Forums - Sony - I just got a Ps3 this christmas with PS+!

I personally don't love the Xross media bar. It could be a lot faster, and it could look better. I haven't experienced the slow downloads everyone keeps mentioning though. Most of the stuff seems to download at my connection's max speed (and that's saying something, since I download from UK servers mostly - so there's an ocean from me to the servers).

Yea, I don't like that it takes so long to load the symbols/pictures, but I guess that that's probably necessary to cut down it's size and unlock more ram for games.

As for downloads, I never had a problem with that. I always get 10mb/s or 1.2 MB/s which I think is a decent speed (as my top speed is ~1.4 MB/s anyway).

Concentrate on the PS3 exclusives, the multiplats run like shit for the most part. Demons Souls / Dark Souls is a must.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

*about 14 hours, turns out I don't like it, so I traded it back in and got a full refund. Big bummer since I got PS+....

Interesting....what didn't you like about it? That it's made by Sony?


He's lying, theres no way anyone could buy a ps3 and not like it.

I'm pretty sure he's lying, but I can tell you someone that bought a PS3 at launch and didn't like it. Me.

OT: PSN+ is the best value subscription in gaming right now. I might consider getting it for my two Vitas.

The PS3 at launch is very different from the PS3 now though.

 

Congrats on your purchase, get infamous and LBP! :D

I love the PS3 Dashboard. And I love PS+.

That doesnt' make sense. PS3 doesn't have a dashboard.

I agree that PS3 launch is nothing like PS3 now when you talk about quality first party games and PSN+. But when you drop nearly $1,000 on system at launch and it doesn't live up you feel betray and taken advantage of. I'm still bitter about it till this day. Main reason why I might not ever pick up a PS4.

for less than 100bucks you may get a dozen other real great games
the ratchet,jak and dexter,mgs and sly racoon trilogies.(and if some money is left buy either the ico collection journey,unfinished swan,lbp or sound shapes)



Congratz mate! With all the new exclusives on the way you got one at the right time, and how good is PS plus!

Good job! But a couple things to note though, I NEVER sold my Xbox 360, you can't play Fez, Minecraft, Mark of the Ninja, Left 4 Dead 1 + 2, or Trials HD on PS3, I only played Gears 3, which was a demo, and who doesn't love Halo? Quality over Quantity when it comes to exclusives. When I said installation process, i meant actually downloading the games (as i said i wanted to go digital only, and only xbox can deliver), and it's just $5 a month , unless you buy a card that has $10 = 1 month of Gold, (and WHO DOES THAT?) for amazing online service, and I don't have Netflix. By the way, I use an ethernet cable, and when I went to sleep at like 12:00 AM I let the PS3 on and it was downloading Battlefield 3 (12 GB DEMO), and when I woke up at around 9:00 AM...guess what? Still downloading. I use the same connection for Xbox and that much gigabytes can be downloaded in about a quarter of  the time! I didn't even let it finish downloading because by then I had realized I made a mistake. Yes those free games were not my taste, problem? And why doesn't it come with HDMI cables? hmm? Xbox 360 has had em' packed in since 2010. Even my original Xbox 360 model that was like 100 bucks came with HDMI cables!  And NONE of this even matters, cause' it's back on the gamestop shelves, and now I spent the money on better things. Really messy dashboard, too. Still not a troll/fanboy, and this is still my sincere opinion of the system. As a sidenote, I loved my PS2 and bought over 60 games for it.

Minecraft? are you kidding me. Play the PC version, it's a game that my work netbook can run, if these are the kind of games you are playing on your xbox 360 and willing to pay money to get online to do all that, be my guess. Signing out. U do whatever u want with ur money
