Anyone know if there are any problems with using the PS3 in a vertical orientation? I know it was designed to work fine that way, but I remember reading about the PS2 scratching discs when it wasn't flat. I have an area on my floor next to my TV stand where my PS3 will fit, but only if it's on its side.

Ok, quick question. I found out that if I wanted to say move the PS3 from a room with HDMI connection to a room with a component connection, you have to manually set it up in the PS3 settings. Is there a way around this? It's almost like I have to plug the PS3 in on one setting, change to another, and while the screen goes black for 30 seconds quickly switch to the new setting. It's a real pain in the ass, and I hope there is a way around it.
Any ideas?

Somewhat funny story...I was at the Target store in downtown Miami two days ago. There was a printed out sign that said "SORRY WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PS3s IN STOCK" posted on the glass display case. And what was right under it? A new PS3 20GB that was partially hidden by a huge poster for some game.

Quick question for those who downloaded the Motorstorm demo AND have played it in stores? Is the framerate on the new demo still sluggish? I played it in-store and the framerate was unacceptable, along the lines of Need for Speed: Most Wanted on the 360.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks...that is what I wanted to know. Just that MotorStorm was not 5.1. I ASSumed it would be and got myself an optical switch, but I realized I don't even need it now.

Likely a stupid question, but I will ask regardless. I wanted to set up the PS3 before X-mas, so I connected it and did the most recent update. However, in my haste I only set up one user and one PSN profile/master account. I think keeping one user will work for us, but I do need to create a couple of sub-accounts. I saw the option to do so when I created the first one, but not when I went back into the settings. Where do I do this?
(Basically, I need my sons to have their own profiles, but I want override control. Is my thinking of how to do this correct?)
Thanks.

I have to say, the title that impressed me the most so far was the new Untold Legends. After playing the game for 15 minutes, it really made me want to get a PS3, and actually keep one for a change

Please let me know if you need any more help. Hope this helps!

Thanks. I will try it once nobody is home.
I knew I could create new users, but was not sure if I could create new/multiple PSN profiles under the same user. I now realise one can not. The instructions weren't very clear as to whether I could under my user account and then assign the new profile to a new user or not.

Has anyone with a PS3 tried the PS2 backwards compatibility yet? I found this video via digg, and they're saying that all PS2 games look like crap on the PS3 due to resolution scaling or something like that. They've got some split screen footage of FF12 on both systems:

Someone pointed out on Digg that if you could easily see how bad it looked on YouTube, with their janky compression, that it was a SERIOUS problem.
