Forums - Sony Discussion - Bringing the best out in your ps3

kingofwale on 08 June 2008

I use it to watch all my movies. I attached a 320GB external HDD drive to it and watch DIVX or AVI format movie through PS3 onto my big screen TV.

Too bad it doesn't play MKV format, nor does it accept anything but FAT, else it'd be a perfect all-in-one for me.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

I need to get a blu-ray player so I was thinking of getting one since they are pretty much the cheapest player you can get(barring any sales). But I really don't want to since I am not interested in any of the games coming out. I wish players weren't so damned expensive.

Im a luddite, VHS all the way baby! I distrust Betamax and all other Sony formats. Why if I had my way... I would take a crate full of shoelaces to Sony HQ and blindfold every one of them.


 LOL, I love me some movies though dude, and VHS just doesn't cut it.


Watching films on the VHS is like that brown filter thats on the PS3 GTAIV. It may have a lower resolution but it just LOOKS better mmmk?



Tease.

I use the PS3 for all the features you listed, only for webbrowsing at this point I still prefer to use a PC, but I do appreciate this feature.

PS3 vs 360 sales

I use it for Games, Blu Ray, and Music on occasion.

Hmm...maybe thats the way to go then.

I use it for photos, music, Blu-ray movies, gaming(PS1, PS2, PS3.) I also use the web browser alot(don't have a PC/laptop), though it's pretty weak-it freezes many, many times on some sites-especially on VGChartz, and I have to clear my history every time I go to Kotaku, though I've never had any problems with Joystiq. I download vids from Gametrailers and Gamespot alot. I've used the video chat a couple times with some relatives in Greece, but that's rare since I was only borrowing the PSEye(or whatever it's called), but I will buy one soon. I also plan on upgrading the HD to 320 gigs(this 60 gigger filled up fast.)

I wish it had better compatibility with the iPod, but cest la vis. I also wish they'd bring that DVR thing from the EU to the US(though Iunderstand there are reasons they can't.)

Overall, though, it's an awesome value as a poor man's entertainment hub, especially when you consider that they can update it via download to increase the features or improve existing ones. I love my PS3!

Primarily for PS3 games (including PS store downloads of all types) > watching Blu-ray/DVD movies and streaming content from my PC > playing PS2 games > card reader > web browsing and chatting ... too bad this thing doesn't cook or clean !

I have used all the parts of the PS3, I just have to figure out why Tversity doesnt want to connect to my PS3 anymore. =/

I use it for blu-ray, DivX and occasionally games.

I don't really find it practical to use it for music and photos since I have a computer with tons of that 4 feet away, and I'd rather use the Wii for web browsing.
