I've had a number of games (Dead Space and MLB 09 come to mind immediately) that although they will play in 1080P, it defaults to 720P. If you uncheck the 720P option in the Video Settings in the XMB, it should load up as 1080P. However, whenever you go back to a 720P only game with 720P...

As a followup, I did receive credit for the 5th game today. Don't quite understand the delay, but it all turned out ok in the end as I was able to get the trade in credit applied to my release day delivery NHL 12 :D

I'm in a similar spot - I sent in 5 games, they were received last Friday. I was given credit for 4 of them on Wednesday, the 5th showed up as not received. All were shipped in the same package. So, I contacted Amazon customer service, and they advised I wait another couple days - if I don't...

Tried it for a while last night, and it was ok. My problem is that no matter what resolution or detail level I selected, it ran at about a fringe-playable 20-25fps. My rig is a 955BE/4870's in crossfire/4GB, and I was able to play BFBC2 pretty well maxed out at 1080P at 50-60fps. My vid card...

I feel your pain, man. But it's worth it to sit down with my 7 & 10 yr old boys and play some rock band or modnation or LBP. With enough badgering we usually get Mom to join in too :D

Up until inFamous 2, I would have agreed. The fact Amazon had no deal attached makes me wonder where they're going with the program. Was it simply a case of noone else (Wal-Mart) having any comaprable online pre-order credit offer ? Or maybe Amazon was testing the waters to see how the lack of...

Cancelled my Brink pre-order yesterday. The possibility that no online play is available for the immediate future was a deal-breaker. I've been able to keep myself occupied with Portal2 and MK over the outage, but I'm finding myself on the PS3 less and less. While I don't believe Sony owes us...

Thanks OP! Totally forgot about the code - picked up a 360 for the kids for x-mas, and the best deal I could find in January was $40 for a 12 mo card which didn't use this promo. Tacking on another year for $34 is a no-brainer.

I read somewhere (no link, sorry) that mlb.tv and hulu users cannot sign in, because somewhere along the line, PSN sign in became required in order to access the service. Older, unupdated programs (i.e. Netflix) created before the PSN sign in became mandatory still work.

Except it's not free - it's more of a 'hey consumer, if you buy our games and hardware, we'll provide the network to play them on' deal. I know legally Sony has no obligation to keep the PSN online, but the PSN is still a service they're providing to their paying customers. Sure the service is...

Bumping to issue a congratulations to the CAG PS3 NHL11 team for getting back to .500! 7 months and 909 games later, we're sitting at 411-411-87. To be honest I never thought it'd happen, as we dug ourselves a pretty deep hole early on. Persistence pays off, I guess...

Sorry about the early drop out last night - I should be clear tonight though. Hope to be on after 10 CST for the playoff run, if we didn't try last night. I'm thinking the rashes of disconnects were due to other teams making their playoff runs - so if they get a player numbers mismatch in the...

Combine that info with this for figuring out how to build a player: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AkWJJDzPiH40dFRJMVdhbXp6MW5BcUd5clhLRkFVRkE&hl=en&authkey=COrghu4B# I'm of the opinion anymore that there so many variables at play, between attributes, player builds, and size, that...

I think if we match up 4 on 4 with most anybody, we're in good shape. There are so many ways a CPU d-man can be taken advantage of by a 5 man team it's ridiculous. They're easy to deke around, they hold the puck too long, they often turn it over in horrible position, etc. And in a playoff...

Good games last night. Felt like we were starting to get back into form over the last few games. It seemed like our puck possession was better and we were just playing smarter on the whole. Are we looking to try a playoff run tonight? I'll be on probably after 11 CST. One thing we should do...
