This is so awesome.

It's like we're all whipping our BALLS out on the table to compare! I don't have any of my computers wired to the router like the PS3 so I can't really whip mine out quite as readily. Good times in the PS3 forum!

The same thing happened when Netflix came out on the 360.

So I should be able to watch the HD versions, right?


Woops - here's a test from a computer connected via the wireless network, which the PS3 is on...

From Netflix: http://www.netflix.com/WiMessage?msg=59

Certain titles are available to watch in HD on your Netflix ready device. In order to watch in HD you need:

•A HD TV and component or HDMI connection from your Netflix ready device to your TV
•A high-speed internet connection at time of playback (typically 5 Mbps or higher)

Yeah... I get better speeds than that when I run a test to Australia or New Zealand...

Also, my results are from my wireless lap top, which is a little further away from my router, then the PS3 and 360.

Warhawk invades the PS3 forum! FTW!

Like six people get it. That's all that matters.

It only really matters if you host any online games...which PSN games often offer the capability to do.

I'm limited to 8 players on Warhawk, for instance, but Flip (jdpatri) can do 24 due to the sheer size of his BALLS.

I gotta see how much uploading and downloading speed my BALLS can handle when I get home.

This is a T1 line at work, but I guess everything being filtered through corporate slows it down.

In theory. I'd like to see what your true up/down speeds are.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition

Don't venture in here very often since I generally only use my PS3 for Blu-rays, so sorry if this has been asked a million times...but my PS3 isn't reading discs.

Sounds like a somewhat common problem, but Google doesn't help me much in finding a solution (other than calling Sony to have it repaired).

It's a couple years old, 40gb, out of warranty of course.

Help?

Thanks.
