Hughsey - Do what Kamy says but to be honest the address you use doesn't even have to be real (I used some thing like street name '1' address '2' etc etc - Click

Again as Kamy says you get many different things going into that store - it will make you very jealous as they get to download movies/downloadable magasines/better demos and is generally a better run place. (Their HOME is better than ours too - not that I have been in there myself) I have never paid for anything from their store and just use it for demos. You can do the same with the Japanese store but I have deleted the account I set up for that because I haven't got a clue what goes on in half of their demos I picked up (stuff about feeding cats and chopping wood)

Rag Doll Kung Fu is like super smash brothers but with Little Big Planet type physics. If anything it feels a little like a tech demo for the physics engine - nothing to write home about but it is free so fill yer boots.

Does anyone ever have trouble going online on your ps3? Sometimes, I.e now, my ps3 doesnt seem to have an internet connection. I do the test network setings and it comes up with this message:

"An error occured during communication with the server. This is DNS error (80710102)".

The modem is fine as im online now typing this message. Just my ps3 cant connect. Happened afew times. Then after a period of time, (afew minutes or until the next day) it seems to suddenly come online again.

Its a wired connection

[Hughesy]

That Vidzone looks good - whens that due out Kamy?

Has PS3 no plans to allow you to play your own music in menu's of games, rather than the standard stuff?

BenhBen - I get that problem quite often mate. Im on 02, u?

Noticed also that Xbox 360 is to get linked up with Sky Digi according to press reports.

[Guest Kamy100]

With E3 happening next week I think that the VidZone thing will be given a firm date for release.

Yey, lets watch sky with the sound of a small aircraft taking off in the background! I can't even get the PC version of sky to work as I installed it many moons ago on another PC. Called sky to get them to let me re-register and nothing worked. The chances therefore of it working on my XBOX? I think are between 0 and nil.

a clan mate of mine had the exact same problem. he googled a domain (pref one in the uk) and used that, no problems since.. or you could goolge the error code and see what else other people have done..

the games im looking forward to are MW2, Uncharted 2, TW10, Fifa 10 and MAG.. got socom confrontation to keep me busy untill then

My ps3 has started freezing in the last couple of days. Its only done it on Fifa so far. I thought it was the game that had frozen but when I held the ps button to quit the game the ps3 also seemed to be frozen. THe background music was still playing though. Had to turn it off at the back. Done it 3 times in 1 evening and a morning now.

Has anyone else had this problem. I hope its nothing terminal.

[Cocker]

Does your fan make a noise at the same time? It could be over heating - check the vents are not covered.

Check this out though - click

as stated could be over heating. could be a sign its on its way out (google yellow light of death)(had 3 of those so far )

i get it on Socom and the odd time on worms/wipeout. socom is down to the bad coding of the game though

Worms was down to the coding too. They have fixed that now with a patch.

strange, i still get it every now and then

I have been waiting in anticipation of the release of Batman Arkham Asylum for month's now and having just downloaded the demo off the PlaystationStore I havn't been dissapointed! The game is class and even though the demo is short it leaves you wanting more which is always a good sign, such a well exicuted game and some of the combat and stealth takedowns are impressive. It's safe to say this is getting pre-ordered just need to get my finger out and get a couple of games finished before it arrives! Worth checking out in my opinion

[benhben]

Anyone trying to get onto the PSnetwork been getting this message today?

"A connection to the network could not be established (80130182)"

Dont know if the network is down or not.

My ps3 does this sometimes, would be fine, then all of a sudden it refuses to sign in, saying it cant establish a connection or a network adapter is unplugged. Its a wired connection. The internet is fine on the computer and laptop, just the ps3

[Rover9]

I'm not sure but it may have something to do with them updating the Platstation Store and Home which they usually do on a Thursday, its only a guess though.

[Cocker]

I am ok here. Just downloaded the Call of Juarez demo without any problems

[Rover9]

New PS3 Slim to hit the shops at the beginning of September (32% smaller, 36% lighter and consumes 34% less power) pricing is 299 euros/299 dollars/??? pound. Firmware 3.00 also looking neato need to start saving then I can get me a new sleek PS3!!

[Guest Kamy100]

PS3 Slim - Pre Order - Amazon - £249.99

[dazmaz]

also bear in mind the normal ps3 is now at that price.

personally i dont like the looks of the slim, its just like a black box, matte black at that, i like the shiney plastic.

I couldnt care what the thing looks like as long as it does its job. Mine is in the living room under the telly and you cant see it anyway.

Yeh exactly, if I was buying one now for the first time then sure I'd take the slimline version but I'm hardly going to buy one just because I don't like my perfectly normal sized one, it's not like it I'm struggling to get it in the living room and having to sacrifice the sofa!!

[BuckyRover]

I do think it looks rubbish compared to the original one.

Which I didnt expect

[Biddy]

Yep that looks ugly, the original looks miles better. Still 1000 times nicer than the Xbox though.

Edit - Still far too expensive though.

Details on the F1 2010 release. Its about time a new formula 1 game came out. This and Modern Warfare Two are the two games im looking forward to most next year.
