About Me

edit

I am a people, I am a college student, I am a gamer. I am also rather new at this blogging bit, and decided that Monthly Musings seemed like a not bad way to acclimate to writing things that people will read. I'll add more as it's relevant.

A couple of questions:
Undeed \| 10:50 AM on 11.23.2009	4 comments

Stuff I've been wondering and figure someone may be able to help me with.

1) Is there any way to tell between a backwards compatible PS3 and one that isn't just off the specs? I've been running about auction websites, but I don't have the currency to buy and test every PS3 I find.

2)There is a download on the PS Store that says it gives backwards compatibility to PS3s with more than 40G memory. I have been told this is not the case. What does this do, and is there any way to get backwards compatibility on a newer PS3?

3) How do I change the publish date of an article? I did a monthly musings piece this month but it took forever to write, and it was published ten days before I finished it. I looked at the FAQs and such, but they all say to go to the edit post page, and I can't find the button or switch or knob or whatever it is.

4) Which are the superior christmas/holiday(circle your favorite) releases? I know it's largely a matter of opinion, but I'm curious.

Answer at your leisure.

1) Check the serial numbers. The PS3 wiki page has a breakdown of which models do what and even includes their model numbers in the "model" column: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3#Model_comparison

2) I'm guessing you are talking about the PS2 system memory download. That is for games that used the PS2's harddrive but your system has to be backwards compatible for it to be of any use.

3) You can't. Just copy and paste everything from that draft into a whole new blog when you're ready to post it. Once you go to the "publish" thing, the date and time you opened the file is set.

4) I want The Saboteur pretty badly... other than that Spirit Tracks looks decent. Most of my xmas wishlist is just a compilation of games I didn't buy myself over the past year for one reason or another more than stuff thats coming out right now.

Hope this helped.

I've literally seen jack all content for the Saboteur, so I just hope it's good.

@Magnalon: Yeah, I haven't seen all that much content either, but from what I've seen its a pretty sweet looking take on a WWII game. And I like how the colors are used (at least from what I've seen). Anyway, its definitely on my radar.
