Chess - my bf went "oh yeah!" when I told him your suggestion. So thanks again.

cspanos - sorry, I didn't explain well - I tried MGS2 in my PS2 machine, not the PS3. As it happens, I had been pressing the wrong button to select (it required circle instead of the usual x).
I knew the 40 gb machines weren't PS2 compatible, so I haven't dared try.

Guys another question - sorry! What's this about regions and PS3? I thought I'd read that PS3 isn't bound by region coding discs, but my PS3 discs say region 2 on them.
Have I dreamt reading about PS3 being region free?

[Chess]

sony published games are suppose to be region free, but they cant make other publishers do region coding. Also, the ps3 isn't region free unless you have an HD TV, so a ps3 from the States wont work on some tv's in the U.K. Kinda goofy, huh?

[keps]

Wow Chess, you really know your stuff.
I do have an HDTV, so that wouldn't be a problem.
I have 3 games for PS3, and all say Region 2...they must not be Sony published, then?

Are potential problems caused by PAL and NTSC differences? I know in the UK, Australia and NZ PAL is used, and in the States NTSC, but I have no idea what they are.

I really want a PSP. I was looking at some on ebay, and on the specifications, it said 2.5 hours battery time?! That seems quite short.

I understand you can hook up the PSP to PS3 - sounds interesting.

I'm currently playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on PS3. I'm addicted! Todd was right *see early posts in this thread*
Only thing is, I have the ordinary edition, not the Game Of The Year one, so I don't have the Shivering Isles. I keep hoping I'll hear something about it being released seperately for PS3...but I'm still waiting.

I've been playing the new Grand Theft Auto a lot lately. Pretty controversial, but a lot of fun

@ Jackmcmanus21 - I want GTA: IV bad! I read that the game world is massive, which really appeals to me.

@ Todd - I know, I remember! I would love to hear your stats (if you can remember them), and what race, birthsign and class you played as. Did you do all the quest lines?
I'm a Redguard female, birthsign The Mage, class is Battlemage. I'm level 40 right now.

I cannot wait for Fallout 3. Another one from Bethesda, and it looks fantastic.

Love the avatar keps, fall out 1 and 2 were amazing and I can't wait till fallout3.

I never play single player games (always multiplayer) but this is one of the single player games I'll actually play.

I just upgraded my PC cause I want to start playing Eve Online, and in anticipation of Starcraft 2. More RAM, new video card (EVGA GTS 8800).

But the friggin thing crapped the bed. I put the old video card back in, put the old RAM back in and tried to start it up but no go. Therefore I think my motherboard is fried.

I only took a brief look on Newegg, but I couldn't find any motherboards with 184-pin RAM slots.

GTA 4 is taking over my life. Four of my colleagues have it too. It apparently irks the girls in my office when we have daily conversations about it because they only realise the cars, restaurants and places to visit aren't real when we begin to talk about beating gangsters to death and escaping in a Banshee riddled with shotgun holes.

It is a work of genius.
