They come out weekly. And for clarification I am speaking about the update with the Playstation store, not firmware.

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

Oh, alright.. I was thinking another firmware update. Those things come out like mad as well.

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

Are any of you guys able to convert PS2 saves. If so I have one that I'd like for you to convert for me.

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

My bro just "accidently" won an auction for a PS3, 480 bucks shipped.

Now, we got it primarily as a Blu-Ray player but my bro said "Hey, might as well get a PS3 and have added functionality if I want it".

That said, what do I need to know about the PS3? To be honest, I haven't paid one bit of attention to PS3 news or system info due to my personal non-interest in its' purchase.

Lots of info in this thread I know, but if someone could give me the Cliff Notes, it would be much appreciated. Yes, it's 2:30am and I'm lazy. At least I'm admitting it

What info are you specifically looking for? I don't feel like doing unnecessary typing. I'm lazy too at least I admit it.

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

Info primarily pertaining to Blu-Ray. If it upconverts to 1080p...etc.

Basically anything that, as a PS3 gamer, I should know about.

Functionality issues, games to look out for, cables and accessories needed.

But nothing extensive.

And I'm not sure if this goes into this thread or the other one...so, maybe the discussion could be moved there if necessary.

What kind of HDTV do you have? If it's a 1080p set, Blu-ray will output 1080p and the games whatever their native resolution (mostly 720p...the PS3 doesn't scale games).

If you have a 1080i tube HDTV, the Blu-ray will be output at 1080i, but the 720p native games will be output at 480p (assuming your TV DOESN'T accept a 720p signal).

You will need an HDMI cable if you want (check Monoprice for cheap cables online), or a component cable (the PS2 cables work just fine).

As for games, most people will say the following: Resistance, Motorstorm, Ninja Gaiden, Oblivion, and MLB: The Show. I pretty much use my PS3 as a Blu-ray player and a PS2...though the updated graphics of 'Ninja Gaiden' are pretty sweet!

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

The TV the PS3 will be hooked up to is a 46" Sony Bravia XBR 3, so it does 1080p.

Thanks for the help JTS. Any other "must know details" that should be known? By this I mean possible hardware issues, etc.

The only thing I can think of with the XBR3 is to set your Blu-ray output to "YPbPr" in the settings and turn "Super White" to ON (have to download the latest firmware).
