How do the PSOne classics like FF look upscaled on a 1080p HDTV?

So does anyone know if you can still send your dead PS3 to Sony and pay 150 or whatever for a slim?

After having a replacement laser die within a week I'm giving up on this old fatty.

The same.

I have a couple questions:

I have never used my ps3 online, don't have a psn account. I have firmware 3.5.

Will my trophies "sync" once I sign up online? Or will I have to redo everything?

I have the original uncharted, but the trophies are not on my system (since it was a download patch). Does anyone know if the ESA pack or GH version comes with the trophies on the disc?

Yes, once you've gotten your trophy profile linked up with your new PSN account, it will sync your trophies when you check your trophy progress. Be warned: the first time, the sync will take quite a while... when I transferred all of my data from my old PS3 to my new and re-synced the trophies, it took about 45 minutes. After that, it only takes about 10 seconds per sync.

On a related note, I think that there is another firmware update beyond v3.5.

I believe so.

It's up to 3.56. 3.56 is confirmed to contain a rootkit. I'd stick with 3.55 or below.

Well, I upgraded my PS3 slim's hard drive to a Samsung Spinpoint 500gb 5400rpm. And it seems I was right that my hard drive was the cause of the poor performance. Either my hard drive crapped out or I pushed it too hard (only had for over a month). I ing hate Toshiba.

You upgraded on firmware 3.56? I thought it was preventing that.

Ok, so I just got a new 160gb to replace my old one that died. I'm noticing that one of the fans makes a very slight buzzing sound (only noticeable when I put my ear to the console). The noise increases quite a bit as the console heats up, but it's nothing thats unbearable. Is this normal? My old 120gb never used to make this noise.

My PS3 40 gig HD is full. I plan to use my PS3 online, but I have never connected or made an account.

If I delete the "saved games data" will it mess up my game saves?

More importantly will my trophies be OK?

There's another 3.56 optional download that fixes the problem with installing a new hd and formatting it for the slims. Though it requires you to do this with the default drive not yet wiped.

The ones out of luck are those that took out their default drive and wiped it clean of the PS3 formatting and no longer have a ps3 formatted drive to dl the 3.56 optional version.

ok wait what?

your trophies will be fine. I'm not even sure you CAN delete your trophy data. Don't delete your game saves. delete your GAME DATA not your SAVED DATA.

Gamedata is all the stuff like game updates and harddrive installs and stuff. Save Data is your progress. Save data barely takes up any space.

Ok Thank you! I have only played 6 or 7 games, so I figured I could wipe the Gamedata, but I wanted to double check before I do it.

I am looking to buy one of those headsets with surround sound and a mic. Ive been looking at the turtle beach ones, are those any good? any suggestions? Thanks!

NO, do not get Turtle Beach. I've bought two on the same pair of DPX21 and returned both promptly. They pick up noise easily from computers and when hooked up to the PS3, there is still background noise, especially when there are moments of no sound.

no problem check it out before you do anything. When you 'hover' on say your infamous saves it shows you your progress. when you over on your Haze install data it says "Install data" the former is a few thousand KB and the later is almost 2 gigs.

whats a good to get then? thanks!

I can't really say which is best. But overall, gaming headsets are very gimmicky. Although they focus on chatting and sound location, sound quality suffers.

The only other options that meet your requests would be triton ax720 or astro mixamp w headset.

Personally, I haven't tried the ax720s. There have been mixed reviews and reports of breaking down, but overall greater amount of positive ones. I do have the astro mixamp (older version). Sound quality is as good as you can get with Dolby Headphone (virtual surround sound), and there is no noise issue at least with my Sony MDR 7506 headphones until you crank the sound to the maximum volume levels. Though the major con is the extremely high price tag.

Hey can someone add a FAQ to the PlayStation Plus to this thread or OP?

I was thinking about doing 3 months subscription (or just buying the 3 month PlayStation Plus card at Best Buy) but a co-worker said if you cancel subscription then you lose access to all your stuff..
Does that include the extra crap you buy with discounts from the store, or just the free games and demos?

Also do they still have the dead if you buy a year do you get the 3 months free?

ended up gettin these bad boys.. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Tritton+...&skuId=9466133 , all i can saw is AWEEESOME!! haha
