Is there still regional lock in games. Like NA/UK games can't be played in Europe's console version?


And what do you do with the strorage beside saving games. And how big are these games(giga-bytes) if I were to buy, let's say, Demon Souls from PSN store? Is 12gb enough to install and play one game at a time and can I reinstall and download the games I have bought from PSN store?

All PS3 games are region free except for Persona 4 Arena.

Storage on the PS3 can be used to download games from PSN, and the size of the games vary. Demon's Souls is 8GB while you need 16GB because you need to install the game. Not sure of how many times you can re-download a game (if there even is one) but referring to this: "As of November 18, 2011, game content purchased from the PlayStation Store can be activated on two PlayStation 3 consoles and/or two PSP systems."

12 GB is not enough for PS3 games downloaded from the PSN, and maybe 1-2 PS2 titles. There is enough space for a few PS1 games though.

I assume you have the PS3. Do you think this Sony online store will expand? Like will it one day have almost every PS3 game?


I have looked some games for it and the good games, games that I want, are very limited. I won't buy the console now but in like 3-6 months from now, but the games might not be there then.

I don't expect the store to expand at all, nor do I expect almost every PS3 game on the store (at least for non-PS+ members).

Well I bought it. I got the 12 gb version.


Mostly some JRPGs.

Ni no Kuni, FF13, Persona3&4, FF13-x2, FF12, Metal Gear Solid 2&3&4, Demon Souls. I decided to start with FF13, which might have been a mistake, not too good game so far.


I like that you can use the netflix from your ps3.

If it was a Mario game or maybe Crash Bandicoot(1st in the serie) I might be interested, but playing Sly Cooper ain't my thing. Maybe it is a good game? How about Uncharted?


FF13 sucks. It's shit, 20 hours in and theres not a single thing I would want to play it again. First Final Fantasy game I have zero interest after 10 hour mark. I hate all the characters in it and the story isn't moving.

Demon's Souls is good, like really good. Kinda easy after Dark Souls, but there are moments that will get you. I like how the hub system works and to reach some areas you need to reach certain point, but because it's Souls game you can play through it without leveling. Game is obviously popular now because there are messages and people moving all around the place.

I bought all the Metal Gear Solid games and both Ninja Gaiden games. I'm looking at some other PS3 games but I really don't know about console games. Some suggestions?

If you're gonna suggest a JRPG you gotta throw in Tales of Xillia which comes out this summer.

Dude I like Tales of games. Xillia is already realeased in Europe, but I'm just waiting for the price to drop down a little. I'm disappointed because theres no Tales of Vesperia for PS3.

I might have to look that one up. I'm also looking at Eternal Sonata.

I already have Ni No Kuni, but haven't started it yet. Infact that is the title that got me to buy PS3 in the first place. You know save the best for the last or when you have time to really play it.

Catherine is somewhat interesting, nothing really puts me off from it. I don't mind if the story is really goofy or anything, but the game seems really weird, but it might be one of those that are really good even if they don't seem like it at the first glance.


Resonance of Fate seems like hard but really good game. I will buy this at one point. Valkyria Chronicles probably, 3rd person strategy game seems quite good. Red Dead Redemption is a must buy at some point.

Rest are unknown to me. Like theres not really reviews of these games or anything. Yazura is something like Shenmue, but whats the difference with Sleeping Dogs?



How about Heavy Rain?

Heavy Rain is a mixed bag, it really depends on the person,the problem mostly stems from the fact that its a game that forgoes gameplay for story;but the story can be downright awful at times and theres some plotholes that bothered me.

Way of the Samurai 3 is an intresting experiment its a 3-6 hour game depending on your choices, but your post to replay it a bunch, if I recall it has 52 endings. It plays like a hack and slash game with some light rpg mechanics, you can forge your own weapons/ make your own fighting style.

Sengoku Basara 3 is capcoms take on dynasty warriors/samurai warriors, every character has its own gimmick/playstyle, and the control is real tight but it depends on how much you like hack and slash games.

I haven't played shenmue or sleeping dogs really but yakuza is like a modern 3d beat-em up with emphasis on story , its open world isn't that big, but theres alot of side stuff to do(baseball, shogo, cage fighting, club owner, etc.). The battle system is medicore but I think the game as a whole is good.

Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
