Tips on Buying Used PS3 Games

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Ps3 is one of the hottest consoles in the video game world today. If you have a PS3, you know what I am talking about. There are many games out there that can entertain you to the fullest. However, most of these games are very expensive. Some games range anywhere from 50-60 dollars. This is not the way that you want to enjoy your gaming; broke. You want to get the best deal that you can find on the web or online.

I will go over how you can get the deal that you are looking for offline and online. If you are ever going to get a deal offline, you will want to go to the local flee market. This is where you can either find deals that are at least 3-4 dollars below the retail but you can also negotiate a deal with them as well. You will want to try to get them to give you a lower price. First try and see if you can get them to get you a deal 2 dollars lower than the asking price. If you can, try to get lower. If they are not going to get you a deal at that flee market, then you will want to visit another flee market and see if you can negotiate a deal there.

If you are going to look online, then you will want to find the game that you are looking for and compare it with other sites online. This way you can determine which deal is the best.

After reading the Wii Backup post from a couple weeks back, many have been wondering how to make the PS3 game disc backups. Well, I found another useful article with links that follow it…

How to Copy A PS3 Game

If you are reading this article then it’s obvious that you are an avid gamer and Playstation 3 owner and as an owner of Playstation 3 games you know how costly and yet fragile they are. This is the main reason why a lot of game console owners want to know how to copy a PS3 game. Luckily due to some bright sparks around the place it’s actually not that difficult and in this article I will give you a brief outline of what is involved.

Firstly you are going to need your Playstation 3 game that you are intending to backup. In addition you will need a PC with the appropriate burner and software and lastly the DVD or media that you intend burning the backup to.

The process itself is very simple. Grab your favorite game, put it into your PC drive and then launch the software that you intend to grab the data files of the game disk. Now there are various free software solutions that you can download and install to your PC that will easily read the files and store them to your PC, although as far as I am aware there are no free software solutions that provide an all in one click and copy feature. There however paid software applications that basically let you put your game disk in and then you launch the software; it then does the rest and tells you when to insert the blank disk so that it can burn it for you. While I prefer the paid version you can opt of the free version if you don’t mind downloading 3-4 software applications instead.

The longest process is the actual reading of the original game as this can take quite a while depending on your PC processor and the amount of RAM that is has available. Once however the files are successfully on your PC then you will be prompted to insert a blank disk if using an all in one software solution or if you are using the free option you may have to launch your next piece of software.

Basically that is how to copy a PS3 game; it’s not too difficult whether you go the free or paid solution.

Family Games for PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

The PlayStation 3 (like the Xbox 360) does have an image of being only for older gamers, but there are several family-friendly titles out there for you to put on your radar screen. Let’s review two of them…

Rachet & Clank Future

The first of these would the fantastic platforming action of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. The PS3′s premier platforming game has been critically acclaimed as the best in the series so far and boasts all the usual things you get from a PS3 titles – such as HD graphics and high presentation values. But, thankfully, it also manages to be a game nearly all ages can enjoy. The game follows the exploits of Ratchet a Lombax mechanic and his trusty robot sidekick Clank. The game features crazy weaponry a good sense of humor and great level design, all things which have become a hallmark of the series.

For this PS3 iteration the game has, of course, had the expected update in the looks department, but also uses the capacity of the PS3s Blue-Ray disc drive to create bigger environments and stunning locales. At the heart of the matter the game is fun in it’s truest sense and should appeal to everyone.

One of the most anticipated games for the PS3 and generally any console has been Little Big Planet (LBP). The game is on first glance could be shrugged off as a nice looking and cute two dimensional platformer but the game’s real selling point is the fact that it’s basically a huge sandbox to play in.

Players are given total freedom to create levels and even whole game’s if they like using LBP’s special “rope and pulley” building mechanic. Basically anything sort of thing, from cars to calculators can be created using ropes, string, wood and cogs. Of course to create complicated things, it will take a lot of time and some planning, however if you just want a fun game to play about with and help bring out your kids creativity you could do no better. You only need to take a look on YouTube to see the huge amount of things already created by other players if you need any inspiration.

If the variety of player made ideas on both YouTube and the PSN don’t help you think of anything to make LBP also comes with a full single player game where you take control of Sackboy, the game’s main character and what may become the PS3′s new mascot in time, to run through a series of unique and really special platforming levels. The most amazing thing about the single player game, is that every level has been crafted using the game’s editor itself, with only certain complicated things being independently made by the developers.

The true scope for fun and creativity is overwhelming and I’m sure any family would have a great time spending hours creating and playing on all sorts of different levels and contraptions. A sure thing if ever there was one.
