Schweet. I'm on Chapter 7 playing on regular and it's already had a couple of pretty challenging scenes. Great game!

'I’m not 100% certain when it happened. I think it’s when I had Nathan Drake atop a building in a war-torn Nepalese city, cornered and being fired upon by a helicopter, engaged in a fist fight with the screen slowly draining of color, snapping my enemy’s neck and quickly rolling into cover to reload my grenade launcher only to turn and fire upon the chopper one last time as I watched it crash and explode. I think this is when I realized that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was the best single-player game I have ever played.'

Wow. I do concur that the hand-to-hand in this game today had me say "****ing YEAH!" out loud.

Funny because that was exactly how I felt when I played Batman AA. I have never enjoyed a single player game near as much as AA. I can only hope that U2 is capable of at least being equal.

PS3s Reportedly Not Playing Blu-ray Discs after Firmware Update
Tue Sep 29, 2009 at 02:25 PM ET
Tags: Sony (all tags)

Forums and blogs across the internet are abuzz with reports that the newest PS3 update has broken the system, rendering the Blu-ray drive unusable.

The long awaited 3.0 firmware update for the Playstation 3 integrated a wide variety of improvements, such as upgraded friends lists, trophy sharing, and a bit more personalization. Unfortunately, it also appears to have caused some problems with the Blu-ray drive.

Customers are reporting that both games and Blu-ray discs will play fine for around ten minutes and then just freeze up. The increasingly common story is echoed by countless posters on the Playstation blog such as JohnnyAstro who says that he “upgraded to 3.01 3 days ago, and in the middle of playing a game a day later, the game locked up, and that was it. The drive cannot recognize any disc now. Tried putting in games, Blu-ray movies and DVD’s. Nothing.”

Reportedly, Sony customer service is stating that this is likely a coincidental hardware issue, and customers are being asked to pay $150 for repairs on their systems. While this issue does appear to be widespread, it definitely isn’t happening to every system. If you’re using your PS3 as a Blu-ray player though, it may be wise to avoid the update until this all gets straightened out.

Anyone having this issue? I have update from 3.00 to 3.01 and have only tried playing my smallville dvds in it and it has worked fine, but haven't tried a game or bluray, so i assume my system is ok...

**Buck** · 09-30-2009, 05:43 PM

I've only played DVDs, and Video games, no blu-ray movies since updating to 3.0

Havent updated to 3.01 yet.

Sure-Oz · 09-30-2009, 06:07 PM

I'd hope that if it does **** up a new firmware update would fix it rather than taking it to sony

**TinyEvel** · 09-30-2009, 06:50 PM

Here's a behihnd the scenes video of the PSP Gran Turismo spot

**007** · 09-30-2009, 09:51 PM

I haven't played any BD disks since the update but my games have performed perfectly fine. That will be a load of horseshit if they expect people to fork over $150 for something their firmware update caused. Coincidental my ass.

This thing really is taking forever. No set release date in the US is disappointing and hopefully it will not be that long after. I keep wanting to like Forza but it's just not the same.

**007** · 09-30-2009, 10:43 PM

I just don't get the love for racing sims at all. I've tried quite a few and just cannot enjoy them. Closest I ever came to liking one was Burnout Paradise but it isn't a sim either.

Sure-Oz · 09-30-2009, 10:48 PM

So is anyone having issues with firmware 3.01? I have only watched dvds and it runs fine.

Supposedly it has been making the ps3 useless...
