The Gap's and Sid's "gaming nerd thread"
Hey guys,
Myself and Irish-sid have an (unhealthy) interest in gaming. From retro (atari, master system, snes etc) up to the latest consols like (well specifically) the Ps3. Online, offline sports FPS role play and so on.
We are gonna post any news and chat on this subject in here.
It can and should also be used as a game arranging thread if any of you guys are online with the PS3 and wanna hook up for a match.

Rumor: Firmware 2.7 Details Leaked
A member of the GameTrailers Forums said the following:
“Okay, GT, i lurk these boards a lot so i’m going to throw you a bone. Take it or leave it. Anyway, A friend of mine works in an R&D department at Sony and recently let me in on the firmware details for 2.7. If you were disappointed with 2.6, you’ll probably like what you’re about to hear, but it’s still missing some very crucial (and heavily requested) features. Here’s a list of the things he told me will be changed:
Friends List:
- Voice Messaging is now available as an alternative to text after selecting a user on the friends list. Voice message recordings are capped at 30 seconds.
- Home Integration: Saved Playstation Home avatar photos can be selected as photo ID for Gamer Card/Friends List.
- Trophy number and Gamer Level are listed under Friend names for quick reference.
Gamer Card & Trophies:
- Gamer Card layout has been changed to more closely resemble the Playstation Store aesthetic.
- Past Trophy information can be viewed in detail by selecting “Recent Trophy History” option.
- Newly aquired trophies auto-sync in the background
- Server infrastructure for Trophies has been optimized. Resulting in faster retrieval time for Gamer Card and Trophy information.
In-Game XMB:
- Loading time for In-Game XMB has been drastically reduced, resulting in a more seemless in-game experience.
- “Theme settings” options while in-game is now available, allowing custom themes to be applied to the In-Game XMB.
- Internet Browser can now be accessed while in-game.
- Voice messaging and voice chat options can be used while in-game.
- Options that cannot be used in the XMB during game sessions are grayed out (but still selectable) to eliminate user accessibility confusion.
Misc:
- Other slight UI tweaks and enhancements.
Seems like there is still no word on cross-game invites, but i think the integration of Home (as small as it is) into the rest of the Playstation experience is still a step in the right direction. The update is pretty big but he said it would hit sometime in Q2 of ‘09″.

Yea preordered it. Shit load of games for the 360, 25+ . Only 4 games for the PS3 (val chronicles, mgs, uncharted , LBP). 1 game for the wii (mario).
"I don't expect anyone to come and contradict me."
Sid was saying he is thinking of getting the 360 for the back catelogue alone - It has started me thinking along the same lines

lbp was a bit of a flop. it was hyped to the max.
how dare you associate me with the shitbox!!
LBP - I predicted as much - it was great in that it was different. But you have to want to play a game, not just look at it.
Ps sid, our we still going to the pub?
And don't deny it
