The Wii has the ability to access things via USB. However, the Wii must be programmed to recognize whatever is plugged into the USB. It's planned that in the future via a firmware update that the Wii could recognize external harddrives via USB. However, if this means any external harddrive or specialized harddrives sold only by Nintendo remains to be seen. It also remains to be seen how far an extent the SD card port can be used as that will be the most abused feature I can foresee. At least for now. How ya doing, buddy? |
I asked this a few pages back, but it got lost in the Metallic image spam
Like Slayer, I'm going to be using HDMI->DVI for my PS3 connection since I've got a nice 20" wide Dell monitor. However, does anyone know of a (relatively) cheap solution to be able to plug both my computer and the PS3 into the monitor at once and be able to switch between them without the massive unscrewing requierd for DVI connections? One solution I have is to take a cut in monitor clarity and just use the VGA connector for my monitor... But ideally that's not the best solution. There's a box out there that can do this, but it's designed for being able to control two computers at once with one monitor and keyboard & mouse, rather than just being a switchbox for DVI inputs. --- And another, unrelated question: Has anyone checked out their local Best Buys for PS3 kiosks yet? They were supposedly rolled out yesterday the 20th, but I hadn't heard any big fangasm about them since the allegedly false PS3 fanboy lineup from earlier in the week. I was going to check it out today, but wanted to check with other folks first before depleting a chunk of my day What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Use an DVI to HDMI cable to go from your computer to your monitor, and have that go into an HDMI switchbox. PC (DVI to HDMI cable) -> HDMI switchbox Now, have the PS3 go into the switchbox with a regular HDMI cable: PS3 (HDMI cable) -> HDMI switchbox Now, you're going to need an adapter to connect your computer's DVI cable to the HDMI box, unless it's removable and you can simply get an HDMI to DVI cable, or vice versa. Here's a switchbox: http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...ormat=2&style= HDMI cable: http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...ormat=2&style= DVI to HDMI cable: http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...ormat=2&style=

Yeah. Get a DVI male to female cord and just plug the cable you want in at easy reach access.
Double Post: Oh Metal, have you seen a switch box like that does the opposite. I want one that takes one input and switches between 2 outputs. I have two displays and would like to switch to both of them on the fly. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Edit: Err, I think I found one: http://sewelldirect.com/gefen2x2hdmiswitch.asp Problem is, that thing is expensive. Well, HDMI switchers with more than one output are expensive, just to clarify. Playstation 3 XMB Walkthrough Spoiler:

Male to female cord seems to be the best option in this case I think The switchbox is on backorder, dunno if it would get back in stock by release. Male-female option is also a bucketload cheaper, though of course still requires screwing in the cable. But it beats dealing with the back of the monitor.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Looks like getting a faster/larger HDD is inevitable if you want to get a few of your games loading faster. Phil Harrison has confirmed that demos, trailers, updates and some other downloadables will be free of charge.

Perhaps this was mentioned somewhere else. But allowing you to install the game, wouldn't that make it easier for people to rent it, install it, and then play the game whenever you want afterwards. This ultimatly taking away from game ssales. Or does Sony have a plan in motion like game ID#s to stop this from happening?

IIRC, this is basically HDD caching. I was speaking idiomatically. The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even. |

HDD caching is something that Namco Bandai did right with Tekken: Dark Resurrection for the PSP, if I'm not mistaken. You still need the UMD, but it caches to the memory stick and has virtually no load times.
That's a great feature for the PS3 though, and certainly incentive to find a cheap 80GB or so that'll fit the PS3. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? Reading -- Bleach, Claymore, Chun Rhang Yhur Jhun, NOW, Zero: Beginning of the Coffin, Black God, Twelve Kingdoms (novels), History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi Watching -- Bleach Playing -- Fable II, Valkyria Chronicles, Guitar Hero: World Tour, Star Ocean: First Departure, LittleBigPlanet, MegaMan 9, Mirror's Edge |
Oh, ok. I know what caching is, it was just when I quickly read over Metal's post it sounded like it was installing the whole game to the HDD. Thanks for correcting me there.

Here's some PS3 gameplay demonstration for a few games done during Gamer's Day.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance:http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...14279&type=wmv Gran Turismo HS: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...14273&type=wmv Call of Duty 3: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...14267&type=wmv EDIT: Links edited so that you don't watch the same thing twice. There's also a Full Auto 2 demonstration at the site too, however I am waiting for the HD video (coming soon) before posting a link. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Fight Night and Icon videos are posted above, Slayer. Downloading the Marvel Alliance, GTHD and Call of Duty videos now.

Can we PLEASE start putting the images in spoiler tags. I know it doesn't save bandwith, but it's annoying as hell to scroll through every single one every time I check this thread out.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Wouldn't it be a hassle for those who want to see the images, to click the spoiler tags all the way down a page, even if it's just to view them once? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even. |
I guess, but I think most people only view them once or twice. I only view them once, and every other time I check the thread it's just scrolling through all the madness. It's only one click to show them, and scrolling through them all makes it hard for me to find the newest post, which is far more inconvienent then just clicking a couple times to see some images.

For those of you interested in GT5, here's a repost of the GT:HD video linked to by Slayer as well as the TGS presentation of GT:HD/Premium by Kazunori Yamauchi. It's subtitled, so no worries.
GT:HD video (The Lotus Elise in this game looks gorgeous. I can't believe we have to wait until 2008 for GT5 proper. TGS GT:HD/Premium presentation Edit: Ah, more goodies for you GT fans out there. Logitech's got a new steering wheel launching with the PS3 in Japan. While a U.S. release date hasn't been announced, I'm sure there will be one soon after it hits the Japanese market.
In other news, downloading HD videos really does a number on my internet connection. There's nowhere I can't reach. The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even.

Those MotorStorm vids are nice, I think I'm finally convinced to get it now. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

I think they forgot how shadows work though. The race track environment doesnt affect the lighting on the car =( Sure photorealistic mountains but I think I'd rather have shadows that are darkening the road you're driving on actually darken the car when it drives through them. It looks so weird. =/ I was speaking idiomatically. |
