Okay, how much like Second Life are they trying to make this thing anyway?

I called Sony tech support. One of the explanations they offered is that the 360 was plugged in to the same TV and wasn't letting the PS3 do 1080p (mind you, it had no problem letting it go up to 1080i but watch out if the PS3 wants to do 1080p). I told her I did the setup, the reset, and then she wanted me to know if I had other types of AV cables which I told her I did and they worked fine and then she wanted me to test the other AV cables :scratch2:

Then she wanted me to try another cable even though I told her that same cable had worked for a year AND it was outputting 1080i. I asked her if a defective cable could output 1080i but not 1080p and she had no answer to that. And what do you know, the XBOX cable WORKED. So then I thought wow I wonder what will happen if I take the cable that wasn't outputting 1080p on the PS3 and hook it up to the XBOX... worked fine. So now I have one cable that outputs 1080p on the XBOX but not the PS3 and another that outputs 1080p on both.

So she said WE FIXED IT !!! I asked her if she had any explanation and she said that when WE redid the settings it was fixed. I told her I HADN'T redone the settings or the hard reset during the call, all I did was switch the PS3 and XBOX cables and she said OH. Well, plugging them in and out fixed it (which I had (surprisingly -ohbfrank-)) already tried before.

So she kept saying WE FIXED IT! IT WORKS! So I thanked her and ended the call.

Any ideas why the same cable will do 1080p on the 360 but not the PS3 and why another cable will do 1080p on both? (so it's obviously not a damaged cable, not the PS3, and not the TV).

Off to see The Dark Knight!

Then you fixed it. Put the one that does P on the PS3, and the one that does both on the xbox. Done deal.

I like to UNDERSTAND things, though :)

BTW The Dark Knight looks :drool: on BR at 1080p.

rotfl That's awesome.

Damn that Microsoft! :mad:

So I finally was able to log into Home. It's your crib from NFL 2K5 with microtransactions, advertising and a bunch of people pretending to be chicks. Am I missing anything?

:(

Sorry. And Gatordeb.

There's bowling! And Pool! And some arcade games in the bowling alley! :lol:

Arcade games where if someone else is already playing them, YOU HAVE TO WAIT YOUR TURN IN LINE BEFORE YOU CAN PLAY THEM. -ohbfrank-

That is awesome.. because you know there are going to be ahole people that will just stand there "playing" the game so that no one else can.

The movie theater was awful as well. Too many people talking loud, standing, chatting and dancing in front of the screen so you couldn't see much of it.
I really think they should have put some kind of age limit on this thing.. Not just let anyone that has a PS3 create an account and log on.

rotfl

This sounds awesome!

:lol:

That isn't far from the truth!

rotfl

Wow. I've never laughed so hard at a PA strip. That's awesome.

Which is a shame, because the arcade games actually aren't all that bad. You know, when they're open. :lol:

It's similar to a real-life theater experience. :)

And they do have an age limit. 13+. I mean, surely you expect those under 13 to be truthful of their age and not create a home account, right? ;)

13 is too young for my liking, but Sony doesn't want to restrict this much. They want to target the teen demographic with this marketing machi-- er, online community.

You know, I was going to tell you to try a different cable, but since it worked fine for 720p and 1080i, I thought that would not be the issue. I honestly can not say why that is, and I do A/V work for a living.

I can't wait to watch it....probably on Monday.

My brother lives in the boondocks, and he's stuck with a dial-up internet connection. He's gonna want to play the DLC expansion levels for Fallout 3. Is there any way to purchase and transfer the levels to his console? Has there been indication they'll be available on a separate disc (like the Oblivion expansions)?

So far its only an Xbox 360 exclusive.

A friend of mine sent me this post, from the PSN boards :lol:


Why do people change their sex of their avatar...

One minute an avatar is female, then three minutes later they have changed into a male, by the same user. This makes me sick... because I dont know who the person really is in real life..

Now I cant trust anyone in home....Because I had a deep conversation with a female avatar.. it was a male to female conversation (not a bad type conversation)

and when it bumped into the same user name three minutes later, she changed into a man....My head went spining... I ask what going on... and no decent reply weither MALE or Female.

I felt so embarressed........ she/he may tell others in home what we talked about. I afraid to go into home, and become a laughing stock...Apparently loads of people do this swap sex thing.....

Home should try to make people in home with their true identity

^^^ That's great. We should all do this one day. Just everyone log in as women.

:lol:

There would be a whole lot of dry humping going on.

There already is.

Not sure if everyone has seen this yet, damn funny

And that is why Home has failed :)

Can someone please tell me what is the current consensus/resolution(?) regarding the issues of Metal Gear Solid 4 freezing on PS3s (and rendering them incapable of playing back any discs)?

I picked up the game for under $30 recently and though I want to play it, remember the threads on this. I looked up the issue again, but I could not find any official resolution or consensus on the issue (I have a 40GB PS3 btw).

Can anyone clue me in on this?

I've definitely heard about PS3 owners that had their consoles stop reading discs. The Playstation forum has many posts about this, but I don't remember MGS4 being the cause.

The only thing I remember was when the new XMB came out some users had a problem tha froze the PS3 but I thought that was patched with in a couple of days.

FYI - Trophy patch for Fallout 3 is out.

Thanks for letting me know earlier. I was able to get a trophy rather quickly but there are a bunch that will require a restart since I am already past the point that triggers the trophy. Sucks that it wont go back and give trophies for goals already achieved but I understand why they do it this way.

Glad I did not get a chance to start this yet after purchasing it last week.

I think you're confusing which game was causing a problem. It was GTA4 that was bricking PS3's. I never heard of MGS4 causing that issue.

About six weeks to go until Noby Noby Boy comes out:

What in the hell? Did the Katamari guys start taking PCP or something?

fuck! another game I'll get in release date. Play it for a few days and then forget about it.

But it should be fun!
