kss. I love that you wrote one word 'cool.' Yet there are haters out there disagreeing with you!

That's funny!

thereapersson6780d ago

This site. It's really a big joke sometimes...

#what is the biggest size HDD can i put in PS3(current one 60GB)?what format does it support now ?

ruibing6780d ago

Internally you can fit any SATA 2.5" HDD in there.

Externally you can run any external USB HDD as long as it is formatted in FAT32.

This is awesome. So long xbox (xmbc)

Bonsai12146780d ago

thats great. i can watch all my anime on my ps3 now... woot

gaffyh6780d ago

Can DivX also play Xvid videos or only Divx encoded videos? Because most AVI files i.e. anime etc. are usually encoded using Xvid and they work on my HDD DivX/Xvid Player, so I'm wondering if they would work straight away on my PS3?

Very cool feature for PS3, now it is a question of when this will be integrated into a firmware...

iilluminate6780d ago

I have been told Xvid files will work via DivX.

mark096780d ago

why dont they just sign with VLC media player, it plays everything. They probably dont own any rights to any of the formats they use tho.

sanderFVCKINcohen6780d ago

Just a few days ago Microsoft released a similiar announcement about haveing DivX on the 360. NOW, Sony is doing the same thing. What NEXT....??? Downloadable Playstation 2 games.

Greysturm6780d ago

Well lets see how long it takes for them to release the software or end the testing phase. I heard the 360 is releasing it in the fall/winter update so i expect them to get it ready soon although by the previous rumors it might be releases along with home.

CrashSharc6780d ago

yeah, I think they will utilize it with home, but I think they'll release it earlier to test it out and make sure it's all set. less pressure on Home launch. But seriously, can anyone say Media center OWNAGE? Seriously, the PS3 can do almost everything now! And note: I'm not downplaying the xbox. Yes the 360 is awesome, but I'm just talking about the PS3 right now... y'know... staying on point?

iilluminate6780d ago (Edited 6780d ago )

This is great news.

As far as I know a lot of videos now use Xvid, which requires separate codecs to DivX, I wonder what the chances of that being included too? As Xvid is free hopefully it will follow soon after.

Edit: I've been told Xvid will work.

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.

solideagle38d 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

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

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde45d 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.

Soy45d 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.

Relientk7747d ago

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

Cacabunga46d ago

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

S2Killinit46d ago (Edited 46d 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.

neutralgamer199246d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga46d 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

1nsomniac46d ago (Edited 46d 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.

medman46d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger46d 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_Box47d 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.

robtion46d 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.

darthv7247d 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.

Agent7546d ago

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

S2Killinit46d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14946d ago

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

Lightning7746d 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.
