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

Check here: Display Devices - AVS Forum , no better place on the interwebs for this stuff.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I would let that to Cetra (Looks like she/he/it knows this stuff)... but if I had to guess, I would say that they want to confuse the hell out of consumers.

Or maybe to give an easy way to recognize the different versions and -at the same time- "hide" the most relevant differences among them.

If there was any doubt about how big this is:

The party for HD DVD is over, literally | Tech news blog - CNET News.com
http://wesleytech.com/ces-hd-dvd-eve...ouncement/483/

The HI Def war is over, now the war against DVD and other consoles begins... this could be an interesting year for Sony.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'll just repeat some stuff I read earlier, but basically several so-called-experts claim that this is it. (I would put the sauce, but AVS and pretty much any other relevant A/V forum is impossible to check right now)

Anyways, if this is really IT... let's hope blue ray will turn as a fine format and proper match for the DVD. (Because this new war looks very very long)

And in my opinion, both formats had everything to make a fine predecessor, but we all knew/wanted/needed only 1 format.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I hardly see that stuff NOT coming for the ps3 sometime in the future... on the other side I would kill for a decent mail client (POP3 or whatever) integrated on the PS3.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm sure that someone like Megalith would have a whole nother take on it, but I'm not a videophile/TV tech expert like him.

Also unless you going to be getting a 40" + set, 1080P isn't really a big deal. But more details on this stuff can be given to you when you get to shopping for a new set. Till then enjoy your new game box ^^

BULLITIN
We PS3 owners need to make the desire for a PSN tag spot in our profiles known to the moderators. Seriously, the Wii got this feature long before which is pratically useless since you need a new code per an individual game.

I have to disagree, it's a ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS. However, it could be easy if money isn't a problem (60+ 1080p Plasmas)

FELIPE NO

Meh, meh meh meh.

@kupomog: I don't know about good models at that size, but 1 thing is certain: 1080p is pretty much useless on "small" screens (Don't bother with it... and I'm not even sure if there is that option for those sets)

Edit: Meh meh meh,

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

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.

So much truth in those words.

However, I still consider that 1080 at that size is not really "useful", BUT if he intends to use it as a pc monitor (distance and stuff), well... everything changes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh just great, a new pretty update and still I cant use my freaking CCs.

Sony MUST hurry with those silly prepaid cards (or whatever they are called)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I assume it hasn't made it back yet since he's still talking about it, but I don't have 7.1 audio and thus, haven't looked into it.

*checks receiver and ps3 manuals*

Dude, as far as I remember, 7.1 NEVER worked on optical. Actually, I cant remember seeing anything 7.1 on optical.

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

Wow. I hope they start up a .hack project after this.

So much true in those words, that game looks fantastic. Hopefully at the end of this generation we will see near animation quality.

And finally, the PSN Cards... Man, can't remember for how long I have been waiting for those.

No date yet for HOME or In game XMB, right?

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

Welcome to the club, my friend.

In my case, it's because sony doesn't like money from international banks.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I guess this is the place to ask for this...

Currently I need to upgrade the HDD of my ps3 (60GB model), and I would like to hear some advice.

This is the best drive I have found so far:
Newegg.com - Western Digital Scorpio WD3200BEVT 320GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Notebook Hard Drive - Laptop Hard Drives
Newegg.com - HITACHI Travelstar 5K320 HTS543232L9A300(0A56417) 320GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Notebook Hard Drive - Laptop Hard Drives
(Haven't search for it too much)
