You have a chance if you get through the submission form, just not very much of one. Same for me. Except I got through the submission form before I went to work.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah I'm not going to even try. Hopefully someone will find some kind of hack like they did with the Warhawk beta...

lol I'm writing this from my PS3, and christ it takes forever to type...

FELIPE NO

There's enough games coming out to keep me busy until the real game comes out so I'dd just wait till MGS:PO+ comes out to play it online

Ok guys, I've a question.

I'm going to buy a Ps3 next week and I'll be also buying a widescreen monitor (probably 22').

The problem is that most of the monitors that I've seen don't have HDMI input, but they have DVI with HDMI support.

Is there a big resolution difference between the two? I've seen HDMI to DVI adapters for Ps3, but if it looses too much resolution or quality maybe it's not worth it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Video-wise, HDMI and DVI are identical.

Problem is, some displays run into problems when DVI is translated to HDMI.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well the PS3's HDMI has HDCP copy protection in it, so if you get a monitor, make sure it has HDCP support, otherwise you'll only get a black screen when you set it all up.

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

So, as long as the monitor has DVI with HDMI support it'll be ok, right? Thanks for the info.

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

A monitor with HDCP, not HDMI.

Doesn't matter if the monitor has HDMI or just DVI wither way it NEEDS the -> HDCP <- copy protection support.

Does HDCP even matter for anything aside from Blu-Ray movies that actually require HDCP for a full-resolution output (which from what I can tell, none of them do yet)? My understanding was that the PS3 doesn't limit you from using it on a non-HDCP set regardless of the connection. Wouldn't really make sense to restrict HDMI output to HDCP devices when even component connections aren't limited in any way, although admitedly I could be wrong about that.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

you need a TV or monitor that support HDCP because if you don't, all you get is a black screen.

I tried with my computer monitor and it didn't worked :\

FELIPE NO

Did you try it with component (RGB) cables or HDMI/DVI? The digital signal will not work, but if you connect component cables to your monitor, you should still be able to run the PS3 on it, albeit with a maximum resolution of 720p.

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

I tried it with the HDMI/DVI.

my PC monitor doesn't have the component input though...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You guys saved me from making a big mistake. The ones that I've seen didn't have HDCP support. I'll start searching for one that it has. Thanks everyone.

well like quazy said, you can use your ps3 with component cable and enjoy the 720p HD resolution on a TV that don't support HDCP.

when you need to check for HCDP TV is when you want to use the HDMI output.

Lair - August 14th

Quote:

Given all the content and interest here on Lair, I figured you guys would also be interested to hear that the North American version of Lair has completed its development and is now in manufacturing! That means that we are on track for our August 14 release date. It goes without saying that we’re eager to get this out to those of you that have been waiting so patiently (or not!) for it to arrive. Considering the new PS3 price and now Lair, hopefully there’s even more of a reason to scoop up a PS3 if you haven’t already!

I really don't know what to think of this game. I know some people on these forums have been saying it's incredible, but for some reason I'm just a little uncertain. Whatever happened to that demo that was supposed to come out like 2 weeks ago?

LAIR and HS demos BOTH this week!!

I hope... lol

I was speaking idiomatically.

for anyone who cares, heavenly sword's demo is in store now ^^

I'm downloading it but god it's slow XD

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Heavenly Sword is worthless. Can someone tell me why the demo is 2 minutes. It's also cool how there isn't a block button, when ten guys jump you at once.

It's just an unpolished God of War.

Because it's a demo.

Ummmm... you do know that there are three stances right Megalith? Also between thoes stances you can do parry and counter moves, who the hell needs block.

P.S.
Devil May Cry doesn't have a block either. Which therefore makes HS more like a DMC game then a GoW game. It doesn't simply make it bad. (However I do have yet to play the demo) Lastly this is the Gamer's Day demo, NOT the E3 '07 demo, therefore if you read a lot of game site's opinions on the two, you'll see that they all agree that the E3 '07 demo was WAY better, and definately a LOT more completed

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ooof. Playing with the thought of whether I should get a PS3 now or not. The 60 gig is the last model with the Emotion chip installed, meaning future PS3s will be inferior and not nearly as backwards-capable.

Would ya'll recommend I spend the cash just to have it? The main thing holding me back is the fact that there'll probably be a PSP2 and that'll probably homebrew PS2 games as nicely as the PSP does for PS1. I've got the cash, easy, but that's still a hefty cash just to "have" a system :U

How ya doing, buddy?

Incidentally, Cheapass Gamer had a special up recently on overstock.com for Lair at $38.xx. A few people said they weren't going to pick it up because they wanted to wait for reviews.

I'm kinda in the same position. I like how it looks, but I wasn't as big a fan as other people of the Rogue Squadron games, so I'm wondering how well the gameplay will turn out.

The EE is essentially obsolete in the PS3. I think software emulation will take over, when they try to advance the scaling and texture mapping of PS1/2 titles.

Thank god I don't have an ugly ass chrome stripe on my PS3.

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

Well, I've heard gripes about the software emulation on the 360 being very glitchy/clumsy, so I was concerned if the PS3 would tread down the same path... With only Barbie games being backwards capable =o

How ya doing, buddy?
