It's possible they'll add support for more file types in the future. They added compatebility for H.264 in one firmware update. I'll keep using TVersity until then to play my xvid/avi files, and probably even after that.
Ah, so it'll suk if my 60gb failed on me some time down the road. Anyways, I'm about to update my fw but I have a v unstable connection. If I click on the update icon, will I update from the server or download first? If it updates from server directly and I dc halfway will the ps3 brick?enral
Dont worry, you download an install file first, and once it's fully downloaded you can start installing it.
And yes, it is possible to brick the PS3 (like any other system), like if you turn it off during FW update. But it's a robust toy, so you shouldnt need to worry. And if it was to brick during a system update, you could just format the HDD to get it working again, but you'd lose your saved data.
ALL PS3 games run on ALL TVs. All PS3 games are either 720p or 1080i/p. So far no "graphically heavy" games (NBA and NGS are not that heavy really) have been done in 1080p, so 720p/1080i was pretty expected. So it is probably 720p, but thats no proof..
I think the reviews affect many people when buying games, especially the more casual gamers. And Gamespot is one of the biggest game sites (if not the biggest?) so some people wont bother to look anywhere else but here. Even if it's a single score, it could have impact on sales.
Hell, even I get affected. I was going to buy a PSP game for my cousin for his birthday, and since I don't know much about the PSP the first thing I looked at was gamespot for highest scores..
What people don't realise some times is that thereare some legal implications in the release of some games or demos that prevent them from releasing at the same timeof Japan or US releases.lusitanogamer
I'd buy that explanation if it was about 3rd part games, but when it comes to games like GT5 and Ratchet & Clank, it's BS. There's not reason to not give it to all regions.
If localization is a problem, skip it. The germans and frenchs need to improve their english anyway.
Kojima has said that they're making the game easy to understand for people that are new to the series. Like if someone makes a reference to the old games, you'll be able to press a button and see a cutscene from the previous games, to understand what they're talking about.
So I think you'll be able to understand MGS4 without playing the previous ones. But I'd still recommend doing it. I've played them all and plan to replay all, to freshen up my memory before MGS4 =)
