Unlike KZ2 which by the mere mention of it's name makes black holes implode,Uncharted,a beautifull looking game by the proven creators Naughty Dog which brought us such classics as Crash and Jak and Daxter is getting almost none.
The game looks beatifull and considering it will have over 3000 animations and it's sort-of-a tribute to Indiana Jones,makes it a must buy for me.
Its 3000 animations for cover alone oO Insane.
 
If VLC works so should MPLAYER, infact if VLC works practically any fully compiled app should.
lol... there are different distributions (distros) of Linux, each with its own customized kernel... and applications. The Linux distros that run on the PS3 are so far only Fedora Core and Yellow Dog (which is Fedora Core itself) so only apps that are compiled for Fedora Core works. And what not, MOST Linux apps are written for x86 systems while the PS3 is a PowerPC system... and that means... an even lesser number of applications for our PS3.
 
I'll repeat myself again, if I have to...
And I'll tell you that Debian still needs a network connection to resolve dependencies... and setting up an application on Yellow Dog is fairly easy, too. :) Debian is only good compared to Fedora Core and Gentoo... it is still no match for Yellow Dog in terms of compatibility and performance. ;) I've tried both and personally, I like Yellow Dog better... because it's faster.

Anyways, Linux doesn't let us do much right now... so hopefully, PS3 firmware version 1.6 will!
Sony Shares Details on 1.6 Update for the PS3

More promises are fulfilled... including multi-tasking with download in the background and Remote Play for 20GB PS3. :)
 
remedial lesson in linux, compiled distros and kernels
Thanks for that. Obviously it has to be compiled to match the offending platform (in this case PPC Linux), but Mplayer like VLC, like THOUSANDS of other apps is designed to be as non platform specific as possible (a la the inclusion of a .make file) and so therefore if compiled correctly it should work.

Sadly, they are still platform-dependent or at least, their filters and plugins are. And you can't install them without first installing their filters and plugins so... yeah.
 
Playstation 3 sells out in Sweden,,, supply cannot meet demand... Wow looks like we swedes are very excited about this console :)
 
Its out already? oO Or do you mean the pre-orders?
 
Three Speech » EUROPEAN PLAYSTATION 3 COMPATIBILITY SITE LAUNCHES EARLY

It seems that Sony really have been striving to make up for all the love lost with early compatibility fears. Whilst standing by their original comments that backwards compatibility will not be the focus going forward, the early launch of its compatibility site reveals that 1,782 of the 2,451 PS2 titles (in the SCEE region) available will work on your PS3.

it has arrived to hear but it is not going on sale until 23... I meant all of the units we get which is around 15.000 are already pre-ordered.

Well, it is not as good as it sounds... but A lot better than 1200 :).... a lot of them including MGS3, FFX etc has issues while playing though.
 
they must be updating the list daily then because i just checked and MGS3 (original and subsistence) has no issues. one can easily say that its not as bad as you make it sound as well, since titles like GOW and GOW2 are working properly as well as Shadow of the Colossus.

there are minor issues with some titles, such as FFXII, but Sony's claims on BC quality have always been rather conservative (see the original PS3 list), so i think the minor issues are probably very minor. not to mention, theyve shown they can and will fix issues regarding bc (tho it will probably take a while and probably relates back to the fixing of security holes with desirable firmware updates that i mentioned in the PS3 piracy thread !).
 
some hi-res screens of the new naughty dog game : Uncharted : Drake's Fortune
 
Sweet jesus.... now if i can only get confirmation that Ace Combat 6 is comming for PS3...
 
Notice how it is not THE PS3 as a machine they are picking on, but rather Sony PR... which I couldn't agree more too!
