Playstation 3?

QuoteUS electrical mains supply only 120 volts. If you live in the uk its 220 volts you would have to buy a convertor to step down to 120, cost about 30 pounds last I checked. also NTSC isnt compatible with PAL, march isnt to far off

I'd be very surprised indeed if it didn't have a PSU that could handle either - all the stuff I use daily has a range of 110-240V, including both my USA and Australian-bought PSPs, but I suppose it's possible they shaved 50c off the price.

You have to be careful with NTSC and PAL too, but again, lots of TVs support both, it's just not always in the manual or the spec sheet.

Its only a little more than a month away so I would suggest that you do what I have done, pre-order one and sit tight. I used to have a PS2 and was quite happy with the games for it, so I am hoping that the games for the PS3 will be just as great just better looking

That right. The Soild Snake 4 on PS 3 is very good but will be like PS 2 Sold snake 3 where most of it was Cut Sence as what I do know is that PS 3 can do real time and does that mean there will be more gameplay in Soild snake 4 than any other version of soild snake? Only time will tell

The graphics in future on next next gen graphics(eg. PS 5 or XBOX1080) will be able handle matrix flim graphics

Amazing how the technology has changed in under 30 years we've gone from 16 colours and a small amount of sprites to total eye candy. also back on the 2600 I had a tendency to physically move the joystick around in tune with the direction I was pressin. movin the control pad had only a phsycological effect back then but now it actually does effect the control.

I have heard that Factor 5 thinking about making 3D Turrican for playstaion 3 and if does then I hope it does come to XBOX 360 but I think Factor 5 and Sony have made deal not to release it on other console.

I am MEGA Turrican Fan, Turrican 2 on humble C64 was amazing but I couldnt believe how many Turrican Sprites was made for C64 and I mean how the earth did they made all the Sprites, Sound, Music in just 64K! Unbelievable!

Lower amount of colours and screen resolution meant that not nearly as much memory was needed to store graphics. Still really impresive though.

Talk of which reminds me of something, I had an electron with 32k and some games used some of the screen memory for the code so there'd be bands of randomly coloured pixels at the top and bottom of the screen. One football game did this with it supposed to be the spectators.

I remember hearing of rumours of a Turrican 3D, what I heard from a PC mag was that the people doing the 3D wanted heaps of money for doing the gfx, and Manfred Trenz ( main Turrican creator and Legend ) in the end decided it would be far better for him to do the 3D; so he pulled the project until he could learn how to do the 3D side of things.

Back to topic: I dont think I'll be buying a PS3, as I've got a Silver PS2 that I've not really used to any great extent and I've only a handful of games on it.
