Both games have demos uploaded onto the PSN.

Download them and then see for yourself which is better.
I won't say anything here because both are entirely different games on different genres, they aren't meant to be compared.

my frenn had a ps3 , well the console working fine etc...but sometimes the console making some sounds like ( dunt know how to describe , but u know like CRT TV sometimes making "pop" sound once in a while ) is that normal for his PS3? for me even TV and Amp making that kindda sound when in operation after it getting warming up...

but my friend told me , the sound doesnt effect the game play or what so ever...perfect..since his PS3 brand new...but he just wonder why? can anybody explain or do share the experience?

Thats very normal.

Thats when the PS3's fan starts to slow down or either speed up. Will also happen when the lens in the Blu-ray drive starts to move up or down.

Its most apparent when you just switch off your PS3, listen closely for about 2-3 minutes. You'll here the crackling and popping sounds all over. Nothing to worry about anyways, its how the mechanical stuff works in the PS3.

Ah..so I'm not the only one encountering this problem..lol

Oh ok thanks for the tips ... BTW I dun have wireless in my house

popping sounds!? i wonder why it'll occur? coming from the fans or vibration from HDD/BD Drive?

anyway, i havn't notice such sounds, mb cos i'm not close enough/observant enough

I just explained why it occur dude
Most of the time it isn't apparent really, its not something that annoys or anything. I hear it alot because my PS3 is placed right next to my monitor.

Also forgot the add one thing, the HDD can also click when the spindle-head slows to a halt, thats how spindle-heads on 2.5" drives work.

SSJBen: regarding that HDD sound...its also the same sound of disk head crash....... = ((

Long clicks = HDD crash or in more specific forms, the spindle head is dead.

Short-burst clicks = The spindle head is moving vigorously to read data from the platters.

2.5" HDDs usually only has 1 or 2 heads due to the small size so the work on the spindle head does is usually twice the amount of a 3.5"(though WD, Seagate and Samsung's 2-platter 640GB HDDs beg to differ).

speaking of hdd, im thinkin of doing an upgrade, i got the sing 40g ps3, what would the best hdd drive be for a replacement, 5400 or 7200? can it support the 320g+ drives? because i read somewhere on the thread some ps3 can read only 250g drives or somethin of the sort. hope someone can help me straighten this out. now i gotta go check the price lists for them drives. heh

7200RPM 2.5" drives boast a significant price bump over the 5400RPM drives. So it isn't worth it, you do get a slight boost in load times and installation times, but the extra price you pay for it over the 5400rpm is not justified. Furthermore, 7200rpm drives runs a slight bit hotter and does make more noise, its not something major however.

Originally, the PS3 launched with the 60BG and 20GB version. The first and early second versions of these units only had official support up to 250GB. Back then 320GB was around but it was really scarce and the prices was just too high(IINM, a Seagate 320GB 2.5" back then was RM890+).

Later on after that, the last revision of the 60GB changed the official support to 500GB. And every PS3 SKU and revision changes after that followed suit.

There is however alot of people who had no problems chucking in a 320GB HDD or even 500GB HDD into their launch 60GB PS3s though.

hi i m new to ps3. i can attach external hdd to my ps3 rite (with fat formatted)?

jus wondering wat can i do with ps3?
can ps3 play all sorts of media and audio files? like rm, rmvb, mpeg, mp3, mp4, ape, flav etc?

would it have negative effect if i play all these with ps3? thanks

thanks for the thorough reply. SSJben

yeah the ps3 can play a bunch of media files, like mp3, mp4, mpeg. but im not sure about the rm files, the ps3 is meant to be a media centre. some people install linux into their systems to play more stuff and even run emulators. i think theres links for that on the first page

ps3 OS is not mend to play Real Media files.. but it can be play with the linux OS if u install it..

Filetypes that can be played on the PS3(without Linux): http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en.../filetypes.html

Its all stated in your manual, read it first next time.

nood here, is it true that the new 80G is using newer and smaller chip that consumes less power? considering 80G and 40G and kinda torn apart now.

The new core-80GB uses 65nm process for the Cell and RSX. So yes it does consume less power, the savings however isn't much. Previously the 40GB(65nm Cell, 90nm RSX) takes a toll at 141w at peak load, the new core-80GB goes around 119w at peak load.

Results may vary of course.

icic. so it's true eh? thanks. will get the 80G then. pain for a while but can enjoy using it for >5 years... just like the ps2.
