[PS3] PlayStation 3 Fan Noise. Annoyingly loud, ain't it?

Does anyone who isn't a total dork even care about Home?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

"Gotta take away that backwards compatibility now that we have over 65 PS3 titles available! That's almost as many as the THOUSANDS of titles available on PS2 right? So who would even want backwards compatibility anymore?"

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It means that they will probably stay on the shelves unless individual retailers decide to slash their price in order to clear them off the shelves. You know, since Sony didn't really mention anything about that.

Not exactly what I was referring to, but also, the new Spiderman blu-rays actually do have an image associated with them, rather than just the little blu-ray disc icon.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You wanting to access your porn collection while having lunch at McDonalds, or while taking a break from studying at the university library? That's messed up dude.

FELIPE NO

It is common knowledge that they removed backwards compatibility in the 40 gig model. This is something that has been discussed, at length, all over the internet, and has been discussed in this thread. It is not completely Sony's fault that you were misinformed.

How ya doing, buddy?

Look for a monitor with HDMI input. Or buy an HDTV and let it double as your monitor, using a VGA cable with your PC.

Wow, it's like you totally ignored the links that he provided as reference to the standard fiscal years used in each country.

Either way, it's not like anyone in their right mind would preorder games that are that far out, so who cares what date Pawnstop has in their computers?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This has been speculated as being a serious possibility over the past few weeks, and I am excited that it has come to be. With rumours circulating that Universal will soon {possibly as soon as CES} announce that it is going to support both formats, hd-dvd will not be able to last much longer.

How ya doing, buddy?

If you get an internal one, make sure it is not a 7200 rpm drive. They run hotter than the 5400 rpm drives, which is what you should be looking to get if you go the internal route.

Does Sony even work on getting more PS2 games compatible with the 80GB model or are they just bullshitting and just made released an update once thats it? Doesn't matter to me, I got the 60gb but I'm just wondering since the 60gb models aren't being made and who knows if I ever need buy an 80gb model.

I also bought a blu-ray movie today, and it's the first time I was watching a blu-ray movie. Damn the quality is great, but damn the price.

First of all, this zeta guy is pretty stupid and/or misinformed, and yet he continues talking. No one should listen to him until he proves that he can consistently make accurate statements.

Secondly, the 40 gig PS3 can play any PSX games, whether they are on disc or downloaded from the store. The 40 gig PS3 has the necessary hardware to make that happen.

Third, according to the several members here who have the 80 gig models, the software backwards compatibility is pretty solid, with a very large percentage of games supported, so if you simply cannot locate a 60 gig, it wouldn't be the end of the world to get an 80 gig. Again, according to the several members here with that model.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Read the quote again. Then actually understand the quote. Then you will see why the quote is most likely not a typo. By your logic, you are saying that the Warner decision would have little effect over the format war. Clearly that makes no sense at all. But on the supposed console war between PS3 and 360, it would seemingly have little impact.

But anyways, there was a blu-ray vs. hd-dvd thread in media centre but the topic creator was an hd-dvd fanboy to the extreme and ended up closing the thread when a few people expressed support for blu-ray.

Here is the product you are looking for:

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802581

While it says that USB cable is not included, you can just use the cable used to charge your ps3 controller instead. It will work. I doubt Pawnstop will ship to the UK, but at any rate, you know what to look for now.

Theres also BD-live and "resume play" feature for blueray and dvd's even if the disc is ejected.
divx files over 2gb are now supported as well and divx subtitles are now usable. Although i'm not sure if it means .str files becuase i was unable to make any of them work, but a few unsopported divx movies are now viewable. Now sure what else there is, it seems as tho i won't make much use from this update ~_~

The BD-Live stuff is nice and all, but what does a guy have to do to get screencap functionality on his triple? I can't be the only one who has been wanting that feature since day one.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well ok, I have both Warhawk and CoD4, so will see if I can break it down for you. If you want an online only game with huge maps and teams so big that you won't actually feel like part of a team, and therefore won't really give a shit if you or your team is successful, go for Warhawk. If you want something that has smaller teams, smaller maps, making for a more intimate affair, an affair where you will actually care about the outcome, get CoD4. However, if you tend to get really into the competition, to an unhealthy degree, stay away from CoD4, as all of the glitching and bullshit that runs rampant on that game's multiplayer can become very frustrating.

It's gonna be silly.

Should be fine, that has plenty of holes to facilitate air flow.

My 60 gig doesn't have any heat issues and the fan noise is much more quiet than my 360.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Why can't they have Heavenly Sword on there for like 10 bucks or something. Racing wheel would be pretty bitchin though if it were cheap.

How ya doing, buddy?

I guess the SOCOM folks figured that Call of Menus 4 was really successful, so it would be a good game to model their pre-game online experience after.

It'll be region locked so you two can't play with each other.
