Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Is it something with how the soft buttons are labeled in the software? The issue I've had with setting up the Harmony remote I got recently (670) is that the button mapping reference in the software is incorrect. I can't seem to program the top row (which is where the label for the activity or whatever goes). So, buttons 1 and 2 in the software are the middle row on the actual remote. It was easy to figure this out and adjust to it though.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

It replaces them with other buttons usually, although sometimes they are empty. I have two or three entries for "PS" (which all do what the PS button does on the controller) even though I only have one PS shown in the software.

So we know Sony is working with Netflix, maybe a step closer for the PS3 to support streaming...

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

The last line says EXCLUSIVE deal with Microsoft, so how long is that deal? I'm sure it's basically a matter of flipping a switch for the PS3 to get it to work for them, they just need to get it "approved" from Netflix I would imagine.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

This may be common knowledge, but I've tried searching around and couldn't come up with an answer: when selling a used PS3 system, would downloaded PSN games on the HD remain or do they disappear if/when you disable your PSN account?

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

They'll be unusable if you delete your profile. If you leave your profile on the system, you can just change your password on your account and the guy who gets your used system can play those games but can't get access to your actual account.

^The site is extremely slow when adding to the cart or viewing it. It looks like they're getting hammered with orders.

Edit: well, after over half an hour, I finally managed to get the order through. BTW, Lego Indiana Jones is also cheap.

About the NetFlix streaming, I don't think it's a matter of just flipping a switch. Streaming on the PC requires a Microsoft application to be downloaded; it's not like YouTube that just uses Flash. Sony would have to write a player app and add it to the OS, because obviously you can't just run Windows software on the PS3.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Sonystyle is completely down. :(

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

I've searched and can't find a great answer: is there any difference between a game's normal edition and the greatest hits edition? (Specifically, Metal Gear Solid 4 is what I am looking to purchase.)

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Just a sticker on the case and a cheaper price.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Well, at first they used stickers on the existing stock, but they soon went to new cover/disc art for the GHs. They might still use the stickers as new titles are introduced.

I just thought I'd mention that, because I know it matters to some collectors.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Thanks for the responses. Aren't there other editions where patches, some content, etc. is added (isn't Fallout 3 supposed to be re-released in a couple months? Won't this have more (I know not "new") content than the previous disc? Is that a "Game of the Year" edition)?

I though the Burnout "Greatest Hits" did have some material/automatic downloads that was not on the original disc. Does it vary on a case by case basis? Thanks again.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Sometimes a game will get a Game of the Year edition, but that's not the same thing as a Greatest Hit. GHs are just existing games chosen by Sony for inclusion in the line, whereas GOTY editions are up to the publishers and contain extra content. Oblivion, for instance, had a GOTY edition released which added the Shivering Isles expansion. However, the GH version released months later was of the original edition.

I don't know if the GH editions typically come patched or not.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

I'm getting the Nyko usb adapter so I can control Blu movies with my Harmony 659.
When I go to set it up, should I add the PS3 or the Nyko remote as the device?

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Add it as the Nyko Bluewave. Works perfectly.

Damn, now I want Ghostbusters on BD even more.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Wow, the themes thing is cool...and I probably had a bunch of those movies via Netflix and never bothered to look.

Never even knew about that. :up:

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

I wonder if there are any games that include the same and we're not aware of it.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Sweeeet I ordered Ghostbusters earlier this month, I'll have to try this.

Castle Crashers coming to the PS3

Castle Crashers has been one of the bright lights on Xbox Live Arcade since it was released last August. The stylized side-scrolling brawler offered a winning mix of solid action, quirky charm, and four-player co-op play. Unfortunately, PlayStation 3 owners haven't been able to get in on the fun--until now. The Behemoth is taking the wraps off of Castle Crashers for the PlayStation 3 at Comic-Con today, and showing off the first playable version of the upcoming downloadable title. We paid the California-based developer a visit for a first look.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Nooooo! The only reason I bought it on the 360 was because I thought it would never come to the PS3.
