40GB PS3 and I want to get a new internal hard drive. I'm going to backup my data on external storage. Then I'm going to put a new hard drive in but I don't know what kind. Can someone give me a link to the right kind of internal hard drive. I would like it to be under 150$ and around 200-500 GB. Preferably a link to a harddrive on Bestbuy.com
  • The new drive needs to be a 2.5" SATA (sometimes called Serial ATA) 5400rpm drive. These types of hard drives are common in laptop computers. Note that you could get a 7200 rpm drive but it would mostly be a waste of money in a PS3. I would get the biggest drive, in term of gigabytes, that my budget would allow.



    I have a Hitachi 250gb drive in mine that I bought at Best Buy. It formatted out to 232gb and I've already used almost 70gb with game installs, saves, and downloads from the PS Store. If you can get something even bigger ... go for it.



    Check You Tube if you need help or instruction with the swap. It's really easy. Be sure and use a quality, well fitting, screwdriver when you do it. In my opinion the cheap eyeglass screwdrivers most of the videos show being used are junk. I bought a set of electronics screwdrivers from Radio Shack for about $6 that worked really well.
  • 40gb is too small, trust me.



    I have an 80gb and it suits me just fine, I have loads of videos, demos, and songs.



    80+ for sure. XD
  • As long as you get a laptop hard drive then it doesn't matter. I would say anything bigger then 100GB is more then enough, unless your putting your entire music collection on your PS3.
  • get one as big as possible
  • 80 is optimum /you will never fill it up full.for your entire life..............
  • uhh 250
  • Do you think i should buy a ps3?

    May be...
  • It cant be that expensive so should i buy the 20gb, 60gb, 80gb, and how much do those three cost?
  • The 20 and 60GB models aren't sold anymore. The 80GB model is $400 and the 160GB model is $500 and also comes with Drake's Fortune. Neither model can play PS2 games.



    There are strong rumors of a price drop occurring within the next month or 2, so you may want to wait a bit longer.



    Should you buy one? That depends... If you're interested in some games, and watching Blu-ray movies then get the PS3.



    If you're only interested in playing games, then a 360 Pro may be a better buy since it's cheaper, has the same graphics, plays most of the same games, but has a larger and better (IMHO) library of exclusive games.
  • You should buy the one with the smallest sized hard drive you can find and replace the hard drive.



    I replaced my 40Gb hard drive with a 320Gb one.



    It's pretty easy to change them over, just make sure you get the right type (needs to be SATA, 2.5 inch)



    It is more expensive than the 360 though, so if you don't care about being able to play blu rays you should maybe just get a 360 unless the ps3 exclusive games tempt you... PS3 also has the ability to install linux, so if you buy a cheap USB keyboard and mouse it can basically be used as a high definition PC on your TV while you're not playing games.



    see here: http://us.fixstars.com/products/ydl/



    I got my ps3 for £100 in a closing down sale, and £800 worth of games and blu rays for £60 - otherwise I doubt I would have spent the money on it. The new hard drive cost me about £40. I don't know what the US prices are like.
  • the 20 and 60 are not being sold anymore

    and if you are going to get a used one i would get the 60 gb one

    if you are planning on getting a new one get the 80 GB which is $399.99
  • 20GB you can't find unless on ebay anymore. 60GB gamestop sells used ones for 460 bucks and 80GB is 400 bucks and the 160(just so you know) is 500 dollars. So your choice
  • 20gb they don't sell them any more

    60gbs they don't sell them any more either.

    80gbs core it costs $400
  • nah dont waste your time right now with sony....their in a slum, get a used 360 for now, sony will be back

    How to hook PS3 to my surround sound and HDTV?

    May be...
  • my ps3 just came in earlier by mail and just got off work so i haven't opened the box yet. so how would i connect my ps3 to my onkyo receiver and my hdtv using hdmi?



    ps3>>av receiver

    receiver>>hdtv



    is that the correct way with hdmi?
  • Connect the PS3 to the Onkyo using DVD input. Connect the RCVR to the TV using HDMI OUT.

    On the PS3, go to settings,change audio from bitstream to LPCM. This way, your PS3 will do the decoding of the HD Audio formats.
  • read the instructions when mine came it told me how to do it all
  • When playing Playstation Home, every so often theres a metallic clunking noise in the backround, whats it for?

    May be...
  • I know what you're talking about. It's the noise in the game not on the PS3, right. I hear it too. It's like a taxi cab meter rolling from time to time...hahahaha. I guess it's just an internet or server connection related noise. Nothing to worry about.
  • Were you in or near the new XI space? Because for some stupid reason the home staff thought it would be cool to add a backgroundd song to a space, but one that can be completely annoying at times. It has randomly appeared for me when I am in the XI space. It truly is annoying and wish it wasn't there.
  • Are you talking about a clunking money kind of sound?

