You are on Season 2 now. You will likely change your mind by the end of this season. I know I only watched it until it ended simply because it was on after Chuck.

Well you were right, what started great has kinda fizzled. I just began Season 3 but I won't do another marathon again...
 
Quick one for the US PS3 users. Is there a way to find the netflix on my US account or isn't that possible?

It should be under the "Video" section, if not look in the "Whats New" part. It may just be impossible for you though as you need a valid US address.

That's what i needed to know. Thank you Justin :)👍

And unless you had a Netflix account you wouldn't be able to use it anyway. It is a pay service.
 
How much does Gamestop pay for used PS3s? I only ask because I was cruising on Craigslist and I keep seeing Slims for like $120 with dozens of games or whatever. My business sense is tingling about buying them up and dumping them on eBay or something.
 
That's lame. I guess I'm going to have to track down a Japanese PS2, except they are stupidly expensive. Thanks for the reply though.

Looking to play your imported GT games? Then this is your only option.

But Japanese games in general, they started putting imports on PSN.
 
I wouldn't mind playing them but there are other games put there I'd like to have. Playing the PS and PS2 games over the past couple days really showed me that new generation consoles don't have the same magic.

Guess I need to find a Japanese PS2 somewhere. I just don't want to drop $250 on one though.
 
My PS3 broke, just 10 days before GT5.
When I turn it in on a yellow light apears instead of the green light and the power lasts for 3sec then it turns off again. Does anbody know what the yellow light means??

Yep, Synwraith already suggested that to me, but if they don't have the bundle on the 24th her in Slovenia I'll just buy the PS3 and GT5 seperatlly.

P.S. If it's not aproblem Spy, I would like to add you on my PSN friends list for some online racing in GT5? :dopey:

Hi fellas. I'm preparing for GT5 and headphones are the only things missing. Any suggestions for good headphones for the PS3?

Thanks in advance.
 
Shifting the discussion a bit, I wanted to see if anybody here had any experience using a USB hub with their PS3.

I had an extra USB hub lying around and decided to put it to use with the PS3. I have my G27 plugged into port 1 and I alternate between a USB keyboard and the PS3 Eye in port no. 2. The keyboard I'm using is an old Mac keyboard that has the additional benefit of 2 empty USB ports on the keyboard itself so I can also recharge my ear piece and controller. But I was a bit dismayed to realize that neither the keyboard nor the PS3 eye work when plugged into the hub, either together or individually.

I did a brief Google search and it seems like it should work. Has anybody else had issues or have any ideas?

Seeing as no one else chimed in, although this is late in coming, hopefully it will help you out:

Sounds like you have a non powered USB hub. Powered USB hubs cost a little more, and of course have a power cord that needs to be plugged into an outlet.

You might want to check out Monoprice as they not only have a wide selection of USB hubs, but they are also very reasonably priced.
 
PS3 has been out selling Wii's recently. Of course, the 360 is still outselling the PS3, but I'm happy to see the Wii beginning to decline. It's era is over. I just wonder when the 360's lead will begin to shrink. Most likely when they come up with a new console and completely stop all support for the 360.

:odd:

Despite the full year head start, at the very least the PS3 is on track to exceed the 360 in worldwide sales by the end of the year, although some sources claim total PS3 sales already have exceeded 360 sales:

The only region where the 360 leads the PS3 in sales is in the US, which isn't hard to understand considering MS influence in its home marketplace... although the margin of difference is less than 2:1.

For similar reasons, the PS3 has outsold the 360 in Japan by more than 5:1, and over the last year by more than 10:1.

So I guess you need not wonder any longer about when the 360's lead will begin to shrink as it started to shrink back in 2007 and has been shrinking ever since. ;)
 
Well then, MS is lying about their sales and paying off the NPD group...or Gamespot.

Possibly... but if you are only going by NPD numbers, they ONLY track North American sales, not worldwide sales, so perhaps that's why you may have been mislead.

When the PS3 came out, the 360 had something like a 6 million sales lead, which it held onto throughout 2007. It is currently something like 3 and a half.
 
Got home this evening to discover that my PS3 is no longer able to detect discs :nervous:

Just in time for GT5 coming out... although I will miss the release date anyway, since I am on holiday next week. I'm currently backing everything up and will try a system restore once that is finished...

IIRC Floats had the same problem which was fixed by a new blu-ray laser for £40 that he fitted himself.
