Playstation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Keyboard

March 01, 2007
I am using this with my PS3, mostly to enter password or whatever other short text strings may be called for while surfing the Web on the PS3.

One important not: this is a Wi-Fi keyboard, it is NOT blue-tooth. Meaning that it WILL require a little dongle-transmitter plugged into your USB port. If your PS3 is one of them 2-USB ports models then you must be aware of this.

The keyboard is battery-powered and the batteries seem to last. I don't believe I've changed them since I first started using the keyboard, a few months ago but I am not a heavy user. It's good to know that it comes with a little touch pad and 'mouse' buttons so if you are comfortable with it, you won't need a mouse.

Overall judgment: it's ... Read More:

Beijing Olympics 2008

If you like repetitive key punching, then have a couple pina coladas and you might find this entertaining. Maybe I'm too hard on it, this is best suited for a family get-together, with young kids, for setting the Olympic mood. But it really amounts little more than repetitive key punching, to the extent you wonder if you're going to brake your gamepads. Its not all that different from the Apple IIe's key-banging equivolent circa 1983, but the graphics have thankfully improved somewhat in the last 25 yrs -- too bad gameplay hasn't. I guess it's just difficult to make a good Olympics game, b/c no one ever pulls it off.

Lair

Despite the good and bad reviews, I decided to purchase this game and make my own judgement as to how good/bad it really is. My conclusion is that if you do not learn to controll the sixxaxis, you will not like this game. And in my opinion, I think the patch did little to help the gameplay, I still preffer the original motion sensing.

One thing I do want to point out is that this game can be played on your PSP, by using the Remote Play function. This I think is the only game so far that utilizes this option and is a pretty cool one at that. The graphics will suffer on gameplay, but is not terribly bad to play on the psp nonetheless. Also the controls actually work pretty good.

I do have to say that the cutscenes where ... Read More:

Ferrari Challenge

This is a nice game... not too much difficult... excellent graphics, music... but it has a big problem when it comes to the replays... it gets stucked when you press the replay button... it just plays the replay in one mode and you can't do nothing just to restart the console, so there's no chance for you to rotate or change the replay mode...

Anyway in overall its a nice Ferrari game... too many Ferraris drives you crazy... and you can customize your cars... good for System 3!

If you beat GH3 and you are craving for new songs then you have 1 option: buy songs through the PS3 store (PS3 users) and expect to pay about $2 per song... until now. And, this is why this game has good value. First, you get about 40 songs (more or less) for one fixed price which is cheaper than paying about $2 per song. Second, no downloading, some people may not have the fastest connection. Third, second hand market value, you can sell the disk on Ebay after you are done playing and recover some of your money. Overall, to me this is an expansion pack and the game is okay. Don't expect nothing new or many innovations...
