PS3 General discussion thread

I think Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a true "Special Edition"

The box set comes with two discs (movie/special features) but the set also has a separate book (a proper softback book) where Spielberg discusses the cast and other things and a double sided theatrical style poster/timeline.

All in a nice little box.

Scott Steinberg seems to be an interesting PR man:

"[Microsoft] had a great crescendo moment with Halo and it helped catapult them into a pretty strong position towards the back end of last year, but they were still within a stone's throw of where they were with the original Xbox.

To me that speaks of a failure to broaden their reach beyond the core first person shooter player who was in their back pocket for Xbox. The question for us is 'are they really going after the PS2 demographic? Are they stealing share from us?' And the answer is no."

willay invited me to a game. Of course he was on drums, and drums had been the only thing I'd played up to that point. Looks like we could have 3/4 of a full band now.

Once I acquire it, I claim vox and/or bass.

You'll be stuck with on of the guitar parts, just like I am. willay has drums and Icemage has vocals. The guitar is slightly different than the Guitar Hero one's, but still similar enough that I don't think I totally embarrassed myself while playing with willay last night.
The random character I used was female though.

Bass and guitar are more or less the same.

I suck at these games though. Playing guitar is more of a hinderance than a help, I remember trying to play the first Guitar Hero on the highest difficulty having never touched it before.

I probably should have started at medium difficulty while playing last night, but I said too bad and went with easy. willay was trying to show off by playing expert on the drums.

You guys want to set up a session tonight, maybe? Would be fun to rock out with some forumites.

There's a hockey game I'll be watching tonight from 7-9:30ish eastern but I'm free after that.
