That looked awesome, though since it's not a ps3 exclusive it should really go in its own thread.

I also played the brutal legend demo, which was slightly amusing... I don't think I'd spend $50 for that game but it was ok.
Wow did anyone go those spam mail on saying something like PSN doing pay online for games effective 1-12-10? Well it was false. And another thing, PS3 Media center isn't that good. The best one is ps3 media server, your actually able to play some MKV and Xvid-HD files.

That's what I installed. I was able to play some mkv's. played a bunch of stuff to see how it played and it ran good considering it was over my wireless connection.

God of War III: Ultimate Edition
$100
it would be great to do the god of war 3 release along w\ the HD 1+2 pack they're putting out here in november.
But I guess they can advertise 3 along w\ the remastered 1 and 2 that you could buy here in a couple weeks.
I Finally got an HDMI switch for my tv ( only has 1 hdmi port ) and it's great... It automatically switches to the ps3 when I turn it on and back to my dvr when I turn it off.
Yeah, that's pretty much what they're doing, because the God of War Collection comes with a demo for God of War III. I can't wait to get my hands on it and try it out. 11/17 can't some soon enough.Quote:

PS3 System Software Update – 3.15
---
Tomorrow December 15th, Amazon.com will be doing an all PS3 Gold Box sale.
But wouldn't that be affected by the region of your account?
Im under the impression that if I had funds on my Japanese PSN account I could buy stuff from there.
Heck... I have 3 accounts. An American, one from Europe and a Japanese one. I can get the free demos from all 3, but have only bought from the American one, which is a pain since I have to import a PSN Card.
Yeah, you can buy games and stuff from other PSN stores, but DLC won't work on another region's game. Like if you have the US Version of Rock Band, you can't use songs from the EU PSN on it, because it's region coded.
That I do agree. But if you imported a Japanese PS3 to use American games it would be no problem to get the American DLC, right?
Its just that Ryll's post on not all being region free wasn't very especific.
DLC and Blu-ray are affected by region, the rest works fine.
The Japanese Blu-Ray Region is the same one as the American one.
Hence my question of why Ryll says importing one would not help him (besides the DVD's and PSone games)
I wasn't specific at the time because I couldn't be. I don't own a PS3, so it really came down to a quick 10 minute google search. Between the discussion here and some additional research, maybe this will be more enlightening:Quote:

Of course, this is coming from someone who doesn't own a PS3, and where Microsoft has been considerably more aggressive in getting exclusive or timed-exclusive DLC. I'm expecting Sony to respond in turn. It may be that it is not as prominent on PSN as it is on XBL, without owning one I'm not qualified to answer that. Still, if the past year or two have been any indication, DLC is only going to increase dramatically for both consoles, and this generation will be a lot longer for both Sony and Microsoft. The two each have peripherals intended to close the gap with the Wii, if not surpass it, in order to extend the cycle further.
So while it might not seem like a big deal given that one can always import PSN cards, it might just be more of a hassle than it is worth, similar to what you said RZ. There is only going to be more DLC in the coming years. Independent of the two manufacturers, it is going to be Activision and EA pushing for more the hardest. Indie developers too.
DLC might be the only thing region locked, but I think you might be downplaying the importance of that in the coming year or two.
Maybe Im not explaining myself... or maybe I am getting confused myself but...
How is DLC region-locked? Why would you not be able to download stuff from the American Store if you own a Japanese Console? The DLC is directly linked to your PSN Account and not the console. Or am I wrong here?
Currently I have 5 dollars on my American PSN account. I also have an European and Japanese Account, and correct me if Im wrong, but if I owned an European or Japanese PSN Card I would be able to download from those accounts as well.
Am I wrong? If so please do tell. For I still can't see the issue regarding DLC.
For instance... if you owned an American game why would you try to get a DLC from the Japanese store if the same content is available on the American store? Or if you owned a Japanese game, why would you try the American or European store for DLC.
Like I said... Im confused here Ryll.
I believe he's talking about stand alone DLC, not used for games.

Yeah, it's pretty necessary. I have a Japan, Asia, and US account as well.
I have 5 PSN accounts. US, Japan, Europe, Hong Kong (for Battle Fantasia Demo), & and Austria (for free Wipeout HD).

I just wish I had some yens in my Japanese Account to download the Demon's Souls Premium Theme.
And since the PSN accounts are free... well... if Marik tells me the Wipeout HD game is still free in Austria I'll be opening a new account.
Nah, its not free any more. There was a promotion going on back in March, where you had to create a Austrian PSN account between March 16th & April 18th and they would send you a code for Wipeout HD.

