Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

@BurghFan,
If you can't get those to work,I just recently picked up a PS3,and didn't want to pay a small fortune for a headset,so I picked these up at BestBuy.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketfish%26%23153%3B+-+Wired+Headset+for+PlayStation+3/9295915.p?id=1218076580946&skuId=9295915

I know what you must be thinking ...but for $20,I was quite surprised,and my friend said he could hear me "plain as day"....so no complaints from me.
If you're looking for a headset for "quiet time" gaming,then these of course won't work,but just wanted to let ya know about these.

Those look good. Just one question though. Can the mic be rotated around so that the earpiece can be worn on either ear? I ask because the picture shows the earpiece and mic on the left and I have no hearing in my left ear.

I have been hearing a popping/snapping noise in my slim PS3 lately...even when it's off. Sounds a bit like popcorn popping...I keep it on a wooden floor. Is this an issue?

Mine did that when it was new. I think I saw someone mention in another thread on here that it was the plastic casing expanding as the system heated up. Haven't noticed it much lately and I've never had any issues with it.

Yep....I just checked mine,and in the picture it does show it in the left ear,but you can move the mic around so the earpiece can be placed on your right ear.

Hot Links????

It's Knackwurst.

Both of mine still do it. That's what it is. The plastic casing expanding and retracting. One of my slims is an origanal launch model, and it doesn't affect anything at all.

LOL those hot dogs don't look like meat...

In any case, I hope my PS3 doesn't crap out because I cannot afford to have any problems with it right now.

I would argue they look much more like meat than actual hot dogs.

Lol me too. I don't think the bright red of a normal hotdog is very "normal" at all.

LOL! That is why I questioned those weird *** looking things.

LOL wow guys I guess I was far too general calling it a "hot dog cooker." The effect is the point.

Sony unleashes the Banhammer!

http://www.pcworld.com/article/219930/youre_banned_sony_kicks_ps3_users_off_playstation_network.html

Sick-em Sony

It looks like Sony's making good on a promise to ban PS3 users who've hacked or elected to run unauthorized software on their consoles. Members of hacking site PS3Hax claim Sony's already wielding its banhammer against "jailbroken" PS3s, knocking the consoles off the company's PlayStation Network permanently.
Sony's initial warning, emailed to an offending user's PSN email address, allegedly reads as follows:
"A circumvention device and/or unauthorized or pirated software currently resides on your PlayStation(R)3 system. Immediately cease use and remove all circumvention devices and delete all unauthorized or pirated software from your PlayStation(R)3 system. Failure to do so will result in termination of your access to the PlayStation(R)Network and access to Qriocity(TM) services through your PlayStation(R)3 system."

Legitimate!

(I would've put "legit" but that wasn't ten characters long... now that I've explained it, this post is much more than ten characters)

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

I just got the YLOD for the VERY first time!!!!


I've been doing a little research the past hour, because my console just SHUT-OFF in mid-game...

I'm not gonna take it apart and fix it, so I am just gonna go out and buy another one....is the SLIM the way to go?? Do they NOT overheat? I don't want this to happen again, as I don't feel like dropping all this cash.

So, I guess I have 2 questions.

1. Is purchasing a new SLIM the best route to take??

2. Since I didn't back up my files, is there any way to get my saved files?

Yes get the slim. They last much longer and normally don't have problems. As for your saves you are pretty much out of luck. Unless you can fix it.


Do you really care where I sent this from?
