You can google it :P

Sorry, I'm no help really haha!

I tried Googling it, and the closest I could find was "You must crack the code. If you've played Tom Clancey's bla bla, you'll know how this is done."

Originally I went to buy the 40 gig and came home with the 80 gig, lol. I don't think I really needed the 80 gig, I can't see why I would use that much space. It doesn't make much difference other than space wise, oh and I got the Blue Ray Playback kit thing, but really, I'd say the 40 gig would be hard to max out space wise, and the 80 gig is probably impossible to max out.

So if I could go back and re-buy I'd probably stick with the 40 gig.

I'd still reccomend PS3 though, it's a great system. There's flaws in everything, I just was the unlucky one who got to expierence it lol.

ya im gettin the ps3

I would reccomend the extended warrenty, may be extra money but if something does go wrong it's a peace of mind. If it busts after the 30 day store warrenty then you have to send it to Sony and pay for it. If it's under warrenty then you can just do an over the counter exchange.

I got two years for $70 from the future shop (on my new one), however, if my 30 days had been up it would have cost me at least $150 to get it fixed.

Not really, there's a 3 month warranty from Sony but 3 months is pretty freakin' short.

It definately is, especially if you're already spending 600$ on the machine and then have to worry about repairs on it. Plus to send it away Sony has to send you a box to mail it in, which they don't rush on. From there it can take up to 10 weeks to get it back.The extended warrenty is really worth the extra bucks on these machines.
I don't know what stage your at, but here you go, this should helphttp://guides.ign.com/guides/774379/page_5.html
Thanks, I figured it out last night lol, took awhile but I did it. Now that I've moved on into the game it's a really good game. :)

That was probably me. :lol:

And even though I consider myself pretty psychic (kidding... :P), I didn't see Warner switching to Blu-Ray exclusivity.

it may have been you jet, I remember 29dryden29 posted a thread talking about the pro's of HD over Blue Ray

I can honestly say when I heard Disney was going just with Blue Ray I knew the war was going to be over soon :P

On the subject of the PS3 there are rumors they are doing away with the 80gig models and are going to roll out a 120 gig. As much as I support Sony i want to smack them. Before they brought the PS3 out they said they would never have multiple models of the same machine like the xbox had. 4 PS3 models later :rolleyes:

I can't possibly see the need for having a 120 gig model. When I went, I originally went for the 40 gig and came home with the 80 (isnt' that how it normally goes?), I haven't even dented my hard drive on it yet.

So unless someone was a chronic with intense video gaming problems, like 80 hrs a week, for years straight I can't imagine you'd ever need the 120 gig. lol. And if you gamed that much, death would probably be more likely than running out of space. :)

If Sony steps up the out put of the playstation store you may need more hard drive space for some of the stuff they are talking about (down loadable movies in HD, multiple games etc) There was even talk of making a DVR add on for the PS3 so you could record tv shows which would require more hard drive space. This was here say a while back but if there is any truth to it it would explain alot.

That was the first game I played when I got my PS3 and I loved it. I also played it on an HDTV and the graphics were great. I was really surprised by it.

Xbox 360 is the best system ever created

Gotta love bill gates

have to disagree ;) the greatest system ever was the old NES system. Basically took a moribound industry (video games) and brought it back to life and made history. Games that are still to this day considered classics ( Super Mario Brothers, Super Mario Brothers 3, The Legend of Zelda, Castlevania 3) were made for that system. The NES IMO will go down in video game history as being one of the greatest of all time.

as for right now go PS3 go :D

yep you,re right on the NES, NeS is still the undefeated champion, and the 64 is pretty close to the nes level

but as for right now, PS3 is the last one the list sorry... its not selling + no good games (don't say YES BUT MGS4 AND GRAND TURISMO! 2 great games can't make a 400$ console great)

for REAL gamers, 360 is winning hands down

and wii is for... well for fun, for everyone, if you,re a real gamers, Wii is 2nd

Looking at the games coming out this year on the PS3, I think slowly, it will catch up and surpass the 360. I expect a similar situation with the previous generation where the original XBOX is now obsolete while the PS2 is still selling very well.