Funny that we get PS3 tv spots and all that here in Mexico, but we can't buy things from the store. Lame.
Just received my cashback PS3 (from a supplier).
Did the setup, I'm updating it to 3.15
I was sure it would be noisy, and it is by my standards (I use my iphone to the lowest possible volume to listen to music for example...)
It was to sit in my bedroom, to record TV, TV recording playback, lightweight media center and blu-ray player.
I'll just have to put it in the room next to the bedroom and only route the hdmi from there. no big deal and the BT remote should do the trick.
The sound isn't that strong, although its not nighttime yet when the noise floor is a lot lower.
But it's ratling a bit, with lots of unpleasant harmonics that make it very noticeable.
The idea is that for a night recording (via playTV), the ps3 switched on will probably prevent me from sleeping if in the bedroom.
I know that may seem dumb or not that interresting, but since the lightweight/TVrecording/BR media center will probably be 98% of the use I'll have with that PS3, it's of the utmost importance to me.
Not at all, to me anyway. Is this the PS3 slim? Or the fat? Because from what I've heard, acoustically the slim is a bit improvement.Quote:

There's great potential, HDMI CEC even works with my Panasonic screen, meaning you can use the PS3 with the screen's remote, which is great for my wife.
However, I wish they do not clutter XMB anymore as it seems there are lots of icons, most of which could be under the same section/icon. I think of all the PSN related stuff for example.
They should also pay attention to things they add like Life with Playstation and language localisation...
I'll wait for a bit before trying the videostore, prices are way too high, as I can have the same level of service for less (2.99€ for SD films, 3.99 for HD -renting- and buying titles is beetween 1 to 5€ or more expensive than actually buying the BR disc...)
I might at least subscribe for a PSN account if it does not force me to input my credit card data... like the applestore (although there was/is a solution)
Next thing is playTV, should buy it in the days to come.
Also, I wonder if the usb port can be powered when the PS3 is in sleep mode, so that it keeps charging the game controler. I have another solution working, but it would be a better idea to use the PS3s ports.
From magicbox:
iPhone hacker George Hotz "Geohot" has released the exploit code to hack the PS3 hardware. The exploit will give user full memory access and complete control over the processor, on PS3 running Firmware 2.4.2. He said the exploit should also work on all current versions.
Not sure if I want my PS3 games to be pirated :(
Not sure if true, but the exploit apparently needs the 'otherOS' functionality.Quote:

It was announced at E3 and it launched today. So far the features are lackluster and I won't pay for it. (I already have an XBL subscription). Maybe if the offers they featured were better, and they seem to rotate new stuff every month or something I would think about it.
Oh yea, for early buyers who buy a year they get 3 months free. Your mileage may vary.
C'mon now, really? All he does is tinker with shit and make it possible for other people to tinker with shit. It's not like he creates bombs and turns out suicide bombers like hoes. I mean... I'll tell you who needs to be shot: Rush Limbaugh. Talk about a guy who's allowed to run rampant with freedom of speech and freedom of thought. If ever there existed a guy who made a case for 1984 big brother type shit in a weird, twisted, ironic way, it's Rush Limbaugh.

I'm definitely getting Dead Nation. I can't decide between InFamous and Little Big Planet... recommendations guys?Quote:
After the PlayStation Store goes back online, all PlayStation Network customers can select two PlayStation 3 games from the following list to keep forever:
Dead Nation
inFAMOUS
LittleBigPlanet
Super Stardust HD
Wipeout HD + Fury
PSP owners can select two of the following titles:
LittleBigPlanet (PSP)
ModNation Racers
Pursuit Force
Killzone Liberation
we are getting ratchet and clack instead of superstardust...I'd say get lbp if you are a multiplayer kinda of guy, infamous if you enjoy the single player experience more.
Well, since I mostly play RPG... I would say I prefer single player. So far InFamous seems more interesting. I'll think about it.
I confused though... my main account is an American one... but I do have a Japanese and European account... would those account also apply for the Welcome back kits?
I have almost beaten inFamous, but it was still a really fun game. I am curious about dead nation and LBP. I am kind of on the fence. I would like to do more multiplayer, but I don't really have many people to play with.
i'm grabbing the LBP and the InFamous
Managed to grab:
Dead nation
LBP
Super stardust
locoroco
the last guy
ratchet and clank
and WipeoutHD
...and I still have one choice left....thanks sony ;P.
The asian region free game selection sucks so much. Thankfully I have a US account. Got Wipeout and inFamous.
Can you tell me how much each game takes from the HDD? I've only downloaded Dead Nation so far.Quote:

wipeoutHD, ~1.8gb
locoroco and the last guy are both small like super stardust
infamous is ~7gb
Got Dead Nation and Infamous. Are you able to get more games for free in other regions??
If you have multiple ps3 accounts (created before April 20, 2011), you can get 2 games for each account.
Thanks. I think I'll get LBP... still can't decide about Infamous. The others don't interest me much.Quote:

I upgraded the HDD when it was last full (40GB). It hasn't been full since (limit:500GB)
You know, that dead nation game is kind of fun.
It is. I stopped at 1st level though since I started playing Little Big Planet.
@Marik:
I was under the impression those 3 arrested lamers were being investigated since last october.
The last level is insanity, I was doing it on coop and my friend died at the last wave...shit became intense as hell, seriously time well spent.
Best Buy has a coupon that gives you a $100 gift card with the purchase a PS3. The coupon is only supposed to work on the normal sku, but I went there today and got the Black Ops Bundle and the $100 gift card. I chose inFAMOUS and Wipeout HD as my free games.

