Or better yet, as others have mentioned, just download them when you're done with your PS3. If you queue them up and choose to shut down when done, it will automatically install any demos or games after they are downloaded. I never download anything anymore when I'm still playing a game or watching a movie. It's so much better to just let the PS3 do its thing and have my demos ready next time I turn it on. There's really no reason to complain about the download speeds since you don't have to babysit the PS3 anymore.

Got errors last night and now this morning trying to download a mandatory system update on the PS3. Hopefully it's a temporary problem for me, but it does bother me that I can't enter the PS store and pick up some new Rock Band songs or some demos until I complete the update.

KenKeith

its always much easier for me just to download from website onto usb and install from there

Ravenous

Wait, theres a way to automatically install the demo as soon as its done downloading? How?

Yea by other stuff I meant to have a life. Go out, have dinner, take a shower, etc.

Arthur Dent

The auto-install comes if you set your PS3 to turn off after completing your downloads.

When I set my PS3 for auto-shut off after I downloaded the MGS4 demo, I stikll had to install it when I powered on later.

I queued up Mirrors Edge, Lego Batman and Motorstorm Pacific, the other night and set it to shut off. It downloaded AND installed all three before shutting down.

Amazon has a couple of their greatest hits on sale for $19.99 + free shipping: Resistance: Fall Of Man, MotorStorm, Fight Night Round 3, Warhawk (No Headset), Need For Speed Carbon, and Call of Duty 3. They also have the Dualshock3 for the cheapest I've ever seen - $40.96

Also check your gold box. I had the Dualshock 3 show up a couple of times for $38.96.

Spiderbite

I have a gut feeling you will see these game for 2 for $30 come Black Friday. No proof...just a feeling.

They already were in the NW at Fred Meyer a few weeks back.

So my 40gb PS3 is a doorstop and out of warranty... long story short I'll most likely just grab a new one. My question is - is there any way to get any $$ for what I've got? (Disc drive is broken)

Hey, how do I disable trophy notifications?

I'm playing a game, totally into it, and suddenly that shit comes up on my screen, distracting me and taking me right the fuck out of the game. I got rid of the achievement notifications on my 360, so how do I get rid of it for the PS3?

Fandango

You can send it in to Sony and they will fix it for $150.

Drexl

I don't think you can. I was wanting a way to block and/or delete trophies in case I was playing on a different system and wanted to not get them, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that.

OK, so I tried to register for the Playstation Underground, but when I enter my email address, it says I'm already registered. I'll buy that, maybe I did it years ago with my PS2 and don't remember. So I try to simply sign in using my email address and password. It tells me it's an invalid username and password combination. So then it says instructions have been sent to my email on how to recover a lost password. Only problem is nothing ever gets sent to my email. I've tried this about 20 times over the last couple days. Same result. Tells me I'm already registered and that it's an invalid user/password combo and an email has been sent with recovery instructions. (and I made sure to undo any spam filters, so if they are actually sending me an email, I should be getting it).

So... does anyone know how to recover a lost Playstation Underground password?

Have you checked your spam folder?

Add the PSU email address to your contacts.

19K

nothing in the spam folder.

I'll try adding to the contacts.

Does anyone know what's actually in the email that they send? I'm guessing it would just be a link to some page.

flix1

Same exact thing has happened to me. I have yet to be able to recover.

I have confirmed that it is not going to a Spam folder or getting rejected.

... I have the same problem with emails from DVD Aficionado.

Bad Mr. Mic. Did you know the mic doesn't play through the speakers. So people without mics will not be able to hear you. Other than that I actually like the mic but that is a pretty big negative on the thing.

Does the PS3 Warrany also cover the controller?

I was playing Burnout and while picking a car, using the DPad, it got stuck rapidly going to the right! i got pissed and turned off the controller. Didnt matter, than the game, than the whole system, none of it helped. Although it did go rapid at first it began to slow down by itself. So I pressed the right button real hard and it stopped, but I turned everything off just incase. Is it covered?

GatorDeb

I have this camera:

and it outputs video in MPEG-4 format. I put the SD in the PS3 and was able to view the photos just fine but it says no videos available.

I last updated the PS3 2 days ago.

Ideas? Shouldn't it play them?

Raul3

mpeg-4 is the format, but what's the codec? The PS3 only accepts some codecs.

GatorDeb

No idea, but it does say it's Quicktime MPEG-4

I'm still not sure of what to think of the Trophy system. As an achievement whore, I love being rewarded for doing things in games, especially with the fact that I will earn things for my residence in "Home." However, I have one issue with the set-up. Why wouldn't Sony just put all of the unlocked trophies together, like Microsoft does with their achievements? I hate checking other peoples' trophy collections and having to scroll through the entire list, missing ones they have unlocked because they're hidden amongst locked ones. I know it's a small problem that they may fix, but it's annoying.

Also; I rented Mirror's Edge the other night. Definitely not as good as I expected it to be. I don't recommend buying it at all. It's somewhat fun, but it's also annoying at times because of how precise your jumps have to be to grab onto things. It's...mediocre.
