SWEEEEET

[HangTheDJ]

might piss you offcos in eastern countries they have the x and circle button the other way around, not physically on the controller they just do the opposite as they would in western countriesand although these can be changed in some games, they cant on the actual console+dont you have a flashed 360, why not just download grid?

[Guest David Braund]

waitso if i buy a controller from here it wnt work (is the DS3 controller the other way around aswell?)i didnt even kno it was on 360 tbh, thought it might b my excuse to get a ps3but at 150 i cnt really go wrong, ill cop it n wait for GT5 or sutin

nah nahthe controllers are exactly the samei imported a DS3 myself and it works like any normal european pad butthe firmware on the console is region locked, and on the ps3s firmware from hong kong, china and japan the o button and x button do the opposite things as they would on a european consolesay you turn your console on, put a game and usually you'd press X (as its the standard OK button) to start the game... well on a hong kong ps3 you'd have to press O.i'm 99% sure it can't be changed either on the actual console, as the firmwares region locked and sony doesnt like importing so wont offer any patches or anything, but MOST games let you edit your own button configurations so you could switch them around in game (but some dont).oh, and even though games are region free, blu-ray movies arnt, so you'd only be able to watch blu-rays from HK on it.But apart from that it's completely bless, only little things to get used to.

It would just be like playing the older version of MGS, everything you had to do was by pushing O instead of X

pissed so on the console u cnt change the x and o usage nt hat?itd havet o b in every single game? (even tho ill only hav like 3)

if the game doesnt allow you to edit the button configuration then yehbut some (most) games doand usually the sports games do, so i think you'd be cool with Grid, but i'm not 100% on thati dont imagine it would be too hard to get used to any way, i think someone on here (macz maybe) imported a white ps3 and he got used to it.

i still press O sometimes

Call of Duty 4 everyone from here plays.I got bored of it along time ago, but I'm completely in the minority with that and EVERYONE still plays it.Only game I play online recently is Pro Evo and occasionally Warhawk (third person shooter), but I've stopped playing that too now.erm, Motorstorm is also a laugh online, can be picked up for around £12 ish, but Motorstorm 2 is coming out soon, so I've stopped playing that as well.PS3 online community in general isn't that great, although it's pretty active on here I think (I don't play with most man on here though, just the Pro Evo heads)BUT Sony are improving their online system soon so hopefully it should make the 'community' alot liver.Thing is with Sony their online service is free, so they don't actually manage their own service, they leave it up to the actual developers of the games to do it (whereas Microsoft manage the Live service), and after the games have been sold alot of companies don't seem to care about them so patches for online games having trouble take longer to come out on PS3, and in general alot of the servers are just sh*t. (like Pro Evo which, although improved over time, has been pretty much unplayable online since its release last October).

Did it all the time lol as i played the previous games before i touched 4 and it nearly cost me my life thinking i had used certain items when really i just pressed back.
