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

Game journalism is worthless. So is the rumble the same or not. Obviously it can't be, since it uses seperate motors.

I'd just call it the Axis Shock.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Anybody who runs PS2/1 games on their PS3 is an idiot to begin with. Every single game looks like ass thanks to forced deinterlacing, and the upscaling is terrible (the scaler of my JVC is superior). Practically everyone on Earth has a PSTwo anyway, so I don't see what the problem is.

The only benefit is potentially cleaner audio, since the PS3 has a more stable chassis, and an optical clock that wasn't manufactured by Radio Shack.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Full HD is just BS marketing talk that Sony made up.

If you want to get technical, Full HD, which is 1080p, isn't even "Full" HD, which in reality is over 4000p.

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

$399 for the PS3 is an excellent deal, especially if you are looking to get into HDM. Along with Spider-Man 3, you also get 5 free Blu-ray discs with the mail-in offer.

There is also a huge B1G1 going on at almost every major retailer this week.

The XMB customization should be aight. At least I'll be able to see the damn icons on my wallpaper now.

I am still waiting for my Blu-ray screen-capture function, as well as 1:85 stretch.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Of course I have the best idea for a theme ever. All icons replaced with squadron insignias from Ace Combat series.

Here comes the pose.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

This sounds crazy, but some people even vacuum their houses.

FELIPE NO

Have they figured out how to play 5.1 audio from .MP4 yet.

I know that the latest firmware supports multichannel audio, but only for .ts. But nobody care about that.

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

That's good to hear. I am pretty much content with everything the PS3 has to offer at this point, other than the lack of 5.1 and FLAC support.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm 99% sure that the half-naked anime girl in the corner is creating the interference, but just in case it isn't, do you want to tell us how you are hooking it up to the TV.

It could actually be the HDMI bugging out.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Is there anyone here with an HDMI receiver that can process MPCM.

Need someone to confirm that 5.1 AAC is possible, but only if your receiver decodes AAC internally or is MPCM capable through HDMI.

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

The Onkyo 605 can process MPCM over HDMI. The unit can handle TrueHD and DTS-HD MA, after all.

I just read that guide, and it's absurd to go through all that just to get one trailer to play in 5.1. I'll just have to wait until Sony offers an update for transcoding AAC.

How ya doing, buddy?

Profile 1.1 allows for advanced interactivity features (such as PIP).

I don't care about anything anymore other than screen capture function for videos and Blu-ray movies.

Is there anyone that uses TVersity who can elaborate on how the hell to make it work in a more practical manner?

I noticed that when you delete items from your shared folders, the PS3 still thinks that it's there. Two trailers that I deleted last night are still there, and they shouldn't, since I had shut down my computer last night, meaning a restart of TVersity.

I am trying to refresh my media library, but seems like it's taking forever, even though I only have a single shared folder with like, one media file. TVidiocy.

EDIT: Nevermind, TVersity likes to show the "busy" icon even when it's done refreshing your media.

Anyone buy the original WarHawk on PSN?

I can't believe they made that rubbish MP game for PS3 instead of a true sequel.

Seeing the FMV brings back so many good memories.

PS2/1 games look hideous on PS3.

Keep your old systems.

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

PS3's upscaling is laughable, and results in an image that looks as if it was smeared with vaseline (no smoothing). Allowing my TV to upscale results in a better image, but the PS3's awful deinterlacing creates an image that is still unnaturally soft.

If the PS3 could output the original 480i signal, all would be well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My next TV will definitely be a 1080p plasma. At the end of the day, it's really all about black levels, and plasma sets generally offer the best.

Alternatively, there's LCOS, which is what I own now. Price-to-size ratio, pixel fill, commendable scaling and proper deinterlacing (on my model, anyway) are just some of the benefits. Black level is more than acceptable, but like most current technologies, it's walking the line between crush and greyish blacks.

I wish they would have spent a little more time with flat-screen 16x9 CRTs. With a little better engineering, they probably could have remedied the whole "curved corners" problem (inability of the gun to reach extreme edges) with most sets...especially on Samsungs...but that's probably because Samsung celebrates the usage of junk parts.

As for LCD, I had a particular love for my Sony KDL-V2500 since it allowed me to physically place a center channel speaker in the proper spot (tweeters aligned with L/R monitors), as the LCD was light enough to sit on top of it...but I couldn't imagine watching something like Batman Begins or playing The Darkness with one.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Has anybody encountered any jumpy framerates and audio skips with Ninja Gaiden Sigma? I am surprised that I am getting any of this...I'm under the suspicion that it might have something to do with the HD install.

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

Surely those are placeholder dates?

Gamestop has SCIV listed for June, but I thought that was slated for Spring '08.

Is there any reason as to why Sony keeps releasing different versions of the PS3 with different sized hard drives? Since the drive is removable, you'd figure that they'd just have one single 20GB version. Although I heard that they were losing tons of money off of that.

Is it just a clever way of ripping people off, since the cost to Sony between a 40GB drive and a 80GB drive is supposedly moot?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hey guys. Perhaps this is more appropriate news for the media forum, but it seems that Warner has just decided to drop HD-DVD support, and release in DVD and Blu-ray exclusively. This is a huge blow, and will probably decide the outcome of the HDM war.

Just another good reason to own a PS3 and be confident in the investment.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Assuming that HD-DVD really does tank, I'll be very sad to see it go. The technology was definitely solid, and it would have been interesting to see what it might have evolved into.

Other than seeing shelves of blue cases, I don't really have a problem with Blu-ray taking over DVD's spot, but it really does need a lot of work when it comes with elaborate menu trees and interactivity. I couldn't imagine something like Bourne Supremacy on Blu-ray right now, although I'm sure that the new profile makes it all possible.

The HD-DVD group did make a lot of stupid mistakes though, like pushing combo discs, rarely initiating any kind of sales, thin advertising, etc. I'm just interested to see what Paramount does now, since a lot of money was involved when they agreed to be HD-DVD exclusive.

I could have sworn that I was playing TR: Anniversary on my 20GB the other day.

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

I believe that HD resolution is important at any practical size (20" >). If you were to get a small screen, I'd assume that you would be sitting close enough to notice the difference between 720 and 1080 res. But this is just a purist's opinion.

And TV shopping will definitely drive you up a wall. I had to return my old Sony a couple of times since I was on an OCD trip and couldn't accept dead pixels. My best advice is to go to the store and hook some of your personal content up and see if you like how it looks. If you try to do too much research online, you'll never buy anything, because everything, and I mean everything, has some kind of problem.
