[PS3] PlayStation 3 Discussion Thread

Ok so the 1.51 update was released today, it fixes some blu-ray issues and backwards compatibility.

Before me updating today I had KH2 inside my PS3 so as the game loaded the game was off by like 2 or 3 inches. I did upgrade to 1.5 first and the game was fine and then the next time I turn it on its off by 2 inches, I update and it looks fine again...weird.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That was a problem with the 1.5 upgrade. Scroll up a little bit and you'll see that I and another member had the same issue.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yea I read that but I thought it was just you since it wasnt an issue for me at first.

FELIPE NO

not sure if this has been answered already, but has anyone tried installing windows on the ps3? i'm thinking about connecting my external hdd on the ps3 so i can watch some movies on the tv instead, and seeing as how some of the movies i have on my hdd require certain codec, ps3 wont be able to play them back unless i install windows on it.
... or is it even worth installing another os onto the ps3?

Most amazing jew boots

Um can you install windows on it? The drivers for external OS are all Unix code are they not?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Uhh there was some hack or some sort released where window XP can be run on the PS3 but I was reading how horrible it is. I'm not sure if they meant horrible as being compared to windows being installed on a PC or horrible compared to Yellow Dog being installed on it. I'm not sure how you install windows xp on it but it's possible I think theres an article on joystiq.com about it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

or hmmmm.. has anyone installed yellow dog onto ps3 and liked it? I just want to watch my movies from my external hdd on my hdtv instead of hooking up my desktop on there. Althought its not like i really need to, but more like what else i can get out of my ps3

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

I want to know the same, is it worth installing it? If I do, will I be able to install divx or some thing?

How ya doing, buddy?

This is the only thing that I could find about XP on PS3 http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/t...running-on-ps3.

You still need linux installed first in order to operate with the unix firmware of the PS3 hardware. After that you can use a Linux Windows emulation kernel to operate XP within the Unix enviroment. Beyond that I don't know the specifics as to how they did it or what all you can do with it. But there you have it, Windows on a PS3.

So erm, no one actually managed to get an external USB harddrive to work directly on their PS3, did they?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Not that I know of. I tried hooking mine up, but it didn't register. I think people are on the verge of finding a way to crack this, and I hope they do it soon; SATA hard drives are much cheaper than the ones for laptops.

VF5 has been getting rave reviews, but I'm still not sure if I'll be buying it day one or not. Like I mentioned before, I wasn't very good in VF4, and the lack of a story mode really turned me off. Not sure if I should save my dough for March, which is going to be jam packed with quality titles.

Oh, and OPM UK confirmed that Bioshock is coming for the PS3. It was always hinted, but never actually confirmed, so this is certainly good news. I've been very interested in this game since the IGN trailer.

FELIPE NO

anyone having trouble loggin into PSN network? I can't get my master account to sign in at all, yet i created a sub-account and it logged in fine.

Also i wouldn't trust a OPM UK magazine over say Microsoft who have stated on numerous times that Bioshock is 360 exclusive.

As two months ago, IGN and Gamespot had a PS3 page for Bioshock, but since them both of those pages have dissapeared and on the offical website, it only has the PC and 360 logo. Microsoft is most likely going to throw as much money as they can to keep it exclusive sorta like what they are doing with Dead Rising. Bioshock for PS3 is nothing more then petty speculation.

I personally don't care as i own all 3 systems and am a strong beliver that games play the best on the system they were originally developed on.

How ya doing, buddy?

well a demo of full auto 2, just pop in the playstation store. I wasn't sure to buy it, so I'll give the demo a try (downloading it now)

oh and there a new psone game: destruction derby, I'm not sure to buy it. I did enjoy it but I don't remember if it's this version or the n64 one I played before XD

I almost jump out of my seat when I saw flow in the pstore just to see it's only a video I don't remember but when is this suppose to come out?

and I want Tekken DR ; ;

Jam it back in, in the dark.

flOw. Q*Bert. Playstation Store. February 22. A useful PS3. 6 days.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Don't forget Tekken: DR. It's out on the 26th.

And speaking of Tekken....

jesus. next-gen abs right there.

Nice.

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

God, why are they releasing all these God awfull ps1 games on the network? Release some good games where I'll find worth buying.

I just saw some videos of Armored Core 4 or w/e the new one is, well it looks good. I know it's comming for the 360 aswell, but I might get this one for the PS3 since I dont have any PS3 games. This is the first time I've checked the game, I've never played any of the other Armored Core games or even bothered to see how it is or what it even is, but yea they seem nice.

Most amazing jew boots

It may be worth while for you to watch the video preview GameTrailers.com has on AC4 if you're interested.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yea I just saw the preview video, the game is looking good. I'm not into the whole mecha thing tho, but I'm really interested in this game.

Oh does any know if FEAR for the PS3 has some exlusive feature that the 360 doesnt? I saw a video it said some thing about some exclusive thing but it didnt talk much about it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Probably just some extra MP maps and hopefully a re-worked multiplayer mode altogether. Perhaps even decent grapgics, because the 360 one looked like shit compared to PC. And my PC is almost 4 years old.

Sony never fails to disappoint its customers.

Translation: "We don't care about you stupid Europeans so we put out the PS+PS2 hardware in order to save production costs although the console costs still the same."

Yay. It's good to be a European, isn't it? I hate Sony so much right now.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm glad I'm not European. Sucks for you guys. Although, eventually, you'll be able to play all your games. Eventually.

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

they only put out the hardware emulation >.>the software emulation is still there, it was Sony intention from first time to be able to play ps2 and ps1 games without having to put the ps2 hardware in the ps3. For now it may look like European ps3 will lack in the backward compatibility but I'm pretty sure some firmware update will be able to clear that out. Maybe even the first generation of ps3 will have an update later to play those games without using the ps2 hardware in it.

Most amazing jew boots

You'd think they could actually make the PS3 a bit smaller if they went all the way to dispose of the PS/PS2 hardware. But I guess the hardware wasn't all that big to begin with...

How ya doing, buddy?
