Just scored my self a PS3, and was wondering if any Melbourne people out there have any PS3 games, or where to buy them locally?

Console came with Gundam which doesnt interest me.

Dont think blockbuster has ps3 games for rent at this stage so im stuck with a console and no games :happy:

Cheers

Patrick

at the moment you can only import games, Release dates for games are around launch here so maybe hit up play-asia, works out cheaper but the RFOM game has blood cut out of it for the Asian market so I have been told so might be better to wait for it to be released here.

this is true

BUT if you download an america save game file, the blood will be turn on... check out ps3forums.com for more details

not for PS3 games it's not. region free - finally.

BUT

normal regions still apply for DVDs, and PS2 games, and PS1 games, and there are new regions I believe for BD.

as I said above. PS3 games are region free. ie there are no regions. so yes you can play and PS3 game, from any country on any PS3.

BUT

dvds, BDs etc are region encoded so you can play discs from the region that corresponds to your console only.

im thinking of grabbing a gold one from play asia, which would mean its japanese... but not 100% sure if i can play .avi or .wmv on PSP...

Also, if the PSP is japanese with english language selected, and the games were english, i wouldnt have any unnecessary japanese popping up would i?

In regards to the japanese PSP as long as the language is set to english and your playing games that support english you won't have a problem. Another thing to remember about the japanese games is that here in Australia "X" is used to confirm and "O" is used to cancel. The japanese ones are reversed "X" is back and "O" is confirm. If you are playing an Australian game then it will be setup for Australia but as I mentioned if you play a Japanese game then the confirm and cancel buttons are reversed.

Also if I remember correctly the PSP doen't support AVI files you will need to convert your movies to mp4 (I think) there is plenty of free programs to convert them for you.

Just to clarify - ps3 games are region free but im pretty sure you cant, for example, get a ntsc version of a ps2 game and play it on your ps3. ps2 and ps1 games are still region locked....

But anyway, i dont have any ps3 games yet, but have resistance and ridge racer on preorder for the 23rd!

Sorry BB, but I did need that clarification from spin psycle :laugh:

I should have been more specific with my question, what I actually wanted to know, was "can i play my old psx + ps2 ntsc and pal games on a ps3"

......maybe i should just get the ps2 chipped, at least that way i can toss the psx and still play all my games, and then there's some space to fit another console. :happy:

B/2 Europe, Greenland, French territories, Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

C/3 India, Nepal, Mainland China, Russia, Central and South Asia.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
