Don't be so quick to knock the idea.
I'm one of those people PikkonX describes. I'm currently using a higher-end 91(something) OneForAll remote to control EVERYTHING...except the PS3, and it really, really pisses me off.
I'm just dying for the release of a BT capable remote which fully supports the PS3...but haven't come across anything yet.
What's more, I've got my house insanely wired and interconnected so that I can pass A/V signals throughout my ent...
LOL.
Say, that wouldn't be near VHS Valley at the foot of Mt. Vinyl and right off of Highway 8-Track, would it???
;)
It's funny how gamers are branded a certain negative stereotype, and are usually frowned upon, yet the masses see nothing wrong with eagerly sitting through hours upon hours of reality shows - most of which entail the lives and circumstances of absolute strangers - as well as other forms of trash TV, tabloids, and other completely pointless and unproductive past-times...simply because "everyone" is doing.
Personally, I'd rather spend my leisure time interactively, and e...
What's a "Brower"?
:P
Well, that's a pretty subjective question, since everyone's got different tastes & preferences, but I'll bite:
Here's are my picks strictly from my current collection and my reasoning for each:
*Goodfellas: One of my all-time favorite movies, and only $20.
*Spider-Man Trilogy: HUGE Spidey fan, and brilliant, amazing eye-candy in 1080p/i
*Superman Returns: HUGE Superman fan (no kidding). Although the movie didn't fare well with the criti...
you forget this and just opt for the quick and simple PS3Video9, by Red Kawa.
It's, an excellent one-step FREE program...and there are other versions available which are customized for other systems as well, including the PSP and the Wii.
Yes, I did indeed said "Wii." (Mjpeg)
Here's a link:

To be honest, I haven't had the chance yet to sit through an entire movie; I just threw a whole slew of previously-non-functioning streamed files via TVersity.
Everyone played without a hitch...although I did notice that one of them took a few extra seconds to "wind-up", but that could've been latency on the PC side.
@lovedaddy
Sorry you feel that way; I haven't yet had the need to play 4Gig files.
I don't know about it being 'rubbish',...
for me is that now ALL my Divx & Xvid files now play flawlessly on the system.
Before last night, I was required to re-encode otherwise-fine video files to AVC or Divx, way too often.
Funny thing is that this critical tweak wasn't even mentioned (not unlike Sony to do so...those sly dogs!)
Awesome update!!!
BTW: Regarding the internet browser, am I the only one who can't log-on to their N4G account via their PS3? Strange that I have no...
Wow, is that ever an ironic statement.
(and it's "they're", by the way.)
Yeah, likely so.
I can't see myself skipping something essential like that. I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to those things.
AS a matter of fact, that is part of the reason why I'd like to complete the first three games BEFORE June 12th; I reckon that playing them in order will enhance the overall experience.
Cheers.
and ordered the MGS Essential Collection.
I'm one of those MGS 'noobs'; my only hands-on experience is PSP's Portable OPs.
Been wanting to play the first one for a long time now, but it's been really difficult to find, so this compilation is right up my alley, and a steal, as far as I'm concerned.
Can you MGS veterans advise whether the first three games are overly long? I have a feeling I won't manage to finish all of them before June 12th hits.
What meepmoopmeep (3.6) said.
Simple as that, really.
Why is that so hard to understand?
Not unlike your long-winded, highly-debatable, subjective list of why ***YOU*** think we "shouldn't" be satisfied with our console of choice, our opinions and degrees of satisfaction are our own.
I feel no need to rebut your "reasons", despite the fact that every single one of them is either weak, flawed, inaccurate, hostile, or insan...
Holy sh[t...they work!!!...they ALL work!!!
I through a slew of non-working streamed video files at the PS3...EVERY SINGLE one of them finally work!!!
WOO HOO!!!
Thank you, brother!...have a bubble for my joy!
(and GOOD RIDDANCE PS3Video9, Divx Converter, etc.!)
TVersity transcodes on-the-fly as well (when needed)...honestly, I'm quite happy with TVersity, other than this little hiccup.
Funny, because Media Player, Nero Home, and Azureus IMMEDIATELY show up without a hitch...even though I don't want them (lol).
Go figure.
Thanks anyway, and bubble for your kind effort.
I've had the same problem...mostly with some DivX & Xvid files...been having to re-transcode files way too often.
Your comment gives me some hope; gonna try it as soon as it installs.
And here I was just moseying over to my PC simply to restart TVersity so that I can stream an episode of Dexter to my comfy, bed-ridden PSP...and my browser homepage slaps me cold with THIS wicked news!
Think I'll go download instead. :D

I went to EB games and:
"I traded three and am getting it FREE!"
OK, not quite, but I just couldn't resist the rhyme. ;)
I got it for quite a steal, actually. I submitted:
*Rainbow Six: Vegas (PSP): Atrociously terrible game, and costed me eight bucks.
*Splinter Cell: Double Agent (PS3): Bad port, and I haven't enough patience to bear the loading times.

has soooooo hit the nail right on the head.
(Although I personally think that the iPod is way over-glorified when compared to other (read: "cheaper and more feature-rich") audio players.
Kudos!
who found the demo immensely underwhelming?
I just couldn't warm up to it.
Not only do my MP4's play just swell, but ALL of my Divx & Xvid files finally play flawlessly, whereas prior to the update, I was required to re-encode several otherwise-fine Divx files, or convert them to AVC.
Thank you Sony, and keep it coming.
BTW: Using TVersity as a media server.
