Topic: Nintendo Life Playstation 3 Fan Thread

I just got PS Plus, the PS4 coming and stuff inspired me to get it. I got $10 off with a coupon too. Now to start downloading free games.

Should I get my ps3 fixed it YLOD.If I do ill get the ps+

My PS3 has been downloading games over 12 hours and and has managed to download less than 3 GB worth of games. I don't think it's ever been this slow before.

For the heck of it I decided to fire up my digital copy of LittleBigPlanet (which I stopped playing long ago), dressed my little Sackboy up in a lion getup, avoided some snaping crocodile things, and actually had a pretty fun time.

I think I'll be giving it another shot

That's nothing. It once took 2 days for me to download God of War HD. I may have repressed how long Unfinished Swan took. Luckily I have a better internet connection now, but I'm guessing Sony's servers are still stupid slow.

There's a big sale on costumes and the other games in the series on PSN by the way.

Thanks for the info, but I'm currently saving up for a new 3DS game.

Just bought a PS3! I'd planned to get a PS3 at launch, but 360 impressed me so much at E3 2006, I decided to go with that, and put the PS3 off til later. It feels so nice to have a Dual Shock back in my hands for the first time since I packed up the PS2 to replace it with a 360 in July 06. Ironically, the first thing I did was download a bunch of PSOne classics, and I'm about to get stuck into Metal Gear Solid, but I'll be picking up Uncharted and Infamous over the weekend too.

You get PS+?

Play Ni No Kuni!

I had a 30 day PS+ trial code, so I used that to get a discount on the PSOne Classics I bought, but I'm 99% sure I'll get a year's sub too. Heck, Catherine and Demon Souls are worth the price for a year on their own.

Ni No Kuni is another on my definitely playing list

Check out Legend of Dragoon if you've never played it

I'm tempted by some of those PS1 sale prices. Crash Bandicoot is only £2 and the Spyro and resident evil bundles are gently whispering "buy me". I might get MGS which will then give me an excuse to get the HD collection.

I'm currently downloading the Final Fantasy XIV beta. Good grief their servers are slow.

2 week Summer sale on now at PSN. Ratchet & Clank HD collection is $14.99, or $7.99 with PS+. 3 games... That is hot!!! There's 7 or 8 others. Arkham Asylum is $9.99.

I plan on getting a PS3 this holiday season. New console generations are the perfect time to catch up on the old systems.

I seriously love Ni No Kuni.

Planning on getting Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 before Lightning Returns comes out

NO! STOP! IT'S NOT TOO LAAAAATE ;___;

@Emaan
I highly, highly recommend you avoid anything with FF XIII on it. If you need an RPG fix on the PS3, I recommend trying Tales of Graces f or Ni No Kuni, instead.

Edit: Nevermind on NNK, but I also recommend Disgaea.

Even I'd recommend Final Fantasy XIII-2 over Tales of Graces f at this point. Not by a lot, mind you, but at least it's a fantastic gameplay experience with plenty of exploration and customization, whereas Tales of Gaces f has fantastic combat...and not much else worth a mention. In fact, it falls flat on some areas even harder than FFXIII-2 falls flat on its story.

Of course, with Tales of Xillia coming out next month, I recommend that over both those games.

I just picked up a PS3, cause they're fairly cheap and I figured there's a ton of games I get for a around $10 that I've been wanting to play. Recommendations welcome!

I picked up:

Guacamelee - What can I say, I adore Metroidvania games. This game oozes style and humour. Gameplay-wise it blends together Metroid, dimension-shifting, Super Meat Boy-esque platforming and Super Smash Bros-like attacks. It even has co-op! I think it's fair to say PSN games may be even more of a reason for me to own a PS3 than the triple A titles.

Assassin's Creed II - Because everyone says this is the best one. Haven't played it yet.

LittleBigPlanet 2 - Not gonna lie, first impression's not too good. I've been playing a ton of NSMBWii, DKCR, Rayman Origins, etc. I don't like floaty jumps and imprecise platforming. I do love the artstyle, but I don't put enough time in games for the customisation. This may have been a bad buy. Mostly did so for the multiplayer.

Burnout Paradise — Shocked though I am that this (and many, many other retail games) no longer support local multiplayer, I'm sure I'll have a blast with this. I've spend a ridiculous amount of hours on Burnout 1 and 2 on the Cube, and getting to know one big city like the back of your hand sounds like a great addition.

Games I'm buying soon: Journey collection, Batman (should I start with Asylum?), Red Dead Redemption, The Unfinished Swan, Sound Shapes, Closure, Shatter, PixelJunk series, Outland

Games I'm contemplating buying: Fat Princess, Joe Danger, Uncharted series, Tokyo Jungle, Prince of Persia 2008, Bayonetta, Bioshock, Jak & Daxter trilogy

note: I'm really not into shooters or realistic racers / realistic sports games. But I may give one or two a shot.
