knightni Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I just acquired a PSP GO. I need to buy a charger to make sure that it works, but I'm not liking that it doesn't have an external game drive like the original PSP has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlackSox8 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 PS3 is looking like it's going to go out on me any day now. It shuts off automatically at random times....then I get the blinking red light when it is off. Not looking good. Does anyone know if there is a chance I can back-up my saves to a hard drive? Will there be enough time before it cuts out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 If you're able to turn on your PS3 for a little bit, you can backup your game saves to a hard drive(has to be formatted correctly). There's guides all over the net that shows you how to do this. If you want to save the PS3, there's a website that takes care of the YLOD problem for $65 which is cheaper than paying $150 from Sony. It's great for any backwards compatible machines. In the end, you can also sell the PS3. Even ones with the same problems go for a decent buck on Craigslist.

Might be a little too far for you but you might be able to check for something closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will there be enough time before it cuts out? Do you have good ventilation around the PS3? Does the fan run a lot when you play? This could be as simple as the system overheating. If it's in an open area, you could pop the cover off and use and air duster. I'd pull that bad boy out of whatever crevice it is in, give it a nice cleaning, and start using it in a more open location. Is it an original-model PS3 or a PS3 Slim?

Jenksismyhero Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 If the warranty is already over i'd open that puppy up and clean it really good with a can of compressed air. My first PS3 (original 60gb version) overheated to the point that i'm pretty sure the graphics card fried itself. Luckily it was the series of ps3's that GTA IV messed up, so I got a replacement for free. Before I sent it in, I tried to clean it. You'd be amazed by the amount of dust/hair that it will collect. Also, for those looking to buy a few games, I guess Target next week (starting Sunday) is having a buy 2 get 1 free sale. Good time to stock up on some games.

Jenksismyhero Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Anyone else have NBA 2k11? I've only played a handful of games, but I still have ZERO feel for the controls. They're not very intuitive. I can't seem to do simple dribbling moves, like a crossover. Should I be using some combination with the stick and L2? Anyone have any tips?

If you hold L2 and move the left stick left and right they'll start crossing over. If you hold L2, move around the left stick, then hit your defender with Triangle, you'll almost always free up your guy for a good shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 For some reason, I really like using the Nuggets in 2K11. Carmelo Anthony is god-like if you use him correctly (mid range jumpers, occasional 3s). My friends and I had a little tournament. 4 minute quarters, I won all the games because of Carmelo, most were blowouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will there be enough time before it cuts out? wound up popping it open and reflowing the mother board in the oven. Miraculously that worked. I was able to back up everything. I found out reflowing it is just a temp fix, it will happen again. so i'm biding my time saving some money up and i'm going to buy a new ps3. Would it be possible to stop it from happening again by just getting an intercooler for the ps3....it's the 60 gb, so i'd probably have to find one online somewhere right?

flippedoutpunk Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 As lame as i thought it would be, the hot chick at the new Microsoft store in oak brook mall convinced me to shell out 150 clams on the new kinect system.. bought a couple games with it and i love it... i feel like im in the future. using only hand gestures to navigate menus. the Your Shape: Fitness Evolved game is really cool and the workouts they have you do really work, its not a gimmick. I was sweatin up a storm doing some of the cardio exercises in there. Bye bye xsport fitness gym, hello living room gym the current titles available are more for families or younger children, i imagine thats because the system itself is only about 4 days old.. im excited to see the direction Microsoft takes with this system.. the potential is basically limitless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
