((( PS3 Discussion )))

Hi All

I am a Fresh Owner of PS3...

I just created this thread so that all PS3 users can discuss variuos issues regarding PS3

here is wht i have found so far...

1,) change the theme by dowloading themes from here,,,
*www.ps3-themes.com/ ( GOOD COLLECTION HERE )
*www.allps3themes.com/

Now Put these *.p3t files as follows...

X:\PS3\THEME\(paste within this folder those *.pst files)

X being the main memory card root...

2.) it seems u can install linux and other os...haven tried it .. so if amny one can explain on this ... it will be useful for many...

3.) to know the Battery of SIXASIS - while in the Main menu press PS button ... u can see the battery on the right hand top side.. denoting battery level..

MY personal Review on PS3

Please share ur thought and express all other possiblity with PS3...
Also it seems u can run homebrew software...

All The PS3 Xperts... WE need u ..

also it seems we currently cant run *.avi files.. but with some software.. u can stream those files to ps3 from pc....

Next firmware will support divx..
So, do you think its better to get a PS3 than a high end PC?

nothing can replce Pc...

but given the thing that PS3 suporting Bluetooth KB and Mouse.. it should give better performance and comfort...

and to ur info current PS3 2.10 supports DIVX.... and atrac....

but i am having 2.01.. have to upgrade...

S

Ill soon be a part of this thread coz im also getting a PS3 on 7-8th of march.

nice.... sunny1211993...

its just that... the cell processor works like all those spectacular graphics in burnout paradise... are just childs play.. it never feels like .... well forget it ....its just ike a BIG jump for me .. seeing all those lags... slownes.. mediocre graphics in my C2D / 8600 GT...

arre kahaan yaar,there is no match for PC high end gaming.NO console can match the FPS gaming on PC but games like POP series and sports games are good for consoles.

Then no PS3 for me.. :grin:

no .. i too was a believer of PC gaming .. but PS3 just changed my attitude..

given KB & mouse.. i think PC gaming may just be behind...

i got it in tamilnadu/salem...

i bought burnout paradise .. in that the firmware update was included...

but need to change to 2.10....

U

for how much did u get burnout paradise?
i want to buy it but silly exams!
and has anyone got DMC4? what is the approx. plating time?

Actually even iam planning to get a PS3.My question is can it replace a HTPC?
(forget about TV tuner).
Can we use it as a media center?

^^^ paradise costs 2.5k

get 40 gb guys .. if anyone gona buy PS3.. here is why..

1.) usb - 2 slots (more than enough....)
2.) Still u can use 4 sixasis with bluetooth connection
3.)later idf u want .. u can change to 120 gb or more with laptop hard disk..
4.)still u can use SD/Memory cardwith external card reader... thru usb port..
5.) u cant play ps2 games... ( who needs it... Ps3 games are more spectacular/more graphical..

so at last u end up saving 5k = 2 PS3 games// :-D

PS3 if it supports avi.. will bcome one of the best Home enternaintment in ONE SINGLE PACKAGE...

@naveen , dude try Burnout Revenge or Burnout Dominator .

They're the Original Burnout , Pradise is not the real thing .

yeah will do it ..

is other version other than paradise avail for ps3???

N

even i m getting a PS3 from Planet M or Sony
will join this thread.

Totally wrong thing to say, unless you are a graphics whore who doesn't give a hoot about the gameplay. Surely you can't just diss around games like God of War, can you?

@Others: Playing FPS is not that difficult on the controllers, atleast not on the 360 controllers. In fact, I enjoyed my COD4 more on the 360 then on the PC. The sheer joy of squeezing the trigger-shaped shoot button on the game pad and then feeling the controller vibrate as the shot was fired is simply mind blowing.

Then there was the post-nuclear blast scene where I could feel the heart beat of my character through the gamepad as it slowed down, gasped in it's last breath and then went dead. That's immersion!

no i just want to justify my stand...
i just want to say that .. people who have bought 40gb need not worry to much that they have bought 40gb...
i havent played GOW.... may be it will be good.. but if its coded for ps3 it would be more better than ps2 version... atleast in my theory./..

no hard feeling.. i am entirely new in this area...

guys who have 2.10 firmware???

please all ps3 owners update to 2.10 firmware... to play divx files ( ya i know wht u think .. u can play @xx0 movies)

U

i have got the 60GB version with all those 3 proccys

!

