That line was also used when I traded the Premium for the Elite.

I like the PS3 in white.

I guess that makes me Carlos Menstealia. But seriously, that actually looks pretty cool.

I do too, but the blacks matches all my stuff.

PS3 Settings -- tweaks help


Anyone have any advice on how to get the most out of my PS3 for games and movies? What default setting should I change?

I have a 720p/1080i television and am using an HDMI cable.

I recently stumbled across a site which advised to change the display color to full (from limited) and change the superwhite option to on. That did help some.

Anyone else have any advise concerning visual/audio?

How Resistance: Fall of Man Makes Home Really, Really Cool

One of the first games expected to shine in one of Home's series of game portals is Insomniac's Resistance: Fall of Man. Resistance is said to provide Home visitors with an interesting room to explore, one that will let PlayStation 3 owners visit unseen areas of the game and tap into bonus content in the form of "intercepted" radio communications between European and U.S. forces.

These hidden transmissions will help to flesh out the Resistance story, giving players a better understanding of the game's conflict. We hear that Home avatars will have free roam of unpopulated levels, not unlike a virtual Resistance museum.

How Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Makes Home Really, Really Cool

According to our sources, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune comes to Home armed with a side-scrolling 2D arcade game, described to us as reminiscent of both Contra and Out Of This World. Sounds kind of like Capcom's 2D remake of Bionic Commando in its execution, full of enemies and exploding barrels to shoot.

Sony is apparently pitching features like these to developers to extend the lives of their titles, using strong first and second party development showcases to prove that Home can effectively market outside of traditional means. We hope they take them up on their offer, because we're definitely excited about the prospects.

How Warhawk Makes Home Really, Really Cool

According to our sources, the Home lobby for the Incognito dogfighter will serve as a "war room" where up to eight players can meet to discuss their strategy for an upcoming match. Sure, you could do that with text or voice chat, but it sounds like the developers have gone the extra mile to make planning your battles even cooler.

Using a three-dimensional "sand table" replication of the level, Warhawk players are said to be able to lay out their strategies in a properly scaled space. They'll even be able to place little army men avatars around the map to envision their formations, something we hope they can also do with teeny tiny Warhawk planes, tanks and Jeeps.

The Warhawk war room is said to also serve as a launchpad for games, thankfully, so jumping into a match shouldn't require leaving the Home interface.

This is one of the coolest additions, in my personal opinion, to come to Home and the kind of thing that we hope is replicated and improved upon by other developers for their team-based titles.

Glad you got it working. What model Tv do you have ???

Just to let ya know I'm using a Sony KP-46WT520.

I jumped in to the HD era w/ this T.V. too early I should have waited until the big LCD/Plasma mark downs.

Oh well at least my Blu-Ray works now!

Relax, broseph. It's been less than 3 hours.

My opinion is that I don't know what else you could change. Just use the highest resolution that doesn't slow down games and put the RGB to Full and SuperWhite "on." That's all I can say about it.

[Altimus]

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Anyone?

720p will the best for all games.

As far as RGB Full and Super White on... I have it to full and on. RGB Full makes thing a little darker in a good way and Super White makes things whiter. A good combination but you may have to adjust the brightness a little on your TV if you turn on RGB Full. I did a little. Its hard to explain but you'll see...

There's not really much to do, which is to say there's nothing you're gonna mess up or anything. Just play around with it.

Yeah, like Undefeated said, just test out the different settings yourself. There's so much variation in the TVs we have and the connections we are using, what works for one person may not work for you.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

whats up guys-
i just noticed i cant view my pictures or listen to my songs on my ps3.
it says it cant find any media servers now.
I checked on my windows media player on my pc and it says an unkown device is sharing media.
For some reason the ps3 cant find these files.
It worked before, but Im not sure when it stopped working.
Anyone know how to fix it??
thanks.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

You have to allow the unknown device in the media player under sharing for it to work.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

I've been stress testing for the past 40mins, it started out pretty rough, I got on before the 7pm pst and it was crashing like crazy, and plenty of lag then a mod came on and told us to log off and come back at 7 or their afterwards. They had the same problems in the UK, so we all logged off and came back after 7 and its moving pretty good right now, and the mods are keeping us informed. Their were some glitches with the mic comm. that seems to be working pretty well right now. I been running, bowling, playing chess talkng non stop, texting just trying to put it through the ringers and so far its holding up and its pretty crowded. Video streaming the adverstising versions are running flawless, we also can use our HDD to put pics on the wall in your apartment, I guess video and music is coming next. Overall again I think you guys are gonna like this very much for its seamless chatting functions and game launching.

Ok, their are problems with underload, thats creating the downsampling of the avatars and other problems devs. are fast at work, another hour to go.

Avatars are very blurry and it looks as if the polygons are reducing, programmers are working as we are commenting via mic or text, very proactive.

Ok avatars are blurry based on connection speed, some are great when you look at them some are PS1 as far as blurry.

Scanveger hunt type of game being played with puzzles from games via advertisment banners. We are running to building and banners and trying to figure games or movies, its pretty cool.

ok, avatars PQ has gotten better, I crashed and once I logged back on the avatars are better, sound is better its moving pretty good, however I don't know because some people may have logged off.

Ok 1 hour 23 mins in and 3 crashes thus far

crashed soon thereafter the 1hour 23min mark and now I'm back on with 25mins to go. Some people are disipline and putting it through the ringers some are of the microwave age and don't understand stress test and expect it to function as advertised and since left the building. I tried to encourage them to do what was asked of them for the greater good.
