Mattwilko92 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Play TV is a freeview tuner box, but with that working with your ps3 allows you to record live freeview channels. Great if you dont have sky and its a one off charge of £59. Only limit on recording is the size of your drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 we have sky because freview doesn't work round here, even after they turned off Terroristrial TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4T VW Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Play TV is a freeview tuner box, but with that working with your ps3 allows you to record live freeview channels. Great if you dont have sky and its a one off charge of £59. Only limit on recording is the size of your drive The gadget show did a test of this the other week and it failed badly. Only 1 tuner that didnt really work plus loads of other stuff The PS3 though is magic. Ive never used a console so much and not just for games. Ive upgraded the HDD to 320 i think and now have loads of music and videos on there.It boots faster then any PC so have a click play of a tune.I have the whole of red dwarf on there and watch and episode a night. Thats in Div-X too and great quality!Plus the awesome games and a blue-ray player.Get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 could someone PM on how to put a bigger HDD in it?Take the old one out. Put the new one in. It really is a piece of piss, it just unscrews from the side, no need to take everything apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeAl Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 It has to be SATA and a 2.5" Drive rather than a 3.5" Drive though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al3x kay Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 It has to be SATA and a 2.5" Drive rather than a 3.5" Drive though...Ah bugger! lucky I have a couple of those kicking around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4T VW Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 It needs to be SATA 1, not 2. And 5400RPM...Have a look on the PS3 for a guide.The OS is the updates from Sony so you just download one to a flash drive and boot it with that in. Then it installs it all for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andys101 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Haven't read the actual thread have you?No not realy - but still think XBOX 360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Then maybe you should read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 No not realy - but still think XBOX 360Stop being retarded... I have stated either three or four times on this thread that I'm not buying it for a games console. I'm mainly buying it for a Blu-Ray player. and because its only a few quid dearer than most Stand alone blu-ray disc players I may aswel get the console and have the added bonus of games as and when I please... The Failbox is a complete waste of money for the simple reason I still wouldn't have a blu-ray disc player.The Failbox is never going to have Gran Tourismo 5 either.Anyway - Either learn to read the question before answering itor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam K Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) gay, the offer is gone off the website.argos were doing ps3, little big planet, gt5-p, and an accessory pack for £299. Edited November 17, 2008 by Adam K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Play.com just amended their offer...For the same £299.99 you now get PS3 80gb, GTA-IV, 300 Blu-Ray Disc, Blu-Ray Remote and now you get Little big plannet aswel !! How cool is that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Little Big Planet is canny cool. I never play games, they just don't interest me any more. It's the only game other than Guitar Hero that can keep me amused. Suppose it's because it's pretty much a simple platformer like I used to play when I was little.
