Regardless of where your gaming allegiances lie, there is no contesting the fact that the PlayStation 3 is a multimedia powerhouse.

I followed what the guy did and it's much improved, surprisingly.

NicCageMYHero6271d ago

I haven't tried it yet but is it noticeably improved over the defaults?

I use my PS3 has my primary multimedia machine. Ever since I discovered the magic that is HDMI and the ability to upscale DVD over it I've been extremely happy with the big black box. I enjoy the picture and sound quality of Blu-Ray. It's an awesome.

When I first set up my PS3 I set it up with component cables since I didn't have an additional HDMI port. And then when I played my 1st bluray movie I was so disapointed!! But someone told me to get an HDMI switcher and connect thru that with a new HDMI cable. Once I did that, the tru beauty of bluray shone thru!!!

doshey6271d ago

my brother had the same thing happen to him, except he didnt believe blu ray was better than dvd, till one day he bought a player now he wont shut up about blu ray cuz its so much better than dvd

BIGELLOW6271d ago

...with one exception. I would actually recommend turning 24Hz output OFF.

e3kehoe6271d ago

why??? sounds more like a personal preference.. I think that its better ON. ;p

Oner6271d ago

If you have a TV that is 120hz and/or supports 24hz the you actually WANT to have that enabled. It removes the 3:2 pull down flicker and other issues. Please refrain from posting misinformation if you don't know what you are talking about or don't explain why you would even say something like that.

I would be interested in a Saints Row 2 Remake.

I would agree... if the old Volition was still around to do it.

I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.

I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.

You sound super weak to be upset by a character creator ngl

welcome to your average n4g daily user lol

I'm not surprised after the backlash and hatred the last one got.

1nsomniac20h ago

The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.

Huey_My_D_Long3h ago

OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.

Kinda dumb they asked for his pitch then ghosted him, the concept sounded dope
