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

I have a few questions about the ps3.
is it normal that it takes a little while to shut down? And I understand that the preinstalled software and whatnot should take quite a bit of space from the harddrive but to call it the 80gb version only to find that you have 64 or so gb free to do as you please with is bullcrap. I know this is normal for computers and the ps3 itself is close to a computer but come on ><!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I have another question @_@
I plugged in my 80gb usb harddrive into the ps3. It's partitioned into two 40gb halfs but its not detecting the master first half. It only detects the slave second. Why is that o-0?

Shadow of the colossus really felt like a one time game. If the the Ico team does work on a another game it's more possible that there would be an Ico 2 with the kid being a little older but even then I think they would just create a completely new game that would tie in the story between ico and shadow of the colossus.
Whatever they decided to do I know it'll be must-have.

And blue ray now controlling 70% of the market really does seem like a defeat for the hd-dvd player owners the only good part about this is if the hd-dvd really does throw in the tower, we'll be seeing plenty of promotions so that they can get rid of all the extra players and dvd's that they have but then after that whats left? :/

How ya doing, buddy?

I didn't really care much for Home but after hearing what they can do with those things, I can't wait to try it out. The strategy room idea is awesome, it brings a whole new level of depth into the game and also sounds very sci-fi. Now I relly need to get warhawk.
I just hope adverts don't go crazy in there.

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

I saw that face tracking thing a while ago, looks interesting.
There was also a japanese newscast of the eyetoy and being able to put all sorts of crap in your face . And I also remember there being some sorta futuristic spy game in early stages of the ps3 in which the pseye would transfer your image as a hologram into the game but that has yet to be seen in a full game :/

I was speaking idiomatically.

just checked out the playstation store new downloads. Usual rock band and guitar hero tracks then theres a game called rocketman, which was a very poor excuse of a shooter I'd say. Not only that but the scenes were very laughable with no real attempt at any sort of movement or animation.
BUT, if you log into a japanese account and go into the playstation store there is a very nice game with a cool concept. It looks like a very fancy flash game and the music is just calming and very awesome. It's a game that focuses on the different demensions of the area such as "If you can't see it, it doesn't exist" "It exist but you just can't see it" and the drops and jumps also rely on the perspective on the screen. It may have japanese text but the dialog is in english and learning curb is easy. If you like puzzle games you find it interesting. Sorta reminds me of the Xenosaga 3 minigame, except its actually good.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

so update 2.20 was just release a while ago.
Ability to transfer playlist of music and photos to the psp is now available. Also being able to listen to ps3 music thru the psp or something like that.
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 ~_~

anyways i have a question of reccomendation. I am goin to preorder gta4 and mgs4 but i would like to buy a game that is currently available and i was looking into getting some online action. So question is, warhawk or call of duty 4? or maybe another popular online game which i am unaware about. cod4 seems more popular but warhawk has a bundle with a bluetooth headset which i would need.

How ya doing, buddy?

omg believe it or not, I have been so sure of what I wanted for such a long time (plus burning games) that i completely forgotten about "rental"....seriously.
I guess I sorta did give prefrences to what I wanted but I didn't mean to do that. I just said I was going to preorder those games becuase I wanted to say it since all I have right now is motorstorm and heavenly sword.
Truth is, I'd be okay with getting either warhawk or cod4 but I wanted to get an individual opinion for both games to help me make up my mind.

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

thnx for the info. I am actually more interested in cod4 but the headset bundle in warhawk is tempting. I may just get a cheap oone later in the future.
Anyhow, I just remembered the "save target" feature in the new update. When you download a direct file for the ps3 it will start streaming instead of downloading directly into the harddrive which i find pretty cool because at the moment my ps3 is my pc ~_~
If you still decide to save something you have to go into File > Save target .
I still would have liked the latest flash player for the browser but this is a nice solution for a few files for now.

