The Playstation 3 is IDENTITY THEFT

I've had what you described before since I've had it, I just figured that was the machine's idiosyncrasies

today I was getting random black outs or flickering staticky screens (no popping sound though); and even an audio drop out in-game

switching tv inputs to antenna back to HDMI seems to sort it

hmm; I hope these come w/a manufacturer's warranty

o hi

EU only

And you gotta pay per movie?

EU more like PU!!!

Either pay-per-video weekly rentals or an all-you-can-watch subscription service. There’ll also be some free videos to try out the service, too.

In theory Mubi is pretty cool. They've been around for a couple of years (orginally called the Auteurs and closely tied to Criterion in the US). Besides the name change they've recently cut their price structure about in half (but offer less free movies than they used to)... and do have a decent selection of rare arty films that often aren't available elsewhere, not on dvd and not from netflix - stuff like the Phillip Garrel films. Selection apparently varies by region though. At least in the US, even after a couple of years the selection isn't huge. It's quality though. I never liked the pay per film structure - especially when the prices were $5 or $6 per film, but if they roll out an inexpensive subscription option, that's something I would consider.

Holy crap - their site is getting slammed right now - so slow! http://mubi.com/

oops!
there is trouble in the projection booth. the issue has been reported, and we will work quickly to resolve it.

please go back and try again. if you continue to get errors, feel free to contact us at supp✧✧✧@theaute✧✧✧.c✧✧

is the ps3 thing gonna be like an "app"?

if you get all the trophies for a game but not the DLC trophies, do you still get the platinum?

or is the platinum all trophies for the game regardless of whether they are original or DLC?

Guys I am 30 years old and I am sort of interested in getting a PS3 but fear that I am "tool old" for this stuff. Keep in mind I played MLB 08 for an hr last night. I wouldn't call myself a HC game player and don't really go for the final fantasy RPG or etc. I'm kind of interested in playing against friends online (perhaps YOU?!!?). I don't really BELIEVE in blu-ray, though the idea od netflix streaming looking better on my big TV than thru a laptop is exciting to me. Is it hard to set up?

It's super easy.

Plug it in, have its wifi card detect yr wireless network, DONE.

sub question: where's the cheapest place to go to get one? Are thee places where you get better deals if you wink at the workers in a special way? do pplaces even take PS2 for trade in?

You sound like me, except I already have a PS3. It is very easy to set up. You can trade in a PS2 but I have no idea how much they'll give you for it.

have you SEEN a blu ray?

they're incredible imo

yeah not expecting more than 20.00 tbh, but 20.00 is 6% off a 300.00 purchase y'know.

I've seen blu-ray and find it offputting for non-documentary stuff

I've only watch like one or two movies on blu-ray because I'm too cheap to spring for the extra blu-ray fee on netflix.

yeah I get that

xp

another bonus is it's super easy to set up streaming from a pc/mac to your PS3

good restorations of old films look SOOOOOOOOOOO good on the blu

OK, any thoughts in a refurbishes sys. vs. nib?

no

no thoughts or...?

I have no thoughts on that issue.

no thoughts

another bonus is it's super easy to set up streaming from a pc/mac to your PS3

Any easy guides for this? I've tried, but failed...

PC to PS3:

1. download and install TVersity
2. open ports on your firewall

ta-da

I could do it on my PC but haven't been able to since buying a Mac.

mac to PS3

1. download PS3 media server
2. run it
3. turn on PS3

ta-da

this the software I use; setup was as easy as running the program and having the PS3 automatically find my mac. I'm doing it over a wireless network so ymmv

http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/

i use medialink for mac.

I imagine medialink is good (I used to use connect360 on the xbox) but PS3 media server has the added bonus that it costs $free.99

Cheers both, shall try later.

this is all v useful info. I think I will get a nib ps3 but I will have to wait until one of my v large paychecks comes in

and trade in the ps2 and stuff to get monies to get games w

forgot to mention also tht PS3 media server will also re-encode files on the fly which handily gets round the fact that the PS3 doesn't play nice w/mkv

i got a ps3. I got rdr. it's makingme nauseous :p

how so?

dunno. doom induced motion sickness i guess

So in love with PS3 Media Server. Console worth owning for this alone.

the only thing I don't like about PS3M is it can't handle subs; other than that it is so good, I agree

ico & sotc in HD on PS3 rumours ratcheting up now we're circling E3

gah my ps3ms ended up a stuttering fuck up after about 2 weeks of use.

Oh. I'm still in week one. O_O

i'm told it might have been the file types i was playing, but i can't check now as it's all gone gone

Some of my game disks aren't being recognised, I think my bluray might be dying :(

it was so hot here last night my ps3's fan was going like crazy

it was insanely loud

sounded like...

AN XBOX

Would really like Beyond Good and Evil 2 to actually exist....

Any recommendations for more cool/weird games/experiences like Flower?
