Geekfill - "This is probably one of the best PS3 setups we’ve ever seen, the wiring art on the wall is simply amazing and makes the living room look much cleaner."

That is a classy setup , liking the wire design lol How about replace the fat with PS3 Slim?

starcb265472d ago

But the fat ps3 has a piano black finish, which makes it look classier.

morganfell5472d ago

I have several PS3s One is a 60GB launch with an upgraded HDD. Can't beat having that PS2 backwards compatibility. Downgrading to a slim would cost you that feature.

InactiveUser5472d ago

@morgan

You can beat it with HD upgrade compilations on a scratch resistant Blu-ray with trophies, 16x9, higher fps, 3D, Move controls (if you're into that), bonus content, etc.

Panthers5472d ago (Edited 5472d ago )

The fat PS3 has all of that as well though. Not sure I see your point.

CameronL995472d ago

What's with the wine glass? Trust me, this guy isn't entertaining classy women with boxed Red Wine and Army of Two lol

jadenkorri5471d ago

@ EeJLP

wow lack of knowledge, its like the ps3 never came out until the slim.

sobekflakmonkey5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

Yeah, I'm diggin the fat PS3, I don't think the person who owns this set up and took this picture is a gamer though, just a hunch, it's an amazing setup, even the furniture, got the candles for mood, plants sitting around to make it look healthy almost, glass of wine while listening to some tunes, speakers in the wall, this person is no gamer, just a classy person, and it's not a bad thing or anything. lol

Edit: and when I say "Gamer" I mean like hardcore gamer, this guy or girl is probably a gamer, but not spending nights and nights in a row playing video games.

Boody-Bandit5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

The wires are cute but that's not how you position a sound system. I have seen setups that makes this look meh at best. Just visit a couple ht forums and go to their gaming sections. Hell I like a couple of my setups a lot more than this. One this is for sure, I have a lot better hardware.

espiritu6045471d ago

The only thing left is a beer hat

SaiyanFury5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

While it is indeed a creative setup, it in no way dwarves my setup. I have my PS3 run through my Yamaha RX1800 1000 watt, 7.1 channel receiver with two JBL 500 watt subwoofers and 9 surround speakers and with DTS, Dolby Digital, and LCM surround, I like my setup very well. Also that my receiver is run into my 61" 1080p HDTV is also very nice. Creative setup yes. Best setup, no. Am I trying to argue that mine is best. Not in the least. Just because that setup is quite creative, doesn't make it the best.

RedDevils5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

Do anyone know how to get that visualization on that picture for the ps3?

starcb265471d ago

@unbiased gamer

You crazy that ps3 is nicer then the slim and it goes with the whole setup.

Washington-Capitals5472d ago

I think this is photo shopped. Or im just jealous.

the_best_player5472d ago

Fat or Slim if you have none you will miss out on all of Sony's First party games :)

zero_gamer5471d ago

I am probably one of the few that prefers the design of the slim over the fat one, and I have both. Then again it's just my opinion. The PS3 Slim feels nostalgic (like a PS2).

RedDevils5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

couple of days I said fat ps3 is way better looking than the slim and people were jumping on me, well look at them now LOL

RedDead5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

Is that the one where you said it looks better than 360 slim? That's why you got disagrees...360s looks sexy, I dunno how MS manage to come up with that filthy 360 Fat design. Looks like crap, however the 360s is fu**ing nice and is a bit better looking than Ps3 fat....imo

Whats on the inside though right? In this case at least

KillerPwned5472d ago

How they lined up the wires is my favorite part to. It has that technological look to it.

meetajhu5472d ago (Edited 5472d ago )

This epic fail setup. Just for picture purpose. The ps3 wall mounting is just going to create scratches on legacy ps3's as they are extremely polished. On top of that its going to collect dust from walls. So much fail. And due to vibrations its going to fall one day.

tablav5472d ago (Edited 5472d ago )

In that vain, you could say that anybody that modifies a PS3 is fail because it's not how it ORIGINALLY was. And besides, you can only scratch something if it's in contact with something else, like people who leave their game cases on top of the machine. I somehow don't see that happening in this setup.

As for falling of of the wall, I do agree with that, but it all depends on what fixings (in any) are used. Besides, even if it does only stay on the wall for 2 years or so, the system might need to be replaced by then.

It's a good setup and clean design. I like it when people do something a little different.

EDIT: Just saw how it was done. Okay, maybe it will fall down. :-/

DeadIIIRed5472d ago

I like the setup (especially the wires, I may copy this with my sound system), but I agree with mounting the PS3 so high up. I get nervous just standing my PS3 upright, let alone elevating it almost 5 feet in the air.

HappyGaming5471d ago

@DeadIIIRed OMG YES!!!

Great idea I can do the same with the wires from my surround sound system...

Five wires can come out of the base and slowlly crawl up behind the TV in a nice techno alignment like in the picture and they can each go to a corner of the room where the speakers are!!!

Much better than just following the corners of the walls to the speakers...

:D My room is going to look so sexy once I do this!

hiredhelp5472d ago

Nice setup shame cant see the rear speakers. Guessin its not 2.0 surround.
Id go with a wider telly thoe but other than that. (envy)

aGameDeveloper5472d ago

Looks nice, but I wouldn't want my stereo sound coming from the ceiling.

50Terabytespersec5472d ago

Beautiful , Slim is ugly fat was Piano gorgeous just had to put in in the right place!! Great job envious!!

hiredhelp5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

TRUE!! ive had a fat 60gb upgraded too YLOD on me paid sony got referb that went in next month from repair centre they extended my warrantee to a year. i started to get freeezing issues with another replacement fat so i got a slim.

sure slim works doesnt get as hot.
but i miss the phat

Classy indeed.

but why are these stylish designer-esque rooms always having the TV far away or at an awkward angle from the furniture?

Squinting eyes and head titled 45 degrees constantly...

tablav5472d ago

That's just how the photo has been taken. The scene is dressed in the foreground to make it seem more realistic. That's not actually how anyone would have their furniture.

It looks like the sort of shot used to advertise a company that creates these setups.

steve30x5472d ago

My 40" TV is 10 fet away from my sofa. Its not good for your eyes to sit close to a monitor or TV.

bozebo5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

@steve30x

Any evidence for this? Scientific whitepapers maby?

Nope.

Also, monitors are designed specifically to be sat close to.

Solidus187-SCMilk5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

the only thing cool about it is that the wires look neat like that.

I think the best setup ever would have a bigger TV, bigger speakers, no wires at all showing, better couches/chairs, bongs and a kegarator instead of candles and wine. Also wouldnt use my PS3 as a decoration. he must have bought a longer cord to charge his controller, or charges it through other USB things.

Oldsnake0075472d ago

looooooooooool

looks cool but I would not feel safe when playing and would fear that my Ps3 could fall anytime.

T-K47x5472d ago

I know yeh thats why I would never want to mount my TV on the wall

NBT915472d ago

If you can afford all that, you could prolly afford to replace a PS3 or two =D

Cherchez La Ghost5472d ago

???! Hdtv's are 3x the weight of a PS3. He has it mounted on the stud of the wall. That some DiY work. Now he got me thinking to do the same thing instead of putting the wires imside of the wall. That's perfect for a man cave. Damn, this concept got me thinking!!!! Beautiful artwork right there.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle15d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7715d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde22d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy22d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7723d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga23d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199223d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga23d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman22d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger23d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box23d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion22d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7223d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7523d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit23d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14923d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7723d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