How ya doing, buddy?

oh damn you beat me too it ^^
but yeah, I heard that there were many problems and other than the very long download I didn't have any problems myself. Hopefully no one else here had any problems. We have very few ps3 users as it is.
Anyways, WTF sony!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

didn't they already have a warning not to turn off your ps3 during updates and installs and blah.
They should have more of a "Backup your shit on a usb" warning which is what i'm going to do before each update now. Nothing happened to my ps3 during 2.40 update but if I had known all the problems beforehand, I might of hesitated. It's one thing to format your hdd do get your ps3 up and running again, but I don't want to lose all my saved data as well.
I'll go update later

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

As promised in E3 we can link up our psn ID with our PSU accounts and message and add friends and do all sorts of things away from your ps3.
Along with that we get these neat little avatars that do nothing more than display your name and "about me" section such as this one

PSU users should have gotten an email about it by now

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

is rocketman that cartoony looking one with a comic book transition.
If so, I thought that game was horrible. I couldn't stand playing that for more than 2 minutes. This of course was the demo.
I also tried the pixeljunk eden demo, It was interesting. Didn't really get the point other than collecting those little spores and making things grow. If anything it looks visually eye refreshing.

Supposedly when you downloaded the theme you submitted your application to be in the beta and now we play the waiting game
PlayStation.Blog » Want into the PlayStation Home Closed Beta test? Here’s How to Apply

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

the game really that good?
Might consider getting it if it is and if I do get it, I expect online group races X|

FELIPE NO

well then I'll see if i get it later today and I'll be online in the evening for any invites and from what I gather, this game has custom soundtrack option which is a huge plus for me.

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

just got the game, took a bit to download >_>
Tried the first level really quick and found it fun, although I haven't played wipeout since ps1 on a demo so knocking on the walls was a normal.
would have loved to play online but i didn't have the energy since I seem to have caught a virus ~_~
Maybe this weekend

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well the video feature is going to have an option to browse through chapters of movies recorded into your harddrive which is what i wanted for quite sometime since the psp has had this for the longest time already. Other than that, it says that there is a power save feature to turn off your controller or console after a certain amount of idle time, and BD/DVD options are going to be renamed into Video options.
Nothing too grand, downloading it now anyways

There's nowhere I can't reach.

holy crap your right chato, used to be that I had to download the videos from gamtrailer in order to watch them but now I can just stream them. It's about fucking time they updated the flash player.
Also I just noticed that it shows the amount of time a person has been offline, so I guess I'll remove some random people to who added me outside these forums just to keep track of the people who do sign in. Now if only we could categorize our friends list.

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

ever since the new update my ps3 randomly froze three times on different games. I had to reset my ps3 and hope that my saved data didn't get corrupted. This was on the 80GB ps3.
Also trophy support for gta4, I don't feel like playing the whole game again though

I tried it out yesterday. You can basically complete the tutorial and roam around everything within an hour and then have nothing to do. Since it's the beta the mall stores have nothing, didn't try out bowling or pool with any friend yet though.
Also seems like we can create a club but not sure if that actually works in the beta yet.
Game launching also is not available. All you can really do right now is chill.
I'm just glad I got my ps3 directly connected to my router now since everything loads so smoothly except of course when you first enter a room and it's loading all the profiles.

Also, I think if you get a score of 2000 in enchronome (spelled wrong) you get a special outfit that looks like a storm trooper minus the helmet.

I was speaking idiomatically.

ok after spending some time with home after a few more people got into the beta I can already see where this is going.
It's a public place for immature kiddies that like to make obvious sexual poses who want to hump every girl thats on the screen and those girls have no mics but when they do it's obviously a guy who put the voice pitch on high to try to sound like a man-she.
Also I was surprised to see the amount of people that do have mics, I'm even more surprised that it looks like some of the xbox kids slipped into it and annoy the crap out of you.
It's weird but I found it fun when it was emptier, when the real thing comes out I'm only looking forward to hanging out with people I know and those of you here on GFF.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Your able to log in now but you'll probably be annoyed when you keep getting signed out every 5 to 10 minutes.
Only major difference from the closed beta is that the plaza has been completely redone, and the new spaces for Fallout and Uncharted.

Also five dollars for the summer Home hahahahaha, Bull! (I got it for free though)

FELIPE NO

that comic is 100% accurate, especially the raping part. (I'm serious)

How ya doing, buddy?

Right now I'm not impressed at all.

same here, if anything these rooms like redbull will provide some entertaining minigames to kill time. But if I have to pay for a TV to watch streaming movies or listen to music with friends online then that will probably be the losing edge. They better come up with another form of payment for these imaginary product. Fake money for fake furniture sounds fair to me
