Anyone who knows me knows I'm a SERIOUS gamer and being this way means I've sniffed out all the best place's to buy PS3 Gaming Paraphernalia. After recently finding the G27 steering wheel (usually costs £300) for the bargain price of £230, I decided to write a quick blog to share some of my knowledge with RobGroove.com readers. As I'm a PS3 gamer the information below is directed towards other PS3 gamers in the UK but may also work just as well with Gaybox.... er...  ahem... I mean Xbox user's as well as gamers in other countries. When it comes to buying there are 4 catagories, 3 of which I will list info for. The 4th one is Consoles and the best thing to do is just shop around reputable dealers and find a reasonable price. I wouldn't buy 2nd hand if I were you. If you're buying a console you really should get a brand new one as 2nd hand models could be fixed with a quick fix and break down on you within a matter of months. Pre-Orders and Brand New Games Buying games brand new or pre-ordering them from anywhere will mean you'll pay full price for the [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/best-stores-for-ps3-gamers-in-the-uk/3248/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/socom-4-april-19th-in-usa-no-uk-date/3122/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/socom-4-april-19th-in-usa-no-uk-date/3122/#comments Fri, 28 Jan 2011 06:53:33 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=3122

Our favourite community leader @MusterBuster has just announced on the UK PlayStation blog that the Win GT5 SE competition is now live so if you're in the UK and a PS3 owner head on over to the UK blog and sign up for your chance to win. And just to wet your appetite, have a look at the video below created by a GT fan, Very cool. Features audio from "The Scream Of Science" BBC F1 intro combined with footage from GT5 and the song "Rebirth" by the band Hadouken! This is just a fan made trailer to tease all of us GT fans who cannot wait for this game to finally come, less than 12 days as I post this! I hope you all enjoy, all feedback is welcome. Again, much credit goes to the fantastic narration courtesy of the awesome BBC Scream Of Science intro they did to their coverage last season]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/win-gt5-signature-edition/2614/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/playstation-beta/1668/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/playstation-beta/1668/#comments Wed, 21 Jul 2010 09:02:19 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=1668

If your in the US you can subscribe to Qore for $25.00 or you can just get PSN+ which includes the Qore subscription but for us over in Europe and the UK Qore is not availableso how do we get it? It's not easy to do but if you really want it this is how. First of all you need to make an American PSN account when it comes to the address part just use google to find a USA address and zip code, may i suggest somewhere in California as i they do not seem to charge tax whereas i think if you use a New York address you will be charged approx an extra $5. So now you have your USA PSN account you can now log on and view what the Americans get on their Playstation store (yes they get different content and PS Home is different too) But to buy anything from the US playstation store you will need to add funds to your PS wallet and you won't be able to do that with your Euro or UK credit/bank card as the address on your card does not match the adress on your US PSN [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/get-qore-outside-of-the-u-s/1607/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/this-will-bend-your-mind/1517/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/this-will-bend-your-mind/1517/#comments Wed, 23 Jun 2010 11:00:36 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=1517 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/this-will-bend-your-mind/1517/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/great-white-britain/402/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/great-white-britain/402/#comments Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:58:53 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=402
Slightly off my usual topics but had to post this when i saw it. Global warming everybody seems to think but i think its all down to the 300 year weather cycle which if true means 4 or 5 more years of snowy winters. Anyway check out this picture of the UK covered in snow and if you'd like to download a larger version of the photo just click here]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/great-white-britain/402/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/gt-academy-my-times-update/226/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/gt-academy-my-times-update/226/#comments Fri, 18 Dec 2009 05:44:56 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=226
