Re: Playstation Network and discussion

I agree, doesn't seem like it would be that hard to add either... here's hoping that they add in some more PSN functionality.

Again heres to hoping the March update is almost everything we want. I really expect to see much more PSN functionality. Or at least I hope so.

I'm rather impressed by all these updates by Sony so far. There are features they should have had going out the gate, but with time all that will be fixed. I'm glad to see that PS2 games now are finally working right.

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

Yeah, they're coming out in a VERY timely manner. They're trying to support the PS3, and do something at least. Now, I just can't wait for some games to drop.

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

So when I download this update and then pop in ncaa football 07, it's going to look better than before?

Will I have to change any settings in the game or will it just look better? It looks crappy right now on my 19 inch widescreen HD monitor. Lots of blurriness and jagged edges. It actually looked better on my SD TV.

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

If your using HDMI and a game is in 480i, will it correct the image though since HDMI doesn't accept 480i?

Originally I hated surfing because 1080p is so small now with this update, I can zoom in and out using the square button and L2 R2, and the browser is faster.

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

Sony is dishing out these patches left and right which is good news!

NFL2K5 looked better, as well as Smackdown HCTP. And awesome that we can now zoom!

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

ok... so my USB ports are screwed up. I did the update, after it completed it asked for me to connect the controller via the USB cable and press the PS button. Well, I did that... and it didnt recognize the controller. I've had issues with it sporadically but wasn't sure if it was in my head or an actual issue... tonight tells me its an actual issue.

I did some testing on it and it seems that only one of my USB ports even works partially. When I plugged up my USB hub, only one of the ports lit it up, the others didn't respond at all. When I try to plug my controller into this port, still nothing.

I suppose I'm lucky that it happened today because I can't remember if Walmart had a 30 or 90 day return policy on this item and my 30 day would be up on January 26.

Take it back and get a new system if you can.

Yeah... I definitely am. I'm hoping that they don't have any 20s in stock and they'll let me exchange it for a 60 at no additional cost or something (doubtful but who knows). I'm just sorta miffed at the whole thing... but oh well, it's not dyer.
