Really wondering why all these people look like serial murderers. Kinda offputting.

Do think the first part was interesting since I always heard the ps3 was a bitch to develop for which resulted in the x360 version always being superior and releases dates pushed back since they had to optimise both versions. Social aspect doesn't really interest me but the cloud gaming seems great if it means no download times. Having the full ps library at your disposal doesn't hurt either.

Bit of a weird one, The Phantom Pain is the next Metal Gear game. In this interview, the guy with the bandages over his head is supposedely 100% CGI, rendered with the same engine that the next Metal Gear game uses.

my PS triple wont turn on.

for last few months it was a struggle to turn it on (had to try it a few times and then insert the disc to start it that way or whatever) so just left it on constantly.
turned it off at the weekend though and now it wont turn back on.

green and blue come on then goes yellow and the red light flashes.

is it knackered? can you get anything for not working ones?

any deals for the slim/smaller ones?

cheers

Sounds like YLOD,, I got that and repaired it 3 or 4 times but the easiest thing to do is buy a new slim (bigger memory and slimmer obviously than what you presumably have).
You tried resets and fan tests?

cheers.

had tried a few youtube things but not them 2.
just done them but hasnt fixed it.

when i mentioned 'can you get anything for not working ones' i meant sell them for anything (just looked on ebay and can be 10 - 40 quid).


any deals on the new slim ones?

you tried cex? they give cash for dead machines if i remember correctly.
they released a new 12gb model of the slim for like £120, if downloading games is a big thing for you then id avoid

seen it cheaper than that, but thats the console

Sure I remember reading somewhere Sony will do take your broken PS3 and give you a refurb'd one for around £100, I'll see if I can find it.

Yeah they will, brother did it with my old YLOD PS3 but I'm sure he ended up paying more than that (£150?).

ta
will have a look at cex for the broken one.
by downloading games do you mean rather than buying on disc? only got discs (sometimes download a demo). only play fifa/cod/gta.

didnt realise the consoles (with bigger memory) were 200 and odd quid!

but wouldnt really want to buy a 2nd hand one.
