awesome, nice posts!

Can't wait till we get some confirmed figures & release dates for the new GTR in Aust! It’s eating me up! I want one so bad.

Hmmmm It'd be a nice option if it's true. From what I've read there's going to be 3 versions of the car standard GTR, V Spec, & Evolution. These will be the answer to the 991 range. 911, 911 Turbo, & GT3. It could be possible the Evolution will be developed to have a highly refined racing NA V8 just like the GT3 has its highly refined NA engine. But then again its Nissan, don’t really see them spending a whole heap of money to develop a V8 just for one model.

I'll take one in black

nice one! Looks promising! Can't wait till they release the dam thing here.

eBay has all PS3 consoles, games, & accessories the cheapest you’ll find. It’s good

Good one Yeah I use an internet cable connection with my PS3 too, works excellently. PS Store is good. Downloaded Virtua Tennis last night, looks & plays really well, really easy & catchy. It's a video game my gf will actually play with me so I'll pick up a copy as it’ll be a great 2 player game. I remember when we used to play Virtua Tennis on PS2 at a mates too, good competitive fun.

yes they are, M spec

Yeah agreed, but I think its safe to say we’re going to get some amazing results out of the PS3 with its current market share already, & if it gains more then it’ll be better again. Yeah I agree on Sonys shit marketing for PS3. It might work for Japan but not here. My last post was not entirely directed at you, a lot was just directed to anybody who is simply reading

Is todays console market share overly important to the consumer? No, as a consumer I just want the best product I can buy, so I have a PSP instead of a DS, I have a PS3 instead of a 360. If the PS3s market share never heavily dominates the others then who cares 'besides Sony wanting to make more money'? Their money & backing behind the PS3 is plenty to produce new amazing technology & results. In the future we're only ever going to have more variety & choice when it comes to video gaming so market dominate in percentage form is only ever going to drop for all consoles as more options arise as the market it spread out. Last generation we only had 2 closely battling competitors, the PS2 vs XBOX. Now we have the Wii, 360, & PS3 all highly popular. It comes down to the individual of what they want to play, I chose the PS3 & you don’t see me desperately making an effort to dis the 360 at every opportunity. Marketing does play a huge factor into the success of a system but as a researcher like myself, I can look past the marketing BS & purchase what I think’s best. FFS whingers, stop the b#tching & enjoy your 360 or PS3, they’re there because we have a choice & neither is wrong, one system will just better suited to 1 person than another. The main issue separating people between the 360 & PS3 is the price, for those who can afford a PS3 they’re paying for a technically superior product & the price is to be expected. Personally I think the PS3 is great value because I use it for so much more than just a video gaming system. I use it for PS3 games, I watch Blu Ray movies on it, I go on the web on it, I watch TV shows & Movies on it, it’s an entertainment system, not just a gaming console. For the entertainment it has brought me & will continue to do so for years, it is well worth my money.

Anybody running Linux on their PS3 yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC5BEof-jd8&NR=1 I'm going buy a USB keyboard so I can install YDL, then I'm going to get an external USB HDD, transfer all my movies & TV shows onto it, then hook it up to the PS3 so I can have my entire media collection to view on it Owww & just came across this tasty article http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainm...-ps3-218320.php I think a 500GB external HDD plugged in with Linux on the PS3 will be very nice indeed.

LOL! I just received another copy of Casino Royale on BluRay in the mail! Sony has sent me 2 now. I’m going to put this new copy up on eBay, looks like my PS3 just came down in price a little If anybody else gets 2 copies let us know :sorcerer:

Got Resistance FOM today, good fun! Can’t wait for some games like this in 1080p, Killzone 2 i hope…

Werd I got mine too It looks awesome in 1080p! I've got Gone in 60 Seconds on BluRay too which looks pretty good, not as sharp as Casino Royale though I think. save up for a 1080p screen! so worth it!!

wheres funky mr can fix it monkey

omg this is pretty awesome Home http://digitalurban.blogspot.com/2007/03/p...home-video.html

lol, don't worry about it save your time king k... king kriticism lol

Yes I agree & GT HD does have both better Gameplay & Graphics Wait a year & PS3 should have many games to compare vs 360, PS3 should come out on top as previously mentioned, it won't be a huge difference but it'll still have the upper hand. Can we start a shit fight about Blu Ray vs HD DVD now because Blu Ray is going to kick HD DVDs butt!!

The graphics are new! the 1080p is new! the wireframe modelling for everything on screen is new! The physics is new! If you don't think playing GT HD on a true 1080p screen is amazing well you may as well just be a negative party pooper about everything for the rest of your life. It’s a sad condition to only focus on the negative points when there are so many positives. Lets take your favourite game, lets say it is Virtua Fighter 5 for example, lets say VF6 comes out in 5 years & the technology is so good that it’s real, it actually looks real, would you still be bitching about VF6 being sh#t & it has nothing new except the graphics? If you don’t care for graphics then there’s a pacman game out there awaiting you, you must be content with playstation 1 graphics for the rest of your life right? Shout out to all gamer developers: fire all employees working in the graphics & realism division, we’ve just received word that kralster doesn’t care about graphics, he does not consider graphic improvements to be considered as new, our direction has been wrong all along, lets get back to work on improving Gran Turismo on playstation 1 now that we know kralster doesn’t care about graphics.

Wikipedia & other sites, simple google search. It's the total CPU processing speed. Oww & don’t give any weak excuses about the new cell CPU being too hard to program for, sure it maybe be difficult in the beginning but anything is when you have to learn something new, with time they’ll master it. Then for the next generation there’ll be something different again, & then they’ll have to adapt & utilise that technology, it’s just the evolution of computers really. I’ll agree the launch could have been better but I wouldn’t call it weak, GT HD is fair f'ing impressive! looking forward to games 1 year down the road. I found this pretty interesting on the Cell processor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_microprocessor

Anybody running an extra OS on their PS3? I'm looking into the options now.

PlayStation 3 CPU speed: 22.4 GHz Overall CPU performance: 204 gigaflops Xbox 360 CPU speed: 9.6 GHz Overall CPU performance: 115.2 gigaflops Give it a year & they’ll be creating much more amazing results with the new cell processor in the PS3, it's only early days.

really... that’s strange. Professional reviewers online seem to say quite the opposite.

ASM: OFF Traction Control: 0 (Off) FW: Racing 3s RW: Racing 3s You definitely need ASM & TC off for drift, it may feel a little hard at first but you'll need to get used to it. Also go into Rankings & watch the replays of the top scorers, it'll give you an idea of what lines to take & when to rip the handbrake up. Personally I like to use the ‘front bar’ camera instead of behind the vehicle, when using the front bar camera it’s easier to notice how the car behaves & corners, also good for using sensitive movements with the analogue stick. Also if you’re not using the hand brake you should be, I hand brake to start the drift into every corner so that I’m sliding sideway a little bit before I reach the corner then try to full throttle drift it all the way through & out, this is the trickiest bit trying to get the right line sideways on full throttle all the way through the corner. More scores peoples!!

Think you're going to have to have another crack at making #1 again coz you're no longer in the top 10. PS: what's the deal with the advertisement for Yahoo Japan in your sig?