    That is how many points you will have earned. Sony MIGHT be going to make use of virtual money in the future and you taking part in the Open Beta will help alot. So its a "background reward"

    It's not final though.

    This is what I have heard.
  • its just the lens mover that holds the lens this prob could b solved if u dust off the inner base regularly but this prob never occurs in ps2
  • possibly your hardrive is heating up.

    i havent had it happen to me but i always keep my cooling fan on
  • Konami vs capcom who do u think is better?

    May be...
  • re5 metal gear top game makers who do u think is better name a few games and something about why it is so good
  • Metal Gear Solid beats Resident Evil, no question. It beats it down and kicks it around the block in front of its family and friends, then pees on it. Though they both have well-made stories and weird controls, Metal Gear's weird controls are responsive and the game has class. Resident Evil is just like playing a combat game where you are handicapped by a half-second delay in all your actions.



    Aside from that, I don't know of any great titles made by Capcom. Konami either. They're not great game makers. Capcom mostly makes anime fighting games, like they're stuck in Sega Genesis mode or something. Konami makes metal gear and, what else? Not much.



    The best game maker of them all is still SCEA. They are responsible for the true legends like gran turismo, and god of war. I don't think Konami or Capcom has ever partnered with SCEA on any games.



    If the xbox360 were to get Ubisoft, I would laugh at all the poor xbox owners for getting the absolute worst video game maker in the world as an exclusive developer. Ubisoft's latest turkey, Hawx, defies description and common sense. Most air combat games that aren't flight sims say they are arcade games straight up. Hawx pretends to be a flight sim, even though it's more arcade than Ace Combat was. It's as arcade as that Red Baron mini-game, and the Red Bull Air Race. If Tom Clancy goes to xbox, I won't miss him, it will mean more room for quality games to sell on ps3.

    And rock star still just mainly makes grand theft auto, another hugely overrated game. I have hated GTA ever since it lost its sense of humor, the last good one was GTA2; after that it was just gangbang this, gangbang that. Like the movie Scarface. I won't play a game if I don't like the main character. GTA2 was good cause it was funny. the radio stations were full of funny soundtracks. The neighborhoods were run by gangs like the Loonies, the Russians, and the Rednecks, who lived in a massive trailer park. That's 1st-class game design and the GTA's 3 and GTA 4 can't measure up to it. So Take-two can go to 360 too, for all I care. Only good rockstar game I ever owned is Smuggler's run.



    Ubisoft may be releasing IL-2 sturmovik on ps3 in the future, but it's not their game, it was made by a russian company, Maddox games. They just stamp their name on it and publish it.



    These are the quality game developers in my opinion:



    Naughty Dog (Jak and Daxter)

    Free Radical (Timesplitters)

    Sony Computer Entertainment (duh)

    Pandemic (star wars battlefront 1)

    Insomniac (Resistance)

    Evolution Studios (motor storm)

    THQ (red faction)

    Havok (pain)
  • The Metal Gear series tops the Resident Evil series for me.



    The Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Acid games are some of my favorite; especially the Metal Gear Solid game for the NES way back then.



    There's also Okami which is extremely fun.



    I'm having trouble understand your last question.

    If it was Konami + Capcom vs. Rockstar and Ubisoft then Konami + Capcom would definitely win. Metal Gear and Resident Evil are far more popular than Grand Theft Auto.
  • Konami. They started out with classics like Contra and moved to modern classics like Metal Gear. Lets not forget the successful Pro Evolution/Winning Eleven series, unfortunately it isn't so successful anymore, but back in the PS2 days this was the top football game
  • I would say konami. Capcom makes arcade type games. Almost no story at all. I was able to test the RE5 demo and I think that is typical of Capcom. It is so "arcadey". Konami makes a story first and then develop a game out of it.
  • Capcom is best because it produce games like

    Resdential Evil 4 and 5

    Ascension To the Throne

    And many games which are the limit of the sky

    Konami produced

    Tekken Etc

    If both the companies created one game it would beat the sales of GTA4

    How to create a PSN account?

    May be...
  • I don't have a PS3 but I have a PSP with CFW 3.71m33-3. I'm trying to play Resistance Retribution online but it says that I need a PSN account. Am I screwed?
  • You need to make a PSN account. On the PSP menu just go to the Playstation Netwonk, and select make an account. You need the latest official firmware to make an account.
  • How do you change the movie parental lock on the ps2?

    May be...

