so far - love the interface, updating was very easy , beyond the issues set up was incredibly straight forward, unit is sexy, THE UNIT IS HOT NEAR THE VENTS, the unit is silent, the machine is big, the game boxes are cool.

Ridge second track is also from ridge 6 - i'm spotting a pattern here!

Trying Resistance next - will upload photos too

I gotta ask: You impressions of RR7 seemed far more glowing @TGS does 1080p off HDMI make that big of a difference?

seems most likely. Sony has gone EXTRA anal about eveeryone buying a ps3 from their own region, and this seems like a way of locking out NA for a week and Europe till MArch


Which might mean that they'll get rid of the region blocks once it's released to all three major territories.

yes - 1080p makes a MASSIVE difference. In 720p, it's the same as the X360.

Also - RR7 is the -only- 1080p game at launch.

Cool, Thanks.

Looks like I'm springing for a 1080p Bravia sooner rather then later.

again it seems very likely. They have already said DONT IMPORT. this is jsut an extension of that. When will be really interesting is when the first of us get import titles from Japan. Im getting MotorStorm, so I hope its all ok :/
 
Resistance is just as awesome as i remember it being. Very nice indeed. Might take a break, need to wash... and possibly eat something!

the projector supports 720p.



i'm thinking of the 52 inch Bravia next weekend :)

Oh, Dcharlie, my favorite Brit, want to buy me one too? You know, a smaller one would be fine.

;)

I'm so jealous of your PS3 right now.
 
wow - the playstation store is really quite nice... and easy to use, a shame i can't buy stuff, but downloading Blast Factor right now (Demo)

OH hell yeah tell us what thats like. I m not ever sure how you play it from the scrren. I guess this is an impressions thread now : )
 
DCharlie,

How are you connected? component cables, HDMI, or....?

I'm curious if the difference between RR7 @ TGS and now at home is more the 1080p, or if it might be the connection.
 
oh wow - talk about big disappointment :(

i'm hoping the demo is the issue here, it's 3 very short, very easy "cells" - the game lacks any sense of danger, then halts when you get to the 'boss'.

:(

right, need to clean myself up - BREAK TIME.

That seems like the problem there

The demo you mean? Not the actual game? Or does the game suck? Or just what was shown of the game? Or does it not appeal to you aesthetically? Or are you not stimulated visually? Or is something wrong?

(I'm out of fake questions to ask)

This is an issues thread. Stick to the plan. We need to know how bad it gets and you're just the man for the job.

Should make for an interesting GAFcast this week, since you and Kohler can compare notes.

WHY NOT! IT'S GOOD, I LIKE IT!

I got a 52X2000 yesterday. It's fantastic. Fantastic. Be warned though. It comes in a box that is bigger than many Japanese appartments. We had problems finding a taxi van big enough to take it. And it's 69kg boxed. It's still great though.

But no PS3 :-( )
 
I don't know how this comes off, but can we have a thread for general impressions for those of us in the US/Europe interested in buying the system? Threads like this only seem to attract the Sony hating "Massive damage" crowd.
