heh, someones working over time ;)

I capped my 24gig download too... it's 12 gigabytes from 12am to 12pm and 12 gigs from 12pm to 12am, if you downlaod more than 12gigabytes from 12pm to 12am (udring the day) your 12am to 12pm is void and your speed is cut to 28.8 kbps :laugh:

Yup, 512kbps for me too.
I never really saw it as a problem.
But a suggestion; NEVER go with Iprimus, DoDo FTW.

Also on the "install other OS" option; Dont expect to be running windows. Linux only runs on one SPE, and the PS3 has no where near the amount of power to run windows and games thru an emulator; that being said, I guess you could do something with linux. Its not really the best OS software-wise, but you could probably emulate SNES and Gameboy Advance, which, then again, can be run on a PC.

Linux is great, however, to anyone who's a programmer, like me. Linux = programmers playground.

Bluetooth mobile headsets can be used with PS3

Positive PS3 news has been as rare as rocking-horse dung in recent months, so here's some smooth to go with the rough: it's emerged that Sony's forthcoming PlayStation 3 can connect with existing Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone headsets. The news that users will be able to configure current headsets with the console was revealed by Sony to CVG, and means that early adopters of the machine won't have to wait until the release (or endure the cost) of an official headset.

Naturally, an official headset will eventually be released, though Sony has yet to even hint at a possible release date for the device. Which barely matters of course, now that we know we'll be able to chat online from day one, and at no extra cost. Hurrah.

Record and share PS3 footage?

Sony's working on a way of recording PS3 game footage and sharing it with your friends online, according to Phil Harrison.

Speaking to the Official PlayStation Mag in an excerpt on the semi-official Three Speech blog, Harrison said that it was the plan for a specific, as-yet unannounced title, but hinted that it was in Sony's thoughts in a general way too.

"We're actually already working on it now," he said when asked about sharing video footage. "There are two ways to do it. One is as pure video actually saved direct from the gameplay experience, but that creates quite a large data cloud.

"The more efficient way of doing it is to record game input and then share that to each user. We are doing that in a very innovative way on a game that we haven't shown anybody yet," he revealed.

And speaking of video footage, Harrison also reckons that production on Killzone - one of the infamous trailers shown during Sony's E3 2005 conference - will put it in a position to be shown off in 2007.

"With Killzone, the expectation internally and externally is very high," he said, "and I won't show it until it's going to exceed people's expectations. It will be next year before we show it again, but it's coming along very well.

"The team are working very hard, they know exactly what they have to do and there's no doubt they will achieve it, but there's nothing to be served by something that doesn't satisfy my goals for the project.

"I can tell you, though, that some elements already exceed the trailer," he added.

Pictures speak a thousand words i guess... (or something like that). I think its great they're waiting until its ready to be shown, means they're working hard on it. Hope its true though

Nearly 90k PS3s sold in Japan

Sony sold 88,400 PlayStation 3 consoles over the weekend in Japan according to Japanese magazine company Enterbrain, which publishes Famitsu.

The number falls around halfway between the 100,000 launch-unit target Sony was aiming for and the 80,000 figure reported in the Nikkei Shimbun prior to launch.

The best selling games were Namco Bandai's Ridge Racer 7 and Gundam: Target in Sight, both of which sold around 30,000 units.

The near-instant total depletion of hardware stock has led to a huge number of Internet auctions for so-called "used" PS3 consoles spring up, some with asking prices more than twice that charged by retail.

It's a trend that's even being felt in Europe.

Some web-based importers have decided not to sell the console to clients in the European Union after Sony enjoyed success in its attempts to stifle Hong Kong-based Lik-Sang, which went out of business recently.

But one London-based importer is known to be offering the console, along with its five launch titles, for GBP 1500.

it seems that the PS3 is the best Blu-ray player out there right now. both in terms of quality of image, speed of loading discs (14 seconds from power on to playing...cant be said of any of the HD-DVD competition), and value for money!

That's a bit of a strange (and almost pointless) thing to say seeing as there are all of 3 blu-ray players currently available on the market and likewise - probably the same number or slightly more HD-DVD players.

Give it half a year from now and the PS3's Blu-Ray playback will already be inferior to dedicated players which will already be nearing prices of the PS3 or will be even cheaper by then.

... That is if Blu-Ray isn't already dying by then ...

i find it ironic that you pointed out that i made a strange and almost pointless comment (whereas it is a valid and justified observation) and yet you went and made an even more useless and probably wrong comment by stating 1. speculation (inferiority of PS3 playback to future players) and 2. common sense (the decrease in price of blu-ray players in the future). that said, i guess we stll have to see if the price drop of ps3 don't keep up with price drop of bluray players ( a $50 PS3 price drop in half a year needs to be matched by at least a $550 price drop on average for blu-ray players ;) ).

Nothing to lol about oO Sony had already told us that, why all surprised all of the sudden? Sony said from the very beginning that as long as a game met the TRC the game would work, some games avoid the TRC and would need fixes. What matters is that they are fixing them fast as the 1.10 update shows they fixed a few already. And 200games off the huge PS1/PS2 catalog isn't that big a deal to begin with.

Also something ur missing about the PS3 Bluray playback is that this time it can be updated.
