    Gaming Trial Games

    I've just downloaded the trial version of Joe Danger from the PSN. When I first started it there were lots of "Coming Soon" levels that I assumed would unlock if/when I bought the full game. But they seem to unlock as I play through the trial! So my question is this, other than trophies, does...

    Gaming PS3 Networking & Sharing

    Hi guys, I've just moved house, hooked up my PS3 and PC to a new Wirelesss network, and I'm struggling to get them to play nice together. Before I start messing around with settings on both of them, I just wanted to check if anyone knew a reason that PSN being down would stop me from sharing...

    Gaming NETGEAR Wireless Dongle Help

    If I remember correctly, you can uninstall the Netgear programme and just control the dongle using Windows. I'd suggest uninstalling it, reboot the PC, and then set up a network in the same way you normally would in Vista. There's a setting somewhere that says "Allow Windows to Configure this...

    PS3, iPhone hacker sets sights on Windows phones

    GeoHotz is at it again, this time with Windows 7. In a twist to the now-familiar tale though, Microsoft seem to be supporting the idea! Ketchup

    Portal 2 Has Cross Platform Play

    Aah, that's alright then. Not sure which version I'd prefer to play, I played the original on Xbox 360, but have since sold that and gotten a PS3. It'll probably come down to price in the end, £25 on the PC vs £40 on PS3 is a bit of a difference to play the same game. Not sure that the "free"...

    Portal 2 Has Cross Platform Play

    Source PS3 owners get a bit of a bonus when buying Portal 2 it seems. A free copy of the PC/Mac version to play via Steam! And the ability to play PS3 vs PC/Mac multiplayer games! It'll be interesting to see how it turns out, most of the time I've heard cross-platform experiments have...

    Sony: 'We will fix' PS3 hack with updates

    I'll be honest, I would love all this to be a massive hoax by Sony, just to boost PS3 sales. GeoHot and fail0verflow team to get a handsome pay off, Sony to get PS3s into lots of new homes during a difficult time financially, and the only thing that the whiny pirates can get for free are demos...

    Hardware just bought ps3

    I'd be careful with the video cables, I looked into it myself a while ago and it seems that cables like those are only one direction. So they'll take your VGA output from a graphics card and show it on your HDMI TV for example, but in the other direction (HDMI output on PS3 to VGA input on...

    PS3 keys finally released

    Somebody made a post in one of the other topics (which I now can't find and therefore give credit to) but what is this likely to mean for PS3 backwards compatibility on a PS4?

    I'm getting a free game on Steam. What get?

    28.3 Hours on Call of Duty 857.9 Hours on Counter Strike Source ~90 Hours of Left for Dead (1 & 2) 177.4 Hours on Team Fortress 2 I'm guessing you play online a lot, so any of the newer Call of Duty games? You seem to have a lot that are unplayed though, games like Mass Effect 1 & 2, GTA4...
