RE: PS3/PC Installs

[TheRac25]

It's a legitimate request that you own a legitimate copy for each platform.

There's nothing "dbaggy" about it. The same thing was true of FFXI. The price you pay for the game at the store is for the software, not for the account. If you don't own the PS3 software, you can't play it on PS3.


That being said I can't imagine why you would want to play it on the PS3 if you have a PC.

You can just hook your PC up to the same TV, and use motionjoy or whatever it is to use a PS3 controller to play. Better graphics, no memory limitations or bullshit.

did you play xi? of course you needed to buy the disc to install the game but then you could have 2 accounts and not one
maybe you need to reread the op

[Rannie]

Other than one takes a little longer to boot up, what difference is there in turning your PC on vs turning your PS3 on?

You can connect the PC to both TV and monitor, and have your look-up stuff on one screen and the game on the other. You don't need a PS3 to do that.

Your game experience is going to be superior on the PC version. Your argument that you're on a computer all day is invalid because there's no difference between being "on the computer" and "on the PS3" when they're both connected to the same screens...

You can play PC games from the comfort of a couch just as easily as you can play console games.

Buuut, if you can't comprehend how there's no difference, then you're going to have to plunk down extra $ for a PS3 copy. Sucks to be you. Sorry if it sounds mean, but there's really nothing more to it than that.

big difference for me my controller isn't a ps3 controller so it's actually on a cord I can't just sit back and relax unless i pull out a camping chair in my room and sit on it I'm playing in my room on a 26" led/lcd tv on a pc sometimes I want to sit back and stretch out my legs so it would make a huge difference to me in the long run because of sitting on my bed to long cross legged actually hurts me, knees thighs and makes my feet go to sleep so yeah I will be getting the ps3 version also there's less heat as well (I live in florida with a bad air conditioner and my pc generates more heat right now than my ps3 does) Also I don't have a second monitor nor the room to put a second one in.

So sorry if this sounds like lame excuses but think of other people's enviromental factors before making assumptions =) I don't care I'm buying BOTH copies anyway.

You realize that you could use your ps3 controller if you wanted, right? It's totally possible.

The thing is, you can make those environmental factors equal for both platforms. That's why they are lame excuses.

did you play xi? of course you needed to buy the disc to install the game but then you could have 2 accounts and not one

You can still do that- the only catch is you will always have to use the same account on each system(meaning account A will only be on the PS3 and account B will only be on the PC). But you could still play with yourself this way. Even in XI, you couldn't have the same account logged in twice on different PCs or PS2s.

whatever you say buddy you don't know the situtation i'm in nor does it seem like you want to understand so go on thinking what you want to think and we'll agree to disagree.

[Zumi]

SE does require you to have a PS3 version registered on your account if you want to play on PS3. Just spend the $30 and get a PS3 disc.

whatever you say buddy you don't know the situtation i'm in nor does it seem like you want to understand so go on thinking what you want to think and we'll agree to disagree.

I totally know the situation you're in, unless you've failed to explain it correctly. "Agreeing to disagree" doesn't change facts:

- You can use the same controller to play both the PC and PS3 versions of the game
- You can play both of them on the same TV, in front of the same couch or chair or whatever you plan on sitting on.
- Your game experience will be basically identical in either case. You might get PS3 trophies on the PS3 version. That's about the only thing working in the PS3's favor.

These are simple facts. Denying them and singing "LA LA LA LA I CANT HEAR YOU" doesn't change those facts.
There is no advantage or benefit of any kind to playing on the PS3 if you already own a PC copy. I can't see why this is so hard for you to understand. I'd love to understand your situation better, but I can't think of any situation where it would make any kind of difference whatsoever which platform you play on, outside of the game very likely performing much better on the PC and therefore being far superior.

I never said i owned a pc copy either I did say I was buying a copy of both where did I say I already had one. No you don't under stand it nor do you understand my reasonings I know what you're saying you going on about how the graphics will be better yet even though they've already stated that the graphics on the ps3 will be much the same as the pc version ah well it doesn't matter to you one bit secondly i've heard too many people complain about using that program to get their ps3 to work by the way don't you have to have it connected to the computer anyway to use it seeing as how the ps3 controller is bluetooth (can't really say since i don't want to use a program I get better connections with my wired controller connected to my pc anyway so no we'll agree to disagree seeing how most of the time when I say something you want to start an argument over it. third of all I don't want to constantly have to slug a CHAIR over to my room and open it limited space so I would have to sit on my bed but again whatever you say bud i'm done.

Btw I don't own a pc copy. I got a buddy pass from a friend of mine

[Alhanelem]

You don't have to say it. You own a PC copy if you're posting on these forums.

And holy crap man, put some periods in your sentences. I find it hard to believe you're of an age to have a job with that kind of grammar, no offense.

by the way don't you have to have it connected to the computer anyway to use it seeing as how the ps3 controller is bluetooth

You can get a bluetooth adapter for your PC. it's cheap.

third of all I don't want to constantly have to slug a CHAIR over to my room

You shouldn't have to "slug" something to sit on around anywhere. if you connect both PC and PS3 to the same video output device. Yes, i recognize that your PC and PS3 might be in different locations at the present time. What I'm suggesting to you is that you move them to the SAME location, then you don't have to go back and forth.

you offering to buy me one? At this point in time i've been on FMLA and have had just enough money to pay my bills and As per my edit I don't own a pc copy of this game tyvm. Sorry my typing offends you. when i start thinking and typing quickly i don't put periods get used to it. ^_^ and I'm a woman thank you.

They ARE IN THE SAME PLACE!!! MY COMPUTER IS CONNECTED TO MY TV. MY PS3 IS CONNECTED TO MY TV. My pc is connected via DVI-HDMI and my ps3 is connected HDMI. I sit on on BED. I WOULD HAVE TO SLUG A CHAIR AROUND IN MY ROOM TO NOT HURT FROM SITTING ON SAID BED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. Obviously you DID NOT understand what I typed.

If you don't have a PC copy of the game, you can't post on these forums- you certianly don't have a PS3 copy, because they don't exist yet. That means the only other possibility is you're using someone else's account to post.

And if your money is that tight, you probably shouldn't play a subscription based MMO.

Also, once 1.0 shuts down, only people who were paying customers of the game at the time of shutdown will be able to post.

Buddy pass = same as a regular PC account (lterally: The buddy pass is just a regular registration code). Therefore you own a PC copy of the game.

and I'm a woman thank you.

I didn't say whether you were a man or a woman. "Holy crap man" is just easier to say than "holy crap woman." When you're in a room full of men and women, do you say "holy crap men and women?" No, most people just say 'guys' when collectively referring to a group. It's common and it's socially acceptable.

Obviously you DID NOT understand what I typed.

Obviously you didn't type it correctly, because that's not what you said when I responded.
