You do realize that not everyone has their router close to their PS3, right?

I almost added you, matty, but your PSN ID didn't look real. Almost like someone just randomly pushed a few buttons to get through to the next screen.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - October 08 edition
I am wired and PSN is ungodly slow. Game playing is nice though with only SF2 having any noticable lag. Granted lag and download bandwidth are not real related, but whatever. I run file servers and have like 6 connected computers and none of them are slow except PSN.
BTW, my PSN id is digawok. Mostly playing Warhawk, Rock Band 2 and SF2 online and looking for people to play with on either.

Maybe, but for some set ups, anything to prevent more cable clutter is a good thing. Plus, as a couple others have said, I remember having really slow speeds as well with a wired connection back with my old roomate's PS3.

My PS3 won't play BR anymore. I put in Meet the Browns and since it didn't load I put back in Narnia 1 (which played before) and it won't load either. There's no BD-ROM entry under videos. The last one I watched was H+K:EFGB today. I went to do an update and it told me I already had the last one. Tips? Thanks!

Yes and no. Ridge Racer 7 loaded but I'm stuck in the Now Loading screen with the Time Pilot game going on for about a couple of minutes now.
Edit: After a second try, the actual game loaded. So I'm able to play games.

I bought it over a year ago but I have a 3-year Squaretrade warranty, so if it breaks it's not a problem. But it's curious as to how it can read games and not movies......
After Sony told me the reason it was outputting 480i, 480p, and 1080i but not 1080p was because the 360 was connected to the same TV, I'm leery of calling them again
If it makes a difference, it plays regular DVDs fine.
BR games: pass
SD DVDs: pass
BR movies: fail
So I don't really think it's a hardware issue.

Hmm...maybe I should check. I game a couple times a month (if that), and even then I never check my video game stuff. So uhm, if anyone sent an invite...sorry!

I have my PS3 and Wii both using WiFi, WEP encryption and MAC address filtering. Both have an excellent connection to the wireless router which resides two floors up in my office (all my A/V equipment is in the basement). I very very rarely get any sort of 'drop-out' or lag issues with either system, but the PS3 is ridiculously slow downloading anything. I am fine with the compromise of a online service with the PSN, I just wish it was a little faster.
Adding you, KJK and rsra13 in tonight or tomorrow.

steebo or anyone else that plays SSFTTHDR on PSN, can you invite a friend to play on it, or, do you have to go w/ the random stuff all the time? I would love to play against peeps I 'know' from the forum instead of always random people.

So, let's play some Pain, hmm an update is needed. OK, install it. Then my wife called me for dinner... and to make a long story short, it took almost an hour to download and install the patch! For a PSN game! I think I read somewhere that it needs to patch the add-on too, so in my case it needed to patch the main game and the movie studio add-on, so maybe that's why it took so much time. So I had 2 hours to play in my PS3, but half of that time the screen was just waiting there for a patch to download/install... for a PSN game!
About Qore. I saw that I had downloaded the free December edition, so I checked it. I still remember that I thought about paying for an annual subscription. Good thing that I didn't do it.

Add me! I'll check my messages. Even if I don't ever get around to online multiplayer, I enjoy seeing what everyone else is playing.

I'm waiting for the price to drop at one of the local Targets to pick up a GH:III or GH:A bundle for PS3 to get a cheap plastic guitar for it. Thinking about having some music games on both 360 and PS3, which is funny since my playing of said games has been on the decline lately.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - October 08 edition
I have a Salamander rack with sides and a door that fits into a nook next to a fireplace so it has walls on the left, back and right sides with maybe 2" clearance on each. About a year ago I pulled the rack out and painstaikingly zip tied up all cables for the sources that route to my receiver and all power cords that go to my Rotel line conditioner on the lowest rack. So basically I have one power cord from my rack to the wall, everything else is nicely contained within the rack.
At the time I did this I had a Panny upconverting DVD player using HDMI. When I got the PS3 I simply yanked the DVD player out and used that HDMI for my PS3. It would be a pain to get an ethernet cable through all that.
And honestly why should't a PS3 located 3' from a router work wirelessly just as well as wired? Sure wired may be a solution, but that doesn't make crappy wifi less of a problem.
