Well I finally got my 60gig unit on Monday which I've been playing around with these past 2 days and all in all I'm glad I dropped the cash.
Problem though: I can't get it to connect online. I'm no good at all this technical whatchamacallits and going by the "Easy" and "Automatic" setup yielded no success with just a "IP looking time out". I'm a Comcast high speed internet user and without a router and my modem in the other room I basically unplugged the ethernet cable between my PC and modem and then used a 25ft ethernet cable to connect the PS3 to the modem in the PC's place. So errr...any help would be greatly appreciated. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
you might have to reset the modem every time you switch between the pc and the ps3....
I would suggest you get router, or take your current cable modem back to comcast, and switch it for a cable modem/wireless router that they offer. FELIPE NO |
I dont know if this helps but...when my friend came over with his ps3, we tried it online at first and it didn't work. It was all hooked up, but the problem was, my cable modem connects with a usb connection...so the usb connection was still connected to the computer, and that caused I guess..a confusion with where the internet should be directed to? As soon as I took out the usb connection from the PC, the internet worked on the ps3 .
Hope thats what you're dealing with. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Strife is right. The modem assigns an IP each time it is turned on. So if you change the item without resetting it's not going to assign an IP to the PS3.
So you have to unplug it for 2-5minutes and then plug the modem back in with the ethernet cable already inserted in the desired device. Only way around this is to get a router which allows you to have both hooked up at the same time with no switching. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Every time I turn the PS3 on in my apartment, the wireless router has to reset itself. It's kinda weird cuz it affects the modem too. But I just give it a second and it works fine.
Does it on both wired and wireless connections. There's nowhere I can't reach. 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 |
I'll give it another try later and if it still doesn't work then I guess I'll look into getting a router and see if that helps. How ya doing, buddy? |
Hey, so rumors are going around about a new PS3 firmware 2.0 update that's supposedly going to be released soon.
It all started with the latest PSP 2.72 firmware update:
I'm a little skeptical about this because I know that if the PS3 is in sleep mode, then there is no network connection. But could a firmware update change this behavior? ANYWAYS. It looks like the 2.0 update may be coming very soon. In the comments of this ThreeSpeech blog post, it shows this -
EDIT: AND WHERE THE HELL IS MY HOT SHOTS GOLF 5? I have been anticipating that game for the longest time... I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

In-game XMB access would be about the greatest thing they could add at this point.
The 2.0 firmware is also supposed to mark another major cut in required system resources for the Playstation OS. Memory reservations in main memory will be cut in half and video memory by 3/4th of current. The OS will also not require one of the SPEs be reserved though the requirement that a game application be able to give up a SPE on request of the OS will still be required. This was mentioned a few months back so I don't know if they are still on track to introduce this in the 2.0 version, but these changes should eventually come along in a future update. How ya doing, buddy?

That would be nice. Then developers can get back to memory hoaring instead of optimizing their games.

Well I managed to finally get my PS3 online last night thanks to a router a friend at work let me borrow, of course he only tells me today that it's actually broken and only connects 1 device after I asked why my PC wasn't getting online...
Anyways as long as it works until I get my own router then I'm good especially with the Uncharted demo this Thursday. So all last night I basically pissed around setting up my PSN account and downloading various demos for the likes of Heavenly Sword, John Woo's Stranglehold and Ratchet & Clank. I just wish my local video store had more PS3 games instead of the 6 titles they have so then that way I wouldn't have to head out to the next town over to rent from Blockbuster. Has anyone seen the new PS3 commercials? Seems like there was 1 shown during every commercial break on FOX and during the Heroes reruns on G4. FELIPE NO |
yeah, the new commercials look pretty cool, and yes, they did run at least 1 per commercial break during both the episodes of family guy tonight.

PS3 2.00 Firmware Tomorrow
What the hell is this picture? Is this the 'information board'? Is it basically like an RSS feed for Sony news or something? Oh yeah. Uncharted demo tomorrow. Everybody check it out and then buy that game. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
The PSP has RSS support, so I would imagine the PS3 would too.
As for 2.0, definately not what it could have been. And because I have a hacked PSP the remote play update is no use to me. What a drag... Uncharted demo, give me a HOO-RA!! There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Information board, LoL. Oh, you mean this.
NO GAMES. 11/10/07 NO GAMES. 11/14/07 NEW BLU-RAY MOVIE. 11/21/07 NO GAMES. 11/21/07 The XMB customization should be aight. At least I'll be able to see the damn icons on my wallpaper now. I am still waiting for my Blu-ray screen-capture function, as well as 1:85 stretch. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Why is the remote play of no use? If you have the latest M-33 custom firmware with the 1.5 kernel, then it's the location free player that was removed - not the remote play feature.
And yeah, I can't fucking wait for that Uncharted demo. I have been anticipating that game for quite some time now. EDIT: Yeah, I can't see that Info Board being too...interesting, I guess. I'll just have to wait and see what it really does. How ya doing, buddy?

The auto-on feature requires your PSP to have 3.75. I don't know what version M-33 is currently at however, but my PSP most definately is not 3.75 M-33 which is what matters.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man.
All I'm sayin' is, if he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall. |
I don't know why the movies simply don't have a tag on them like the games. Really, what's up with that?
FELIPE NO |
Not exactly what I was referring to, but also, the new Spiderman blu-rays actually do have an image associated with them, rather than just the little blu-ray disc icon.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man.
All I'm sayin' is, if he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall. |
I've only had my ps3 for 2 weeks now, but I have a question... is there any way to see what your friends are playing online? I can see that they are online, but how do i know what they are playing so I can with them?
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
And FYI, 2.0 hit a bit early and is available right now. There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh? From the people I've added , it says "Tekken Dark Resurrection". I thought it was that. As for 2.0 , nothing special.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
It does say when someone is playing a PS3 game or downloading content, but that's it. It doesn't say anything when they're playing games off their HDD, PS2 games, or watching a movie.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I think it just plain signs you out when playing a PS2 game.
How ya doing, buddy? |
This could be cool. PS3 Theme Creator.
Granted, I have no artistic ability whatsoever, but hopefully other people will create some pretty unique and beautiful themes for all of us to use. Maybe they will start popping up on deviant art, or something.
AAAHHHHH UNCHARTED DEMO TODAY What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