3 proccys ??? wht is that ???

U

cell,emotion engine and the ps1 chip i.e. it is backward compatible with all titles that the firmware supports.

wht is emotion engine dude ???

naveen_reloaded said:
wht is emotion engine dude ???

Sony's GFX Processor .

Used in PS2 n PS3 .

thats nice ... to know..

wht games u have??

naveen_reloaded said:

wht games u have??

I've got a 360 . Games i currently have , Dead or Alive 4 . Burnout Revenge , Godfather , Project Gotham Racing 3 , Forza Motorsport 2 .

how is pgr3 ????

Complex but fun , gives you the thrill of driving a real car while at the same time pulling off stunts.

PS: It's not as detailed as Forza , coz Forza even shows Tye Pressure , Engine Heat , Momentum Distribution , et all .

Seems more of rocket science .

But if you want the most precise Driving Simulation on a Console , Forza Motorsport has to be it .

Will be planning to get the PS3 mostly by mid this year along with a 22" LCD monitor to connect it to.Just waiting for the price to go down a bit.Then hopefully would join the PS3 club.

today i saw a news that upcoming ps3 80 gb+ meata gear solid 4 = 499$
thats around 20k... cheaper than mine ...may be its only for U.S...

lets see...
if thats the case then allwyndlima.. u better wait and get it ...

Yeah I am actually waiting for the 80GB model to make it into India officially.If the price is within affordable range then will definetly go for it.But my mind has almost been fixed for it.Just hope I can save up enough for the purchase.Won't have enough money to spend on an HDTV so hope the LCD monitor suffices.

no buy a good LCDTV with support for HD ... ie with 1080 ....
and get 40 gb....
40 gb is more than enough...

nothing changes between them.. except for memory card slot.. but u canuse external multiple card reader for this purpose... no problem.. i am using my k850 as a mass storage...

The 60GB ones have reported to have a bit of 'Spin of death' issues,as they call it.There have been a few instances reported of Blu Ray games not being read by these versions of PS3 over 360indians.com & recently one of my friend too tasted the same thing.Which is why I am a bit hesitant.Not that I don't have it in mind but will eventually get one which is suitable for my budget.

As far as the HDTV is concerned a full 1080p compliant one would cost you a bomb.Plus my parent would be using it most of the time & I don't watch much TV these days so it would practically be of no use.With a PC monitor I can use it both way i.e. for normal PC use & PS3.

good thinkin...

ur call..

tell us when u have bought one ...

Rather go for a 26" LCD with 720p Support .

720p right now if enuf . 1080p is an overkill considering the price point they're sold at .

amitava82 said:

Games releasing now can be used with the keyboard and mouse of the PS3. For example UT3 has support for it. So you can play exactly like you do on your PC.

^^ ya the only problem is they should be bluetooth KB and mice... ( i think even usb is supported .. but dont know for sure)

and they are pricey..

is there any cheap andreliable bluetooth KB and MC

@allwyn, don't bother with the display right now. Just get your PS3 first. Buy the display later when the price of an HD ready set comes within your reach. Till then just play some PS2 games on your PS3 on your current tv.

^^ i agree...

but if u are getting a lcd one .. try to get a model which supports 1080.. coz it will be future proof...

but if ar nly gona buy ps3.. then go for max.. or say go for 60gb.. coz gb doesnt matter as u can swap those with 120 gb or more later...

anybody got burnout paradise ??

need some help here ...

anyone ???

Most shops also don't stock PS3 games + Payin 2.7k for a game that costs 1.5k on 360 is even more a reason .

i have pre ordered GT5 and MGS4 for ps3...and GOW2 for Xbox360..

