Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 interview

Well I must say now that they added not only ayane, but momiji, 2 new bosses AND an online coop mode, this will pretty hard to pass up, still I hope they add this as DLC for the 360 version aswell, I mean they should be able to.

And for the person that neg repped me with "pfft. live with it. with everything microsoft steals, allow others to steal from them."
Uhm why didn't just post that in here? So you know, we could have an intelligent discussion? I guess thats too much too ask from gotwoot nowadays.

Something tells me it's Stitch, but I think DS just dissed all of GW in general.

[Stitch]

In the words of Shaggy, it wasn't me.

If I wanted to say something, I'd flame and troll the shit out of you.

Anyway, if online co-op is something you can just patch in with DLC, that would be great. I know a bunch of games I'd like that to happen to.

[Animeniax]

Sounds like stitch's work to me. He brings this place down a notch with his juvenile antics and PS3 fanboyism.

X360 for LIFE!!!!!

[Stitch]

The irony of your entire post seems to be lost on you.

That's an all too common occurrence with you.

Uncharted 2 Multiplayer Beta Acess with inFAMOUS Purchase

This news has me hyped, because I loved the first Uncharted and now they're adding multiplayer.

Also

Reserve inFAMOUS and receive a code that unlocks the GameStop exclusive Gigawatt Blades Power. With electric blades extending from his wrists, a single blow annihilates any foe and transforms Cole's hands into instruments of sheer destruction.

Can't wait for inFAMOUS and the UC2 beta.

So, last week I was wondering wether I would by a PS3 or not.
Strange... because I'm not interrested in playing at all.
But I thought this could be a nice media station with PlayTV that decodes DVB-T HD streams (TV for short), its blu-ray abilities and relatively low prices for all of those functions as opposed to other products. Another bonus was the ergonomics of use and polished interface.
But all of that was put to a halt because:
A PS3 is too noisy for me
PlayTV isn't able to record HD streams yet.

I guess that in time the HD recording will be available.
Regarding noise, Maybe someday we'll have a slim PS3 when the cell RSX processor goes 45nm, as well as the gpu and other parts.

I'll wait and see if there's any announcement in E3
Anyhow, I'm not that eager too.
Flat screens get cheaper by the day, even for some with more than enough qualities for me.
The only thing is I also want a media station/tank with nice ergonomics and polished interface, reliabilty and blu-ray without being more expensive than the flatscreen itself. Maybe I'm asking for too much.

Huh? I don't know where you got the noisy part from, but my PS3 makes absolutely no sound whatsoever. My 360 on the other hand, is quite the beast.

well maybe I was unlucky when at friends to hear the fan being quite noisy for my tastes.
It's all the more a problem if someday PlayTv can record in HD and I need to record things at night, in my bedroom. I have a low tolerance for noise. That could explain why I pinpointed that.

Also, the other benefit of waiting is that SSD will continue to get cheaper and cheaper. So by the time the PS3 does all I want, I might be able to put a SSD inside to not even hear a disk spinning (at night again) and supress the last moving part, other than the optical drive of course.

[darkshadow]

Ofcourse the ps3 makes sound, but it should be so low that it gets drowned out by other sounds easily, like from a tv. An xbox 360 should be a lot louder since the drive spins at 12x ( its like a pc drive).
Seriously, perhaps your friends ps3 is gathering too much dust or something, getting too hot and thus making the fan work harder.


TEST
I just tested it, and my Wii actually makes more sound then my ps3, its so low that its practically inaudible with any other source of sound in the vicinity.

[Buffalobiian]

My PS3 is pretty noisy by my standards as well.

[Xelbair]

My quiet PC is much more noisy than ps3, and i always have it on while playing on PS3 - i use it at Digital to analog audio converter.

[David75]

By my standards, the PS3 is noisy, at least the 2 or 3 ones I've heard.
Once you use it with playTV, or game, for some time, the fan(s) will eventually start getting louder.
Since I plan to use it as a media station that records TV at night, I'd rather have it to be dead silent, because I can hear my watch tick in another room at night... That's how I am

To me the ideal would be passive cooling PS3 with SSD drive and PlayTV that actually records HD DVB-T, but that's a bit too demanding it seems.

[Nadouku]

My PlayStation 3 barely makes any sound, even when playing games for extended periods of time. It really drowns out when you're playing games or watching movies on it.

[Buffalobiian]

I hear mine whenever I turn it on, I think. Haven't touched it for a while though, so I might just check it out this weekend. A vacuum clean is needed too, I think.

[darkshadow]

You guys must live in incredibly dusty rooms or something, ps3 is a dust collecter and if you don't clean it ( or have a dust sucking pc like me ;P), its going to run hotter.
Because the ps3 should be very very silent, even my ps2 makes more noise.... and it doesn't even have a fan!

And david wow you can hear your watch in another room =O, that's super human hearing right there.

At night yes, the ones that actually have needles of course

And my remarks are for a specific use: recording TV at night, when I try to sleep.

In that case, the most humble fan will be noticed, any harddrive with platters, some transformers when they're not good quality.

Of course when you play games sound turned on, you should'nt hear your PS3 unless there's a problem

There's also a new Gundam game coming for PS3 called Kidou Senki Gundam Senki.

The game will feature cooperative and network options, a brand new original story and scenario mode and more. The scenario mode will feature the exact same characters revealed in Gundam Ace as well as the RX-78-7. Of course, the game will feature HD animation with a hybrid of 3D models and 2D character animation.

Update on the gundam game.

Seems it will be pretty fun if not deep, but it ultimately boils down to the gameplay, hope to see some footage of it soon.

Is there an English version planned?

[Stitch]

Yeah, when I first got my PS3, I immediately noticed how much dust it had gathered on its surface during a single three-hour play through. I thought it was just a one time thing and forgot about it, but more and more dust began to accumulate on the surface as time went on... until I started to wipe it clean after every use. Since then, I've been keeping it covered with a small hand towel when not in use. I still wipe off the ports and vents every weekend too.

I do, however, live in a very dusty environment, and my entertainment center is right next an open window, so take that for whatever relevance you will.
