The Logitech Driving Force GT?
It's 180 in Canada.
My 360 wheel was 49.99, so it's pretty darn good afterall

I think I got mine for $130 on amazon. I checked and they currently have them for $145.

Also i'm interested in this deadRising2.. is that all about wandering around sandbox style, killing muthafuckizombies???

I dig sandbox cause it works well with drinking and passing out while playing...

Don't know much about Dead Rising 2, but Uncharted 2 is freakin' amazing!

Yeah Uncharted 2 is probably one of my top five games of all-time.

The first Dead Rising was so frustrating that I don't know if I can give the second one a fair chance.

You also have missions and side missions to do in Dead Rising 2, but I mostly just kill muthafuckizombies. One of the side missions was a psychopath was holding a women hostage and trying to marry her. I eventually killed him and then gave her a dildo to defend herself, good times. I haven't had a chance to try out the online co-op yet because I don't know anyone else with the game. Unfortunately there's no offline co-op.

We still got 40 hours until rescue, she has to kill the time somehow.

Well my original 60GB is almost maxed out on HDD space. Less than 500MB left.

Time for a HDD upgrade. Anyone here upgrade theirs? I saw a 250GB HDD at Staples for like $50 and a 500GB for $80.
Crazy how cheap harddrives are these days!! I remember back when a 1GB was huge and it cost a fortune...

For those who've upgraded, did you run into any problems? I've heard it's pretty easy to do, I just wanted to see if any of you have done it.

Make sure you get a hard drive that fits. If I remember correctly, they can only hold a 2.5" drive. Most 500gb's are 3.5".

You are correct, 2.5". aka a laptop SATA.
Put a 320 in mine.

I put 250GB in for my son. Relatively easy just used my external harddrive from my comp to back-up all the current PS3 files. Remove one screw and replace the drive. Made me feel likeI accomplished something but it was really easy.

I'm not quite a techy as I used to be...

Does the PS3 format the external HDD for backup? I mean, if I go out and buy a Ex-HDD will the PS3 format it correctly or will I have to format it to FAT32 via my PC?



Also the new Netflix App upgrade was nice.
5.1 Digital is a bigtime plus!!

PS3 will format it before you can use it (after confirmation by you, of course).

I'm a diehard F1 fan so that isn't a problem Thanks for the info.
I have a wheel for the 360 and a few friends who are looking at the game. I'm hearing a lot about AI bugs and annoying problems.

I finally hooked up my wheel last night and played F1 2010 for the first time with it. Holy crap, what a difference! I also took the brake assist off as there is no way to post a decent lap with it on. I'm still trying to get used to F1 rules as the series doesn't get much coverage in the States. I thought I had qualified 7th for the first race but I guess the first 60 minute session is practice only.

It will be interesting to do a whole race. I think the minimum number of laps is 20% of a full race. I'm thinking that equates to 25 - 30 minutes of racing.

There are places that can replace the laser for pretty cheap, then there is Sony, who will charge you an arm and a leg to get you a refurbished PS3.
What model of PS3 do you have?

I have the original 60GB, and I'm pretty sure if it ever dies on me, I'm just going to go out and buy a brand new one. I don't want some crappy refurb!

I had the same thing happen to me . . . just 2 weeks past the one-year warranty! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Yup, the bastards charged me $150 and sent it back with a cracked case. Check your local options out to save some money.
