MAG - Don't care.
Infamous - Has potential.

R & C - Not my thing but it should look nice at least.
The Show - Possible buy,extended rental at least.
Agency - I'd have to play a demo or beta first. I signed up for it long ago.
Africa - Hope it comes soon.
X-Edge - Yes.
Free Realms - Probably not.
GT 5 - Yup.
Eye Pet - Umm no.
Savage Moon - Nah.
Fat Princess - Hellz yah.
Flower - I'll buy it.
Noby Noby Boy - No.
Punisher - Online only? No
Rag Doll Fung-Fu - Possible.

No one can be Batman I think. The game is about making your own hero or villain and siding with characters like Batman or the Joker.

Isn't Punisher being released on the PSN store? Also, might be a newbie statement but I didn't know you could download full games off of PSN Store. Has anyone actually done that here?

Yeah! I'm pretty sure more than a handful of folks have downloaded NFL Head Coach on here. As for myself, I've downloaded Burnout Paradise. The only downside is the lengthy download, but it can be done in the background now: you can play other games while it is downloading.

Playing games while downloading, is that only if you're downloading full games? because I tried downloading a demo and it would always stop when I pop a game in. How long does it usually take to download a full game? is it worth it? I only have the 20gig and pretty sure it would be a hdd eater if I download a full game.

Hmm, okay... I guess the background downloading might not work with games on disk, so I might be mixed up for the 360, so I hope someone can correct me. I know for sure the file type doesn't matter: demos, movies, full games, addons, whatever.

For Burnout, I've left it on overnight so I can't give you an exact time. As for worth, I guess it depends on how much you prize convenience. I mean if you can find the game cheaper at a store, it may be better to save money (and drive space) by getting the hard copy. On the other hand, you get faster loading times and you don't have to get up and insert a disc every time you want to play the game!

give or take about a hour depending on the size.. but 20 gig depending what else you do with your ps3 i wouldn't even bother.. i have 500gb. and have burnout paradise , and NFl head coach , Warhawk , Socom and i like not having to mess with a disk. but i have that much space cause i also have bluray movie on HDD also.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

I believe background downloading doesn't work when the game you're playing has online functions at all times. So, playing something like LBP will pause your background downloads whereas Uncharted will not.

Wow, that's lame. I understand why they do that though, but they should at lease let you play a game that has online functions, offline.

I think signing out of PSN will do the trick. I can't recall how accurate this is but at times when I get accidentally signed out of PSN and choose not to sign back in (due to laziness), my background downloads resume.

Try it out for yourself to see if it works.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Never mind the dust but... am I asking for trouble keeping my PS3 in a cabinet like this? I was asking around and people tell me their PS3 fans rarely turn on but mine seems to turn it up a notch after about 45 minutes of play

**Pared** · 01-09-2009, 11:50 AM

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

At least keep that area wiped down regularly. That dust is just getting sucked into the PS3.

will do.. also.. would it be better if i took the top shelf off and just stood the 360 and PS3 next 2 one another? You think that would help?

Yep... that's how I have mine. The system is almost designed to do it that way because the exhaust fan will act like a chimney.

That is just TOO confined if ya ask me. until you can relocate your PS3, i'd put it out on a table...otherwise your just askin' for trouble.