  • Under the parental lock settings enter 7444. This will reset the old password and allow you to change the password.
  • PS3 cod 5 Question. Please help.?

    I s Resistance Retribution in any way a sequel to the Resistance games?

    Sure.
  • Yes, It takes the story after Resistance Fall of Man.
  • Killzone 2 online is soo short?

    May be...
  • this is the first game i ever played online(i never played a game online before)i was playing and i noticed the matches are VERY short.im talking less than 5 minutes.is it because i am new and i need to rank up or sumthing?or is there a way to increase the time limit?if so how??



    p.s. my PSN is Da_iLLeST_n00b (the o are zeros if u were wondering)
  • The matches online vary in length. It depends on the person who created it to set the length of each objective (ex. Body count, search & retrieve, assassination etc). Matches can go from 5 minutes to 2 hours. If you don't understand, or need more info, email me: baga2715@yahoo.com
  • it means your entering games that are only that long. if you enter a game that is only body count, chances are it wil only be 5 minutes long. some people like to make them longer (half hour) with more kills needed to win, but not always. go into a game that has all 5 matches set up (body count, search and destroy etc etc.). depending on the set scores, those games last at least half an hour
  • no...your playing single category games...so basically its only capture the flag or whatever...some matches have different scenarios built into it...so instead of playing 1 match leaving and playing another....all matches are built in and you play different scenarios in one game such as CTF then Assassination then King of the hill etc etc
  • It depends on the host of the game. He/she can set the time limit anywhere from 5 min to 120 min. Try to find a game with high ranking players because they usually set their time to be longer. If you cant find a longer game, host your own game.
  • yeha you were playing a 5 minute bodycount they just do that for people to get the 50 wins trophy but go to a full 30min warzone thats long just go to the game where all the circles are filled
  • Killzone 1 matches were pretty long. If you don't like the length, set up your own.
  • Ps3 sixaxis controllers?playing without one?

    May be...
  • okay sometimes in killzone 2 they ask u to tilt the controller to the left to turn a valve or something.so i was wondering how do u use the feature without a sixaxis controller(i have a wired one)?will i not be able to not play or something?
  • Whoa, do they even make wired Ps3 controllers?

    Sounds like you'll have to borrow a friend's or something.
  • yeah for that part you need sixaxis...unfortunately there isnt a disable sixaxis function in the game....

    Is the PlayStation Network free?

    May be...
  • Is it free, as in you can play online for free, or do you have to pay extra, like on XBox Live?
  • OF COURSE!~ that's one of the main reasons which makes ps3 worth buying! from demos to wallpapers, chatting, online play, etc!



    But some features such as downloading Add-ons requires a Fee. But don't worry there are many options in purchasing them, one of which is a playstation card from 5-10$ which can be purchased on mostly any electronic shop!



    or you can also use a cred it card which is a little bit complicated and frustrating lol, so I recommend you use the card (if you're planning on buying stuff online).
  • mostly everything on playstation is free. Making an account is free, playing online is free. playstation home is free ( the clothes are not free you have to buy them ) Every demo game on Playstation store is free. So yea mostly everything is free.
  • everythng is free unless you want to buy add ons, like maps and suck. than it will cost money. but chatting and playing against people from around the world is free of charge.
  • Everything, from demos, to online multiplayer is free. Chatting with your friends via voice or video is also free.
  • Yes, it is free.

    And the PS3 has a built in Wi-Fi so that it can find your internet connection (as long as it's wireless).
  • Yes.
  • It's free
  • Can ps3 win the console war this year?

    May be...
  • last year the Wii won, because more people bought it.

    so let's don't talk about the Wii



    lets talk about 360 and PS3. last year xbox 360 beat the ps3

    because it had more games on, and more exclusive even though ps3

    got Metal Gear Solid 4.



    so can the ps3 beat xbox 360 this year with its exclusive?

    ps3 has some nice exclusives coming out this year
  • when it comes to games and exclusives then yeah the ps3 wins this year

    but if you are talking about console sales this year i think no because people still think the 360 is cheaper , the only way i can see ps3 selling more consoles than the 360 this year would be by a price drop
  • More people buy the Wii because it's cheap & fun & most ppl get it for their younger kids who tend to get what they want. The Xbox sells more than PS3 because it is cheaper & there are zillions of Halo fans, plus some other games they have exclusively to them. I personally am a Sony fan, although I own all the consoles of each brand. I like the different genre choices in games...I don't always want to play Socom. Sometimes I like to mindlessly play Lumines, etc. Plus there are lots of choices for yonger kids also. More than xbox.
  • Overall, no. The Wii is litterally at a point where it could stop being bought COMPLETELY, and still be number 1 by the time the PS3 dies.



