i'll admit i was naive and harbored hope for Beyond Good and Evil HD in this list, given that it was due to come out in "May".. :(

InFamous has to be on the list just to drum up more fans for the sequel, right?

^needs to be in this thread.
you have to get a firmware update out, right, absolutely as soon as possible. you don't have time to test it to make sure it doesn't do something bad, like maybe destroy ps3s. no time. just push it out and hope nothing bad happens. here goes...

Last night I got as far as changing my password, couldn't get into the psn store. Really very fucking close to just blowing away my Sony connection altogether.

I don't think you need to go into the actual store - I deleted mine from the account management section (or whatever the "sign in" thing turns into once you actually sign in).

I may have mentioned it on this thread already, but my PS3 died just the way it's being described in those articles right before PSN went down. I had been watching Netflix at the time. I don't have LA Noire.
― rockapads, Thursday, 19 May 2011 16:34 (thirteen years ago) link
That is weird, exactly the same thing happened to my PS3 the day before the network went down. I can't remember the exact sequence of events because I wasn't paying attention, but as far as I can remember, I put a DVD in, the machine beeped a few times and died. When I started it back up, it started fine for about 10 seconds before the slowing right down and freezing, then it was totally dead. It's out of Sony's warranty so I found a place online who said they could fix any PS3 problem, which they did. About a week after getting it back, the exact same thing happened again while playing Portal 2. They repaired it again, free of charge, and I've had it back for a few days and it seems to be ok. But by now, I'm kind of hoping it dies again so I can get a refund on the repair and just buy a straight Blu-Ray player. Had enough of it now.
― nate woolls, Thursday, 19 May 2011 19:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I haven't really taken any action because I don't want to part with it, but between the busted console and the hacked PSN thing, I'm thinking about either getting a blu-ray player + apple TV and waiting for the next generation of Xbox, or just using a cheap PC for a media center and saying goodbye to consoles for good.

james is that one of those programs that runs on ANOTHER computer, and streams the video to the PS3? i have never understood the attraction of that. it's like, what a great media center, all it needs is another computer on all the time to function properly.

― I HAVE ISSUES (DJP), Friday, 20 May 2011 19:24 (thirteen years ago) link
never tried PS3 media server, but I messed with tversity or whatever and it was OK. eventually I realized all I wanted to do was play downloaded movies on my TV so I just bought a quick little USB stick and converted MKV to VOB and watched them directly off of it. I think the same thing is possible on 360.

y'all know you can build/buy used a cheap pc for cheap and hook it into your network and play movies like that right? probably cheaper than a ps3 or an apple tv!
― Alderaan Duran (Will M.), Friday, 20 May 2011 21:32 (thirteen years ago) link
my PS3 was a gift, so it was actually much cheaper than a cheap PC
― I HAVE ISSUES (DJP), Friday, 20 May 2011 21:44 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, I mentioned it as an option in my post. Problem is it really isn't that cheap compared to the other options once you figure in the cost of the operating system (assuming you aren't a pirate or Linux person). I may do it the next time I need to upgrade my PC.

TBH, PS3 Media Server is a pretty neat little program, I have it on my laptop and it streams and converts p much anything I throw at it to the telly via the PS3. Only drawback for me was our wifi is fucked (long narrow house, lots of brick walls) so it streamed badly so I gave up.
