Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Seems my PSN friends list is all f'ed up now - anybody else having this problem?

Prior to the last update, it was always alphabetical (for those that were "online").

Maybe pressing Square will change the sorting options? Not sure.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

quick question - may buy PS3 today - any specs needed on an HDMI cable for it? Or should the cheapest one I can find at KMart work just fine? I know they can be found dirt cheap online but if I could get one for less than 10 bucks at the store today I'd probably go for it

These should help you understand you don't need Monster haha. Just trust me trust me trust me on this. :-P

The first link is for the cable you will want lol.

if you have a 5 below store in your area, they sell 6' HDMI cables for 5 bucks.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Thanks guys and thanks Blzer I ordered the one in the first link

Got the Killzone3 PS3 bundle at KMart plus The Show 11 and 18 dollars spending money there for 299 plus tax. Nice deal. So I guess I'm part of the PS3 club now, not sure I've ever even played a PS3 for more than a minute or two

Hey, just wondering... can you do this deal online, or do you have to go in-store to pick it up?

If online, how do you Add To Cart so that The Show 11 is free with this purchase?

LOL. Nice!

I just got a cheap HDMI cable earlier. I didn't feel like switching back and forth with 360/PS3.

Same thing happened to me and if I go in and select alphabetical then it mixes whose online with who isnt so that doesnt work either. I dont know what they did but its not setup the same way and there doesnt appear to be anyway to fix it.

Hey Blzr I couldn't figure out how to do it online either - so I'm not sure if you can.

Also I got lucky because online they said the Killzone bundle was not available for pickup at any of my local KMarts so I assumed they were out of them. But when I showed up they had one sitting there in the case.

Today (Saturday) is the last day for the Show deal I'm pretty sure - so not much time to figure it out if you're looking to do it. My guess is you can do it online but you'll have to talk to someone to make sure they include The Show for free.


Diff topic...I opened up my PS3, found the controller and a cord that fit it and thought "my god the cord is 2 feet long this is ridiculous!" and was all mad about it thinking Sony screws you over and makes you purchase a longer cord if you want one. Then I realized the controller is wireless, sweet.

so question....how long does it take to charge a controller/how long will it work for after fully charged?

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

it'll take somewhere between 1-2 hours to charge a controller from dead and a charge seems to last 25-30 hours. If you would have asked this question yesterday I could have metered the charge playing DA2, I just switched to a fully charged controller last night. Still might be able to glean which save I used between charges.

A quick little tip for ya (in case you didn't know)....after you have your controller charged up through the ps3 for the first time,you can use your computer to charge every time after that.

I didn't like the idea of having to plug in the cord to charge my controller,so I just plugged one end into an open usb port,and just keep an eye on my battery level,and when low,just plug it into my computer for overnight charging. So there's no need to keep plugging,unplugging the cord from the PS3,just keep it plugged into your tower,and it's ready whenever you are.

Also, some cable boxes have a USB port that can charge your controller (since cable boxes are usually left powered on).

Love that thing, much better and more efficient than having a USB cable (plus I can charge my headset too). I just still think it would be cool if when it was done charging, the light would turn blue instead of green. I understand that green is universal, but then it starts to remind me of Xbox.

I'm sure I can find a way to mod it though.
