PlayStation.com UK: Did you know your PlayStation 3 can do so much more than just play the hottest games? Find out everything you need to know to kick-start your PS3 experience.
They forgot... 1. internet browser 2. video chat with 5 friends 3. create youtube videos with the video editor 4. Qore
plus a couple of things i can't mention.
edit: oh and if you have windows media player on your pc, you can take all the movies, music, and photos on the pc and wirelessly transfer them onto your PS3 system, and vice versa.
The video service of the PS3 is a joke. They failed to mention if you have more than 1 ps3's (like me) and you have video service enabled on one you can't watch movies with the id on the new system. Stupid!
LEt me not even get started on how Netflix destroyed their ap on Ps3 with that new janky ass layout they got. They took all the movies, suggested 75 of them to you and then take your money for it still. What a joke. Why have it one way, a way that works, a way that is good and offers up accessibility and user preference -- For the stupid ass **** they gave us; without warning mind you.
You could just download movies and stream them from a free service like Vuze to your PS3. That's what I do and it saves money, time, and very easy to use. Just drag and drop.
Are you people telling me you all like the new Netflix layout on the Ps3? Are you all insane!!!??? Do you like not having the freedom in your own personal choice? This site is absurd.
I love my PS3 just as much as anybody else but streaming video on that machine from my laptop works like shite (with mine anyways). Anyone else has that problem? Agree if you do, disagree if you don't.
Maybe I'm just one of those unlucky people. The weird thing is that it works perfectly on my 360 S. :(
I think I tried the PS3 Media Server at the beginning and I really wasn't happy with the result so I switched to TVersity but it's not any better. Someone mentioned the fact that I might have problems because both my laptop and my PS3 are wireless. If true, it would be really lame...
PS3 media server worked flawlessly from my Ubuntu PC.So did Media Tomb, but was not easy to set up like PS3 media server. In cases with codecs that PS3 didn't like, the media server would decode it on the fly which could be troublesome when fast forwarding for example. Decoding is CPU intensive especially if you play HD content.
It is the case for me. And I'm not using the PS3 Media Server so maybe that's also part of the problem... *shrugs* I use TVersity instead, which I find very user-friendly and very easy to set up.
1. Should have plug a usb keyboard to Ps3 for Home or private messaging or chat sessions ingame or browsing while their play with friends. You can even plug a 5 dollar keyboard to it!
2. For home and communication deffinently use a headset. It dosent have to be expensive bluetooth headsets. You can plug your pc headset to ps3 with this quickly. Its only 5 dollars! http://www.hermann-uwe.de/f...
A lot of people didnt even know that theres a chat session feature on ps3. I invite them and they ask me how to get inside in to session!
I tell them to go under PLAYERS MET. They say WHERES PLAYER MET?
I tell them to get a headset. They tell me I dont wanna buy 50 dollar PS3 headset!
People buy this console and they just put the discs and play. Lot of people dont know anything about its features after 4 years have passed! They dont know about PS3' s capabilities about plug/play allmost every usb headset or bluetooth headset.
Recently i gifted myself a brand new ps3 bundle with two crappy games, any subjection of what games to get will be appreciate. I'm a PC gamer and honesty i don't know if i bought this to be a Blue ray player.
Nothing new here.
Just basic stuff like: Watch movies! Use the Playstation Move! etc etc.
Ofcourse its from the official sony site, so it shouldnt be to advanced, because newcomers must understand it. but still. Not worth submitting to N4G.
(@ the disagrees, im not even trolling here)
<<< my face when i read Eight Days.
Too bad I was wrong

Who cares if is this "old"
It's the Holidays and a lot of new PS3 owners will be curious at what it's capable of.
