So I'm thinking about buying a Playstation 3. I've got 2 questions though: First, is there any advantage from a hardware or accessories standpoint for getting the 80GB edition than the 60GB edition? Besides the extra 20GB? Second, what are the best online capable games to get? Is DW gundam online capable? I'll only be getting one game for a while so I need something good, long, and that has replay value. Thanks.

So who can give me the low down on Metroid...is it worth it.

I can't wait to see the results if you ask. Federation or Zeon.

Who's making that flight versio and where can I get it? Gotta have that one.

Are you saying that its confirmed that freeloader and action replay no longer work because of the latest update? Anyword if nintendo is going to re-enable them with a subsequent update? That really ticks me off...I was going to order freeloader next week to play a gundam game for gamecube. Maybe I'll just get a japanese system...but Overall I'm getting a little tired of the lack of hard core games and nintendo's attitude abouth the wii.

Has anybody installed a wiikey on their wii yet. I know a site selling them for $25 and am really tempted to get one to play imports and backups.

First, Fry's Electronics has a website you can order from. Second, if you go to modchip.com or ps3owns.com and check the links you should be able to find breaker pro. Most of the shops that sell swap magic sell breaker pro. The fliptop sight might work too. I think its fliptop.com Third, not all of the ps2 modchips will play ps1 imports. Swap magic will not either. Last, a PS2 plus a fliptop ($20) or slide card ($20, but may wreck your tray motor) will allow you to play almost all of the PS2 games. If it will fit on a regular DVD it will play using either swap magic 3.6. Sometime you have to combine it with the cogswap loader (freeware). Dual layer DVD games need to be ripped down like god of war 1 and 2. Also, it is possible to make your ps2 into a fliptop with out buying one. My brother-in-law simply takes the entire top cover and tray cover off to do the swap with swap magic. I can attest that Ace and Ace2 will play with swap magic 3.6 as I have played them this way.

Looking for a Gamecube from Japan. I have one gundam game that I have to play and its unfortunately on the gamecube. Anybody have a Japanese gamecube they'd be willing to sell. Or know of a chaep used one from a shop that I can pay you back for. I really wish I would have just purchased one in japan. Looking to spend under $20 since that's what I saw them for in Akiba in March. Or if anybody knows if one of the freeloader versions will work on a wii for playing a japanese game on an american wii. Thanks

Are you guys serious! I think this is pretty much the worst show I've seen to date. Parts of it might be funny but the lousy 8 bit animation hurts my eyes. A total waste of TV time.

Your options for VFx and VFx 2 are: -PS2 using breaker pro and fliptop or a mod chip -PSP using popstation...there's a post somewhere here on how to do it -PC using an emulator. VFX sucks but VFX2 is very fun. Works best if you have the little adaptor that allows you to use a ps2 controller on your PC. They can be had at fry's electronics for about $10.

I wouldn't say useless since it could enable those of us to extract recorded programming from our direct tv DVR's to a PS3 via playing the movie. A ps3 is much easier and the legal punishments less severe than hacking Direct TV. Even if I couldn't extract it from the PS3 it would give me an added storage depot for movies when my DTV HD DVR is full. I think it would be a big plus for the PS3 and improve sales.

I could care less about the whole freeware thing. Frankly, I'll be content if I can use a line from a Driect TV box into it. If not I'll have a friend make me an adaptor that will allow it to do that. It isn't that difficult from an engineering standpoint. It's not like I'm not going to eventually get a modchip for a ps3 anyway which will mostlikely allow home brew applications to do what I want. All I need is for sony too start it off with a basic ability first.

It wouldn't be that hard to use an USB HD Tuner like the one's that pinnicle makes. Nor would it be that difficult to tie that to the hard drive. As far as encryped signals go though there is no encryption on your outbound signal from your Direct TV or cable box via the coaxial cable. Yes TIVO and Direct TV DVR encrypt what you record but they do not encrypt the outgoing coaxial that you are watching. So a regular signal from an RG6 coaxial would be able to be recorded...albiet that PS3 would probably then encrypt it as it were recorded. Now the hitch is weather Sony will allow you remove what you have recorded to a PC or Burner. That is the sticky point with DVR at the moment. Tivo has a special service, direct Tv doesn't allow you to but have been promising that its coming soon for over 3 years. I was told by an Xbox rep that the 360 will eventually be doing the same thing.

If they actually add TIVO like abilities to the PS3 I'm definitely in. I hope the reports are true.

Holy Crap the bridge my wife and I commute on collapsed. 50-100 cars fell 64 ft with the bridge into the Mississippi. Hope everyone's friends and relatives are ok.

Anybody know if the single dvd edition has the deleated scenes? I could care less about making of and commentary but i do want the deleated scenes.

My Revoltech wishlist: -Maharo -Complete set of Tenho Tenge girls -Complete set of Ikki Tousen girls -Ghost in the shell figures -A tachcoma -All of the girls from DearS -Nono, Lark and Noriko from gunbuster

Grimlock could work...he crashes into a museum next to a t-rex and thinks its cool. He's so stubborn that he refuses to scan anything else.

I'd like to see a pissed off dinobot in the movie. Grimlock rules.

Anybody notice the appearance of Nono and Lark in ep 6 of Gurren Lagann? Rei, Auska, and Maharo make have a cameo as well.

Is there a subbed version of ep16 out yet? All I'm finding are Raws.

Upconverion can be done with component...its just not very typical. My PC can upconvert DVD to 1080i or 1080p using Component cables. My DVD player also suposedly can with a firmware hack. The HDMI to DVI adaptors work good. Personally I think the whole HDMI thing is a total crock. It usually ruins your audio timing and they are so overpriced its rediculous. I had my sister who works at best buy pick me one up. It was priced at $72 but cost +20% was only $16. All for a garbage HDMI cable.

Anybody know about this Gunbuster vs. Diebuster liscense that rightstuf is reporting?

Can anyone tell me if a Japanese region playstation 3 will play America region ps3 games? For some reason I recall hearing that they were getting rid of the whole region coding thing. Thanks.
