Is Spectator Mode and Options gone for anyone else, or is it just me?

Moved this into the quick questions thread in Video Gaming. Other Chat was not the right place! :)

How do I get the PS3 Motion Controller to run? I charged it and everything but it still won't come on. What am I doing wrong?

What do you mean it won't come on? You mean the controller itself doesn't switch on? Or you can't connect it to the PS3?

If you mean it won't turn on, power wise, it might be faulty, so I would take it back to the shop that you bought it at.

[Konekodemon]

When I play games that require it, the thing doesn't light up like it's supposed to, and the game won't sense it at all.

[Captain Fabio]

Have you tried connecting the controller vire the USB cable to the PS3 system? That is how you register the normal controllers, so try that, if you haven't already.

If you have done this and the controllers seem to be completely dead and you have charged them correctly, then ring the shop and explain it to them and ask for a replacement.

[Konekodemon]

But I don't have a PS3 USB cable. And I can't find a place around here that sells them.

Uhh... the PS3 comes with at least 1 USB connection, otherwise you wouldn't be able to sync your controller with the PS3 and I am sure the PS Move comes with one.

The official name for the cable you want is a 'mini B plug USB'. They are VERY common and you can pick them up on the internet for hardly anything.

i was wondering if anyone had borderlands for 360 and wanted to play with a lonely gamer o---o pm me if interested

[The Last One]

Does anyone know how to unlock all the characters in that game?

Pretty sure this tells you how to unlock every character and other stuff as well.

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but what game is more worth of buying? I'm trying to ponder whether I should buy Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey or Pokemon Black?

Strange Journey received a lot of positive reviews and I'm currently addicted to a Megami Tensei game. On the other hand, I'd really like to play Pokemon Black since that was the version I really wanted to buy instead of Pokemon White. I wanted to restart my Black but all of my hard earned legendaries have been transferred there. Or maybe I should get another novel game like Ace Attorney (is that even a visual novel?) or go with a Pokemon game I've never played before like Pokemon Ranger 3?

[Sydian]

Well, all I can say is don't get Ranger. XD; Dunno about the others, but go ahead and cross Ranger off the list. Spin offs, imo, aren't really worth it. But I mean, if you played the other Rangers and liked them, ignore what I'm telling you. I'm just a Ranger hater really...that and you can spend your money better rather than on a silly spin off.

Okay, I've recently re-entered the world of Pokemon and I need your help. I just finished playing Ruby. I have no Pokemon games released after this one.
Should my next adventure be B/W, HG/SS or Platinum?
Right now, I'm leaning toward HG/SS, due to the nostalgia factor. But I wouldn't mind experiencing a completely new region. And I'm pretty sure I'd like to play Platinum before I play B/W.
What do you think?

I'd say Pokemon Platinum, HG/SS, and then B/W.
Or it can be HG/SS, and Platinum. But the reason for Platinum, you can transfer over your pokemon you have on Platinum to HG/SS. Then B/W since its the most recent Region/Gen.

I'm sure this is a "duh" question to pretty much anyone on this website. Can I transfer my Pokemon from Ruby to any of the DS games?
As you can tell, I'm far behind on my Pokemon stuff.

[Devil's Guitarist]

hey guys, I bought a final fantasy viii copy a few week ago (because i sold my first one with my ps1 a long time ago) and I have the dumbest problem on earth! I can't take out the 2nd and 3rd cds!! I also bought a final fantasy ix copy too but they came with a different "holder" thats easy but this one... I don't knwo what to do!

It's very rigid and no matter where you push it or how you push it wont let go of the cd and I've tried everything but it doesn't work... and well... I'm getting near the end of the first cd xD it's really pissing me off and it makes me nervous the fact that I wont be able to play it because the case wont let go of it ¬¬" anyways, help me please!! and thanks a lot forehand!

I've posted some pictures so it helps!

[Tyranee]

You ever try wedging something between the center holder thing and the center of the CD? You'll have to be very careful but maybe you can lever it out.

[Devil's Guitarist]

yes I did try that but that's not the way it is supposed to be and if i do it I may damage the little things that grab the cd and end up with nothing to hold the cd. thank you so much for answering!

[Captain Fabio]

They certainly can be tricky and sometimes you do have to put a bit of force into pressing the middle and lifting the CD at the same time. Don't worry, they don't break easily but just be gentle about it.
Just press the middle hard and lift one side of the CD.

[Devil's Guitarist]

IT WORKED!! YEAHHH!! =D WOOHOO! hahahaah thanks guys!! you rock! (I had to push the center really hard and then move the CD a little to a direction so I could take it out one by one =D

[OminousMix]

I'm looking for an MMO Game to play that is 2D, the Fantasy/Action Genre and possibly includes Dragons. It can be a GBA/NDS game aswell.
I've searched for a game of the sort...couldn't find something i haven't tried.

Hey, PC!

I was on PSN today, and I kept on receiving messages about a "fake birthday giveaway" featuring free games. I finally figured out that is was fake. I searched the internet if anyone knew anything about this, but I couldn't find anything. So, what are your opinions on it, and what is the info you know on it?

Usually, random giveaways are not to be trusted. Just ignore and move on?

[Pwnyta Jockey]

So the 'hinge' of my DS Lite are loose. How does that happen?

[Gymnotide]

ROFL WHY DID I WRITE THAT? XDDDDD

Anyway, more likely than not, you either have a crack somewhere on the hinge connectors (possibly on the inside), or the plastic got worn out a bit and now it's not fitting as properly. You can probably send it to Nintendo and they'll fix it for you, but if you're ballsy enough you can try it yourself. I'm not much for fixing tech, but you can always check the internet. Though, I'm pretty sure you void your customer service if you try to fix it yourself.