3) Don't leave it running if you can avoid it, let it take breaks and cool back down to ambient.
4) Ideally, horizontal is better (superior cool-air intake), but if you do that, again, make sure it is on a hard surface. Anything else will work as an insulator. If you want to keep it extra cool, put it on a wire baking rack, or a laptop cooling-fan rack.
Giving it room to breathe is really the only key. You can't stop the dvd drive from failing though...
That really sucks.Quote:

What Bill said. Apparently the only way to backup to a PC is through the backup tool inside the PS3... which you need to have it running... on the original console since placing the hdd on another console requieres reformating the disc.
Damn it...
That is rough man, How long have you had it?
Bought it in 2008.Quote:

If you have the Phat version: well good news then, as opposed to the bad.. A YLOD is pretty easy to fix (read temporarily) so getting your save games is highly possible.Quote:

I don't know if you're a little tech-savvy and willing to try and fix it yourself. The things you'd need to do that are a philips screw driver, a torx, a heat gun, some isopropyl alcohol, some thermal paste, possibly some no-clean lead-free solder flux (pen form) and finally gilksy's guide to fixing YLOD.
The alternative would be finding someone near you experienced in fixing this against payment.
Good luck!
I did find a guide that uses those tools you just recommended Killa-Eyez. Unfortunately I don't have neither the experience nor confidence to try it myself. A co-worker said he may be able to do it, but since he has never opened a PS3 before he said he wasn't conficent either.
On other news, I found a place that can fix it and will charge me about 100 dollar (ugh). If I didn't want the save files I would say screw it... but since its a BC unit... all, and I mean ALL, my PS1, PS2 and PS3 saves are in there... so I need to get them. It hurts to pay that much (specially since a new unit is 300~350 depending on the hdd) but the save files are a must...
I also heard the solution isn't permanent, so I'm considering getting a Slim after I manage to back up the files. Plus I'm going to take Marik's route and getting PlayStation Plus to be on the safe side.
What are the adverse effects of stuffing up that guide? I mean, if all that results is "did not work", then you can just have the coworker look at it for you.. and only if it didn't work, have someone else fix it for you for money.
Well... the guide requieres you to heat several parts of the motherboard. I think that screwing that part equals killing it for good.
I've done it the first time without any experience in fixing PS3's. I do have some technical background and my friend didn't have anything to lose, it was broken anyway. The heating procedure is only to get the solder hot enough, the components can withstand that. It is of the outmost importance you do not move it when reflowing or afterwards for another 10 to 15 min. If you do, parts might shift again or even come off. It's all in the guide. If you follow it there's no problem.
The only co-worker I know that had a technical background didn't seem confident enough so I ended leaving the PS3 at the repair shop I found. They told me to phone today after 16:00 to check on it. I plan to backup immediately and use it again until it breaks (with periodical backups). Afterwards I may end up buying a slim.
Anyway, thanks for the inputs Killa-Eyez!
My PS3 lives again!
The 1st thing I wanted to do was to Backup the disc in case it died on me again, but it seems I need to format my external HDD to FAT32 firsthand... yet that would mean I need to back up around 300~400GB first... and there is no way in hell I will do so.
Will probably buy a PSN plus subscription though.
I have been looking around for a second controller and saw this just now. It's a new Fight Pad for the PS3, made by Hori and it's going to be released on August 26 for the sum of $34.99. The shape kinda reminds me of the Marvel PDP pad for the Xbox 360.

PS3 System Software Update (v3.70)
I can't wait for this to be released. Automatic cloud saving and automatic trophy synching. :)

To make things easier for PlayStation Plus subscribers, we’ve added the option to automate two existing features. The [Automatic Download] feature will now be called [Automatic Update] as a result of these new options.
A new auto upload function for online save data back-up will be added to make it easier to back-up your game save data. Under (Game), select the game for which you want to automatically upload saved data, and then press the Triangle button.
Also, Trophies will now sync automatically at the timing of Auto Download.
The Japanese update also included the functionality for the PSP remasters.
Really hate my PS3. I bought the first gen 80GB PS3 since it was backwards compatible with PSone and PS2 games. Plays PSone games flawlessly but PS2 games are only 80 % compatible. 20 % play flawlessly and the other 80 % play for an hour and then freeze. Glad I kept my old PS2 system.
Sony always releasing broken failed systems since the beginning. :(
Why didn't you replace it when you had the chance? My PS3 has partial backwards compability and so far of all my library of games only 2 were unplayable. Ar Tonelico II didn't even start and Yakuza froze on Chapter 8. Yakuza was never fixed, but a patch from Sony allowed ATII to be playable.Quote:

Did anyone else receive a message on their PS3 about a Home Private Beta? I clicked the attachment in the message and it led me to the Playstation Store, but I didn't have to download anything.
Edit: Hrmm, just found this on the Playstation forum.
