Pseudo and Sega promise there's plenty more information yet to reveal about Full Auto 2--they just aren't revealing it yet. We're talking about things like the events that will make up the revamped career mode, and how the game will utilize the PS3 controller's tilt functionality (which will purportedly be in a meaningful way). It's also worth noting that we played Full Auto 2's multiplayer on the actual PlayStation network platform, so apparently Sony already has its online gaming infrastructure up and running well ahead of the new system's release. Of course, we're just as curious as you are about how the PlayStation 3's first round of games will turn out, so stay tuned for more on Full Auto 2 and all of Sony's other launch titles in the coming months.

If already posted or this is old news, feel free to close the thread.
It might be old news to some, but to me, it's new. Thanks. :)

Hopefully their network will have some type of chatroom function so we can make a PSINEXT channel and all talk together!

Do you think there is any chance that a basic camera will be built into the PS3? I doubt it, but it would be nice. Maybe one of the announcments will be the next generation eye toy for the PS3 and people can buy that to video chat with.
I've still got my old Eye Toy, so hopefully I'll be able to use that at least until they release a new one. I like the sound of us all meeting online though MILR, I'd be very interested in discussing the creation of our Psinext clan soon! ;)

Why does the PS3 pad have a USB?
It can run off the PS3 if the battery is low?
Holy fuck, wrong thread anyway. This was meant to be in the Dev kit video thread.
Damn Tab browsing.
Good news about the online thing...As everyone suspects, Sony does have everything under controland is just waiting for the last second to unleash it all so everyone is so overwhelmed by the great news they forget the price.

Yeah, clan E-mpire FTW!!! I wonder if some of the mods will moderate it...
BTW, do we know if such a clan feature is built in to PSNP? Or, rather, is it in Xbox LIVE? If it is, I'm sure that PSNP will have it too.
if such a thing is planned, i want to be heavily involved...
Edit: Dammnit i hate it when typing fast messes up your spelling.

Yep I am torn....when I get hoem with my PS3 my first instinct will be to run through single player for a while, but the PS3 Network will be there, and hopefully by then it will be PSP compatible. I might be on hiaitus(sp?) for a while in November.
btw - my birthday is Nov 20...and I expect a game/accessory from everybody here! ;-]

sweet.....keep em comin guys/girls!
Anywho, back on topic - I find it surprising that they have yet to unleash the PSP network, as it was also scheduled for a spring laucnh windows, and hasn't been heard of since.

Last I heard of it, it had been postponed to be released with FW 3.00, at the same time as PS3.

I would assume the PS3 network will require some extensive national/international mass beta testing over the next few months...
(features, lag, latency, errors, ect.)
I wonder who will be asked to participate in the testing prior to launch?

I am sure they are alrady pass that phase, as noted I know some poepl already hav ea PS3. Also, since the network is designed not only for the PS3, but the PSP as wel - I am sure they have been testing ti for a while now.

Yeah. The PNP is for PS2, PSP, and PS3.

Actually the web browser on the pSp does load pages faster with the 2.8 update.
