Played the Uncharted demo today and it's superb- definitely a strong reason to own a PS3 and I have a copy on its way to me now :D Resistance was absolute shit though. It looked awful and controlled like shit, I'll be avoiding that one.

I've also bought Motorstorm today for £15 which wasn't bad, it's pretty fun at least and a bit of a bargain at that price :(

Quick question guys. I have a JP PS3 running at 720p through HDMI, just bought Destruction Derby from the UK store and I keep getting a message stating that the game won't run at the current video settings.

Any ideas on what is up?

I think there's been a couple of people on this thread who have had the same problem in the past (myself included), but have eventually managed to get the PS1 games running fine. Basically, I think it's something to do with overseas PS3s not knowing that they support the resolution to run UK PS1 titles, so it's a matter of fiddling with settings until it's convinced it can.

It's worth experimenting with all the video settings to see if anything suddenly gets it to work (that's what eventually worked for me). If that does nothing, I think others have got round it by attaching their PS3 to a SDTV. As long as you can get it to work once, you should then be able to put your settings back to what they were originally, and it should run every time.

I seem to be having persistent problems with the networking on this PS3. It downloads demos and suchlike fine. It plays online fine, what little of that I have done. But I constantly get signed out of PSN, which is a minor irritant if it happens while I'm browsing the store, since obv I get booted out of that too. Today I tried to set it up with WMP11 on my XP computer to try sharing MP3s etc. After quite a lot of faff I got the PS3 and WMP to see each other, but when I tried to browse from the PS3 I just got a DNLA protocol error before I could see any files or whatever. Then it dropped off the list and now I can't make it see WMP11 again. Augh!

I have the PS3 in the DMZ. Both it and the PC are on static IPs in the same subnet etc. It's a wired connection both ways. Ports 80, 443 and 5223 are forwarded to the PS3 on TCP, and ports 3478 and 3479 are forwarded on UDP. I can't think of anything else relevant but gnash and wail and all that.

Any ideas about all that lot?

I think the only 100% way to do it was with HDMI. When I had the issue everythig else failed to work, no matter how it was connected or set. However it worked over hdmi on my parents tv straight away and then on hdmi when i bought a gaming monitor

Great uk psn update to start the year sony fantastic. :(

I doubt it's really their fault, I imagine most of them and the publishers who supply the demos are still on holiday!

.::: Why are people still expecting the Home Beta? Don't you think that will be released with a little bit more fanfare? Just stop expecting it every week, it's almost megaton.

It's ok, it's gonna be next Thursday I CAN FEEL IT!

That's the point, isn't it? It's a running joke? At least I assumed people weren't being genuine.

Speaking of demos, I read yesterday that Gamefront (via Kotaku) are reporting that the Japanese PSN might see a Yakuza 3 demo by the end of the month. I actually haven't gotten around to playing the original yet, but any game with turtle racing peaks my interest. Oh, and this trailer upped my anticipation some too, even if it is a bit overly long; it might just be the music but it reminds me a bit of Samurai Champloo.

Soong and I are being totally genuine.

I'm looking forward to it, hopefully it'll be playable-enough even with all the Japanese text.

So I got a copy of Ico and was wondering how you create a save for it?

The game just told me that there was no memory card present and that I wouldn't be able to save. So do I have to set one up before hand?

Yeah, you have to set up a virtual memory card in the front end PS3 options.
