I paid $60, which will probably be MSRP when it hits here. So yes, I'd say it was worth it. And it's white, which is just totally awesome!!!!

^^shame, yes. It's all I've done with my PS3 so far. You mean this machine can do other things, too?

12/12/2007 4:27:49 PM

Pfft.

You try affording a PS3 and anything other than midnight bowling.

They might as well just take your wallet when they take your shoes.

You are aware that a 40gig ps3 is parity with a 360 + hd dvd player, right?

12/12/2007 4:38:38 PM

...or a 360 with Wifi, for that matter.

12/12/2007 4:39:17 PM

shhh

We don't really want to mention the ps3 wifi in any argument.

In fact lets pretend it doesnt exist.

Dual Shock 3 + GT5: Prologue for $106.80 + s/h.

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-bp-49-en-70-2bns.html

Most of the videos and the Japanese demo had a lot of English text in the menus, so it seems pretty import friendly.

12/12/2007 4:41:43 PM

I definitely know it exists....one of my last couple of posts was actually lauding that about Sony's inclusion of wifi.

Because, yes, although the 360 adapter is damn fast and nice, it was still a hundred bones I had to pay where for PS3 it was right out of the box. I can appreciate that, and the lack of needing batteries on controllers. Love that as well.

12/12/2007 5:36:30 PM

you do know that xbox360 has rechargeable batteries. Or you can buy rechargeable energizer AA batteries.

The reason that is better than the PS3 concept of not needing batteries is because battery cells don't last forever. Eventually instead of swapping out the PS3 battery you'll be buying a new controller because it doesnt hold a charge.

Also, $100 is not bad at all for a wireless card with a/b/g support.

Let's not drag the 360 into conversations regarding overpriced consoles for bowling and overpriced bowling alleys.

Because if we take it to the lanes, I'm rollin' rocks tonight.

That's still too damned high I think. It's a glorified demo worth maybe 20 at best, and the controller just....well.....i'm not buying one til it is the exact price of a sixxaxis. I mean, I want to at least see what Prologue looks like but when's it come out in the states?

12/12/2007 11:20:26 PM

you do realize, demo or not, prologue is going to be as much in the States.

12/12/2007 11:22:05 PM

Exactly how much content is in it to justify a cost like that? Serious question though - anyone know? Like how many tracks, levels, stuff like that.

12/12/2007 11:40:13 PM

i heard 40 cars and 4 or 5 tracks

you can't be serious.... This is coming from the same person that called the PS3 overpriced. And you're willing to pay 1/4 of the price of the console for a wireless card....

If you know how to use a screwdriver, you can change the battery out on a PS3 controller.

I really think the price arguement is getting old.

12/13/2007 1:40:31 PM

i agree. I just find it funny that someone who paid $600 for a console is saying $100 is a lot of money.

Jeez yall are so freakin lame arguing over who has the best console or whatever. The epitome of loserness. I like to get updates and impressions about games and stuff from this thread, but most of the time there is just this useless banter about "ooO my video game machine is better than yours urrhhh."
So fucking lame. Get a god damn life. Please.. Jesus....

12/13/2007 2:23:27 PM

^I have both and enjoy both. One is for playing games the other is for watching movies, whats your point?

^^so you haven't opened up a PS3 controller is what you are trying to say. you're too slow to get to the conclusion so i'll speed the process along with a clue...

the PS3 controller battery is NOT a AA battery. go!

i wonder if capcom will ever port dead rising over to the PS3, now that capcom has changed their business plan to whoring out to pretty much anyone

12/13/2007 3:19:09 PM

if they do they better add co-op. I think Capcom would do FAR BETTER to port this than worry about freakin Lost Planet.

I love Dead Rising but if they ever put co-op in it, it would be stratospheric good. I have it and think it's one of the best games of this generation, and also one of more under appreciated ones. Someone should tell me though how Lost Planet warrants a port where Dead Rising doesn't

it was a joke. Who'd pay $100 for a wireless card? I mean seriously. I'd much rather pay $600 for a console with no games.

$600 is too much for a George Foreman grill look-alike, but that didn't stop most of you guys.

12/13/2007 4:12:23 PM

you do know that on newegg they have 139 wireless adapters under $100, out of 144 total ....

it's like, buying 100 octane fuel for your POS '95 honda hatchback

having a gold plated toothbrush

My god, you're stupid. Shit, it's not a AA battery? Where will I ever find a replacement, then?? Oh, right... there's that thing... the internet, I think they call it?

Luckily for me I won't have to shell out $100 to connect to it.

12/13/2007 5:46:04 PM

^^you read correctly but shortly after they posted instructions on how to replace the battery yourself. The argument was/is that if thats true why would anyone want to replace the battery on their old busted controller when they can get a brand new sixaxis for free. Maybe because sony is silently dropping that policy.

wow there are a lot of new posts since i last checked. jumping back 2 pages... GT5rologue screenshots don't look that touched up to me... I've got the demo running in 1080p over here (Suzuka circuit only) and that's about what it looks like.

Golovko, if you're getting an external harddrive to share between mac and ps3 (like me), you might be wondering how make it so the drive has BOTH a bootable HFS+ partition and FAT32 partition. You can't do it in the discutil GUI, you gotta set it up in terminal. Check out this thread and follow the advice down a bit by silentaccord. It's complicated 'cause a lot of the "solutions" mentioned earlier in the thread either wouldn't automatically mount or couldn't be recognized by PS3 despite having legitimate FAT32 partitions.

Or you could just install OSX on your iPod and boot from that when you need it.
