I want to ask a very important question. Is there any danger to my ps3 from Load shutting. you see sometimes when i m playing, suddenly, the power would go off. Will it effect my ps3 . Anyone with experience about this problem..........Help?
yeah it can corrupt any download in process and does not cause much effect on hardware

power supply CAN be damaged, but it's very rare

no need to worry too much

LOL. Dude, I just use themes and wallpapers. The default one keeps changing all the time based on the time or something.

Google out PS3 themes, you're gonna find some pretty neat stuff there.

I too get freezing issues at times with Warhawk. I haven't been able to find a pattern here but have experienced this twice in 5 months.

You need PSN cards. Or u can get it downloaded on your PS3 from a couple of PG members on payment less than the PSN price !

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
