5 can be done on 360 to. Also 7 will void your warranty. And 11 was a cheap shot but funny nonetheless. A pity you cant use Media Centre. I stream everything from HD movies to images through my network. I can watch my HD copy of The Matrix on 920 GB pc HDD on my 42" HDTV without cables or a disc. Streamed to my 360. Oh yes.
Upgrading your hard drive doesnt void the warranty. Sony purposely made it like that.

 I can also stream music wirelessly to my PS3 also, and videos. I can also copy songs from windows mediap layer to my ps3, which on 360 you cant do. You need a CD.Yea baby yea.

7 does not void your warrantee.

Um it does if you open the console yourself. You break the seal. Also Non Sony endorsed. I think Doh is in order. 

 


 Not Sony endorsed? Then why the hell did they include the instructions on how to do it in the PS3's box?

It surprises me that some things you can do with windows and ps3 you can't do with windows and 360 , considering 360 and Windows come from the same company. :?



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil

Why is this called tricks sony doesn't tell you? I'm pretty sure Sony has mentioned most of them. Some of them are even in the PS3 manual



Yes

I don't think these are really tricks and I'm pretty sure that some of these were even advertised (ex- multiple windows) while some are even in the manual (hard drive replacement).

Anyway, you are somewhat wrong on the game sharing one. It's not EVERYTHING downloaded from the store, but I think it's everything under a certain price or something like that. You could share the Warhawk add-on's, but not Warhawk itself I believe.

LOL no they're saying what you said was wrong, number 7 WON'T void the warranty, you never mentioned anything about breaking it in your first post.

I would like to add that there is an HDD area on the left side of the console. This little peice of plastic can be removed to reveal the hard drive bay area. You are in no way cracking open the actual shell of the case.

I guess a guide with pictures would be a little bit easier to explain.

#2 is in the manual, I'm sure of it.

At my home I use HDTV with HDMI cables, when i brought it to my cottage with my 480i tv, I did this so I could play.
