Give a balanced and truthful report on Japanese sales please. I take it you know the horrible Japanese figures for PS3 v 360? The PS3 has just been outsold again by the 360 in Japan. I fear the PS3 is going the way of the dodo. Can Threespeech shed any light on any strategies or plans or is it head firmly in sand time? Come on Threespeech!

My advice to you is to set aside plenty of time for a long gaming session the first time you play the game. There are tutorials for just about everything, voiced by Mr. Stephen Fry. You can turn them off, of course; but I found each one quite valuable. Especially as I had no manual. The campaign is great fun but when you're playing in two player mode, as I did with my wife, it can get frustrating. If you're familiar with Gauntlet - it's similar to that in the respect that you both need to co-operate and go in the same direction. This was a concept lost on my wife, who caused my death several times due to wandering off and leaving me unable to see where I was going. Invariably, I was 'going' into a pit of spikes. After a short time playing the campaign, the game will gradually give you licence to use more and more tools, and eventually create your own level. @ manley

I want a PSP, and have money burning a hole in my pocket, but well, you know, if it's poo then I'll maybe wait. Also, this isn't really the place, but I'm thinking of popping a 320gb western digital HDD (WD3200BEKT) into the PS3, and was wondering if anybody had any input! Is it noisy, does it cause any audio skipping problems (some HDD's have I hear), does it cause the PS3 to heat and inturn increase cooling fan noise? Most interested!

Absolutely pathetic. Don't know what SCEJ are doing but they need a good kick up the bum. According to Famitsu PS3 sold 4800 units last week, dead last again. Absolutely pathetic.
