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

Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Uncharted w/e the hell it's called, Gran Turismo, Heavenly Sword (the demo is way too short), and the Devil May Cry demo which isn't out yet but should be out soon. If you want a cheap game, and I dont know where you live, import Enchanted Arms from North America even tho the game is really boring, but some say it's not that bad once you get half way thru the game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

All their ads a few months ago said it was backwards compatible and now they took it out just like that? I hate sony! I cant wait for a modchip to get out or an iso loader, Im not going to buy any sony product from now on, sheese ps3 games expensive. I shouldve gotten an xbox.

What if you got a Japanese xbox 360 and it happened to be the core version. How would you play xbox games then? Cause it's in Japanese and yea you get my point. Or or... it was the premium but it doesn't play all the xbox games, most of the xbox Madden shit games are playable on the 360 premium.

Lol pwned, but yea I think you can play PS1 games on it. If I were you I'd trade it for a 20gb PS3 or if some one is dumb enough to give their 60gb for your 40gb model. Or just sell it and I'm sure you can buy a 20gb model in that price with a game or two.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I want a xmb screen capture feature, so when I make a PS3 theme I actually have a real preview to use.

How ya doing, buddy?

I dont see anything wrong with the PS3's upscaling. I'm playing FFVIII on my PS3 right now and it looks great compared to it running on a ps1 or a ps2 on a HDTV.

If you're looking at an LCD monitor with an HDMI input, it's gonna cost you arround 600$ - 700$. In that price you can get an HDTV or add a couple hundred dollars maybe, I think those Vizio TV's are pretty cheap. I hear that LCD monitors dont serve that well for using it as a TV as well, but it could be wrong so I'm not sure. Like russ said, buy an HDTV and you could use that as your PC monitor.

Heres one for 550$ Vizio Inc. - Products - VIZIO VW26L HDTV it's not 1080p but I dont know if you care about that or not, but yea Vizio is pretty cheap.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I got an LCD and a Plasma TV, the Plasma is in the living room and the LCD is in my room which I use for gaming. My plasma tv is a newer model and yes pause it for a really long time or just the logo of the channel and it will fade in. It's not a real problem that you would have to get it fixed or anything, theres an option in the TV menu that fixes the fade in so I dont have a problem with that.

I prefer Plasma over LCD for both movies and gaming since it looks better, but I just use my LCD for my games.

FELIPE NO

Sony has stopped making Plasma TV's right? I'm thinking of getting a plasma TV maybe next year to play games on. Something arround 36" inches maybe, but now is 1080p even worth the extra money it if it's a 36" TV? I read on another forum that it's only worth getting a 1080p TV if it's a really big TV.

So I tried watching some .avi files today, I haven't tried it since the firmware update. So a lot of the videos did not work, which was media connects fault. So I read on gizmondo I think it was that Windows Media Player 11 works better than media connect, which is true and a lot of the files are playable on the PS3.

All my episodes of Chuck play fine, same with Devil May Cry the anime, The Big Bang Theory but for some reason some of the episodes of Black Lagoon wont play. The ones that dont play are also a different resolution than the ones that do play. So I read in the comments of that gizmondo site that if the video's resolution is divisable by 16 or some shit that it will play, and if not then it wont play. I also read that some of the files that do not play will play if it's burned on a cd or DVD. Any one tried burning any video files on a cd that doesn't play when streaming from windows media player, and does it play it or not? I dont have any blank cd's or dvd's at the moment so I can't really test it out to see if it works.

When ever I connect my PSP to my PS3 to register it for the remote play thing, turn my ps3 off and my psp, but when I put my computer on my PS3 turns on as well. Does happen any one else or know why it happens? It doesn't happen after that, only when I register the psp with the ps3.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh shizzle, I have to go to gamestop one of these days. Any word on any bonus material you can get if there is any for those who pre-order it?

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

I'll eat crow if I'm wrong, how's that, folks?

Get it on camera please.

And wtf I just noticed this:

It seems out of place among the other smilies.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I was thinking of buying a hard drive for my PS3, but I'm not sure if I should get an external one or those 2.5 inch ones. I have the 60gb model, and I have about 23gb of free space which I guess wont be enough in the future with games like Devil May Cry where you have to install 5gb's of data on your PS3. Any suggestions on which one would be better?

I was speaking idiomatically.

I think what zeta is trying to say is that it only plays the PS1 games that are downloaded from the PS store. I'm not sure if thats true or not, I just think the 40gb version is stupid.

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Then just wait another month or two and get the 80gb version.

FELIPE NO

Back when I was running a shitty forum (cause the owner was a tranny and was nutting over the Wii which he still doesn not own), there were loads of people saying blu-ray would fail as soon as it would come out and dragging the PS3 along with it. I seriously wish that forum was still up so I could post all these articles about the PS3 doing better than HD-DVD.

They should bring the Skype feature to the PS3 like they did with the PSP. I would actually like them to include AIM on the PS3.

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

Whats the attachment file size limit when sending a message in the PS3? I tried sending a picture but it was too big to send. It'd be nice if you could attach videos or multiple images as well.

Also, I put up an add on craigslist to trade or sell my copy of assassins creed, some one wants to trade their copy of Unreal Tournament for the PS3 for my assassins creed and another person wants to offer 45$ for it. Is Unreal Tournament any good?

Edit: I got Unreal Tournament 3 and wow, the single player sucks. Online is kinda fun but I know it will get boring after a while. So I'm gonna have to trade this one as well, I dont know what to trade this one for. Warhawk seems better but I dont really know, I'm looking more for a single player game thats gonna last a while.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
