Playstation 3

Why is everyone so bitter about the PS3?

admin — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 06:12:50 +0000

Every time anyone asks a question about a PS3 everyone starts banging on about how rubbish it is, and how good the Wii is. Why? Personally i think it's jealousy.

The Wii is just a fad. It will die out in like a year. The xbox 360 will die out in about 1-3 years given the tech advances. The ps3 will last you a good 6+ years because of its tech advances. Sure the price tag is 599 for a blu-ray hd player, 60gb (easily upgradable) hdd w/ wireless Internet, open platform and expanded memory slots (via usb/sd/cf/etc.) But look at how much you would spend just to get that all on the xbox 360 (more than $600 for sure). I would know because I have both. Also for both of the systems to operate at full performance you would need a HDTV 1080p but will work with SDTVs and other low res HDTVs. My suggestion to all, cut back on spending for the 360 and save for that PS3 (purchase next year) because you wont be disappointed.

Windows Vista on the PS3, Qemu 0.9.1 Bios Rev 1.171

admin — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:30:09 +0000

It’s a 100% PS3 based emulation of Microsoft Windows Vista. Its super slow, but it works.

Song: Seether- The Gift
Installed On Xubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04

How To:
-Install Qemu 0.9.1

-Use vlite to shrink a Vista Image, and apply the 256mb memory patch

-Install Vista on your Computer using the vlite image with Qemu and Bochs Bios Rev 1.171 by sshwarts (It took my computer 12 hours.)

-Copy the .IMG Made from Bochs/Qemu to your PS3’s HDD

-Open Terminal where the Vista IMG is located

-type qemu -hda vista.img -m 256 -L “Location to Rev 1.171 directory, Drag n Drop” -cpu pentium3

It will take about 25 min to fully boot (network connection and audio show up)

Is the Playstation 3 Region Free? Will an american PS3 work in the United Kingdom?

admin — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:20:41 +0000

Is the playstation 3 region free, if i bought one in america would it work in england? Is it compatible with english games?

For movies - no, it will only play region A
For games yes.

Getting a region A player ain't bad, I have one, about to get my second. They are superior to region B players as:

a) you get the movie earlier (earlier release date)
b) it's cheaper (usually by about 40%)
Movies are like 40AUD here v 20ish USD there so if you buy like even one from amazon, you save a few dollars.

You have to import your titles from the states though, minor inconvienience in my opinion.

I'd never recommend a region B or C player to anyone.
My 2 cents.

But if you're NEVER going to play a blu-ray disc movie, and can beat around 500USD on price (buying from uk) then go for the uk version.

What is the best TV to buy to play xbox360 and ps3?

admin — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:20:35 +0000

im going to buy a LCD tv and i want to know what tv i should get so i could play my ps3 n my xbox360. by the way the tv have to have 1080p and that have 120hz. But im not sure if 120Hz refresh rate is the same as 12hz motion flow.

The best TV that you will find in most retail stores would be the Sony XBR, or Samsung A650 series. Both TV's will have 1080p resolution and 120hz.

BTW..120hz refresh rate is the same as 120hz motion flow.

Crysis for PS3?

admin — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:20:31 +0000

Does anyone know if, and when, Crysis will come out for the PS3. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The company who is making crysis said they would consider making it for the consoles if the pc version sold well so it depends on if the pc version sells well or not. but i dont think it would come out for awhile anyway since they havent started it yet.
