The PS3 Clubhouse

[digibucc]

your constant ebragging gets old arciks.

i'm sorry, i ignore it most of the time. but your posts only ever seem to highlight the new stuff you have, how much you have, or how early you got it.

I bought my slim in december, have over 20 games - 30 if you count PSN downloads. I have a ton of electronics, including monitors, tvs, top of the line computers, ipods, blackberries, and more. I have hundreds of games on my computer. I don't go around saying this all the time because people don't want to hear it.

talk about how great the system is, talk about how great the games are. how you want this one or what makes that one better.

but coming on here and bragging(whether or not your intention, that's what you do) about how much you have/how early you got it - will just force people to stop paying attention. personally it makes me wish there were an ignore feature.

and I truly am not trying to be rude or mean, I just think you can join the conversation without pointing out to others how much more you have than them.

wow. really?

I am in no way monitoring ,, just the only posts I have ever seen from you are you telling everyone else how much you have. that is really not cool.

comment you all the time? I have never commented to or about you ever before. I have bit my tongue every time i read one of your posts spouting off about getting a game early, or how much crap you own.

I was just trying to let you know how unseemly that is. that people don't want to read it. the only reason to post it is to give yourself an unwarranted ego boost.

if you don't care whether people can stand to talk to you or not, then by all means - feel free to act like that. you'll have no friends , but at least you'll know why.

I get what your saying dude. Constant hardware/game name dropping does get a bit old. I admittedly talk about games that Ive played early, but its only to say if I think its or , not to pretend Im 'l33t' or anything LOL

The new and improved Boomroom:

I gots a list

I think that a $300 PS3 can be just as good of a "HTPC" as an actual HTPC Also, it was sounding good through just the two big speakers, but I added the two small Bose ones to the ensemble and it's sounds stinking amazing now in "5 Channel Stereo" or "Matrix" mode. Now all I need is a nice sub to add and I'll be set. Oh, sometimes, or well, a lot of the time while playing a game I'll get an extremely high pitched sound coming out of the speakers (maybe just the new ones). It's not very intrusive but noticeable nonetheless. Any idea what it could be?

I used to get a weird high pitch noise when the PS3 was switching between video modes (720p to 1080p, etc), but its stopped on its own. If this only started with the new Bose speakers though, its probably related to them

The setup looks nice, I'll be expecting my invite

Yeah, but I wasn't switching resolutions or anything. Also, it only did it while I was playing the GoW III demo and I hear none of it when playing music or anything else. I'll play around a little more with the amp and see if there's some option I forgot about.




From what I've concluded, here are the pros of the older and new slim models.

• PS2 game compatibility
• More sturdy
• Better non-slip pads on bottom
• Somewhat more stylish
• Power switch on back
• Touch-sensitive buttons on unit
• Swiveling PS logo on unit
• Integrated media card readers
• Less overall noise
• Light original Sixaxis (not the Dualshock 3) controllers
• More USB ports

• Lighter and thinner
• Somewhat faster HDD (which usually results in quicker load and install times)
• Cheaper
• CPU & GPU dies down to 45nm from 90nm
• No HDD door for replacing takes away from the looks, the hatch is somewhat hidden

I'm not hating on the Slimline models here, they're still great systems. But, adding all of these pros together would have created the perfect console for me personally.

 

[JC316]

Um, I can turn my slim on with the PS button on the controller. You just hold it down.

 

[digibucc]

yeah PS button works fine

 

[theonedub]

On the Slim you cannot install Linux like you could on the Phat. I used to have a 60gb (w/ upgraded HDD) but I never really used PS2 BC and Linux is handicapped for the most part (no RSX access) so I was willing to give it up to get a Slim mainly for power savings and to cut down on heat.

Noise wise the Slim is quieter minus the actual eject/inserting of a disc- at first I thought mine was broken

 

[johnnyfiive]

Same here Joe, my slim turns on fine using the PS button.

 

[digibucc]

yeah i have enough computers to run linux on. I am the type to mod/hack my stuff just because it sounds fun - regardless of whether I will use it or not... i'm not the kind to get an older more expensive(in my area) , harder to find piece of hardware for it though.

 

[JC316]

I did too lol. It is one noisy bastard when loading and ejecting.

 

[Soylent Joe]

Make that 3, it was quiet at the time and it actually freaked me out a little

And yes, I know now that it can turn on with the PS button, thanks. I was just used to tapping it on my old one.


On a different note, is Heavy Rain worth full price? I played the demo and found it very very interesting. The fight got my heart racing and the whole thing seemed excellently crafted. But, I don't know if it would be the type of game I want to play over and over like LBP.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

heavy rain is pretty awesome a fresh gaming style considering all the cookie cutter crap and the difficulty scales very well so anyone can have a challange at there lvl of skill stories damn good to well worth full price

but im cheap so ill wait for its price to drop simply because i dont have the cash for all the games i want

 

[Soylent Joe]

It hurts my soul to pay $60 for a game. I can get it for $56 from the Egg or for $57.77 at Target after tax and a 10% coupon. Has anyone found it cheaper?

I'm also looking for another controller. Newegg has them for $45 which is $10 cheaper than Target plus I won't have to pay tax. Or I could put up a WTB for one...

 

[theonedub]

Im with you guys on Heavy Rain. I am waiting until its cheaper then I will pick it up. I would love it if someone wanted to let me borrow it for shipping costs

 

[digibucc]

i would do that onedub - i haven't finished it yet though i'm not playing it atm, so if you could play it and have it back to me in 2-3 weeks that would work...
