while showing my daughter where I used to live 20 years ago, I decided to use Google street view to see if the old game store I used to frequent was still there. Not only was it still there, but I could read the web address on the sign. Wanting to support my old friend I ordered BoP, a game which I could not find locally.

A year later I'm still playing and having fun and it is all thanks to this incredible community. Thank you everyone.

Its always been a strong community and one where we've all helped each other along the way, whether we be PS3 or 360 players :)

A great bunch.

I'm glad you've found your old game shop that you used to visit haha. I should pop back onto this forum from time to time, but now i spend it mostly over at the Gaijen one with everyone else. Seems we've all finally made the move over at last. Just have to make sure any potential new pilots know where to find it to.

Not quite sure what you mean?

We could just start a new thread on the Gaijen forum and then just paste it all over to that...

Providing it gets a sticky?

No need to type it all up :)

Yup it can be copied and pasted onto a new thread. May take an hour or so because theirs quite a bit but it doesnt all need to be done in one day. If the mods on our "new home" don't pin it though then i think it may be a waste of time.

It's possible to burn out a disc? Guess I've never played a single game long enough to experience that...

Do you not have to install the game onto the hard drive on the PS3?So most of the time you are reading off the HD not the BRdisk, you really shouldn't be going through disks like this. Ive had the same disk for my xbox for over 3 years, 2 of those were constant playing off the disk before the USB stick storage ability was added to the dashboard (for me, running the game off a SSD really improved the smoothness of the game by the way)
