You WILL go to Comic Con next time! >:D

I also know someone who made the mistake of removing his PS3 hard drive without a backup. Upon reinsertion, it would only let him reformat the drive. He lost everything.

So back up your hard drives, folks. The PS3 backup utility is awesome because it copies over protected saves as well as settings, and just about everything else. If you need to delete a few game data files to make it fit onto whatever size external hard drive you have, you should still do it. The risks are simply too high not to.

duplissi5045d ago

what! thats nonsense... i can remove my hdd and reinstall it and be none the wiser. hell when i bought my ps3 i thought you could just bring your drive to a friends house (ala 360) and just swap out and you would have your saves, games and settings... but no you cant, but i was just fine when i returned my drive to its home.

duplissi5044d ago (Edited 5044d ago )

perhaps i should make a youtube video showing whomever disagreed with me that they are wrong...

i have removed my hdd, and i have reinserted it with no issue at all.
more than once. but yes you should backup regularly.

bruddahmanmatt5045d ago

I feel the writer's pain. My PS3 died in late May and I've just been too irritated to do anything about it for the time being. To be honest, I probably wouldn't have been upset if there were no such thing as effing stupid locked game saves. Whatever could be backed up was backed up to a memory stick and put onto my laptop, but unfortunately, locked saves like KZ2 and SFIV are history. We play games to beat them. Locked game saves are probably one of the dumbest ideas to ever be born in the VG industry. And for what? To protect against players "improperly obtaining trophies?" Stupid.

Darkstorn5045d ago

Your house is very...suburban.

BeardedGamerShow5045d ago

Not sure what you're implying there...but it is a house in the suburbs...so yes.

Jeff2575045d ago

Man that sucked. Ive had days like that as well where nothing seemed to go roght at all for me.

Exclusive Games to Buy for Your New PS3

3xG says: "With so many titles to choose from its hard to pick just a handful to accompany your new console. Below we have comprised a mixed genre list of both retail and downloadable games for your playing pleasure."

GWAVE5039d ago

A great list, full of variety. I would have taken out some of their choices to find room for Valkyria Chronicles and Killzone 2, but hey, you can't have everything.

Biggest5039d ago

Why are those guys responding to an hour old troll account?

I would replace Resistance 1 with 2, and definitely find a place for Killzone 2. At least an honorable mention. But unless you're going to list them all. . . Damn! And what about Heavy Rain?

HydraxFFx5039d ago

This article is about games you can buy and download on PSN store.

Biggest5039d ago

This article has two distinct lists. The first list is downloadable titles which come from PSN. The second list is retail titles that come from retail stores.

MrAwesome5039d ago

PS3 is the king of exclusives (no fanboism)

fucadastates5039d ago

Valkyria Chronicles thats epic

Persistantthug5039d ago

VALKYRIA CHONRICLES in place of ModNation Racers.

ModNation RAcers is fun, but Valkyria Chonicles is a near masterpiece.

sikbeta5039d ago (Edited 5039d ago )

Hack and Slash = GOW Collection + GOWIII -> The Beast!
Racing Sim = The Real Driving Simulator 5
Open World = inFAMOUS
Tactical TPS = SOCOM:Confrontation -> *waiting for SOCOM4*
RPG = Demon's Souls + Valkyria Chronicles + WKC
Platform = R&C:ToD + R&C:Q4B + R&C:ACiT + LBP = Play.Create.Share
Sports = MLB: The Show

So on...

TEFL0N_D0N_815039d ago

Umm.. don't buy Haze, and don't buy Lair. The rest should be good.

fucadastates5039d ago

lair with normal controlles is great. what about the gameplay, narrativ and graphics (æstetiske) yont you like.

haze tho suck

MexicanAppleThief5039d ago

I highly recommend Valkyria Chronicles to anyone with an 'open' taste in games. Very underrated but an absolute gem, no trophies though. :(

PickAShoe5039d ago

that game needs some trophy loving

Xbox 360 vs. PS3 = Pepsi vs. Coke for gamers

»PS3 or Xbox 360?« is not the only question of principle in the whole games industry. At the moment it is the »Pepsi or Coke« question for gamers, Videogameszone thinks.

if you prefer the ps3 good for you

edhe5039d ago

Pff, nube - should be closing the tab!

But seriously that site is trash, absolute mince - sack the approvers!

mikeslemonade5039d ago

In this case PS3 would be the coke and 360 is the pepsi. Most kids like pepsi better. Coke has been around longer.

darthv725039d ago (Edited 5039d ago )

Mike, what happened to coke when they tried to reinvent themselves with new coke?

You may be on to something. PS3 is like the new coke. Messed with the formula that was tried and true and then realized shortly after they had to scrap it and go back to what made coke...COKE.

Sony messed with the ps3 formula and then realized they had to go back to what made the PS brand so traditional. Concentrating on the games instead of trying to be all snazzy like 360 does with everything BUT games.

I like both (Pepsi/Coke) and it just happens that coke is more supported throughout the world where pepsi is really big in the US.

But I like Sprite.
Damn, I'm always left out.

Downtown boogey5039d ago

It's not like you didn't deserve to be, you freak!!

BeaArthur5039d ago

Technically Sprite is a coke brand. Maybe that means you just like arcade games.

WhatARump5039d ago

I dunno I don't really care either way about pepsi/coke or ps3/xbox360

Downtown boogey5039d ago

Pepsi or Coke... Whatever.
PS3 or 360... Might taste the same but sure as hell aren't the same thing!!

WhatARump5039d ago

I wasn't talking about literal taste but rather personal preference :)

bjornbear5039d ago

depends on my mood.

however, if we were talking consoles, I can only afford one pepsi or one coke, and atm im in the mood for coke, so here's my 2 cents

morkendo5039d ago

to say i like ps3,i like 360?
like Rodney King would say : CANT WE ALL GET-ALONG
and just GAME ON!! for peep sake.

i prefer the PS3 cuz it's beast. i always had a 360 but it broke... but i'm picking up the 4GB console today.

HeroXIV5039d ago

Coca Cola just tastes better than pepsi. Pepsi has a weird after taste and the carbonatedness (lol) is too low. Gets flat quicker than coke.

Projekt7tuning5039d ago (Edited 5039d ago )

Yea coke burns.....Oh, OH!.... Were talking about the drinks. That's embarrassing.

Umbrella Corp5039d ago (Edited 5039d ago )

wanna get high?

ZombieAutopsy5039d ago

Coke doesn't burn so I'd stop doing the shit you're getting it's most likely mixd with something.....or just roll a 151 (at least that's what I think they where called).

Projekt7tuning5039d ago

Guys, we forgot about Captain and Coke.
Shame on us.

ZombieAutopsy5039d ago

Pepsi taste like flat coke to me but in the end it's all about Lost energy drinks.

Downtown boogey5039d ago

It's true though that Pepsi DOES get flat faster.

DA_SHREDDER5039d ago

Pepsi does get flat faster, but it taste way better than coke when its just opened

Not really an accurate analogy, suggesting there's no significant difference is silly. Then again this is another crappy .de article, so what did I expect.

hennessey865039d ago
