I'd spend an extra few $s and go for the engerizer one I posted before:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8965943&type=product&id=1218007401533
Seems to get awesome reviews and also plugs into an outlet, not a USB plug on the PS3....
How do you like the thumb keyboard?
stopped by bestbuy today and picked up the sony keypad for the controller...and sure enough simpsons game is only 20 bucks. Ill keep my eye out for it dropping to 10 on sale i think...or see if gamestop sells used ones for 10.
I wasnt too keen on any of the controller chargers they had...i want to find a sony one like this: https://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665736376
more simple

jury still out on the thumb keyboard, didnt have much time last night to mess around with it. I love the way it clips to and integrates with the controller....not sure that it is super convenient to type on while holding the controller normally, and I dont know if the tactile feel is as good as it could be. Buttons seem kinda slippery and are very smooth so you can easily slip off one and hit another tiny nearby button it would seem. I will let you know once I use it a little.
As for the charger that sony charger plugs into the wall also. For me I am hoping to plug the charger into the outlet in the wall right behind my couch and then just bring a few mini-usb ends around to the end table or up over the back of the couch or something like that to plug the controllers into, so when the controllers are put away or in use there is no charging station sitting around. Just my personal preference.
Anyone know if you can use ANY usb charger for the controllers? i have a wall charger for my blackberry that uses the same mini-usb plug. Also there are a number of not playstation specific wall mini-usb chargers out there I am finding...

That thing just might be a good idea, considering the crappy "hook up a cable to your ps3 to charge your controller" idea. It's messy
evilmonkeyMSP
12-31-2008, 10:24 AM
hmmmm, I would check the PS3 forums on the charger question...I'd be interested to know too since I have a plethora of blackberry chargers myself lol

durr, cant get gaming links from work, ill have to check that when i get home.
as for the keypad. Just found this review on accident....would have been useful before purchase but oh well :)
http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/19/playstation-3-wireless-keypad-review/
Basically their wrap-up sounds like where my opinion was heading:
So, is it a useful gadget and, more importantly, is it worth your $50? Despite its annoyances it does what it advertises: it makes the process of entering text much easier than the alternative of using the D-pad. For heavy users of the PS3's messaging system or for anyone who has already spent hours pimping out their pad at Home (http://www.engadget.com/tag/home) in preparation of nights full of text-based discussions, it may be a worthwhile investment.
Compared to the Xbox 360's Chatpad it's a bit less comfortable and a bit more clumsy, but is much lighter and has less of an impact on the ergos of the controller. Ultimately we're not particularly fond of either device, and we're guessing that love for one over the other will more or less fall along party lines -- as most console gaming discussions do. The real deal-breaker here is that $50 price, which seems steep compared to the Chatpad's $30. For that we'd rather buy ourselves (most of) a new game and stick with a wireless USB keyboard.
since I dont want a USB keyboard in my living room (or a bluetooth one) this will be good for me, but maybe not good enough to get me to do all my web browsing from the couch :)

good info about the dish network usb, thats cool as I have a receiver thats always on. I was also just looking on some ps3 forums and it sounds like you can charge controllers in a computer or laptop also....but someone tried a direct wall charger and it didnt work

The buzzers use a USB connection, though, which is why they work for the PS3 and the PS2 :)

It's actually a third person shooter. Think something like resident Evil 4 in space. Great game by all accounts though. Not so much run and gun. More of a strategic dismemberment game.

You nailed the description. I tried the demo and got stressed out about it. I'm usually a run & gun style player, but also enjoy the tactical games like Rainbow Six. This just didn't do it for me. I felt very...trapped I guess is the best word. Which is probably what the developers were going for. Then again, I never was a big fan of the RE games either.

I believe they even included the black female ally as a way to squash the racist remarks going around. From what I've heard, she was not planned from the beginning.

Lord_Zath
01-16-2009, 06:28 PM
Madden 09 is NOT worth the 60. Wait for it to go on sale. As a matter of fact, there's a Gilette promotion w/Madden for $10 mail in rebate.
Simpsons can be found on sale for 10 from time to time.
Littlebigplanet has been on sale from time to time as well - I think I remember seeing it for $35 a while back. It'll definitely go on sale again.
Battlefield is a good deal at $20. Definitely pick that up. I play almost every night, so if you do get it, add me to your PSN friends list, and you can join the server I'm on/visa versa.

i dont know if I posted about this already but blitz did the same thing. I LOVE nfl blitz on the n64 (and all other platforms) so I saw they had a new blitz for ps3 and I was thinking oh man....the same ole blitz with better graphics? sweet!
Well not really.
They made the game infinitely more complex not in the realm of madden but almost as if they were trying to make a madden game and not a silly arcade game (which is what blitz has always been). It is way more complicated and difficult and I have only played it once...so totally not what I was hoping for when I made that purchase.
In old blitz I could be just about any team, call any play and snap the ball and then just run left with the turbo on and get some yards. In this new blitz it was difficult to simply "matriculate the ball down the field". More difficult I think than in madden.

