Whos Buying A Ps3

[Beer Baron]

i'm sorry, but wipeout is gay.

[geno8r]

+1 for the WipeOut love. I've been waiting for a new WipeOut game for ages. I own WipeOut Pure on PSP..... but I don't have a PSP! (yet). If they do announce a PS3 version, I just couldn't say no.

Owww yeah! I read that Wipeout for PS3 has been confirmed so cannot wait! Will be so insane for sure, every wipeout game has been awesome & only ever bettered the previous.

i'm sorry, but wipeout is gay.

Not loving wipeout would make you the gay one

On another note, bought me a 42” 1080p LCD from JB HiFi today :D!!!

Only problem is I do not get it until Tuesday / Wednesday due to stock delivery. They hooked up a PS3 to the display one at JB & OMG..., it’s going to be the best gaming experience ever Going to mount it on my wall @ the end of my bed. Gaming in bed, Blue Ray movies in bed, owwwwww yeah I'll feel similar to those rockstars on MTV cribs who having big LCDs popping out at the end of their bed

nice work. what brand, and what price could they do for it? PS3 on a 1080p lcd is tha shizzle. no doubt about it.

[Kaido_RR]

i play my ps3 on just a normal tv LOL and i still love it! im hoping to go out and buy a HDTV sometime in the near future!

[R3LOAD]

I have a similar setup geno8r, except mine is a 32" HD LCD, right at the end of my bed hehe Its nice playing and surfing the web on a BIG screen from the comfort of your bed.

My brother is staying with me for the week so this week instead of the PS3 being hooked up to a standard tv through sony surround sound it is hooked up to a projector and sony surround sound..... DAMN THE PICTURE IS BIG

If wipeout fusion on PS2 is compatible to be played on the PS3, I'm so going to buy that game, always thought wipeout was one of the best games sony had & nobody else ever got! Excellent graphics, awesome music from famous DJs, & how could you ever forget the speed! :| that sh#t will give you epilepsy!

other consoles got wipeout too although not since fusion

Playstation 3 on 42" 1080p is blowing my mind. I’ve got it in a dark bedroom at the end of my bed with the lights off & it’s just like a theatre!! Couldn’t believe I actually felt like I was in a theatre in my own bedroom, always thought the ‘home theatre’ term was just an exaggeration, now I understand home theatre So happy with my recent purchases, worth the dough for the entertainment for sure.

I don't know what's more incredible... the graphics & realism of GT HD, or the fact that we live in a age were a common man can purchase a video game system & experience racing simulations so close to life just for his amusement… just to kill time, pretty incredible really. Image if it was the old days & all we had was a f#cking ball in the cup game.

GT HD is very fun racing & drifting but isn’t all just about the racing, they’ve put a lot of effort into the car display viewing, this is enough to have you dreweling for hours, the detail to exterior & interior is incredible. Then there’s the replays, I’ve sat there for 30 mins just watching the title screen run random demo replays. If you enjoy watching motor sport on TV, you’ll actually appreciate the demo replays in this game! That’s how good they are.

By the time Playstation 4 comes out they’ll have realism conquered for video game consoles no doubt about it, they’re about 90% there now which is incredible to watch & experience.

I stress that if you have a PS3 or going to buy one, budget in $$$$ for a 1080p LCD screen too if you don’t already have one as anything under this resolution just will not do the PS3 justice. The console was designed for True HD & that’s what is should run with.

720p, not good enough, although still very impressive, 1080p FTW.

in gthd do you race with incar view or behind car view? something I noticed when playing tonight is the audio track is different between the two. Test it out on the R32 GTR.

[kralster]

hahaahah GT is so unrealistic it's dumb.

Like i've said before you barrell towards a rope fence at 200 kmph and people just stand there clapping.

That doesn't seem very realistic to me.

Yeah and 720P isn't good enough, but more than half of the games on the console only run at 720P or lower. Nice one sony.

Don't get me wrong i am at heart a sony fanboy but the console is yet to prove itself, expect in blue ray movies.

Ummm how long has the PS3 been out for?? Under a year! Like you can expect games to be running at their 100% capability yet. 1080p is a bit of a jump so it doesn't surprise me most are 720p so far, that will change though.

Stop being a negative nancy kralster, are you honestly going to tell me that if you bought a PS3 you’d be disappointed with it!? I don’t know how you could be, sure it’s not perfect but what f#cking is, it’s a huge leap over the last console, appreciate it for what it is!

Yeah, the audio is different in all cars between the views, they're simply trying to make the sounds sound realistic in relation to the view position. Sounds awesome & I wouldn't complain at all, but GTR 2 on PC probably has the best video game car sounds I've heard, screaming MC12 engine... owwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaah.

[Beer Baron]

you still didn't tell me which LCD you bought? very curious, and what do you think of it?

Soniq QSL420T 42" DVB-T LCD TV

1080p with built in HD TV

Contrast Ratio 1200:1

Brightness 500nits

Response Time 6.5ms

I think it's amazing! & so do my peers who see it in action, incredible product for the money. Soniq doesn't produce their own LCDs so the panel will be out of an LG or Samsung or something, I really don't know for this model. It looks great so that's all I care

[ali-turko]

can i ask how much u payed for it buddy im guna buy a decent tv as soon as i get my ps3

[Whyallapunk]

My dad just bought a Sony Bravia X series LCD. 1080p, true HDMI, 46inch, 1920x1080 pixels When I get my PS3 its going to look rad as!

http://www.cnet.com.au/tvs/lcd/0,239035307,240091742,00.htm

Here the link, its truely the best TV i have ever seen. PS3 here i come!!!

[geno8r]

I got mine for $2500 at JB HiFi with 5 years warranty. Incredible product & deal for the money, I did talk the sales guy down a couple hundred so you may have to too.

A Sony screen like Whyallapunk dad's is very nice no doubt about it, but when you compare the thousands of dollars difference, I could never purchase a Sony LCD screen unless I was very rich or somehow got a very VERY good deal. Some argue that the Sony screens are actually too bright as well.

When I was shopping for my new 1080p screen the Soniq was 42" & 6.5ms response time, the Sony was a little smaller at 40", a little slower at 8ms, & a lot more expensive at $4200 'with standard 1 yr warranty'. Go figure...

[R3LOAD]

The problem with 1080p is that even though the graphics will undoubtably look sharper and better than a 720p game, 720p has a better frame refresh rate than 1080p, and always will (on our current tv's atleast). So i think we'll find most games will only go up to 720p on PS3, with the few exceptions.

Not true.

720p & 1080p both run 60 FPS.

You may be mistaking 1080p with 1080i or even 720i, if theres 'i' it's interlaced & means half the frame rate of progressive scan pretty much due to it taking 2 frames to produce one complete frame, do a search on interlacing for more info. 'p' is progressive & depending on the game, 50 or 60 FPS. Always depends on the source, movies are only around 24 FPS. 1080p screens certainly can display 60 FPS from PS3 1080p games.
