This is indeed the best feature of 2.0 as far as I'm concerned, and is the one I use most. It has tidied up my PS3 and speeded up my ability to access my programs and files, which is a good thing in my book.
That said, I would also like to be able to group many items at once when editing my own groups, rather than be forced to do them individually; however, as we have seen, good things come to those that wait.
Sweet!
Thanks for the replies -- that helps a lot. I only stream music and piccies just now, so this will clearly be useful once I bother to stream some vids as well.
Nice.
So, not being the most savvy chap when it comes to technology in its various forms, can anyone tell me what the advantage of DivX coming to my PS3 will be? What new features and benefits should I be able to enjoy?
Thanks in advance to any able to answer.
:)
Regardless of a few tiny details, the PS3 version is certainly the poorer cousin in that comparison vid, and seems to have been put through a desaturation and blur filter.
Whilst I agree that the demo of the game was crap (which is why I'll be avoiding it), I can't agree that the PS3 is starved of games. You're speaking nonsense. My problem, as a PS3 owner, is trying to manage my budget due to all the great games coming my way. I can't afford them all, and it kinda sucks.
I mean, really, what is there to disagree with here? Yes, PoG tends to bias posts towards Xbox, but that's no reason to disagree with everything he writes (as I'm assuming it's PS3-types that are disagreeing here).
Please, a little restraint and maturity please.
No, wait a minute, not going to find that here, am I?
I think this was one of the most entertaining reads I've had regarding the nature of fanboys and the current console war to date. Not just for the article itself, but for the comments it has received by so many who simply misunderstand the point of the article.
Noticing that the article is skewed does not make you a fanboy. Getting annoyed by it -- especially when the article makes it clear that it is purposefully aiming to provoke an emotional response -- kinda does. Finding y...
@1.1: I see you entirely missed the point of the article, huh? Personally, I'll enjoy a good article no matter where it is posted; assuming, of course, that I don't need to pay to gain access.
Thinking that this article is an apology for PS3, or that it is designed to gain PS3 readers, really shows how little you understood what the author was saying.
That said, I'm sure some fanboys would think exactly what you do -- so, maybe you're correct about the results of...
And with that comment you show your fundemental lack of understanding regarding the point of this article. It would not matter whether the author was biased or not given the nature of the article; all that matters is how you respond to the fanboy comments it contains.
And it seems to me that you believe the author was unduly biased. That says more about you than it does about him, especially when the author stated that he was writing a biased article on purpose to highlight how...
I have to disagree completely. It was a post designed to provoke an emotional response in a select group of readers -- specifically, PS3 or Xbox fanboys -- and to show how that minority of readers may be taking things far too far. The editorial does this admirably, I think, and is not a rant.
Most reading the article will simply think: 'Hmm, he has some points, but this article seems really skewed to one side.' Then, upon reading the last paragraph, think: 'Aha, yes, I see what...
Well, I'll certainly be using keyboard and mouse on my PS3.
:)
I'm not sure if I should cheer or cry. The only thing for sure is that Singstar will be in my house come Christmas, and my wife and daughter will be happy.
Slap!
@8.1: Good game! Bubbles for you. I'm getting really fed up with the trash talking on all sides. I propose we play this game more.
Creating your own folders for the content on the hdd -- rather than relying on the folders created by the PS3 -- is by far the most useful part of this update for me. It has really helped clear up those long lists of demos and games, and the similarly long lists of movies.
Nice.
:)
No problem. We all make mistakes (I do all the time).
:D
The final score was 4.8, not 4.5. Didn't dk_2kx read the review he referenced?
The fact the Xbox version currently scores higher on those sites just shows the weakness of such meta ratings as a guideline for comparing games on different platforms. After all, if Xbox magazines score a game higher than the PS3 magazines just because PS3 magazines have a harsher scoring technique, but all the cross-platform sites and magazines score the game broadly equally, how can it then be said the Xbox itration of a game is objectively better?
Well, it can't. All it say...
To be pedantic, I think you'll find it's 0.2 better on graphics, and 0.1 better on gameplay, not 0.1 better on graphics; according to that review, anyway.
That said, it's pretty minor. It seems fair to me for the PS3 to be a little better with the graphics, and a little better with the controls due to sixaxis extras, but a little less on the online multiplayer front due to the extras currently offered by Xbox in that area.
Well, as differences go, the two games seem to come out pretty much the same here, assuming the two reviews are scaled against each other accurately. My initial worries for the game seem well and truly unfounded now, so it seems this game will be added to my PS3 library very soon.
Looks like a good day for gaming on all platforms.
:)
You do know you can just make up your own groups, yes?
