Re: Just bought a PS3 - Some questions please!

Congrats for your new console.

Anyhow, some questions please:

1. Are the free games any good or should I sell/exchange them? If yes, any suggestions were I can do that in Delhi. As mentioned above, the main plastic wrapping of the Modnation Racers Disc came off when I was removing the tape. Also, can the Chronicles of Riddick game be played without playing any previous editions of the game?

I'm not sure about Modnation Racers, but Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is a sequel to Escape from Butcher Bay and is a fantastic game. It picks up right from where the first game left you. By not playing the first game, you'll merely miss out on identifying some characters from the previous game. Although, the main storyline is completely different and it doesn't really require you playing the first game. So yes, you can start the game.

2. I'm not really into games which involve mindless killing (I'll try those later) and after some research, I've narrowed down to 2 games - Heavy Rain and L.A. Noire. Which should I buy first? Any other suggestion are also welcome. I will be buying Fifa 12 too.

L.A. Noire will be out on the PC this November, so you can save some money and get the PC version instead. Go for Heavy Rain. The game will really suck you in, however, if you're not familiar with it's gameplay mechanics (or haven't played Fahrenheit), it will take you sometime to get used to it's control scheme. The demo isn't a vast representation of how many many quick time events you're about to encounter in the game. But I'd still go for it, since it offers a brilliant storyline and small replay value for getting different endings.

IINM Assault on Dark Athena does have the remastered version of Escape from Butcher Bay. At least the PC version does have it, so I am guessing the PS3 version also has it included.

I'm not sure about the PS3 version. If it does have the Escape from Butcher Bay, then problem solved for him.

Re: Just bought a PS3 - Some questions please!

1. Both are good games and have received excellent ratings, with that said there are definitely better games available on PS3. Both these gamnes are also quite unpopular therefore you will not be able to sell them at their retail price anyways. Therefore, my suggestion would be to play them and then sell them for whatever you can get. You can sell them at Palika Bazar, Delhi.



Modnation Racers : IGN Score 9.0

Assault on Dark Athena : IGN Score 7.4

2. Both are excellent games and a must play for all PS3 owners. Heavy Rain is a PS3 exclusive therefore you may want to get that first. If you have a decent gaming PC, you can play L.A Noire on it when it releases later in November. Between the two, I would pick Heavy Rain for its awesome story, innovative gameplay and replay value.

Both the heavy rain and la noire is epic!!!

As a consideration buy the move computable version of heavy rain... As you also have the move bundle

Never played chronicles of riddick but modnation is really a great game...

The game is compatible with MOVE as soon as you apply the latest patch to it.

I second this. Uncharted is one of my all time favorites. For me, personally , it's definitely ranked in the top 3 games of all time. It's not a game, it's an interactive movie!

Heavy Rain. Nothing like it, has been, don't know if ever will be.

Ofcourse the entire GoW series. Also the UC and Assassins creed series. There also sell cheaply in the market now and are some of the best offerings on PS3.

Everytime I play a game that has completely blown me away, I compare it to Heavy rain. But its one of those games you hate or like. You might start hating it so do play the demo available on PS Store for free. Its compatible with move too. Another plus for your bundle.

Happy Gaming.

Hi vb86,

OT here .

Are you satisfied with the PS3 delivery from Letsbuy.

I am about to buy one from them, but a bit skeptical ordering such a high value item online.

Does Letsbuy send stamped Sony warranty cards etc.?

Thanks.

Re: Just bought a PS3 - Some questions please!

I've already described the packing and delivery in the first post. I received a bill from letsbuy, but the warranty cards in the box or not stamped. The shipping was done through Aramex and the package was well padded overall.

Re: Just bought a PS3 - Some questions please!

^^They don't stamp the warranty cards because they would have to open the box in order to stamp it. Therefore, they don't. I received my Samsung oven from them and I had clarified with them whether we needed it stamped to avail warranty. They said that the bill was enough to avail warranty. Though, Samsung registered my product when I called them for a demo, they took a look at my bill when the personnel came for demo.

But, Sony and Samsung are different companies so it would be best if you clarify with them.

Got yourself a spanking new console and need some help? Head here!

Hey Guyz,
Extremely sorry for creating a new thread but I just recieved my PS3 160gb mean machine from letsbuy,
I opened the Package (took f'in 20 minutes as it was jam packed) and saw it was a SEPT 2011 package!

With almost no hope,connected it to my FHD 22 incher and to my Utter Surprise it was 3.55
Would love to run some cool homebrew now!

Coming to queries,can someone knowledgeable (there are loads here i knw) enlighten me to the following

1) When i go to system Settings it say 3.55. So to JB it,i just need to install CFW ?
2) For how much time do i need to charge my controller? How to know if it is full or not and how long it lasts? Can we charge it using a PC?

3) If i connect my PS3 to my wifi network,will it update itself to 3.72 automatically? Coz i dont wanna do that!

4) My warranty card is not stamped, obviously as it was sealed, so bill will be enough to get the warranty?

thanx!
n HAPPY GAMING! :clap:

Re: Bought a PS3 (some noob queries)

1. Yes. Refer the PS3 JB Thread for the detailed instructions.

2. For a couple of hours maybe? The charge is indicated on the top-right corner of the display when you press the PS button on the DS3. If the juice begins to run out, the 4 red LEDs on the DS3 begins flashing and the XMB will throw a warning asking you to plug the USB cable to charge it. It can be charges using several devices. Refer the console buying thread for more details.

3. Do not risk going online with a JB'en console.

4. Yes.

Have fun funjabi!

Re: Bought a PS3 (some noob queries)
