The PS3 Clubhouse

[bruins004]

Woot finally got the 5 free Blu Ray DVDs yesterday.
I honestly didnt think they would ever come in.
Now its time to watch some full 1080p movies

Also, just a quick question.
How can you check that the DVD output on the PS3 (esp. for regular DVDs) is set to 1080p?

Just came across this guys http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/03/20/firmware-v220-bringing-bd-live-to-ps3/

Seems that the new Blu Ray Profile is coming to us soon
As well as some other goodies.

With my tv, I can push like enter or ok on the remote and it will tell me whats resolution is being displayed. For instance, my DVDs are normally 480p, but with my tv and the ps3, they are upconverted (quite well) to 720p. Regular HD TV is the same thing as well. Thats how I Tell.

@Easy Rhino,

Sorry if it's any trouble but could you please make the following changes to my thing in the member list:
-Add Calling all Cars and Pixel Junk monsters to games owned.
-Take uncharted out of games currently playing and add my 2 new games.

Thanks.



My older brother got a logitech force feedback steering wheel for only AUD$50 (around US$43) from EB Games that works good on PS3. The reason it was cheap is because it says it's for Playstation 2 and PC but it actually works on PS3 as well. I've used it in GT-HD-C, Dirt Demo and F1 demo and it worked good (force feedback and pedals didn't work in F1). He also said it works on his GT5-P Demo. Force Feedback is pretty fun, when you go over the jump at the start of the MT Eiger track in HD Concept you have to hold the steering wheel tight .

I bought Sonic The Hedgehog on PS3............20$

 

[WarEagleAU]

wow, is it pretty awesome? Ive been wanting to get it but Ive not seen it anywhere for $20.00

I finally got around to ordering Warhawk today. Hopefully many people still play this game or else it was a complete waste. Sonic should be $20 almost everywhere now WarEagle.

 

[WarEagleAU]

Hmm, Ill check the famous Wally World and see if they have it for the ps3 that cheap. Or Gamespot or Play N Trade

Gamestop:

If you can find it in stock, it will definitely be ~$20.

It won't really matter since all it does is stretch and blur the image. Your TV will already do this.

yeah it was worth the $20 its a sonic game and if you love sega and love sonic get it......ign and gamespot didnt like it they can go to hell though, it also loads up a bit faster than the 360 version my bro has it.... on both they kick ass dont think imma sell this game ever

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue came out today in Australia. AU-IGN gave it 8.3. My brother had it pre-ordered I will probably ring him to see what it's like. I'm still pretty amazed that it came out here before U.S, it's usually the other way round isn't it?

i think usually games drop in the US first.

 

[WarEagleAU]

they usually do. However circumstances usually happen where it makes it debut in other places first. Let us know how it plays will ya?

 

[Easy Rhino]

yea, let us know how it is!

 

[Joshmcmillan]

My brother lives about 5 hours from me, but I will ask him and say what he thinks of it. I will get to play it in a few weeks when he comes home, I think it's after U.S. release date though.

I'm playing Formula 1: Championship edition at the moment, I really like it, has anyone else played it?

 

[Joshmcmillan]

I just asked my brother about GT5. He said it's really good, looks good etc.. He said when people try to crash into you they go invisible in online which is good. He said sound is a lot better then other Gran Turismos.

Awesome. . Man the full version of Gran Turismo 5 will be HUGE.

 

[WarEagleAU]

Meh, I dont like Crash Damage. Then you have to spend money fixing it. Pain in the ass really.
