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.

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.

Thanks for all the info. I just hope with this crappy Hughes Net internet I will be able to access home

I have a few questions about the Metal Gear PS3 Package. Dual Shock 3 is the same controller except this one has the rumble feature? Besides a hardrive capacity, what else is different about the system?

Man that Warhawk war room sounds really neat.

Yes. Different - you get a cool box to open.

Seriously though, my guess would be not much. Maybe the ability to play the old PS2 games? I know with the current 40 GB you cannot do that.

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.

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.

Instead of game launching why dont they just have an option of joining a particular users game?

yeah, sounds like a needless step. On the 360, when I got on, someone could send me an invite from in their game, and I could jump to their exact group.

Sounds like you have to be organized before you get a group together on the ps3 in Home. Not as convenient.

Enjoy. Lots of reading for you there.

Thanks, Pared. Some info in there that was useful for sure.

What about something similar that talks about specific features you can or can't do? Like, can I use the ps3 browser to watch youtube videos? How do I go about linking the ps3 to my laptop over the network? Can I stream videos that way? Any chance that the ps3 can be used like a dvr?

In other words, any FAQ's for the cool features of the ps3?

yeah you can see youtube vids through the PS3 Internet browser. Yes you can link your PS3 to a computer over the network by setting up a media server on a computer (Windows Media Player 11 and TVersity are free ones to use), and then you can stream vids, music, and pics from your computer to your PS3. Europe is getting something called PlayTV which is a DVR functionality for the PS3 next month, maybe one day it will make it to North America.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Phant, aukevin I think answered most of your questions.

(Correctly, too.)

If you have anything else you want to ask, feel free to fire away.

Lots of great, knowledgeable guys here.... especially now that everyone's 360 is dying.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

You won't be laughing if it happens to you. By the way, if is interchangeable with the word when.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Europe gets there own two bundles:

GTR! That is the sexiest box art I have ever seen. GT5 included.

And a three movie one.

Pretty good deals although neither comes with DS3 controllers which makes it not so good.
