I laugh at these patents. People/companies will get these patents even though they never had an intention to put them into action. We were talking about patents at work last month and how people puposely take these out hoping for someone to make money off of them only to turn around and sue for damages.

There is no way they will win but you have to figure Sony might give them something to shut the case... than again you never know.I laugh at these patents.

PS3 tuning into digital TV?
Unlike other consoles, the PlayStation 3 is "future-proofed," Sony New Zealand executive Warwick Light has boasted to The Press.
Sony Computer Entertainment New Zealand's head of marketing told the newspaper that the company had many different plans to make sure that the machine lasted well into the next generation.
Light made digs at both Nintendo and Microsoft, saying of the former that it had freely admitted the Wii was not a next-generation machine, and of the latter that, "look at the tangible differences between processing power and scope for scalability between the PS3 and the Xbox 360, it is clear that the PS3 is designed to last until the next generation...DVD is current generation. Why would you support current generation?"
The executive also revealed that Sony aims to turn the PS3 into a personal video recorder. "We're also hoping next year--about the same time that Freeview launches its terrestrial broadcasting service [in New Zealand, expected to be in March]--to release a digital tuner for the PS3, turning it into a programmable TV recorder," said Light.
Freeview is a digital terrestrial television provider based in the UK, which allows owners of a set-top box connected to their TV or a Freeview-enabled television to access a variety of extra channels and digital radio stations for no monthly fee.
A PS3 with PVR functionality would mark Sony's second attempt to give a console TiVo-esque functions. In 2004, the company released a PVR-equipped version of the PlayStation 2, the PSX, in Japan to dismal sales. It was discontinued in early 2005.
Though Nintendo has repeatedly said the Wii won't have any nongame video playback functionality, Microsoft is already competing against Sony in the sector. Currently, Xbox Live Marketplace offers a variety of TV shows for purchase and films for rent, and will purportedly be getting IPTV functionality in the future.
More and more this is turning into a entertainment console then a video game console.Comment

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part II
Resistance is actually the first game to feature an in-game XMB Friends list. You can view your friends, send and read messages directly from the online menu of the game. So we at least know that it is possible, just a matter of getting it done.As of now, I'm pretty sure you can't. It's supposed to be addressed in a future firmware update.
I'm sure they're running into problems implementing it though with pre-existing games as I'm sure we would've seen it already. Sony continues to amaze me with the frequency of their firmware updates.Comment

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part II
I had this question in another thread.....
PS3 technical question.......
I'm going to purchase a micro sd card for my cell phone. Will this also work with my PS3 in the "sd" slot on the playstation ???
Obviously i will have to use the adapter. But the micro sd (plus the adapter) will fit into the ps3 allowing me to transfer pics/videos and songs stored on my ps3 to my cell phone ??Comment

Is it true the ps3 has a feature that if it gets to hot it will automatically shutdown preventing overheating?Last edited by Dr.J; 08-03-2007, 09:20 PM."Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successfull personality and duplicate it. "

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part II
Well, to be fair, it was already cracked (I must have dropped it or something), so I just finished the job. But it never should have been 'cracked' to begin with. I mean, WTF? I've seen cardboard that was more durable. I'm pretty pissed. Not like these things are twenty bucks anymore like they were for the PS2.I am become death
