Late reply, but as I recall I just mashed X or start or something. It would skip the animations or the entire turn, though I don't remember well, as I played the game like six months ago.

Eh, people who don't know what those are will skip past them anyway.

Nothing about my beloved Photo Viewer yet?
Also, I didn't see it in your OP, but I thought it would be handy to include this link:

. Also, 2 pages, not 4 >:[I've added a few more advices in the game sharing section, so that people really understand that it is not a 100% safe process and there can be issues related to it, especially in case of hardware failures, and sharing with "strangers".
Maybe I'll update the OP later to break down the FAQ into subsections (HW, SW, etc.)

Awesome thread, Raist! You may also want to add that the slim also supports the "Bravia Sync" (HDMI-CEC) feature so you can control the PS3 with your Bravia remote.
You may also want to add that the slim also supports the "Bravia Sync" (HDMI-CEC) feature so you can control the PS3 with your Bravia remote.It's really not that hard.
1. Select Router From List: http://www.portforward.com/
2. Skip Advertisement and click Sony PlayStation 3
3. Follow instructions
You'll have to set a static IP for your PS3 in either case (Port Forwarding or DMZ)
For Canadians on Telus' Siemens SE567 router, you can port forward or DMZ if you're using a wired connection. If using wireless, you HAVE to enable UPnP. I tried everything and that's the only way to get it to work wirelessly. Wired worked fine without though.
Here ya go:shinshero said:

if you only have Paypal, shopto has it as well, through a couple pounds more expensive. Still, at that price, it's a steal.

I'd like these much better if they had just a very slight upward curve. They're curved WAY too far for me! I know a lot of other people like them, though.Totobeni said:Real Triggers , must buy for PS3 owners

The 'H' stands for hentai.
I definitely recommend Valkyria Chronicles for the new PS3 owners, they will enjoy it quite a bit.

You probably will enjoy it because it is a great game but honestly there is so much in that game that makes more sense and is so much more enjoyable if you know what is going on. TBH I would not recommend playing it until you have played the first 3.
If however you will never play the first 3, well then go ahead and play it because the game should not be skipped. But you will probably want to go back and play the first 3 at that point and then will regret not playing them in order.

I never played the first 3 and went straight to #4. I was confused about the storyline most of the time, but it was still awesome! :lolkodt said:You probably will enjoy it because it is a great game but honestly there is so much in that game that makes more sense and is so much more enjoyable if you know what is going on.

I never played any MGS before buying MGS4: GotP.
I was blown away like never before in my life. I never had such an experience with movies, books, other games etc.
I mean, I read all these great things about MGS, I was hyped - but the game itself surpassed my craziest dreams. It was the 1st (and, atm, the last) game that, BY FAR, exceeded my hype for it.

Folklore is pretty awesome too. Nobody ever mentions it though.
Added this to the OP for people who'd like to get a PS2 BC enabled PS3.
Hope there's no mistake.
Q. I really want PS2 BC! I'm going to track down an older SKU. What should I know to avoid being scammed?
A. Since it can be easily replaced, the HDD's size is absolutely no indication as to whether the console is BC enabled or not. The only reliable clues are:
- Number of USB ports. All SKUs with PS2 BC have 4.
- Serial number. This helps too, and also allows you to know whether you'll get a "near-perfect BC" SKU, or a "not-so-perfect-but-still-decent BC" SKU.
Serials for full HW BC start with: CECHA (launch NTSC 60GB), CECHB (launch NTSC 20GB).
Serials for HW/SW BC start with: CECHC (launch PAL 60GB), CECHE (early 80GB SKUs).
Since it seems to be asked a lot, also added infos on memory card readers.

If you enter the world of PS3, you better make damn sure you get a nice little surround sound system. Anyway,
Retail (only doing exclusives):
1. Metal Gear Solid 4
2. Uncharted
3. Heavenly Sword (fuck the haters, should be cheap anyway)
4. Ratchet & Clank Future
5. Killzone 2
PSN (which is GREAT)
1. WipEout HD
2. Flower
3. PixelJunk Eden
4. SSHD
5. Fat Princess
And of course all the PS1 classics and ports of other systems.

I need the PSP version of this thread.
As for the real triggers, for me they were kind of a disappointment. They were a small improvement but there is something still not right about those buttons. They're too mushy. They need stronger springs or something like that.

Agreed, it's way too exaggerated a curve...to the point where it becomes uncomfortable to not rest your finger on the trigger (perhaps that's just me). It just feels weird, I couldn't use them for very long. Not to mention they kept popping off during intense sessions. I suppose some adhesive would solve that, but that's a big decision to make for such bulky triggers.
I can see how it'd help someone making the transition from 360, though...as ZZMitch said. I wouldn't stick with them permanently, but they might be nice to help wean yourself onto the DS3 at first. Plus they're only like $5, so it's a pretty inexpensive option to at least try.
Great and well done thread Raist.
My favs:
Uncharted
MGS4
Demon's souls (hard)
Killzone2
LBP
PSN:
Wipeout
The last guy
PJ Eden
PJ Monsters
Trash panic (hard)
There's more of course.

I bought those triggers because they are cheap, and I don't use them anymore. In fact I prefer the DS3 as it is. I can't play gt5p or wipeout with the triggers.SonComet said:
If you're thinking of writing messages to your friends often, or joining one of the GAFchats for a certain PS3 game, I highly recommend the official PS3 Wireless Keypad.
Of course, you can use a normal USB-keyboard, but the thing I like about the Keypad is the size and hotkeys. Also, as you always have it on your reach. Messaging in game is really fast, and easy.
