that sounds wrong!!

yeah, sorry about that I was in the middle of a manager mode game. by the time i finished and accepted your invite, it said you'd left the game.

I see what you mean about getting worse at it!

I've come out the other side. Key thing I had to learn was to use sprint very sparingly. Also, on manager mode, use your whole squad, rotate where possible, make subs in the match. It's a proper, proper sim in that regard.

If you install TVersity on your PC, you can stream music and video to the PS3 over Wifi. YOu can also play quite a lot of media types directly off a USB drive. The PS3 has a fairly awkward-to-use browser built in, but it really is a pain using a console controller to surf the net.

To record Freeview you need the PlayTV add-on which is about £50 quid, and yes, it only does Freeview.

That's a great utility! Got my PS3 at the weekend and had been having trouble streaming video - easy now. Thanks for the link:)

See, that's the thing. I'd prefer a proper paid service which works than a free one that's average tbh...

I knew Sony were onto a fail when they said years ago they wouldn't be doing a Live type thing for the PS2 and would let publishers/developers sort their own online gaming. Complete crap and financially short sighted too (think of the millions in micro payments they've missed out on) move by them.

Sony, should sort a centralised hosted gaming environment like Microsoft (who to their credit understood from very early on that online gaming and community would be key to the consoles performance and gaming generally).

Riiiight. If that's your response then you will have no problems paying 5000 Sony points to my offshore account. You don't want the virtual photos of your virtual text-based sex with Petey335 showing up on here now, do you? :hmm:

Cheers again, six quid at play.com with free postage!

Will keep an eye on eBay or similar for a digital amp, but budgets may mean it waits for a few months - I'm expecting our TV to die soon at which point I might go HD, but that won't be cheap! Seeing as the PS3 connection will be the main input for any music (CD or streamed) I'd like to get something that takes advantage of the optical out, but will still be able to use the new SCART for the video.

Ordered two weeks ago, my account lists it as not even processed yet and I can't find a single phone number or email address for customer service on play.com.

Bah.

Was it on "PlayTrade" or direct from Play?
The Play Help pages say:

"Once an order is made the PlayTrader is required to dispatch your item within two working days, and also confirm that it has been sent."

Following this link should let you ask where your stuff is.
 
Cheers, it's from play.com itself and the order status says 'order taken' - it's been like that for the past 2 weeks.
 
That link should let you select the item that hasn't been sent and send them a "Where is it" message, via a web form.
 
wtf?

After clicking through to the specific order I get this message:

"Your item is on its way to you!

Our records show that the item you selected was ordered on 05/01/2009. Although items are usually dispatched promptly, we need to wait 14 days from the date of order before being able to re-order the item.

What to do now: Please return to this page if your item has not been posted after the end of the 14 day period (after 19/01/2009). We will then arrange for a replacement item."

I can't find a web form, I assume their incorrect assertion that it hasn't been 14 days is the reason. I'll try tomorrow, if nothing has changed I'll know there's something fishy. Not sure how I contact them though.
 
Depends what you're after.

I'll be getting GTA IV and Metal Gear Solid as soon as funds (and missus) allow. Call of Duty always a good one. Little Big Planet is supposed to be good.
 
I've played a lot of those on the PC (COD4-5, HL2 and Fallout 3), ah yes MGS and GTA. The new Tomb Raider is all it'll arrive with (for Ms S) and I'm sure I'll get bored of that rather quickly.
 
Damn, my missus just phoned me to say it's been delivered (the PS3 that is), but I've no games yet... that was quick I only ordered it on Sunday night from the UK. Right, sod the inauguration I'm playing demos...
 
Get Wipeout HD from the Playstation Network if you like that kind of racey thing.
And have a play with the demo of Super Stardust HD.
