find that most of the games with the best storylines are either the really old Playstation games which I play in ePSXe, older computer games or else things from even further back than that on the NES/SNES/N64/Master System/Mega Drive etc.

To each their own, I guess

Oh, and the Red Ring of Death is an easy fix

Sure I've mentioned this loads of times....my NES is still hooked up to my TV I'm definitely a Ninty girl though...my DS is practically glued to me

I would have tried fixing the RROD myself, only MS said they'd do it for free and it wasn't mine so breaking it further wasn't really an option. I have a knack for killing electronic things anyway. Every time I touch my OH's fancy water-cooled multi-coloured-lighted PC, it dies. I'm banned from touching it now

That said, I'm not as a bad as one of my brother's friends - he couldn't get some cable in the back of his PC so he took a hammer and hammered it in. Unsurprisingly, as it was the wrong hole for the cable, his 'workaround' didn't work.

I'm quite the Nintendo fan, too. Mario, Final Fantasy, F-Zero. Awesome

I have been meaning to get some new games for my DS recently, but there's so much choice and I'm not sure it's wise. I'm currently trying to complete a few of the PC games that I've got and they're taking forever (hardly surprising, considering both Wizardry 8 and Morrowind are massive).

I couldn't get into Morrowind - I think maybe because I lost my life to Oblivion several times before I tried Morrowind. The first time, the walking so slooooooooooooooowly got to me so I cheated and edited the config file. Got bored v. quickly. Second time was more successful (no cheating ) but the diary was too backward for me so I gave up. Never heard of Wizardry 8 but looks awesome (I'm a sucker for RPGs) so might get it this weekend.

DS-wise - I'd definitely recommend Professor Layton as it rocks! Have to admit I haven't bought a DS game for ages though - tend to use it for NetHack and reading books really and not much else.

Ah, see I was the other way around. I played Morrowind then Oblivion and I couldn't really get in to the latter!

Wizardry 8 isn't very well-known for some reason, but it's a really good game with a good storyline. One or two of the NPCs lack some of the depth that I had hoped for when I got it, but it's not noticeable enough to make a difference really. There's a lot of playing time in it and it's pretty hard to do it all in one sitting. I played the entirety of Final Fantasy IX in a weekend, but I couldn't do that with Wizardry 8. It was much more fun playing a bit every day over a period of months for me.

my c64 still does me for games. you can not beat Dizzy Egg for fun

What on earth are you doing with your PS3s? mine has been shut in a cabinet with other hot devices (cable box/dvd recorder) for 2 years with quite a few long gaming sessions and other than suddenly sounding like a 747 taking off telling me to open the cabinet I've never had any problems.

I wish my sister never sold her C64, that was a fun console and it's never the same playing the Great Giana Sisters (aka. the Mario rip-off) through Emulators.

I still have my retro consoles thankfully.

download free demos from the playstation store.

You may also need to do a system update, be as well doing that before you get your hands on your games.

what happened to going into a shop and buying things in person? you would not have this problem if you were old fashioned!

Well, some good news - Sony are replacing number three for free (despite being out of warranty). I hope to have better luck with number four.

[EwanM]

Sony is rather good. I remember my friend went through four PS2's in less than a year and they replaced them all.

My PS3 has never broken and I've had it since it was released.

I bet it'll break now Stupid jinx
