Thanks for the advice. He never took it online once - so it's downloading an update ... sheez ...

A couple questions ...

1. Can it download demos and watch a Blu Ray movie at the same time?
2. I am used to the PSP XMB - are there any real differences?
3. I had component cables with my PS2 - and according to the manual, the component cables CAN DO 1080p ... but what's the difference between that and an HDMI cable?

Not really a question, but I snagged Motorstorm and Resistance off eBay. Now, I wanna try out Uncharted and try Ratchet and Clank again. And is there an adapter to use my PS2 DS controllers on this system?

Thanks for your help!

 1. Yes, it can do that.

2.  I have not used the PSP, but I think they are supposed to be more or less the same.

3.  I don't think you get "true" 1080p with component cables, but I don't even know what that means because i have never used HDMI myself and have never dealt with a 1080p TV.  HDMI will definitely give you a more quality signal though.

You can't use DualShocks unless you buy some weird 3rd party adapter. 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Genji- terrible game that looks pretty.

You can download stuff while playing PS3 games or Blu Ray movies, but not during PS2 games or DVDs.

There's a Pelican PS2 to PS3 adapter that works even with non Sony DS2s on your PS3.

If you are going to buy an HDMI cable buy it at monoprice.com for much cheaper than the official Sony one.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

You can play Blu-ray movies and Blu-ray games (PS3) while downloading, but for a PS2/PS1 game or DVD it will stop the download.
