Early impressions of the PS3

[Streeteh]

There is an option mate, it's just not in the PSStore. Go back to the XMB and there's an option like 'account management' or something along those lines, all card details are stored in there.

Yep found it after consulting the PS Forums.

Not a fan of that organisation of cards. Really used to the way the 360 marketplace says 'insufficient funds' then gives you options to add more

I do you like how you can remove card details though

But, let us not forget, there is also a minimum pay in limit, so whilst SuperStardust is £5 and change, you actually need to put £10 in.

Ooh you have to put £10 in rather than just pay per item? :/
I'll wait a bit then, don't really want to do that right now.

I can't remember if it's in £5 or £10 iterations, but it caught me out when I got one.

I had the exact same opinions when I first got my PS3 (and xbox was still functional) and pretty soon I much preferred the games on PS3 and wasn't that bothered about the death of the xbox.

As far as games go, I'd give inFAMOUS a blast. I'm playing it a second time through and it's good fun

btw, wots your PSN?

Same here for me really. My Xbox died on Saturday and Im in two minds as to whether I can be arsed replacing it. I spend most of my console time on PS3.

£5.00 is the minimum transaction spend but you don't have to do it in multiples of £5.00 or £10.00 iirc. I know I bought a few songs for SingStar over Xmas and they came to about £7.00 and it just did the card transaction without adding extra funds to the wallet.

Other games to have Little Big Planet and Wipeout HD

As for InFamous, it's a good game but can get a bit repetitive.

[Haly]

Ahh £5 isn't too bad

I'll probably rent inFamous sometime, looks more of a rental game for me. I've got LBP from Nokkon so I'll give that a shot at some point soon

I will add you later Haly

Another good thing as well about the PS3 is that the Hard Driver is extremely easy to upgrade. On Sat, I backed up the save game files to Flash Drive, installed new 320gb HDD and restored the save file within 45 mins.

What I would like is for Sony to do something with the system menu so you can easily see what files you have where and see how much free space you have. A bit like 'My Computer' on a PC

Aye, if you're going to be playing it pretty full on it'll be a rental option. I just fire it up like once a week so it plays well.
I struggle to tare myself away from CoD much more than that!
