speaking of ps3. i finally updated my firmware to 2.42, i've read on the us.playstation forums that some people had problems with the update. i forgot what it was, but i think it was either the ps3 wouldn't read the disc[mainly towards warhawk and cod4], the sound quality was messed up. i never encountered these problems though.

Your problem is that you didn't buy an Xbox360.

[HyperTek]

some people had probs updating when 2.4 came out when they went to xmb... failed updates bricked the systems.. no probs here.

i wouldnt mind a 360 had i known u could easily play backups... but u could buy a cheap used red ringed 360 on ebay and fix it.

but i like my ps3 no complaints.

Ditto, got a Ps3 80gig and no complaints. I love it, just bought an intercooler for it. OMFG BUY ONE OF THESE IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE ONE! 21 dollars goes a long way to prolong a 500$+ piece of hardware.

My room is soooooo much cooler now and the Ps3 stays at a much better temp.

Fucking playstation 3. I upgraded it and boom, i cant use my wireless controller. Next upgrade the shit stalls out and wont turn on. Try it three days later, turns on upgrades and is all good.

My 250gb notebook sarta HDD is in the mail. Got it for a cool 85 bucks thanks to a friend.
Hello ps3 upgrade!

Gamestop / Eb Games / Best Buys, wherever. My is a "Pelican" brand.
-NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE 40G PS3 SORRY GUYS AND GALS!-

It says that it drops the temp by about 15 degrees. It's very much true, if not more so. It does make noise, but it doesn't bother me. You'll get used to it in an hour or so to a day. I sleep with my Ps3 on watching dvds all the time.

No joke, best purchase ever besides actually getitng the PS3 lol. *outside of car stuff*

Speaking about leaving PS3s on. Anybody else doing the "Folding Home" thing?


Here's two pictures:

Hmm....did you just walk into the store and grab it? I ask this because I can't find it online (available) other than buy.com.

[HyperTek]

yo i did the folding for about 2 days then couldnt stand the noise of my ps3 on in my room when i sleep.. i know its for a good cause and alot of pc guys do it. The interactive globe is really cool..

Yup, just walked right into the Gamestop next to my work and saw they last one. Not sure if they had more in the back or not.

Hm, never noticed my Ps3 making noises, guess I got used to it haha. And yeah, that interactive globe on a huge HD tv is fucking epic.

The fan noise from the intercooler, it just sounds like a small fan so it isn't that bad. :)

[theronin]

its all about getting movies off BT on my comp in my room upstairs, then streaming them over my wireless to my 360 on my big screen in the living room. can you do that kinda stuff with a ps3?

[HyperTek]

yah you can it will pick up media servers.. i if i leave a bittorrent program open, it will appear on the ps3, but i never tried it because im using my pc monitor on my ps3 lmao

PS3 newb here


what the hell is folding home?

what is this interactive globe you speak of?

[HyperTek]

on ur ps3 its in the same catagory as the internet browser. stanford university uploads data packets to computers to decompose the data and send the findings back to stanford to review if there is any useful findings that could help find a cure for cancer deseases etc. theres people all over the world who donate thier computers ability to do this in the background etc..

sony incorperated this as a option you could do with ur ps3.. its for a good cause.

[spoolandslide]

poor quality. one of the many new features of the ps3.

[TravisSW]

Still can't find out why there is so many haters on the Ps3 lol.

[Dirty Habit]

^No grantourismo for the xbox. Oh, and that whole no one carries HD anymore..lol.

They jelly.
