Yeah, I totally agree. I mean, who even plays WoW?

just like the wii could never be taken seriously...
People were saying this same stuff about the wii. I don't like iPhone games that much but the sales speak for themselves... View

I'll be trying it
I intend to give it a shot when I have a moment to futz around with it. View

wtf
I love the spin on this one: game delays make next year even better! We are pretty sure you didn't want those triple A titles before then. TOO CROWDED. View

or....
It could be selling better because fighting games have not traditionally done too well on the xb360 anyway. I played the new street fighter on xb360 and after the nostalgia wore off, I've lost all interest in it also. I may consider getting this game for ps3 just because they can still be fun but... As a PS3 owner, I can't help but think its getting picked up so quickly because we don't have that many great choices for titles to begin with. I realize this is changing but... As a gamer and owner of both consoles, I'm often a little saddened by the slim pickins' for the ps3. I really hope the backwards compatibility rumor is true. Being able to play my old ps2 games library would be really great. View

@xino:

This whole post is about my incredibly positive experience with ps3 media server, so I'm already on that page.

my settings for streaming over the wireless are:
keyint=18:vqscale=3:vqmi n=2

Keep in mind this is using 802.11N, but I'm now streaming 1080p content via wireless with no stuttering/audio clipping. Although the picture quality isn't as good as it was via eithernet, its pretty close. View

@phosphor112

Thanks for the tip. Those settings were some of the first I actually started playing with once I got everything setup. Streaming 1080p content the ps3 via wireless N with my settings at: keyint=18:vqscale=3:vqmi n=2, but changed the sound to your recommendations. I can't tell a difference, so great tip.

@mooey: yeah, I have a number of friends rocking popcorn hours. I've considered it, and mention it in my blog... View

@Family Guy:
Thanks for the input and I've looked at some, but not all of those options. My pc crapped out: dropped down a flight of stairs while being moved. It's older, doesn't boot, and I sold off the cpu's for cash because I'm not even sure what else isn't working on it. I could take the time to fix it, but I have quite a few other functional machines that don't cost me anything but time to work with. I really should have said, "I lost my pc and haven't seen the need to replace it...until perhaps now." I'll check out the other suggestions you have also. It's worth noting that if I wanted to avoid all headache, I'd just go buy the popcorn hour.

Tinkering with all this stuff does help start great conversations with fellow gamers such as yourself. It also allows me to (hopefully) save some mac users a little bit of time by collecting a bit of my experience here. You are correct, most if not all my problems could be avoided by not using a mac for my setup, or installing winxp in bootcamp... but who'd want to hear me talk about that? I'd sound even more boring! ;) Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming. View

@mc187: thanks for the support man! So long as people are finding them at all informative, I'll try to keep doing them. View

I realize that. I'm also running a mac. View

@phosphor112: Thanks for the advice. I actually just wrote up a review on my experiences with ps3 media center. It's EXACTLY what I was looking for. That blog post should be coming shortly, but its likely all stuff that you already know :) View

@hoo - I was considering getting that adapter. If I do, I'll definitely share my thoughts. Thanks for the feedback! View

Just to Clarify
I wanted to thank all the people making comments. For those who have offered assistance and perspective on the fat32/hfs+ dilemma I face, thanks for that as well. I've considered going fat32 but its simply an archaic file system and I most certainly access files that are nearly all larger than 4 gig. I have found a number of alternatives, they just aren't simple. I'd very much like to see support for HFS+, not only does it allow these types of drives hooked up, but it allows for users with macs to connect their ipods to the ps3 to play music as well - something that I can do pretty easily on the 360. It's not a huge deal now that I have a workaround, I just like more features/options. It means I don't have to do as much head scratchin' :) Thanks again guys! I may offer an update with more impressions and my experience as it goes along. I'm really enjoying finding out exactly what I can and cannot do with it. I'll keep you posted. View

I know its possible to do, its simply that I want the drive completely usable on my mac/linux boxes, in addition to being able to use it on the ps3. I realize if I were running a windows box that'd be much more simple. I just like to keep things complex and confusing :) View

@Ace Pheonix: most of the content I'm concerned with watching is *over* 4.7 gigs. We're talking anywhere between 4.5-10 gig h264.mkv's, and some hd-wmv's. Also, I have no PC's at home/work. I use mac/linux almost exclusively, so fat32 doesn't always play nicely with those boxes. Thanks for the input though, I've seriously considered it. I've recently found some software that runs natively on the mac that will transcode/stream the mkv's on the fly to the ps3, and I may blog about that next actually. This solution works for me and its been working almost flawlessly. View

Boycott!
Let's boycott this one too! You can't just announce sequels. Who does that? View

Don't need a price cut?
Before I get flamed, I own, and like both systems. Cheaper is better. End of story. The less expensive the console, the more they can sell. This is a good thing for consumers and I'm kind of stunned that we actually have people so dedicated to a console that they'd rather not see the price adjusted. I realize that Sony has a profit to make, but its always been a model that lends itself to making that up in software. View

The market is incredibly bad right now. Sony is down 2%, msft down 10%, Google is down. This has nothing to do with e3 and whatever the perspectives on each companies showings are.

I'm far more concerned about mortgage debt and how two companies who own most of the mortgage debt in this country have lost over half their value. Thats far more terrifying than sony losing an exclusive or whatever...but I guess thats not really "gaming news" either. View
