Forums - Sony - How much of the PS3's abilities do you use?

anyone that owns a PS3 and does not do the Folding at Home should be shot! It's searching for a cure for cancer. You dont have to even be playing the system for it to do it, you just set it up, unhook it from the tv but let it stay plugged to a power outlet, then finish what you were doing.

DO FOLDING AT HOME PEOPLE!!!!

you can go to the college official site to check up on there progress. My issue is it is for a really good cause and it does not take much out of each persons time. I do not do it every day, but I do do it at least once every two weeks. At least I do it.

And if the PS3 is the cause for the cure for cancer i would just shit myself. That would be so facking awsome you have no idea! Next time I get into a fanboy argument I would just say "MY SYSTEM CURES CANCER!!! WHAT DOES YOURS DO?" lmao

there is no comeback for that....

  Unleash The Beast!  

End of 2011 Sales: Wii = 90mil, 360 = 61mil, PS3= 60mil

Yes to all but 2.
1. No to Windows/Linux
2. Only moded the HD

How I find the PS3;

*Awesome sound!
The PS3's a beast as a multimedia hub! The Music media/sound is the best.

*DVD player/upscaler is the best!
I tested with a friend, [as he did not believe it], the PS3' and 360's DVD player/upscaler side by side. We used the same cables, 2 of the same TV's and 2 of the same DVD's [Rush Hour 3, for the great colour]. The results were; The PS3 had more natural colour with no bleeding. The PS3 had very little noise in the picture and was a bit crisper. The 360 had too much unnatural colour.

*Blu-ray player is very good.
Firmware upgradeable and very good picture and sound.

*Photo media is awesome!
Why have your photo's on a PC in a small room when u can run them in the living room on a big HD TV!

*XMB
Bravo SONY! The use of custom made XMB's are great too.

*Folding Home
Another awesome feature.

*Browser
I am using my PS3 now for this. We need a flash player update from Adobe tho, it's very dated.

PS3 ROX!
