There are, tons actually. Now, when you say display, you have to be mindful that this includes televisions. Computer monitors are a completely different area, in that manufacturers may need to get that shove from the rest of the industry to start making their DVI ports HDCP compliant. Graphics cards are already moving in that direction in order to output copyrighted HDDVD and Blu-Ray movies, so the display device itself should be the next on the line.

I meant displays with DVI inputs. Never seen an actual television with DVI.

So PS3 and computer monitors are absolutely no go?

I'm still curious on what setup Cobalt is using, though.

PS3 + HDMI->DVI cable + Dell 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor

Works fine.

your monitor support HDCP so that's why it work fine... mine don't so I bought a hdmi->dvi cable for nothing ; ;

Haven't been looking too hard then, Rock. TVs equipped with HDCP compliant DVI inputs have been around for a few years now.

Certain Dell monitors are already on the HDCP bandwagon, though you have to look at the specs to be sure.

For games as well as BluRay movies? Because that monitor sure as hell isn't HDCP compliant. That would be awesome news. I don't feel like buying a full-fledged HDTV yet, and a monitor like that should be excellent as a temporary solution to enjoy the PS3 in all its HD glory.

EDIT: Just double-checked and noticed the 2007WFP does indeed support HDCP over DVI. The Dell page just didn't state it. Too bad ... -__-

Hmm, did a little google searching and it seems that there aren't too many HDCP compliant PC monitors. As I suspected, even considering how dated the article is, there doesn't seem to be a good variety of displays to choose form.

In what may be an error on Sony's part, Lemmings is currently $2.99. Grab it now before they correct it..

The Genji 2 demo was a big disappointment. The scenery and characters look wonderful standing still, but there's a ton of slowdown, choppiness, and a seriously gimped Benkei (1 attack hits!?). This could have been big if they spent more time on it.

An error? Why taking the worst case scenario? If we see more things priced at that, it'll spur their competitors into either improving their own services or lowing the costs of their titles. VC and XBLA come to mind.

Well I thought the original price was $5.99. GAF is reporting it as an error. It's definetely worth the money though, based on the demo.

Heh, I bought it for the original price before the error occured. Oh well.

FF7's one flaw for that part of the game isn't the main problem for me. It's all the other games and their
Sure, that's an impressive number. But what if, like me, all the games you own just so happen to be part of the other 5%?

Ugh I was looking at my PS3 box today and a section of the bottom is all scrunched in and it tore a bit so I can see the inside of the box slightly. I have a feeling the damn system isn't even going to work when I hook it up. I can't hook it up yet because I have to organize and move some things around but it looks like something rammed up on the botton of the box. Or a section of it anyway.

WolfDemon: At least you know that Sony is going to fix these issues, just give them a chance. On the other hand I wish I still had my original X-box for only two of my 56 games work on the 360... how's that for ya. Worst part is that I know that MS is NEVER going to make any more BC updates. I guess Peter Moore knows all though when he said, "We're not going to update the BC list any more because no one plays X-box games still". Hmmmm... too bad your ivory tower has shitty informents because LOTS of people WOULD if the damn $500 system COULD run them... dumb ass.

Dragoon: It's not that big of a deal, just because the box has a rip doesn't mean anything because there's tons of foam between the system and the box. However if it doesn't work you just take it back and they have to give you one from their next shipment. Like I said, no big deal.

Is there such a connector available that will allow me to hook up my PS2 and Gamecube using the composite cables to the VGA input on my LCD? I also own an ALL IN WONDER X800XT but I can't for the life of me figure out how to use all the converter boxes and contraptions it came with. I was positive I'd be able to get this to work somehow but I fail. My problem is that the television (not mine) is in one room and my stereo is in another. This means the time I can spend gaming on that TV is very limited and I also have to deal with crappy sound. As much as I am enjoying playing FFXII at the moment it sucks only being able to play at 1:00am with the crappy sound turned all the way down because everyone is asleep. Woe. :(

Damn the people who already set insane time records in Lemmings. I've tried to redo the floater level over and over but I can only finish in about 18 seconds (top scorers finish in 17).

Slayer X: I attached some pics. Maybe it is just me, you tell me or not. I do have a slight case of OCD so I get paranoid about this stuff sometimes.

Those are two pics I took with my low budget camera.

Are you thinking about just returning the damaged box without opening it or why are you posting these pictures?

looks like a 60% chance nothing even touched the ps inside, dragoon.

On an unrelated sidenote, is it just me or does the flow of games seem very low ? It seems like nothing is coming out and the whole lineup of launch titles is crappy.

What's the point in releasing the system early then? Just wondering.

Same with most console launches. Wii honestly had a rather weak initial lineup as well (albeit with more quality titles than PS3's), and their release forecast is almost nil until Spring 2007. It tends to go that way, though there's still plenty of good things to play till then on both the new consoles and existing ones.

I cop'd my ps3 today. 60 gig, new/sealed and hidden somewhere . 2 of them. I didn't bother reading all the posts but I am wondering if the models that we get after the first release are still defects or something. Mine is just laying there collecting dust. Askin what games are out there. I was looking at Genji at least .Anybody play that game yet?

So has anyone tried using their PS3 controller on a PC yet?

I'm curious to find out if it really works as a standard USB controller that games actually recognize or if the few posters who couldn't get it to work weren't just butterfingers after all.

Then you take your PS2, hook it up, stop bitching, and play on that. The PS3 is mainly there to play PS3 games. The fact that it works so well with the great majority of PS2 and PSX games is not something that you should be bitching about so much.

The only thing I've tried is hooking up the controller to my PC in order to recharge it. But I'll probably give this a shot, even though I already use an adaptor for my PS2 controller. A USB hookup would probably be a little less cumbersome, though it would be great if it could work wirelessly.

Also, I ended up enjoying Lemmings more than I thought. My first (and until now, only) experience was the SNES game, which I only rented but certainly enjoyed. I read about different variations in the sequels (some that worked, some that didn't), but I'm glad the PS3 version keeps the core gameplay of the SNES game. It's also very clean and colorful for a mini-game, and I like the option of being able to zoom in and fast forward.

The fact that the Lemmings are cuter makes it all the more tragic when they explode, drown, or splatter from a great height. :(

Also, does anyone know a site or forum that regularly updates on the features of PS3 Linux? I burned the Linux into a DVD, but I haven't bothered to use it since my new LCD lets me hook up my PC to it, thus eliminating my primary interest with YDL (the emulators). I did read news about someone managing to upconvert PS1/PS2 games, so I'm waiting for an update on that.

Got the controller working on my PC with that, thanks :D Just got done playing some PSU with it.