Thats awesome. My next buy will be a action game...
And will wait till ps3 is cracked...cant spend 2.5k ..way out of my budget

U

well navin u shud better get Devil May Cry 4 if u wanna play action game. check the review at gamespot.

or you can buy Ninja Gaiden Sigma . Hack n slash FTW .

guys suggest a game u played in ps3 ... to say the best game ever played in ps3.. leave thereviews...

U

lets see..

anyone gota bluray movie ???

U

i'm thinking of getting I robot or POTC 3 or something like that. but i don't know where to buy them

!

yeah there isnt a specialsed store who stock these games...

I am gonna buy PS3 tommrow

cost around 24,000 and sony LCD TV (90,000) but confused in LCD TV which model could be better any suggestion please. one more thing can i use my Creative inspire 5.1 channel (analog) Speakers if not how to connect it to PS3 any decoder available creative

If you want extra clarity and money is not a problem...then go for sony...or else samsung bordeux series will save money and clarity will also be good...
Mine is 40 inch bordeax series...
Yes there are decoder...available in sony world itself...assuming you are getting your PS3 in sony world... It starts at cost of 5k...
But i am not sure whethe you can get decoder or say av recieves separately...

^^Dude whats the cost of your 40" LCD TV? Is it FullHD or HD ready?

Mine is 76k...
No its not a full hd tv..
Full hd version are very costly...shoots beyond 1L...
Only source right now for full hd is PS3...and that too hd ready silk do wonder...so its safe to get a hd ready tv than spending money on full hd

I'd rather buy a 42" or a 55" Projection Television than an LCD Panel .

Sony's both are 720p and 42" costs 60k and 55" 80k .

But isnt it better to go for a higher resolution model...which would be future proof too..

how much is the clarity in projection television ?
Are these the ones:
*www.sony.co.in/productcategory/tvp+3lcd+projection+tv?site=hp_en_IN_i

I think but not sure,projection tv will be similar to normal tv but you get a very good screen size where normal tv cant...and clarity will e good but not hd kind as in lcd
I am not sure,..

HI ya all pals need help on some thing hope you co-operate .........

i am gonna go for a psp. I have one question to ask

Shall i go for Normal one or the slim one.

I don't feel the need of DVI-out. Is there some other diffrence in them.
Will it matter on the performance of PSP. Heard PSP slim is having more RAM. IS it true ??????????

or shall i go for a PS2 please comment

Go for PSP slim...its very light and design is slightly modified. .. To be more comfortable...
For ps2, i suggest you go for PS3...
Ps2 is ages old...but nice thing is it has loads of games...and its cracked...
But my BEST bet is, if you wat the BEST in gaming go for PS3. Period!
PSP is for mobile gamers

Problem is that I heard that On PSPSlim Firmware version you can't load the ISO donwloaded. Is that true. And yes PS3 prices are sky rocketing

I dont know but my friends are playing downloaded version's only...
PS3 price have come down now...when it was introduced it was 40k and its around 25k and BEST thing is with next firmware of 2.20 its gona support BD LIVE....making PS3 only player in world to support so...

the normal one has a better grip than the slim.
the slim is almost flat.
custom firmware is available for the psp slim but i dont think it will run iso games

I personally don't find any difference between a 7209 LCD Panel or a Projection Panel .

My friend has the 55" Version of the sony one and Burnout Revenge just looks awesome on it . Also , it has a resolution of 1280 x 720 which is enuf and very good VFM right now .

gta vice city on 9 ft screen

this is how i'd like to game....someday, on 9 ft screen :))

9 ftscreen?????

^projector

I always fancy a LCD monitor with HDMI, DVI and VGA

input. I do not know why

but is the clarity the same compared to lcd and a projector..

i always wanted to get a projector... cheap/ can have larger screen size / compact/

correct me if i am wrong..

does projector equals a LCD in terms of resolution ???

Aren't projector resolutions very low compared to a monitor's?

I got one and it just does 800x600. Use it for Movies but its useless otherwise, needs a large distance and also is too huge to get comfortable working with.

I have seen a Epson proj of 1280*800.
And they cost 65k+

^^^ thats really nice..

