Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

LOL, this coming from the OS forums, where we get our panties in a bunch over incorrect sock colours...

Seriously though, have you ever been over there? It's crazy...worse than OS, though you may not think it's possible. Every little thing is 10 times worse than the stripes being wrong on a soccer sock

Sony's online system is a total joke.

That above just proves it. I mean, WTF Sony?

EDIT - and the **** is a F Bomb...not my link

I can't believe you guys are complaining about this... seriously. Think of all the endless possibilities.... and of course it is awesome to have three different user names.

But in all seriousness what the hell. Who on the online design team sat down and thought this was a good idea? Stupid, really stupid. I hope this madness is just for the beta but I doubt it.

So even if XMB does come out in the summer time, it will be useless for integration with this game it seems.

What is a even bigger shame that this is a PS3 exclusive.

Even Ubisoft made their own in game XMB with the PS3 version where you go straight to it from the main menu. You can actually read/send messages.

But this... wow.

This man is 100% correct.

I don't know. I post over there too and I honestly can't say it's better or worse. Both forums have people crying over stupid little stuff WAY too often.

It is a bit weird what Konami are doing with the ID system. When you see stuff like this you almost see now why Phil Harrison left Sony. It seems the big corporate video game companies in Japan just don't seem to get online with possible exception of Capcom

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Couple quick questions. Any bluetooth head set works? All online games support chat? How do you play your own music in games? Sometime my screen goes back for a second, then resumes as normal, anyone else experience this?

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

I'll try to answer:

1. I don't think all Bluetooths work. check this link to get a picture of what does:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._PlayStation_3


2.Not yet. It seems to have taken a while for some devs to take advantage of the ps3 hardware but It's getting better.

3.A few games have custom soundtracks,MLB the show and Super Stardust HD come to mind.

4.Not sure about that.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Well thanks for your input. I will have to adjust my HDMI cable and see if that wont fix it. Another question, once you copy movies files to your hard drive can you make a folder to put all the movies in to make it a little more clean. I have a few t.v. shows and I would much rather have folders of the name of the show, then the seasons, then the episodes.

you can't create folders which is pretty goofy. The PS3 by default sorts them by date I believe, but I changed my sorting to by name (press square) and it puts things in folders according to the 1st letter of the file name. Like I have seasons of That 70's Show on my PS3, so they are in a T folder.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

For you guys with external HDD

Are there specific kind you have to use?

How do you install them?

Do they load slow if you want to pull something off of them?

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

You don't need a specific kind, just a USB drive. You'll need to format it in FAT32 file format which you can do from your PC. Transfer speed is definitely fast.

Depends... I have a folder with every single King of Queens episode on my hard drive that def. takes a while to access every time I turn on the system.

Mind sharing how that can be done?

Thanks fishepa

Pared, never thought about it like that but i'd probably use my dvr to watch tv shows.

What's the cheapest ex HDD you've run across?

Some of them are FAT32 by default, if so then you won't need to format it. Otherwise, just connect it to your PC, then it will show up in My Computer. Just rigt click on the drive and select Format. Then I believe the default setting is for FAT32, if not, change it and format it.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Alright, thanks.

Now how about one of those once in a lifetime deals you guys always find on the net. Im sure somebody is selling a nice external for a practically nothing budget.
