I'm surprised how few people knew about these things. Good to spread the word then.

To every one about the PS3 HDD thing. I am 100% wrong! Sorry guys I guess I should have taken my own advice and done research first. It is in the PS3 manual that it DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR WARRANTY. My bad guys. Very sorry.:)

Also @ Captain Preferences why would I need to copy the songs from MP and take up room on my HDD when I can stream them. I have 45 GB worth of songs.

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.

None of those are new, they have all been around since launch, and are easy to find out, so really they aren't "Tricks that Sony doesn't tell you"

A LOT of these are actually in the documentation ... not that many people read through that stuff but it's a lie to say the info isn't there.


[edit: (Deleted a mildly insulting rant)  Whoops, forgot to refresh.  And I spotted my error before I saw your response to me, selnor.  Just so ya know.   But I do appreciate getting corrected when I DON'T see the error of my ways, so I'm not annoyed or anything.  It'd be pretty hypocritical if I was, anyway.]

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

How can you download game saves off the internet onto a 360?

Xbox360 Transfer Kit, Xbox360 Xport, and Xbox360 XSATA (From Datel [codejunkies.com]) Let you do that.

Wher did I say you cant. PS3 works best with TVersity. Thats what you need installed on your pc to get full advantage of PS3 and pc. I was on about media centre. People kinda use it on PS3 but it buggers up. Hence TVersity. If you can answer a question for me, can you stream HD content from PC to PS3 or just standard video? Genuine ? guys.
