Well, the PS3 arrived today......Woot.....So i will write a small reveiw of my thoughts...

So, first thing to do when I got home was to plug it all in and play it. I must say the PS3 is frigging huge.....but the controller weighs next to nothing... I also bought Ridge Racer 7, so im only going to be commenting on this game. I will sum it up in one word.....dissapointing. I thought the graphics were a big let down. To be honest the graphics didnt look much better than a PS2 game, and yes, it was on a HD TV with full 1080P resolution.
Another thing that sucked about the game was the physics of it. It reminded me of NFS: Underground. It sucked.

I had quite high expectations for this system, and i was very, very dissapointed with all of it. So after the game we pulled apart the PS3. Lot of pictures were taken. Theyll go up on the PS3 Grill site shortly.

The insides were a lot more interesting than any other aspect of the system.....I must say I detest those stupid ribbon cables....theyre a pain in the ass.....

To all who actually want to buy a PS3 or are getting a PS3, I dont mean to dissapoint you......but you have nothing to look forward to.....

Anyhoo, the PS3 will fit a grill nicely in it...I cant wait to start making the grill.

There is a good comparison of the graphical differences between RR6 (a launch title for the 360) and RR7 (a sequel and launch title for the PS3).

From what I've heard they're essentially the same game but RR7 has some extra cars/tracks etc. You can see that a number of details have been removed for the PS3 version, IMO the most noticeable differences is the water: on the 360 it's got ripples, some shiny reflections etc, and having played the game I can tell you that it actually moves around like water should. The water in the PS3 is just flat and lifeless. This is same thing is carried over onto other elements like the reflection of the glass windows on the building etc.

This could tell us a few things, and I'll leave it up to you how you'd like to interpret it
1. - it could mean that developers had a harder time getting these effects to work properly on the PS3 then they did with the 360 either do to difficulty programming for the platform or time constraints.
2. - it could mean that the PS3 couldn't handle that extra level of detail and it had to be cut out.
3. - (if they're going 1080p) it could mean that details had to be cut out to get the game running at a higher resolution, which begs the question if support for the higher resolution on a small small number of TVs where it makes a differences is worth the loss of quality in the details.
4. - any combination of the aforementioned.

It still remains that the the game was released a year later on supposedly superior higher priced hardware and it is missing graphical details and effects.

I wasn't impressed with RidgeRacer 6 to begin with. Now, TDU, and Forza2 (from screenies from the site), now you're talkin'. I hope GT HD is in the same tier graphics and game-play wise.

OK now the pics are up and working....i still have to rearrange the site a bit and put the pics in different categories but the current layout will do for a couple of days...

Its stupid how when you upload photos, it makes them a .JPG instead of a .jpg so i have to hcnage them back so the pics work...

BTW, the inverter blew up last night.....it overheated and blew the thermal fuse inside the toroid transformer....and i cant find where these thermal fuses are. Anyone know where abouts thermal fuses are in toroial transformers?

Since we have a hardware modding forum for PS3 now I think we should move this there... it is the first real case mod

throwingks · « **Reply #55 on:** November 16, 2006, 06:45:00 AM »

You can make a PS macro to watermark those pics for you
