SOCOM: Confrontation (PS3 - PSN)

[Brad]

Nice! Might be on tonight and or tomorrow. I'll add you if you're not already on my list.

[JP]

So will you cancel your order and just d/load from the US store John? I can be found playing Socom quite late most nights (as long as there's someone I know to play with!)

I'm probably going to wait until the game is released over here now. The reason I went for the US bundle was because it was only ?10 more expensive than the headset was being released over here.

I've just got home from work so haven't checked yet but if the past is anything to go by I'm expecting to have received an email at 4:00pm today which told me that my order has just been dispatched so I could end up with the game shortly anyway.

If you're starting a SOCOM thread in the online section you can definately add me but I don't know when I'll be on yet though.

So you'll have 3 headsets and 4 SOCOMs in total?

[JP]

3 headsets...one for each of my heads! Are you suggesting there's something not right with that?

I've got one of the headsets and one on order with the SOCOM bundle so I'll just have one headset to sell and one copy of the game to keep.

I've probably got a good collection of bluetooth headsets that I've collected over the years though. The only things that are worse are memory sticks, I have a collection of them here from the past few years when I was thinking that 256MBs was more than I'd ever possibly need.

c'mon guys!
There's a Socom thread in online folder put ya names down.
No-one ever seems to play it on my friends list and it's way too good to fall by the wayside during the xmas blitz.

[Matt]

Wish I had the game to play!! What's it like on the US servers now?

Finally progress on my headset - "Your order is currently being picked and packed."

[hudson]

I never have any luck with the bluetooth headsets on PS3. I've stuck with old faithful PS2 Socom one. It does what it says on the box and it has a handy bit a cable going between yourself and the PS3 for finding your way back to the console in the dark.

Finally progress on my headset - "Your order is currently being picked and packed."

Same here. Yay! More money leaving my account!

[Number45]

"Your Order Is On Its Way!"

I think it's at home already.

[Matt]

Just "Dispatched", in the last few hours.

Hopefully tomorrow, so I can finally get online and join the LBP team!

[Number45]

I have a feeling mine's already at home (Mrs 45 called me and said something was there and this is the only thing I'm expecting), so if you've not been home already you might be in for a pleasant surprise.

[Brad]

Play on the US servers is pretty good now Chain. In 2 hours last night I only once screamed that I had been killed by lag. Every other time I died it was because I'm rubbish.

I hadn't been on in a week or so so was a bit rusty but this game showed how great it is last night. I hadn't fared well in close up combat so took up position, prone on the bridge with a sniper rifle and a big scope. 3 or 4 guys spotted me and each in turn tried to kill me from the other side. Each time they died as I placed a perfect headshot. I got carried away of course and was taken out by a grenade but the point is that a sniper, lying prone, at distance > guy with M16, as it should be. Cracking game, even with screen tear and occasional pauses as latecomers arrive (fix promised in the 1.3 patch).

[Number45]

It wasn't the headset. It's something much better. Check the games related purchases thread later for details (I haven't seen it yet, so I might be building this up for no reason! ).

Nothing, hopefully tomorrow! Taken them long enough to ship.

Meantime, WTF did you get that from!!

Glad it's working well on the US servers. How much is it on PSN? Any trouble putting it on to my UK account??