question, We had something odd happen when trying to watch top gears on the PS3 from our PC. We've watched several episodes that way then all of a sudden ( for half of season 2 and all of season 3) we get an "Unsupported file" error when tring to watch episodes. but season 4 works fine and so on....they're all avi files so I dont get it...
any suggestions?
SleepyMSP
01-20-2009, 11:41 AM
it all depends on the encoding of the AVI file, the AVI is only the container it depends on the encoding inside the AVI (DIVX, XVID, etc...) only certian types of Divx and Xvid are supported on the PS3
...I did a bunch of checking on this too
evilmonkeyMSP
01-20-2009, 11:44 AM
hmmmm, any way to rectify this issue? convert them to a different file type or something?
slug420
01-20-2009, 11:53 AM
yes you could convert them all to a file type/codec that is supported.
In other news my video game spree has ended. Got Burnout Paradise from Sean, LittleBigPlanet, Lego Indiana Jones (had to have this after playing the demo), and the simpsons from ebay and downloaded/bought Crash Commando from PSN finally.
Only one I have so far is Crash Commando and it is SWEEEET! Its such a wild/new concept (to me). Great game so far especially for 10 bucks.
The only other games on the horizon for me are madden 09 when it gets really cheap and used copies are dirt cheap and CoD4 if I can find it really cheap. I have CoD5 and already played CoD4 on the PC when it first came out so I cant rationalize spending too much on it for the ps3.

there are a couple of applications you can pickup if you know to right places *hint*hint*
and from there its just google how to convert. It shouldn't be that hard but it is time consuming and you need a decent CPU to handle the load.
just be careful with the sound when demuxing as it can easily fall out of sync.
beyond that I can't help all that much as I defaulted to the "screw it I'm too lazy to do this"

I thought UPnP was supported by default in Windows. I use a different app in OSX just wondering what this offers over either of these options.
glyph
01-21-2009, 01:16 AM
Look into VirtualDub for video conversion on Windows platform. UPnP is never a completely reliable solution. You shouldn't even need it if both machines are hooked up to the same router. I'm pretty sure UPnP is only for communicating to sources external to your network. It shouldn't be an issue on your home network.

Media servers are application that allow you to connect your PS3 or other Upnp or DLNA protocol capable system to your computer to directly access your media files ( movies, music, pic, etc) , chances are you already have one set up if you have windows media player running on your computer and you have your PS3 connected to the network in your home
there are a few different versions of DLNA servers around personally I use MediaTomb (linux GNU based)
but a media server dosen't help in the paying of unsupported files though, unless this one is special

If sean didnt sell me his i would have absolutely picked it up for 20 bucks...I will note though that from what i have heard there is some expansion pack or deluxe version coming out soon (thus the price drop) and it includes ares like KITT and maybe the delorean from BTTF or the General Lee (the only one I remember reading about for sure was KITT...)

PMS will automatically transcode files that the PS3 doesn't support and stream it to the ps3. File browsing is super easy - no need to set up a library or anything like that. It'll allow your ps3 to play .mkv files, .vob, .flac (lossless audio), and more.

With Windows Media Player, the latest version, you can share your libraries. If your PS3 is on when you have your computer on, you can select it to see your library. Use the little arrow under "Library" and click Media Sharing. Configure it from there. I have both 360s, the PS3, and just about everything else selected.
My PS3 is mostly blu-ray. I don't play many games on it. I default to the 360 for gaming, and only certain games that are really good I get for the ps3. Resistance, MGS4, etc

lol, i guess for me it comes down to gamerscore. I like the concept, and it's fun to have those goals. The trophies... meh. I started earning them in LBP, then I changed my profile info (not my actual ID) and now it says all my trophies are locked out because I'm somehow magically someone else. So I went back to the old information, and still I'm someone else. I now have to start a whole new save game. Well, that kind of ruins the whole idea in my book. Sony says they know about it, and, well... too bad. so if I can play a game on either system, and I get something more out of one, I'll just lean that way, I guess. I'm kind of bummed, too, because I really expected the PS3 to be a major time sink.

Just FYI - they have fixed that bug. It was either a game patch or system update, can't remember which. Also the more trophies you earn the higher your overall "level" goes....which is essentially the same thing as a "gamerscore".

Generally I feel the same way.....but oddly enough I've gone back and replayed things over and over just to try to get some of the trophies. I'm not sure why....some were for the sense of accomplishment because they can be very tough to get, and other times I do it just cuz there's still a limited set of games that even have them and I do enjoy comparing my trophies to my online friends for some reason. I'm guessing that'll wear off once more and more people have a zillion trophies and are at "level 10" but for now it actually has gotten me to put in more time with some of my games. Like PixelJunk Monsters and Super Stardust - some of the trophies on those 2 games are fricken brutal. It's fun just seeing if you can do it. *shrug*

Level, Schmevel IMHO, but the trophies give insight to what you prefer to play.