PS3 update version 2.20 has been released...
It brings more video formats compatibility to PS3...so if you want nearly all of those downloade videos to play...update to this version...

Thats good news.So which all new formats does it support now?

I find Xbox 360 Graphics much more smooth and better looking than PS3 , Xbox has much betetr frae rates and is smoother, maybe because of the huge amout of bandwidth it has given to the GPU , PS3 only has 22GB/s while XBox 360 has 200GB/s +.

It doesn' depend how poerful your processor is it depends how well it has been installed and tweaked.
PS3 :Cell- 8 Cores- 3.2Ghz
Xbox 360 : Xenos - 3 cores-3.2Ghz

Xbox 360 is found to be giving more AA, Motion blur and more vivid colors, but Textures in PS3 are sharper.
I think Xbox 360 is a betetr entertainment package, it's an entertainmet hub,
:Can connect to PC, MEdia center........etc etc...but even PS3 can do some of these things
I love the browser of PS3 and ability to connect 2.5'' HDD and Mouse support in PS3.
But sadly you cannot play AVI on PS3 yet

but XBox 360 has patched in optional media update.
I find it hard to imagine games using more than 2 cores in consoles, It ws found that generally games used only 50% of a core and 10~20% of second. many cores are left useless. Maybe this is the reason for the loss the Sony company is facing, I have heard it sels for about US$300~400 loss per console. and Xbox seems to suffering some loss due to Piracy :\ :shock:

Well Xbox 360 and PS3 both are dying consoles, PS3 specially(until they get any good titiles)......Both cos. are rumored to be working on new console....

Well both Consoles are equally wonderful and have their own ups and downs......
But i prefer Xbox 360 as it is a better value for money....those who got RRODs they didn't care much for their console........I keep all mY consoles in a well ventilated place, PS3, Xbox 360 and even ps2

I love playing RPG and GOW3 and action games on PS but FPS and Fast paced Sports and Action games to xbox due to it's controller layout... and Forcefeedback which PS lacks(PS3)...

Buh Bye. We dun care at all!!!

ow, if you compare PS2 launch titles to later games like Final Fantasy XII, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Gran Turismo 4, and God of War II, it's like you're comparing titles on two completely different platforms. The reason for this, as everyone already knows, is because developers had a terrible time getting accustomed to the new architecture. They complained bitterly at the launch of the system, so it's no surprise that it took five or six years for the PS2 to start pumping out the truly brilliant-looking games. Now, these same developers complained in much the same fashion when the PS3 launched, but this time around, Sony appears to have offered much more in the way of help to third-party developers, and first-party developers are really excelling. In direct comparison, we can't say the visuals in late-gen Xbox games looked that much different than Halo, and again, the reasons are obvious: developers loved how accessible the system was, and many claimed to be able to access much of the system's capability from the start. Again, that same thing happened with the 360, which is why we really haven't seen anything too massive in the way of visual leaps. Sure, Gears of War 2 looks amazing, but not significantly more amazing than the original. And some studios are even claiming they've already maxed out the 360, which you can choose to believe or not (we won't comment; we're not developers). On the flip side, Killzone 2 is absolutely the best-looking game of the generation (just trust us on this), and Guerilla has said they have not gone as far as they can with the PS3. Combine this with David Jaffe's comments concerning what he has seen of God of War III, and what we can probably expect in terms of visuals from other exclusives (Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, etc.)...and well, it seems quite clear.
From here on out, you will see the visual gap between the PS3 and 360 widen. It's basically inevitable, as Sony and more importantly, developers, have been saying since the start of the generation. Multiplatform titles will probably continue to look mostly the same across both consoles, but it's becoming clearer that if you let devs off the chain and dive into the PS3 without having to worry about the 360, they can really create something dazzling. Last generation, when the Xbox launched, its launch software put most PS2 games to shame (graphically). But by the time the generation was over, the aforementioned PS2 titles competed quite favorably with the best the Xbox has to offer. This time around, I think we're seeing an earlier-than-expected acceleration of the PS3's power, and the future exclusives will prove that Sony absolutely has the visual edge this time around. The only question is, how far will they push the gap...?
