Fanatec Premium RGB Scart Cable (PS3)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > PlayStation 3
from: Fanatec

I am sure this is a great item as recommended by many reviewers. However, when I connected this from my PS3 to the RGB enabled SCART socket (EXT 1) of my standard def TV, my games have a rather annoying green tint to them. I have tried changing my video output settings within the Display settings of the XMB but to no avail. I have even contacted Playstation UK for technical advice. Interestingly, I was told that this is fact and is in place as a copy-right protection measure. I was basically told to use the composite cable supplied with the system. Instead I just switched the cable into the standard SCART socket (EXT 2) of my TV which projects the same images as that of the supplied composite cable.

Powerplay High Definition Component Cable (PS3)

I just got hold of my cable today (£7.99) and its superb! The difference between the standard PS3 cable and this is fantastic, this really does make a difference!

I'd already got a HDMI cable from amazon (but it didn't work) and I can't afford to keep buying cables to see if they work, and I don't have the time to keep reuturning rubbish ones to the shop where I got them, so I thought I'd give this a go, and at £8 its a bargain.

I'm really impressed with this cable and if you can't afford (or your fed up looking for) the official cable - buy this.

Eye of Judgment (PS3)

from: Sony

October 26, 2007
Never really got into these battle card games, but this is different. No big caluations, no need for a calulator and no need to strain your memory memorising your monsters HP.

Whilst one review didnt like the cotton mat, it is quite good quality and better than using another mterial such as paper (as some of these card games do). The graphics are very impressive and the animations are smooth. You can turn the animations of if you so wish.

You dont even need a controller for this game (expect for the menus) and the main game can be played with just cards - which is really cool and convient. The 'action cards' need to be held up to the eye which is a knack as you must get it the right distance from the eye and whithout obsuring ... Read More:

This looks so cool on your Les Paul guitar and gives it a very 60's Mod vibe..expensive for what it is, but makes the guitar and I love it.

I just need "Town Called Malice" by "THE JAM" and I'll be set.

NBA Live 08 (PS3)

from: Electronic Arts

Even thought the demo only allowed you to play 2 teams, for 2 minute quarters and only half a game it was still enough to convince me to buy the game.

This has a very similar feel to Fifa 08, which I also find a great game.

With regards to the 1 star reviewer, all I can think is that they haven't spent enough time learning how to play the game. The game shows you "hot spot" areas where you're particular player is strong on shooting (e.g. Don't use your centre for three pointers!!! Surely that's too obvious?)

I've only played the demo a handful of times, but am scoring sweet three pointers, alley-oops and slick dunks without any problems at all.

Just bought the game locally and looking forward to getting all the teams and ... Read More:

Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End (PS3)

I didn't expect too much from this game, as I thought it would be aimed more at the Wii. However, I expected the game play and graphics to be good.

The graphics are very good, and at times you actually feel that you are watching the film. However, the game play was fairly disappointing - you can battle a foe far to easily. Once you have hit them twice, they just stand there and allow you to finish them off. However, I will say the when you battle a leader of a group (for instance Davey Jones' first mate) the finishing moves are very satisfying.

I don't understand how this game can be rated a 16+. There is now blood or swearing, just fighting. Also, this game is not as addictive as I thought it would be.

This game is not one that I would buy, ... Read More:

Ratatouille (PS3)

Our 9 year old son must be enjoying this game as he would be on it constantly if we allowed him to be. My main reason for writing this review is to let others know that initially we could not hear the rats speaking and this was down to having the PS3 connected up to a surround sound amp. with an optical lead. When playing this game I have to change the audio settings within the PS3 to send the sound via the phono leads and change it back to output the sound via the optical lead for all other games. I have heard that some other users have had the same issue.
