PS3 Formats

Sony is clearly intent on making the PS3 the all-in-one hub for your home entertainment. A new list of media formats supported by the system right out of the box includes a variety of hard and digital formats, and should satisfy the needs of just about everyone.

h.264. That's good. Hopefully you can download other codecs as well on it; as it stands now, I'll be able to play all of my anime but that in .mkv and .ogg formats, which isn't too large a percentage of it.

USMChardcharger6402d ago

it plays games right? man o man all this stuff they keep saying this thing supports.

i don't get it all. most people won't. but people that are more computer savey will...i guess.

Siesser6402d ago

It's just kind of a "perks" thing I guess, assuring those people that intend for it to be some sort of "media center," that it will accept all forms of media that they have. I've got 178 gigs of anime that I've always had to watch on my pc monitor. If I wanted to watch it on a tv, I'd have to burn 4 episodes to a DVD and then watch it, and hope that it came out formatted properly. This way, I can just send any file over and view it on my widescreen tv instead. It's by no means an essential feature, but it's a nice thing to have; I'm actually looking forward to the media capabilities just as much as the games. That's why wi-fi was important to me; so that I can get the files to and from the system from my computer easily.

Also, I've bought a lot of music from iTunes, so hearing that it'll accept ACC is good as well.

You know you could just get a PC-to-TV box for 60$ and watch your anime on your TV.. but I agree i'll be delighted to play ALL my media from my PS3

USMChardcharger6402d ago

what's there to disagree with? the part where i said, "most people want get it"?

if so, ok i would not get it. better?

if you disagree with what i said...explain like Kevmac83 did. it would help me understand.

178GB of anime? Man, that must have been *expensive*. Har. And you wonder why entertainment costs are the way they are. GMAB.

Siesser6402d ago

I never said I didn't buy anime as well. I have an extensive DVD collection too; most of what's on my computer I can't buy in stores here. When they do release stateside, I get them.

Let's hope we start to see some more bluray movies encoded in h.264 and a lot less encoded as mpeg2 by the time launch rolls around.

Boink6402d ago

hopefully this will force MS to support more formats...divx would will satisfy most:)

whateva6402d ago

theMart must be sleep he will say something like where is wmv it can't play wmv what if all My movies are in wmv or I just want to play games blah blah blah

Arkham6402d ago

Don't forget the PS3's complete lack of 360-compatibility. I mean, come ON. What were they thinking by not including that? Surely that would've actually REDUCED the price and added a ball-shaver! Har.

PlayStation Plus Hidden Gem: Magic Orbz

“I thoroughly enjoy retro-style games and with that, Magic Orbz modernises the classic brick breaking formula and it has held up beautifully.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.

This game deserves a remaster for current consoles. It was awesome on PS3.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv723d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii3d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast3d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM3d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife2d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit2d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife2d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
