Bought a PS3 (Slim).

Figured it was about time.

Price drop, a smaller system, enough games I'd like to try, and finally a piqued interest in HD films.

Won't have much time to mess around with it until the end of the weekend, sadly.

Only game I nabbed was Demon's Souls (Aphex's hype is my hype.)

What's up with it just coming with Composite cables?

I was expecting Component.

Actually a little pissed about that.

Yeah they've always done that...even though I got my PSFat for free it still pissed me off that I had to go out and nab component.

I got it during the Circuit City blowout though it was cheap.

What's your PSN handle?

Welcome to the club man.

Only have one game myself.

Valkerie chronicles.

I did fucking download some awesome wallpapers from the internet though, much cooler then paying for them like you have to do on the xbox 360.

Ill add you later, home on the 23rd. Mines in my sig, just added it there after I saw this thread.

I have composite cables, but I'm pretty convinced my TV does jack with it. College funds suck.

Seriously though - Uncharted is excellent.

I have my PS3 hooked up to my 22" LCD Monitor. Looks pretty good. I'm going HDMI -> DVI and then I have the sound output through the RCA cables to some computer speakers :emb:

I was glad you could set up the PS3 to do that.

I wish there was a way we could play Demon's Souls together.

Flower on PSN is awesome :emb:

Also, check out the "Whats good on 'dat triple" thread.

Of course I am.

It's a nice Toshiba 32" w/component that I picked up for $72 new a few years ago. The interlacing gets on my nerves with high def stuff but the picture is rock solid and I've tuned the colors/contrast/etc. nicely. The only HD game I've had a problem with is Dead Rising and all of my older systems look fantastic.

Joe, I'll add you later tonight.

I went in with no expectations and was blown away.

The demo just doesn't do the full game justice.

I know you guys told me that, but really...it doesn't do justice to the game AT ALL.

I really enjoyed trying to get the trophies for the weapons.

Only thing I didn't do in that game was melee very much.

So true. Whats so impressive is that theres no loading you can notice after the initial savegame load, it just flows from one part to another seamlessly. Really impressive use of the hardware, although the 2nd one blows it away graphically. Naughty Dog really do know how to utilize the hardware properly.

My TV does HDMI so I'll be going that route.

Playing Demon's Souls now and this is so weird (weird = shitty) seeing it in Composite.

I would have grabbed the HDMI cables at the store then and there but I thought there would at least be Component in the box which would have fine for me for the moment.

Its probably a good thing you didn't buy them in the store, they were probably way overpriced. Search Amazon or go to monoprice.com to find good deals on them.

I use component @ 1080i on a tube set for PS3 and when it actually displays in HD (only about 30% of the games:oh_no:), it looks awesome!

Besides, Vintage games lag on those new-fangled HD TVs.

Good games, offhand (some of these are multiplatform):

Bioshock
inFamous
Prototype
Batman: Arkham Asylum
fl0wer (PSN)
Bionic Commando: Rearmed (PSN)
Alone in the Dark: Inferno (banish all thoughts of the abomination that was the other versions)
Saint's Row 2
Dead Space
BlazBlue
Prince of Persia
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Any of these will give you decent bang for your buck.

Imagine your yearly Income, now bring in to perspective thats my annual bar tab.

Then stare Blankly at your mother, Brother or whomever you share residence.

Then reconsider unharnessing the .38 and pointing in the direction that haunts your dreams.

Get a .357 Magnum revolver and then you can fire .38 Special too.

Doesn't work the other way around though.

I'll make a call tonight and have my rash evaluated before any of your 'Condemned from birth' countrymen will be seen for their stage II cancers.

For the standing record, most, if not all of your Entitled (wealthy) Windsor brethren seek advanced medical assistance in Michigan than any other State.

why do anything else? you just come back with more "i'm superior" bullshit about being rich or whatever fantasy you had when kids were beating you up in highschool.

So instead of ignoring you, I'll just put what I figured you said. It's far more entertaining this way.
