Don't blame this guy, not his fault that the game was designed in such a way it would frustrate a hell of a lot of people. The game, in the xbox, controlled by the control, was causing him all the problems. It's not hard to blame the control at all - game developers should start taking responsibility for including making impossible (for the most of us) missions etc. I say 1) give us an option to instantly win IF we feel like we're going to smash the thing, 2) pay for broken controls. I type this with 5 stiches in my hands and one obliterated 360 control (which took a hacksaw and hammer to completely smash) - i sure showed criterion games that i'm not going to put up with any of their sicko "lets make ppl try this mission 140 times and leave no room for mistakes" attitude.

Do the 32/64/128mb ones really work, or are they completely fake? I have 2 16's that work fine, but one obviously imitated the official 8mb sony packaging...
What!?! Have you ever once used a portable cd player? the worst I've ever had happen was the disk wasn't on all the way and hit the ps2, I turned it off reinserted the disk and played my burnout.109630
Course I have, I just don't like the idea of having to use force/coercion to pop my discs out. I mean, I've never had a problem with a pc drive, which retracts, but who knows, I could have a weak made disc or 2 that might just crack after too much in the way of manual eject.
bigM: You mean, when putting the disc in, only press the very middle on, and when getting it out, grab the edges and gently lift up while holding the spindle? Because with the latter, I can't see anyway to get it out without touching the disc surface...
Ok, I once had a laptop where you manually put the disc on a spindle instead of it loading in a tray. Once, a disc cracked from the inner-ring, out, which has never happened with a tray drive. I've got a slim ps2, and already san andreas (mind you I had to get it 2nd hand, the banned aus version) which is already showing signs of the ring eroding away. Has anyone found with the slims that menaully having to put them on the spindle cracks discs? I just push down on the spindle, holding one/both sides of the disc, and push it out. Is this the right way to do it? Has anyone else found this problem?
The majority of the downloadable game saves require you to have the device they were made with, such as the Action Max Replay, as they get written in a way only the device can read and have to be "unzipped" by it. Most likely you will not get them to work on their own.
Now, PS2/ PSOne games/ movies- they are fully region coded so NTSC games and movies will not work on the PAL PS3. You would have to use the PAL versions. Memory cards? Won't need them (no slots for them anyway). You set up a virtual memory card on the PS3's hard drive and the saves go to this. There are some sites out there that list movies that are region free on DVD and Blu-Ray- a Google search should find them unless someone links one here first.

That's odd, as the only save device for the ps3 is the "xploder", and gamefaqs always list which device is needed for the save. Hop over there and check out their saves for GTA4 - it's just called "virtual directory"...
I'm only able to get a PAL system, which doesn't come with a flash card reader. Can I download the gamesaves from a site like gamefaqs, and put them on a usb drive, or what? For that matter, will NTSC ps2/1 games/movies/etc work on a PAL console? For that matter, do wer still need memory cards with these?
best thing to do with video is run a TVersity media server, it will convert all videos to the format for your ps3. Yes to divx, mpeg1/2, no to xvid. Mp3 playback during games will be added with update 2.40. The ps3 cooling system is very good, quiet also.budboarder
In my experience, dvd players that are advertised as playing divx play xvid, but I imagine sony are a bit more stringent than $30 dvd player manufacturers :P Well, it sounds like I'll be getting one, I just have to go through the pain of buying 2 games i have on the 360 for the ps3, and run through gta 4 again (which shouldn't be too hard - it's the only GTA i've been able to beat purely by myself)
