Mine has definitely frozen both offline and online. I think offline it was before I reached the main menu, it just crashed. Online I find it often doesnt allow me to spawn unless I click respawn mutliple times. Also had a few freezes while actually playing online. I can't imagine how it would effect your TV. obesity007

I think the reason u froze offline is because at the main menue there is always a saving point. U will be able to see the Auto Save Square in the top right corner, if u attempt to rush through it in the begining u may run into those problems. I just wait until the saving is done and then choose the option I want to play.

I haven't really been wowed by anything I've seen so far. It's gonna have to pass below the $20 mark before I pick it up. ResEvil has really lost it's way.

Agreed, RE4 was the last great thing to the series. The horror of the first 3 RE Games was amazing.

RE5 didnt do anything new, the character movement needed to be scraped and changed. and we need real zombies lol

Highly doubt it, If anything they will focus on Kinect and not Ps move.

I did not freez in the menues before, but I ran into sveral freezes when playing online. The game is just too powerful for the system and uses alot of its resources.

My friends suffered the same problem and they freez also in game ( Multiplayer)

Maybe there is a patch for it at somepoint.

VOIP is improved though and has been pretty good. ( It can be imporved)

as for the Lag, the only time I lagged is on the first day I got the game. Now its really smooth and never had an issue.

It has an interesting theory behind it for sure.

I wont get it at full price and I'll wait for reviews.

There are issues though:

1) Its SlantSix that working on it and we know how they delivered Socom Confrontation broken...Too many large updates and the game's DLC took ages.

2) RE5 was not great but coming back to Racoon City is nice, I'm not sure how big the maps will be for multiplayer and weather its linear or not.

I don't really want them to change the XMB. I like it, and no need to fix what isn't broken. I much prefer the XMB to what the Vita has, so I hope Sony doesn't change the PS3 menu to that.

That I agree with. I perosnally did'nt like the Vita Interface and now that u mention it.....it would be quite scary to see that become the new standard :S

What about some kind of page filing to reduce the stress on the ram? Is something like that even possible for the PS3?ydnarrewop

I'm sure sony has alot of coders and they can lower the stress on the RAM....they just need to make it a project. To be honest, I don't just want to see games show up at E3 or more Vita news. There should be alot more.

Its the lack of ram, not the XMB itself, that makes it laggy when you bring it up in the middle of a game. And personally I think the XMB is fine, don't change what isn't broken.

If a lack of ram is the problem then they need to work around that and make it faster. I don't know much about this kind of stuff but from what I can see the system tries to load everything at one time which slows it down. If they could make the XMB just load a few things at one time then maybe it could be faster. They could also redesign the system to work with less ram. It is their system and they do know it best so they should know how to speed it up. I hope they don't change it because I also like it but I would like it to move faster.

exactly, If the RAM is a problem, then when the PS button is pressed in game it should only load what u can actually use. Messages & settings. Music, Ps store, & videos all load up when the ps button is pressed.

As for the design of the XMB itself, it can only be in terms of design when u are not running the game.

I honestly hate the way u open msgs...for example: open a msg sent by a friend, reply and then press Circle---ur back to the XMB not the inbox, so u gotta click msgs again and go to recived.

Looking forward for E3 this year, I'm hoping Sony will reveal a new XMB interface to keep things fresh. Integrating the move more is a must. I personally do not use PS home, but integrating it to the XMB would be a good idea.

They need to patch it up anyway, pressing the PS button on a controller when inside a game some times ends up sluggish.


I ended up finding some concepts online.

Its a start, and since Ps4 is not showing up at E3, Sony should still keep things fresh.

Happend to me several times, it doesnt freez, but it takes a while to delete someone.

Try waiting until the whole friendlist loads up, and then delete.
Trying to delete from when ur inside a game will take longer (my expereince)

I think the XMB overall needs a patch, and possibly a new look. The Ps3 should also be more Move compatible.

Hopefully at E3 we will see new plans for the XMB and maybe the integration of Home into it, since people don really care about turning Home on.
