I haven't seen a game patch online. I assume it can be done, but not sure if we'll see it. I mean, if people can download mods for UT3, I think it's possible, just whether it's done.

Sucks you are without internet. I'd go crazy if I was in that situation.

Demos cannot be copied for sure. It's for protection.

thanks. well damn looks like I'm gonna have to take my PS3 around for random downloads etc.

Everywhere I look I only see 40GB versions of a new PS3. Is there any official word of more releases? I want to use my stimulus check to buy a PS3, but don't want to buy the 40GB and then have a better version released a month later.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Would someone be interested in walking me through the media server process? I've followed the directions, and the PS3 still can't find the PC.

360? No problems. PS3? Can't do it. Unless there's a specific port that the PS3 wants to see, I don't think it's a router issue.

Have you enabled media sharing in WMP11? Another quirky problem was that you must put the files in your shared video folder...Holla back if neither of those work.

Edit- To be more clear, right click on the files u wanna share in WMP and there should be an option callede sharing or something of the sort

For some reason when I did it this time, it worked without any issue.

Now I'm sitting at my computer enjoying music on my PSP from my PC through the PS3.

Weird, huh?

I wish I could do this with my phone over data.

Well glad its working...Now I have a question for everyone for once...Ive been looking into increasing my WiFi range so I can play PS3 online in my garage/guest house. Ive been thinking of several products, but cannot find anything undor 70 bucks. I am really not interested in spending more than $40, so any suggestions?

This has a HDMI output I believe, which goes to the TV in one of the 3 HDMI inputs and also goes to the cable box through AV cables so that cable gets surround sound. I'm not sure how I would hook up the PS3 to this system to get it to work in surround sound, is anyone sure? I could link you the two items if wanted to find out for sure. EDIT: Surround sound : http://www.amazon.com/Sony-BRAVIA-DA...0080250&sr=8-1 TV: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-t...-32306311.html

Looking at all that, I need more advice because I only got 1 response. I am thinking of buying an HDMI splitter.

To be exact. I need to connect 1 plug into the PS3 with 2 plugs going out of it, 1 into the HDTV HDMI port and another into the home theater system HDMI port. But it seems like those reviews are confusing as on monoprice. I was curious if someone can explain to me what I need to get my surround sound working on my PS3 at home with this setup. I already have 1 Male to Male HDMI cable now.

Please help...

Ensure that it has an optical input (call your mom/dad). The only other option I see would be using the cables sony supplies with the ps3 to hook up to your surround sound

You're not going to get true 5.1 from your PS3 on that stereo. You can use the normal rca stereo jacks (red white ones) to get stereo sound but that's about it. The receiver does have an hdmi port but that is for output on the built in dvd player not a/v input.

Is there any way to turn off the sounds for certain themes? I like some of the themes, but the sound effects RUIN them.

If you mean the noise when you navigate the XMB (I don't use themes so I don't know if there are any other sounds), you can turn it off under "Settings >> Sound Settings >> Key Tones".

With the "Disc auto play" setting turned on, is there a way to start the PS3 without loading the disc that time?

My family uses the PS3 as a movie player, so to keep things simple I turned on auto play so that any time they put in a disc it would play it immediately. However sometimes I just want to go to the XMB even though there's a disc inside.

I was hoping doing something like keeping the PS button held down turing startup would help, but no dice.

I need help. I just moved home from college and my PS3 is connected via HDMI to the TV I have here:

It worked no problem on my 20inch 1080p HDTV at school, but now I have strange problem on this TV. Audio works fine, but the picture flickers and is hard to explain, but every few seconds/minutes the picture will flicker and a mirror image will be placed on the screen somewhere. Basically, it's bein ed up. I can't tell if it is the HDMI connection and have no other way to test that, or anything else.

Can anyone help me?

Hi;

yesterday I install a PS3 on my 1080i TV with a HDMI cable. When I turn on the TV and the PS3 the only thing I see is statics. I really frek out. but then when I pres "X" on the control the game stars everuything goes normal and I can play the game. So I conclude that, for any reason I can not see only the meny of the PS3 (the one that appears with out a game).
I think it something with the set-up. I havent connect the RCA cables yet. I would like to see it only on HDMI.

have anyone have any idea?

Thanks

just recently got a 60 gb ps3 and i was wondering what games everyone thinks are the best for the system?

I'm surprised no one has answered this. As for right now, there is only the 40 GB model on the market (why, I don't know). If you want an 80GB, wait for the MGS4 bundle, I believe it'll be out on 6-12 and is one I would definitely recommend waiting for.
