coming to america? does an ntsc ps3 play import titles? my roommate's decided to pick one up since hddvd is dead now... it'll be nice having the ps-wii-60 combo going :d

[Dirty Habit]

PS3 region free. We are all good.

[BustedS13]

nice! gotta say, that system keeps looking better and better. i think it's too late for a full comeback but it'll definitely be a contender for the duration of this gen

[Helghast]

ohyea, PS3 will come back for sure.

I own a 360 for the reason that the PSTriple was too expenisve.

I'll prolly pick one up for xmas this year tho..

hear that MGS4 couldn't fit in a Blu ray disc?
50+gbs of gaming!

Initial D Set for PS3

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/855/855898p1.html
February 29, 2008 - If you love to street race while blasting J-pop anime music, you're going to have to get yourself a PS3. The latest issue of Famitsu has a first look at Initial D Extreme Stage, a PS3 version of the Japanese racer that's known in arcades as Initial D Arcade Stage 4.

In addition to a visual update, the big new feature for the home is an online racing mode. Similar to the arcade version's "National Tournament" mode, players can rise in class by beating other racers and gain access to even tougher opponent classes.

The arcade version also let online players customize their characters. Sega hasn't announced this for the home version yet, but it sounds like a likely feature to us!

Solo drivers can look forward to an updated version of the arcade's single player mode, Koudou Saisoku Densetsu (this name translates to something along the lines of "Legend of the Fastest on the Road"). Over 20 rivals will appear in this story mode, which uses the PS3 for high quality shading.

Initial D hits Japan this Summer. An international release has yet to be announced.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

there's an initial d arcade stage 4? interesting.

[BustedS13]

alright, if it's gonna be online intensive, i want an american release... i don't want to be playing 12 year old japanese assholes. those kids need to put the controller down.

[Dirty Habit]

Fuck that. We can have a Zilvia team. Everyone just battle for forum bragging rights.

I'm gonna have to start building my cockpit and break out the 900 degree wheel again.

[VAs13]

. i don't want to be playing 12 year old japanese assholes.

hahaha almost spit up my drink

[[email protected]]

i have the previous version on the psp. i hope it comes out in english.

[IIIXziuR]

That looks sweet!
I actually played the Arcade game for the first time last week, shit was fun but very hard for a n00b like me

[tougemaster]

I had played GT5 in Japan.. So real.. but little weird.. is way different than GT4 maybe have to get use to it.

[Ace Callaway]

Damn, they need to get this out for Xbox360. They have a Initial D 4th Stage arcade here in Rowland Heights, CA. I go play it all the time!:hyper:

[KA-T_240]

looks like I have to buy a PS3 for another reason now.

[origin_s135]

another reason why i like ps3; it's region free!

[ayuaddict]

whattt?

arcade stage doesn't have Irohazaka and happogahara.

but then again i like ver 3 a lot better.

that tap the brake mid corner thing in ver 4 is stupid as fuck.

[Smurf_240SX]

damn thats cool! can't wait to see it come out.

[exitspeed]

That looks like Wii...

[ravinaziankid]

Makes me regret selling my PS3 60GB..

[jackjack]

damn that looks good.

[Antihero983]

PS3 region free. We are all good.

so is PSP!!!! which is why i ordered wangan midnight yesterday for it!!!!

the initial D one looks good, ill hafta scoop that up if they make it for psp....

[SimpleS14]

So I did a quick search on Wangan Midnight (as I never heard of this before)...and it looks an awful a lot like Tokyo Extreme Racer 2

That looks like Wii...


Are you saying that because of the graphics?

[Iwant2slide_S13]

dang, Group buy!!!:rawk:

lol jk looks wicked, ive been back and forth through 360 and PS3 for a while now... and with this PS3 is WAYYYY ahead

[blasting_speed]

I love Initial D. I'm a big fan of the arcade. There's one here at the theatre at the South Bay Galleria (CA). I play that thing until my movie starts. Too bad its like 50cents.

Once Metal Gear GTA4 and Resident Evil 5 come out on the PS3. That's its its over for the 360. Which is for the better. I can't believe they charge to play online. That's stupid.

You've never been to an arcade in Cali.... miniature golf places out here only stay open because of the arcades.

funny you should mention that, i have TXR2 for Dreamcast!!!

and yes, TXR2 was originally based off of the idea of wangan midnight, even with the Devil Z as the main boss.

um RE5 and GTA4 are both coming out for Xbox360......

[exitspeed]

Are you saying that because of the graphics?

Yes. I'm not a graphics whore, but those look very poor for a PS3 game.

This is true.

[sub9lulu]

oh shit
i might have to buy a PS3 just for this

[SimpleS14]

Have you seen the anime?


Really can't do much of an improvement (looks wise) without making it look completely different from the anime.

[JVDSKYRINE]

oh shit
i might have to buy a PS3 just for this


and blue ray...and the fact that add ons don't cost you more than the system like they do for gay x box...and graphics are way better on ps3 i played call of duty on my bros ps3 soooo much clearer....but guys on xbox are shittier haha

[Antihero983]

except for the fact that the graphics for Rainbow Six Vegas were better on 360....and armored core 4 was better on 360....

however, this isnt a PS3 VS. 360 thread, so let's not turn it into one ok?

And that's how you fail miserably at the interweb.

He has a 360...and I have a PS3. Fanboy? Hardly.

Sorry he hurt your XBOX loving feelings. :bowrofl:

I like both, but the additional prices are annoying.

[Dirty Habit]

...and this guy right here just pre-ordered it. Woot.