I've been trying to get into Madden '09 (someone gave it to me as a gift) and I really can't. They've eliminated all the features I liked about the prior versions of Madden. The front office control where you set ticket/food prices has been neutered, you can't save up and build a new stadium anymore, the training modules have been cut and they all look like the movie tron, and gameplay is pretty boring. The commentary is weak, and the in game stats suck.
EA looks like they rushed it to production and forgot a lot of things that made the past Maddens fun. All that's left now is a hollow shell of a game with a bunch of fancy pre-snap controls and audibles.

for me they're a bit of a mark of how much time I can (or can't) put into gaming, but also another set of objectives not necessarily inherently in the game as played by the standard user. They can make a title last for more hours than originally planned, which makes the game more valuable, in my mind. Crackdown was an excellent example. The game has to be fun first, though. If it sucks, I won't waste any more time with it.

You get your own apartment, can decorate it, etc. I spent some time in the beta, and found, immediately, that it was a waste of time.

I cant remember offhand but is the PS3s power cord any different from a regular computer powercord?
I used a computer cord in another tv hutch so I could easily switch back and forth. So yeah, they're the same.

k :) I've been wanting to hook up the PS3 to our LG LCD 32" in our bedroom just to see how it looks. I have an HDMI cord already set up, just dont want to have to untangle the damn PS3 power cord from the downstairs entertainment center :D
I read online that when connecting HDMI cables you should make sure that all equipment is powered off, not turned off but that not electricity is getting to the units you are hooking up. Just food for thought.
ajpmp5 I beleive is my name thing on ps3 as well if anyone cares but im rarely on. I do need to get more ps3 games.

They released a "party pack" DLC that allows for locla multiplayer. TO be honest, it should've been included w/the game. Seriously - the most fun part of Burnout was always being able to blow stuff up in multiplayer matches. I got the game for $20, so I suppose paying another $15 or so wouldn't be that much of a crime...

I love burn out!! It's an easy trophy Maker!! i spent $8.00 on it, me and two of my friends split the cost of the D/L from the Playstation store. Its well worth it at $20.00! I only wish i could push on 06 MS6!!!!!

is that party pack really new? I heard somewhere that one of the reasons they dropped it to 20 bucks was because some kind of ultimate pack was coming out soon with some added features and new cars...is that the 15 dollar download or something else entirely?

Relatively speaking. Apparently it doesn't do splitscreen, though - just "pass the controller" style. Gay!

Well aware. I played burnout for a while when I first got my PS3 and I never had any trophies show up in my profile. I was wondering why you said it was an easy trophy maker.

They didn't add trophy support until a few months ago. If your gonna play it again, I suggest you delete all of your saved game data so you don't miss out on all the trophy's

whats the point of trophies anyway?

publicly, it's Sony's answer to the achievements without making them look like achievements. IMO they are not not terribly well done, in that you have to really look deeply to get any idea of the gamer you're looking at, since there's no quick summary, like on XBL where you have the constant score.
Other than that, they often give you other goals in a game that are not inherent to the game's design, extending the gameplay and giving you new ways to play.

so what you are saying is they are worthless? ;)
glyph
02-16-2009, 02:22 AM
to me, yes, since I'm already working achievements and gamerscore on XBL. It's an entirely subjective thing. Look at the list for a game you're playing, and see if you get hooked.

From what I understand it's a multiplayer co-op (online/offline) platforming game with options to make/share your own levels. Last time I checked, there were something like 84,000 levels that people have created.

Chris it has some basic levels but most of the game play is user created levels you can play online. I have not had a lot of game time but my lil sis has and she likes it. You can also play online with someone or meet someone to play with. I believe someone made a dunk hunt game. Let me know if you want to get together sometime and play.

pretty much any level that looks like a copyrighted product gets yanked. I just hate how every comment on a level is "Come play my LVLZ!" It's fun for co-op, and the physics, and the puzzles. I don't have time to try to create my own stuff, but some of that stuff people create is amazing. Most of it is drek.

So LBP is pretty damned cool. I played some user created levels last night and they were pretty impressive. One was a Mario Bros themed level that was really well put together, another had a Matrix theme. Very cool little game.

you can do it...all you need to the force gun and some ammo...I think you can even use the kinetic device for certain things IIRC

little big planet is the shit, my girlfriend and I play it all the time. I finally got my TV and PS3 so anyone that plays resistance2, CODWOW, LBP, sent me an invite. GhostMercury is the name on the PS3. It's very original....haha

the force gun eh? hmmmmm I was going to use the pulse riffle since it seems best equipped....maybe I'll try the force gun.
I was doing good till the bitch picked me up and I had to try to aim while dangling hahahaha
