PS3 came to Serbia(Europe) before launch date!!!!

[digital neXus]

Sorry for not delivering any pics, but we were in a hurry.
Some firm in one of our large cities have PS3 for testing and exponate purposes, until Europian launch. PS3 was delivered from Japan in cooperation with some other firm, it's all legal, not to be sold, and I had opportunity to test it (approx. 3 hours of playing :) ). Tried Resistance, Motorstorm, Ridge Racer, on 1080p Samsung.....I don't know the model of TV.

For Resistance i have to say awesome, but i'm not a FPS gamer, so I didn't played it much.
Motorstorm: WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, DAMN IT'S GOOD, EXCELENT..
Ridge Racer: Same as the above. If anyone said that sixaxis sometimes doesn;t respond in the game, they were wrong!! Played 2 hours mostly, and it didn't disconnected.

Sixaxis, with the lack of rumble, is an awesome controler. Rumble feature is really missing. But in 3 hours of playing I didn't payed attention on that matter. It's very sensitive, I tried moving very slowly form R to L and vice versa to see how it will respond, and it responds very good.

Although I've played X360, I will stick with PS3, because if 1st-gen games for PS3 looks like this, how will last-gen games look on PS3 when they succeed to use the full power of PS3?? And not only for that....games......games on PS3. Playstation games are greatest games of all time.

i'd like to be happy for you but i find myself cursing and prodding my monitor...

[Z]

and here I thought you were talking about being available for purchase. I take back all the cursing I made during loading this page (took a while since I'm on dial-up).
they were wrong!! Played 2 hours mostly, and it didn't disconnected.
the controller never disconnects, and you don't have to connect it via USB every time you boot up your system. anyone reporting that may have a drained battery, a rare anomaly or simple ignorance and FUD spreading.

now why the hell am I still cursing and hating people with PS3 access when I already have one? hmm, a habit I think. guess I have to include my self in all my coming cursing till I get cured. O_o

Sorry Z about dial-up, how come you can't get some broadband (cable)???
Don't worry I'm also cursing PS3 in that store because it's not for sale.

Rewrited Topic theme: added ->not for sale<-

I was writing too fast because I was fascinated by PS3, and I woke up 2 hours ago, because I was playing PS3 200km from my city, from 00:30 (00:00 store closes) till 04:00, damn it was 3 hours and 30 mins of playing. Wheeeehaaaaa.

[digital neXus]

It didn't worked. Can someone add (not for sale) at the end of topic theme??

[cliffbo]

dial up LOL... my revenge Z 10 Mps wuuaahh!!!!

[digital neXus]

Cliffbo, I'm interested, how much do you pay for 10Mbps or how much 2 Mbps costs in US$. Because we here pay 256K for 22Euros.

£35 a month. i could get it cheaper but i'd have to buy other services

[Sephiroth_VII]

40 GBP for 4096/256, and the price is only that low because the same company handles our mobile AND normal phones... Yeah, I know we're getting ripped off...

Are you willing to pull a lan-cable across the canal to my house, cliffbo?

what I pay for dial-up can get me 'at least' a 5M connection in virtually any arket, region or company in the world. I shit you not.

OK guys, let's not stray from the topic with bandwidths and all that (100Mbps for €22, sorry couldn't help it!).
digital neXus: How did you feel the framerate was? Did the PS3 make a lot of noise (I know the PS3 is supposed to be quiet, but I heard from some of my mates that the unit they played on was louder than a 360)? Was it lying freely or was it in a demo booth?

It's definitely not louder than a 360. The PS3 doesn't even have the fan on, when you first turn it on. And when it does turn on, I barely even notice it. A whole lot quieter, than my launch PS2.

edit: my connection is 3 mbps/ 768 kbps up

[Dradien]

Congrats on getting to play it. Just got mine and damn do I love it. Been playing resistance ALOT:P (99$ month for 9mbps/370kbps along with digital phone and TV)

[xone_4]

I live in egypt but i have 2-Mbps and i have ps3, macbook pro 15", iMac core 2 duo, Macpro 4 xeon with 30" cinema display and i use samsung 19" LCD monitor for the ps3 tell i get my HDTV in September :)

note: i connect the ps3 with the iMac in target disk mode and i use it as external 500 gb HDD, and i use Blackmagic HDLink card on the macpro if
i want to use the 30" screen to watch movies on it or capture any game videos
but i cant play "there is a delay for about 1 sec" and i have 2TB storage on the
macpro but i didn't try to connect it to the PS3 because it is formated with HFS+ format which is not supported by the ps3.

[digital neXus]

I wasn't here for a while, I had to pay today for another month for 256k, Saturday till 3pm and Sunday is closed for paying. So here is my answer for PS3 to Soir:
It was a lying freely PS3 so I could touch it, actually I've checked every opening including HDD port. PS3 didn't made any noise, actually it made some windy noise like blowing slowly through your mouth. But you need to put your ear near exaust holes to hear the fan.
I didn't noticed any framedropping, not even on Motorstorm nor RR7, sorry about RFOM, didn't played it much, but from few mins. of playing even resistance didn't had any FrameD.
And I'm hoping next time if I visit that shop with my friend, his friend that works in that shop promised that we could test HDD 3.5" compatibilty with 3.5" HDD's for notebooks. We hope we could put 200gigs into it of course if the connectors are compatibile.
