Bikerz Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Im going into hospital soon for a serious operation with regard to my spine and nervous system to try and correct it after my motorbike accident 3 years ago. Il be in hospital for at least a week after op and they cant say how long before Il be able to walk again. (and drive Lupo style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> )Ellen has kindley offered to buy me a PS3 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" /> to keep me entertained. Im trying to do my research and answer all my questions, but I thourght a few words on here would help me clear up a few things too.Internet, is it all inbuilt(wireless card) and free? Can I browse say clublupo on it? As in all I have to do is wirelessly connect?What wireless products do you use for yours? Netgear?What games do you recomend?Do any of you have this intercooler as they call it to keep it cool?What leads do they come with, regarding connecting to TV? HDMI , S- Video, scart? I know you can buy what you want, but what do they come with?Thanks Sheldon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam K Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 pity 90% of the games on ps3 are shít.get a 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerz Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I got a 360, just always fancyied a PS3 and not going to complain if Ellen is paying, we can all wait for GT5 tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjblyth Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 ps3 comes with normal scart lead, but if u find the right place they include a hdmi cable (play.com).they do a good deal in game, 425 quid and comes with motorstorm, resistance and fight night round 3.yeah wireless is built in, i used mine with a belkin54g router, worked a treat. you can indeed browse the web on your ps3 but i advise buying a bluetooth keyboard and mouse just to make it easier for you.i browsed club lupo quite a lot.online gaming is good fun, all in all you cant go wrong...

Bikerz Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I think some of you are missing a part of the point. I wont be able to move for a while after this op (and when i say move, I mean at all). Therefore I can browse net and play games from 1 place. Thanks for the advice. Can anyone say what I will need to connect to net? Will a netgear 834N do? Is that all I will need?CheersSheldon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjblyth Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 He can stream music from his PC to his 360.yeah by spending about 50 quid extra on the wireless thing, or by having it plugged in by ethernet... but as we know, this guy is a wireless chappy.ps3 has wireless built in, because sony are clever.

lupoN Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 i had trouble connecting mine wirelessly to a linksys router.had to buy new router.tekken 5 (downloadable) is a good bet £6 possibly?cod3 is decent, online good tooonly problem is few games support mouse & kb as yet (probably wont matter due to situation)if you are looking for cheap games......blockbuster (in leeds area at least) offer £30 trade in for any game.....play.com are selling gundam for £16.....works out quite well style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />if possible i would get HD set up....... theres a massive difference..can be done for around £230 (22" BenQ FP222WH) - monitor is supposed to do 1080p. just add speakers & cables.

Bikerz Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Ive got a 52" plasma downstairs (mum and dads) its HD, but clearly not as good as a LCD one. Its 10months old tho so quite new. I have a Llyama 24" monitor on pc (my pride and joy) the best of the best so will try on this and see if i can put up with the small screen. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupoN Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 24" should be nice. im on 22" tft and is decent.your monitor will have a DVI-D socket of some kind. HDMI to DVI-D works well, just use audio via normal cable - rca.Unreal Tournament 3 / 2007 looks good style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> cant wait for that myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 How come no-one has mentioned Motorstorm as a game to get?!!! If I were you mate that would be fist on my list! Especially as the game takes ages to complete so you will get plenty of life out of it.Get well soon!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Oh btw Bikerz if u want me to look after your car for you style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />??? haha only jokin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
