Like slop said, keep playing you might just get your wish. No offense, but I think it's a bit weird that you are arguing your stance without having played the game yet. Do you realize how big and cumbersome the Big Daddy's are? That means you are very...very slow in that suit. It would not make for a very fun multiplayer experience.

I've got LBP on the way, so I'll probably grab one. And that pet game looks incredibly fun, hopefully it works close to as good as the video shows.
|
That pet game looks great for my daughter. I can already see people drawing big pornographic penis' and whatnot for him to "play with" :)

Wow, nice video and i look in it ')

I'm thinking of picking up a PS3 when I'm back in the US for the holidays in December (I live in Japan.) I had been on the fence about this for a while but was finally swayed to get one when I learned the US and Japan are in the same region for Blu Ray discs :)
My dilemma now is working out which version to buy. From the wikipedia page I see the newest versions are missing feature found on previous models: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlaySta...configurations Seem the only versions being manufactured now are not BC (not a big deal for me as I don't have a PS2), have fewer USB slots, no flash card reader (not sure I would every use this) and no SACD support (not even sure what this.) Any recommendations on which version I should buy? Are the new versions improved in any way apart from the increased hard drive space? |

I'm not sure if the new version is BC, but Amazon has the limited-edition Gunmetal grey Metal Gear Solid 4 Kojima Bundle 40 GB model for $399.99 next week. Seems like a hell of a deal on a very nice collector's edition that sold for $600 a few months ago.

I adore my PlayStation 3. It’s easily the best Blu-Ray player on the market and there are a lot of great games on it to enjoy. However, there is a hardware issue I have that has yet to be resolved.
The problem is (as I recently discovered) twofold. Both issues relate to the audio output of the PlayStation 3 via HDMI. The first relates to listening to CDs. Whenever I play an audio CD on my PlayStation 3, rather than output the signal as 2-channel signal to my Onkyo TX-SR705, the PlayStation 3 sends the signal as if it were a 7.1-channel signal. This is problematic because my receiver is then “tricked” into thinking it’s receiving a true 7.1 mix and therefore disallows the use of any of its surround decoders. In reality, only the left and right speakers are receiving any audio whereas the other 5.1 channels are silent. At first, I thought the aforementioned issue was the same I was experiencing when play PlayStation 1 & PlayStation 2 titles on my PlayStation 3. My PlayStation 3 was also misrepresenting the audio on those games as 7.1-channel mixes. Because of this, games that were encoded in Pro-Logic II were not benefiting from said decoding from my receiver. In addition to that, any PlayStation 2 games that featured cinematics with 5.1-channel audio (such as Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty) were playing silent during the 5.1 capable scenes. This is when I stumbled on the crux of the issue as regards the audio when playing back older titles. The HDMI is acting as if it were the AV MULTI OUT of a PlayStation 2 rather than the Digital Out (Optical). That is why when I play Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening, rather than getting silence (as is the case with Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty), the audio that is output through the HDMI is the two channel mix that would be heard from the AV MULTI OUT if I were playing the game on a PlayStation 2. There is a rather cumbersome workaround for the 2-channel audio (you have to unselect all audio output above 2 channels in the PlayStation 3’s Audio Output Settings) but no workaround whatsoever for the 5.1-channels issue. I believe these audio issues could and should be corrected in a future firmware update. |
Sony is probably aware of that, but, send support an email about it if you haven't already so that they see more people complaining about it!

I did. I took my post and copy/pasted it to a message I sent via their customer support page. Hopefully I'll get a favorable response.

So I got a response regarding my promblem.

You must connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) connector using an optical digital cable (sold separately). <1> A device compatible with Linear PCM 7.1 Ch. is required to output 7.1 Ch. audio, supported by Dolby TrueHD or a similar format, from the HDMI OUT connector. <2> With system software version 2.30 or greater, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio output is now supported. To utilize the "DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)" feature of the PLAYSTATION 3 system, you should plug in the (yellow) "Video" connectors only. You should also disconnect the Left and Right Audio (white and red) connectors that may be installed into your television/stereo. Every setup can vary depending upon the make and model of your equipment, so there may be exceptions to this. One such example would be when you may be using an RFU adapter to relay the video and sound information to the television. NOTE: The PLAYSTATION(R)3 system allows you to configure the audio output settings independent of the display output settings. You may need to make sure the correct audio out setting is selected for your installation. 1. To choose the audio output setting go to the Settings icon. 2. Navigate down to Sounds Settings and press "X". 3. Navigate to Audio Output Settings and press "X". 4. You will be then prompted to choose from "AV Multi Out port", "Digital Out (Optical)", or "HDMI." Highlight the output port of you setup and press the right direction button. If you choose "HDMI" go to step 5. If you choose "Digital Out (Optical)" go to step 6. 5. If you choose "HDMI", you will be given the option to choose "Automatic" or "Manual." - Automatic: The PLAYSTATION 3 will automatically choose the method for setting the audio output format. Highlight "Automatic" and press the right direction button. - Manual: You are able to manually choose the audio output formats supported by your display or AV amplifier (receiver). Highlight the audio output option and press the "X" button on the option you wish to use and make sure the check box is checked. Once you are done, press the right direction button. If you are uncertain what to choose, please consult the manufacturer of your home theater equipment for additional assistance. 6. If you choose "Digital Out (Optical)," you will be give the option to select the output format supported by the display or AV amplifier (receiver). Highlight the options and press the "X" button and make sure the check box is checked. Once you are done, press the right direction button. If you are uncertain which options to choose please consult the manufacturer of your home theater equipment for additional assistance. 7. Once you are done, a summary of the audio outputs will be displayed. Press the "X" button to save this setting. 8. The audio output of the PLAYSTATION(R)3 system will now output audio from the port you have selected using the settings chosen. Additionally, the audio output format for certain Blu-ray Discs(TM) or DVD media may be specified depending on your display or AV amplifier(receiver). Go to "Settings" > "BD/DVD Settings". If the audio output is coming from the HDMI port, select "BD/DVD Audio Output Format (HDMI)". If audio output is coming from the Digital Optical Out port, select "BD/DVD Audio Output Format (Optical Digital)". You will be able to choose between "Bitstream" or "Linear PCM". Please contact the manufacturer of your display or AV amplifier (receiver) to determine what your display or AV amplified (receiver) supports.

That is a known issue. Many people on AVS have complained about it. Sorry, there's nothing you can do until they change this.
I prefer to keep stereo music as stereo (but with the subwoofer handling the low bass), so the way it is now would work for me. However, even those of us that don't want to use surround processing could be affected. Some receivers won't even apply bass management to a lossless multichannel signal, and with this issue the subwoofer would be silent on such a receiver. |
10/30 update is up. Looks like mostly demos. We have Mirror's Edge (downloading now), WWE Smackdown vs. RAW, Silent Hill, and Tom Clancy's EndWar (all in the queue). Didn't look beyond that to see what else was released, but I didn't see any new full games for download. Maybe I checked in the middle of the update, cause I thought there were some new games due today too.

You have to delete the game and re download it from PSN.
My gameplay saves are kept separate from the game data itself, right? |
Wait! Don't delete and redownload. Sony is supposed to fix this if they haven't already. You should now be able to update the normal way.
