I find Home pretty average so far. I got into the beta just before it went public and got all the free stuff There is room for improvement, and it is still a beta so hopefully Sony make those improvements.

Go ahead and add me.

+1

 

[jtickner1]

+1

Ha, I'm sure many will agree. I think it's unfair that Sony are copping so much **** over Home as if it's a finished product. Yes they have taken their sweet time with Home but it is still in beta and I think people need to realise this.
I think Home will be much better when they get the game themed rooms up and running.

 

[BMfan]

All one can do is hope

 

[hamas123]

Go ahead and add me.

i sent you a friend request accept it and we'll be on each others lists

i dont have one but im looking in to one

now i heard it has 6 cpus and such is there any lag or heat issues from that or no (so i know weather to keep it in the cold basement or upstairs in the heat)

Don't worry. It'll be fine in the heat. Sony didn't build it so you are forced to play in a cold environment.

 

[BMfan]

Don't worry about it,i have played with mine in ambient temp's of about 30 degrees and up and so far no problems.
The only thing i have done is that i have opened it and sanded the surface of the heatsink and replaced the thermal paste.

No bad issues for me and it has a very low failure rate

 

[hynesy]

Yeah, the product is very well made, I live in Australia so it gets very hot here, upwards of 35 degrees Celsius on some days and there is no problems with heat.

 

[omegafate]

just out of curiosity

does the ps3 weigh more than the 360

i never held a ps3 but played one

 

[hynesy]

The PS3 is quite heavy, heavier then the 360.

 

[omegafate]

damn

interesting

so is it true u dont have to pay to play

and did home ever come out for it or is it buged

sorry for these question im tryin to figure this all out

 

[hynesy]

No problem, Playstation network is free to play games, communicate etc. The Playstation Home is currently in BETA, I haven't used it, but I have been told its buggy, but it is a BETA remember.

 

[BMfan]

I had a xbox at my house yesterday and it doesn't feel aswell made as the PS3 and it's loud,i heard the 360 over my pc which has nine 120mm fans.
Home is aliright,there's not that much to do there.

 

[omegafate]

thats cool

now i heard they also cut off backward compatibility ot original ps games is that true

cuz i know there are some that play both ps2 and of course ps3

 

[BMfan]

The new 80 and 160 gig one's don't play PS2 game's and i think the old 40gig model
This should help you with any info you need-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3

 

[LNCPapa]

The chart on BM's link is exactly what you're looking for on PS2 compatibility. Systems with the Emotion Engine will have the best backward compatibility - unfortunately you can't buy that version anymore. Sony removed this feature to help cut costs in attempts to be more competitive with Nintendo and MS.
Just like hyn said Home is pretty boring - I've logged into it a couple of times and my 4 year old was really interested, but I wasn't after 5 or so minutes. Hopefully as it comes out of beta it will get better.

 

[omegafate]

damn that sux

cuz i would like to have played ff7 and dmc on it

other than that i buy some games that look interesting

like haze,resistance,mgs4,and metal storm


hmm thanx for the info and for links

if i have more ill sure to be around again lol XD

 

[jtickner1]

Omega, All PS3s are backward compatible with PS1 software. Final Fantasy VII will work.

 

[omegafate]

cool

hmm im gonna have to look in to it deeper than cuz im trying to decide on some things cuz of money restraints


but ill more than likely get a ps3
