The Next Hang Out: <insert nintendo here>

[Pickles]

Racing games are so much better on 360 (Lovely controller).

Forza 4.
Gears of War 3.
F1 2011.

Gears of war 3 is a racing game?

[Gypsy]

I play my PS3 every day.

It's not my favourite JRPG, of that I'm sure %))))))))))))

This is why I never play mine either. :/ It gets used as a cheap Blu Ray/DVD player/media center.

Are Blu-Ray players with avi/mkv playback via usb more expensive than PS3 consoles where you are?

PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles are relatively expensive here (as many people would probably know already).......but there are Blu-Ray players for less than $150.
The one I have cost $100.......and it even has the same laser unit as the old PS3.

Ah yeah playing movies on the Xbox is more of a hassle.

If I switched to 360 anyway I'd still be keeping the PS3, but no doubt all non-exclusive games would be sold.

The only PS3 game coming out this year getting me excited is Uncharted 3. For once, I'm more excited about the 360's exclusives.

None of the exclusives on either console grab me all that much anymore. When I chose the PS3 it was mostly because everyone's 360 kept breaking. Plus I wanted to play Uncharted, MGS4 and LA Noire, but out of those three, one was shit and a second went multi-platform. Demon's Souls is fun though. I definitely want to play more of that when I can stop sucking at it.

When I first got the PS3 I didn't have a current gen console and it was only slightly more expensive than a standalone Blu Ray player. Plus PS3 Media Server is a godsend, I just run it on the computer and it transcodes and streams everything over wi-fi. It's almost worth buying one for that programme alone.

I get the picture.......plenty of people bought PS3 consoles over here initially because they were a good deal compared to Blu-Ray players at the time (plus they play games of course).

But........you use your PC and your PS3 together to do the job my $100 player does with an external drive?

You could sell your console (with games), buy a Blu-Ray player and have money left over for like HD porn or something

[Zaladane]

WTF.

uh, nevermind.

/tired

also Melbourne Australia has been voted the most livable city in the world. Vancouver fell to 3, poo

I'll probably do that eventually, but the really cool thing about PS3 Media Server is it transcodes movies on the fly if they aren't in a compatible format. It converts everything to H.264 and streams it.

[Inferno.]

The reason I don't want to play anything is because I have so many games.

I think I should just buy: complete: sell on.

[deadlegion]

I heard about that.Melbourne doesn't seem much better than it was, but I've always disliked large cities.I can only assume the rest of the list has slid towards third world conditions

Sounds pretty nifty, any hardware requirements for the software? or will it work ok on anything fairly recent with no multi-tasking going on?

TVersity does the same, except it converts it to MPEG.