    In the race for second place, it is CERTAINLY possible for an upset to take place.Currently, it's only trailing by 8 million units. And at this point, we don't have any HUGE exclusives coming to the 360 this year (Mass Effect 2 is in 2010). However, that could ALL CHANGE at E3, so don't make any decisions yet.

    The Blu-Ray player is also going to be a driving factor. It's slowly looking like it may really take over DVD, so people may be considering making that leap, using the PS3 as a bridge, since it also has other features. (However, the 360 has Netflix streaming, so it's also a choice consumers must make.).

    Finally, since the economy is down, people may be weary to buy a console, much less the most expensive one on the market.



    My prediction? By the end of the year, the Wii has passed 50 million, and is still number one. 360 is in second place, but the PS3 has now made it a neck and neck competition. It's really gonna come down to what Microsoft has at E3, and planned for the holiday season.
  • I'm pretty sure it will win. Wii is more of a kids gaming console. When it comes to 360 and PS, then that's the real competition. PS is getting a bunch of exclusives this year. With Killzone already out, its sure to have got up there in the console war. Then later, God of War III, inFAMOUS, Uncharted, and some more.
  • xbox 360 is the best online the PS3 is not very good online and you cannot buy the little Microsoft points at the story like the 360 or the year cards to play online and i think the PS3 has no chance to win and the PS2 is the only think that keeps the PS3 from going under
  • I don't think Sony cares if PS3 outsales Xbox or not. Sony just want to make a profit of it's sales. If the company makes more profit per sale then Microsoft then Sony has won. Even if they sale less machines.
  • with a price drop yes ps3 will win without it they probably will the only thing we need is the american market we got japan and others but with the AAA titles and a price drop yeah ps3 will win i mean god of war 3 single handedly will win ps3
  • Yes, because of

    Killzone 2(biggest game this year)

    God of War 3

    MAG

    More games...

    Then they 3.0 Firmware update which gives ps3 many of the features 360 already has
  • Any console that has good games and great graphics is going to win. If the PS3 can innovate (like the Wii) only then can it stand out better.
  • "last year xbox 360 beat the ps3

    because it had more games on"



    Still has more and better games.

    not like ps3 is gonna get any worse
  • Yes with all the great games coming for PS3. Also it would help a lot if Sony cut PS3 price.
  • once its fall 09 and all these sweet games come out i think the ps3 will pick up in sales
  • as for sales, ps3 is doing a lot better than xbox, i'm sure ps3 would win
  • its what you think of it
  • Gears of War 3 for PS3?

    May be...
  • will gears of war 3 come to ps3?

    microsoft had a deal with gears of war just for only 1 and 2

    but do you think it'll come out for ps3 the 3 one?
  • PS3 already have Metal Gear Solid. They don't need Gears of War.
  • Microsoft and Sony tend to cling to their exclusives as tightly as possible. Even though some have gone multiplatform like Devil May Cry 4 and Final Fantasy 13, exclusives are what give a system its edge. I am sure Microsoft will drop a lot of money to keep Gears of War on their system, just as Sony viciously defends the rights to Metal Gear 4 and God of War 3.



    But, its always possible it will go multi-platform, only time can tell.
  • nope after gears of war 2 the 360 can have that franchise disappointed there was only one thing in that entire game that made go Holy Shi@ that was fing awesome but you didnt even get to play with that toy for that long, plus the ending was lame. Anyways those games are published by Microsoft so it wont go to ps3 just like god of war wont be on the 360.
  • you know microsoft they spend alot of money for exclusives like gta the lost and damned but they can't do it forever but i think gears will stay since i mean really whos gonna play the third in a series when the first 2 didn't even come out but its possible they will make a bigger profit but i think no
  • No



    Epic are now free to make it multi-platform, but that doesn't stop Microsoft from letting that exclusive title drop of their hands.

    It's just like saying that Killzone 3 would go to the 360. (Which isn't true and so as the Gears 3)
  • No, Gears of War has made Microsoft way to much money for them to just let it go. They will drop a lot of dollars to keep the Gears of War series exclusive to the Xbox 360, its all they have, besides Halo.
  • Microsoft slipped a bit with Lost Planet and Bioshock and lost them over to the PS3 but thing is, they're not the strong titles.



    Personally, I don't think that Gears of War 3 will be on the PS3.
  • no i think the PS3 should not get Gears of War 3 cause it is going to be to good for the PS3 the 360 is way better than the PS3 online
  • microsoft develops the gears games. i seriously doubt theyd just share it w ps3
  • i dont think so its an 360 exclusive
  •
