Support NeoGAF

Woke up this morning, booted up the Timeshift online multiplayer demo (PS3) for the first time, had fun. Noticed it had in-game XMB (which I mentioned in an earlier thread), which was a nice surprise. (Note - you have to delete the old demo from your HDD in order to successfully install this newer build)

Saw some friends log in to PSN from within Timeshift, so I jumped to XMB and invited them all to a Video Conference. After chatting and goofing around for 15 minutes or so, we decided we wanted to all get together and play something, so we decided on Burnout Paradise demo, which we had all downloaded already for free.

In less than 30 seconds, we were online in a 4 man group, burning through the streets of Paradise City trying to complete all the challenges and pulling off insane stunts and just plain having a lot of fun.

After we were finished about an hour later, I stuck in NHL 08 and played a couple quick Shootouts online, and finished things off with a game against a pleasant fellow I met in one of the lobbies.

All the while, in every game, voice chat worked flawlessly, I experienced no lag at any point during my entire time online, and I met some cool folks.

Yeah... damn that PSN, it sure does suck.

Keep up the good work Sony.

 

[Roxas]

I was sure this was going to be a Soprano's thread.

Oh well...

 

[∀ Narayan]

Wow dude! Great story! You should write books, or become a journalist!

YOUR ARE SUPER COOL!

 

[Eric P]

and you got how much for this thread?

is it based on views or comments?

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

And PSN is free???????????????? AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Didn't you already make this thread?

 

[Alex P]

Good sir, it seems apparent to me that you have a predilection toward the Sony PlayStation 3 home video gaming console. Is this in fact the actuality of the situation?

 

[mood]

i care

 

[Dibbz]

Wait what are you talking about?

You used Voice chat the entire time whilst playing all these games? This is the XMB voice chat right?

Were you the guy who made the timeshift xmb stuff thread? :/

 

[UncleGuito]

Kaz, is that you?

 

[Greatness Gone]

You know what would be kinda cool? A Watchmen game made my LucasArts during their adventure years + Alan Moore closely watching it!

That would be so fucking awesome.

 

[steve]

hehe nah, just wanted to post a nice story about how much I enjoyed the system today.

It's all too often that the only thing people feel inclined to post about are poor experiences, I find it nice to post positive stuff every now and then as well.

It's all about balance.

 

[Pharmacy]

[Kandrick]

Wow, i am totally going to order a PS3 right now, it just sound so amazing.

Hmmm I don't have any messages. Where'd you send it?

 

[FFChris]

I wish other console services were as good as this!

 

[yankeeforever2]

So that banned site was right about there being hired Sony supporters on this site!!!!!!Neogaf has been taken over abort abort!!!!

 

[DarkAngelYuna]

Except it's free.

Yes, but our $50 a year gets us stuff YEARS in advance. Worth it.

 

[Sapiens]

...with a painful piss filled erection.


And I was thankful.

Thank-you, Lord.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

You've been on a roll with these threads lately.

 

[Pharmacy]

[Tr4nce]

Do I love your love for the PSN? Yes.

Do I love your thread? No.

 

[KTallguy]

Yes, but our $50 a year gets us stuff YEARS in advance. Worth it.

I was playing multiplayer games for free YEARS before Xbox Live was a twinkle in Bill Gates' eye.

Oh and for free, doncha know.

 

[Yoshichan]

Wow, i am totally going to order a PS3 right now, it just sound so amazing.

:lol

 

[DarkAngelYuna]

I was playing multiplayer games for free YEARS before Xbox Live was a twinkle in Bill Gates' eye.

And that has nothing to do with ingame xmb cheapass

 

[Wes]

Was really hoping this was going to be a gaming rant sung in a blues stylee.

 

[painey]

steve you're one in a million, 'coz you got that shotgun shine.

 

[MCD]

i was expecting a 3 rrod thread.

[steve]

You've been on a roll with these threads lately.

Forgot how it's only acceptable to post stuff like "Why does Sony's online strategy suck so hard?" or "Sony made such a huge mistake not packaging a headset in with the PS3".

God forbid someone post that they are enjoying their system.

No matter, nothing to see here, carry on.

 

[Ventrue]

Except it's free.

Welcome to PC games many years ago.

Lets see when consoles finally get to outsourced dedicated servers.

 

[Quazar]

This thread and it's posts are awesome. Keep going folks.

 

[Dragon]

Yes, but our $50 a year gets us stuff YEARS in advance. Worth it.

I don't agree.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

I'm not a big supporter of Sony, but I agree with you. It's nice to hear good experiences every now and then.

 

[besada]

Great, now we're going to have to read about the joys of XBL and then the Ninthings are going to want to discuss their shiny friend codes.

Think of the children.

 

[BobsRevenge]

For some reason I clicked on this link expecting something related to The Kinks song "Complicated Life".

Well I woke this morning with a pain in my neck,
A pain in my heart and a pain in my chest,
I went to the doctor and the good doctor said,
You gotta slow down your life or youre gonna be dead,
Cut out the struggle and strife,
It only complicates your life.

Oh, The Kinks. How I do love thee.

Anyways, yeah, the PSN is good but games need to take advantage of it, we need in-game XMB, yada yada yada.

 

[Bonerville High]

NHL 08 and some demos? This is living!

You had to know what reaction you'd get. Positivity on a message board forum is frowned upon, but saying something positive about PSN is just ripe for a trollfest.

"Well, first I got up and had a piece of toast. Then I brushed my teeth. Then I went to the store to buy some fish..."

 

[robot]

timeshift...ewwwwwwww

Glad to see your enjoying psn, my experience is pretty much the exact opposite since only one of my friends owns a ps3. We do have a similiar blast on 360, so everybody wins (except wii)

 

[Quazar]

Cold :lol

I was sure this was going to be a Soprano's thread.

Oh well...

Oh, so I wasn't the only one.

Woke up this morning...[/QUOTE]
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
And it's good for me and it's good to me
My baby ohhh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling, I need Sexual Healing

You have my apologies, but that thread is massive, I haven't been able to keep constant track of everything being posted in there. It's a monster, a monster I tells ya!

 

[LukeSmith]

I get the feeling I've read this before.

 

[Gowans]

Steve?

Honestly, when do people really have a go at PSN on here? I haven't seen a lot of it.

People aren't negative towards PSN, they just say the XBL service is better.. as it should be, because it costs £40 a year!
