HD would be nice.
Best news ever! Trophies would be nice too.
I'm not bothered since I still have my PS2 to play them, but it's good for those who haven't played them.
Excellent news.
Why bother just make a new one! All the same crap over and over, I hate those games.
The Darkness 2 demo is apparently up on PSN.
For the last week or so I've been unable to see my friends list on PSN. It just shows my name and nothing underneath. My online is working fine so I've no idea why it's happening.
Any suggestions?

Everyone's deleted you.
Last couple of times I've tried updating the FIFA rosters has caused by PS3 to completely freeze. I've had to restart it and on both occassons I'm getting a message telling me it's going to do some check to make sure the harddrive has not been corrupted.
Anyone know if this is a problem caused by FIFA's servers (nothing serious) or is there something wrong with my PS3 and it's beginning to die?

I have had that happen to me many times, it hasn't affected my ps3 at all. How old is your ps3?
2 years. It's still insured for 8 more months so if it's going to die then so be it, I'm more concerned I'll lose my game saves.
Mine is around the same age, is your hard drive nearly full?
If you suspect its getting near death just backup your save files on a usb stick now and again.
Nope, got about 100gb free.
Will do that. I usually do a backup of the PS3 every few months onto an external harddrive but apparently some game saves are copy protected so cannot be backed up.
So, before Dual Shock 3 arrived in Europe I bought one from Hong Kong. 25 Quid, arrived within a week, cheaper than a sixaxis, brilliant. Now every PS3 controller seems to be around 35-45 quid and the only cheap ones from Hong Kong appear to be fakes. So I began to suspect that I had been conned all those years ago.
Except I haven't, my Dual Shock is perfect, works perfectly even though its been through the wars, is responsive, and has none of the cosmetic flaws that the fakes on youtube do.
So why do Playstation controllers cost so much? 5 Controllers cost as much as the system itself.

Probably because they're all wireless with in built batteries, bluetooth connectable, and built like brick shit houses.
Really unless you treat them horrendously bad, they'll last the entire life of a console and even then some. Some people are still using DS2 from 2004 on their ps3's.

I really hope the Shenmue HD rumours are true and we get some confirmation soon enough. If it sold well enough it might force Sega's hand into making some more.
It's ages since I played my PS3 so I might be wrong but don't they have tilt sensors inside them as well?
Well yeah, but they are a bit shit. I don't know why they even implemented it to be honest with you.
Those sensors cost nothing. The reason they cost so much is to make a profit. Console sold at a loss -> Games and accessories sold with a high margin.
@Weaste, when is Left4Dead coming out on the ps3
It isn't I don't think.
Why? I mean obviously at the time of being made Steam was very anti PS3, but now they are buddies, is it just that they don't want to retrospectively do such an old game?
Anyone enjoying any recent demos?...Tried out Raymans new 3D demo...So so but I found it a bit confusing, perhaps a gimmick to profit from the success of Origins?
It's just too old I think to start porting it.
New model incoming.
When? That looks beautiful!!
I think i'll buy one of those since mines getting a bit long in the tooth

poctures lol
It's far more likely to look like the real thing than some shitty camera-phone shots of pre-production units. I don't like any of it anyway, I've always said that I'd prefer them to simply stick the thing in a hi-fi separates case.
Lack of airflow inflets on that pre production unit is a bit worrying.
Probably a holiday release? I need a new one anyways, that would be tempting if priced right.
Should be released in around one month. Nobody knows if it's a typo or not, but the base model is pegged in at being 16GB, which would mean a flash memory based unit with the option to add an HDD if you want. Might not sound a lot, but one of the original models was 20GB - it is possible for such a console to work, maybe for less than 150 quid.
Will I want to buy this or not? What exactly does it do differently?
On a side note, is there anything I can use my PS2 for? It's been in my cupboard for 3 years now.

Most likely nowt, it's a cost revision to make it cheaper to produce and sell at a lower price.
Yeah, play games with it. It's what it was designed for in the first place.
DVD player.
I don't have any games I want to play on it. I got the PS3 versions.
I'm thinking of donating it to an orphanage or summat but they'd probably laugh at me for being out of date.
