    If you have Google Desktop, you may want to download the Google Media Server application. With it, you'll have an easy way of sending YouTube videos to your PS3. Once a computer on the same network as your PS3 is configured with Google Media Server, you'll be able to easily access the most viewed, top rated, and other featured YouTube videos instantly from the XMB. In fact, you'll not only see thumbnails, but you'll also be able to copy the videos directly to your PS3 hard drive, for easy replayability.

     

    I thought that was Cool

  2. Arguments get too Personal here. Not many people have the will to constantly get into heavy e-arguments

     

    An argument and a debate are different, an argument contains an emotional approach where the person who doesn't agree with another person, converses with no respect and takes personal offense of someone else who has a different opinion. A debate is a respectful discussion where emotions do not get in the way of conversing, and where people tell various information about whichever topic is involved.

     

    I'm registered to two other forums that aren't very active, I hate it though, I can't seem to find a forum that's balanced in activity. Other forums like khinsider, gbatemp, or ngemu are extremely active, and I can't deal with that, there are more naive idiots there, who just post 500 times in each thread just to gain phony reputation, and stuck up now-it-alls who think that they can dominate anyone in a debate. Your individual profile and posts get overlooked, because there are so many other members, posts, and threads for people to pay attention to.

     

    I have other forums to visit when another one isn't very active.

    Debates are usually one sentence away from arguments round' here. I Post at this other forum i Mod in lifeonwax.com A Hip hop site. Small community, active, and not usually very flamish, but the debates get intense. lol And 1Emu is my Home forum so i wont ever really leave.

  3. Im sorry guys, but it is EXTREMELY difficult to enjoy such an ugly game like FFVII on an HDTV. Its such a good game, but the graphics are near intolerable at this point. Playing on the PSP however is pretty nice.

  4.  

    While playing backups is fine and dandy, not being able to use LIVE sucks ass.

    keep believing that. meanwhile I'll play some more UT3 (still unreleased in the states) on live.

     

    Ehhh UT3 is def not a game meant to be played on consoles. But, il play as Cloud right now on UT3 just for fun. The PC version of this game is a bit more comfortable.

     

    I think that Gears of War and Ninja Gaiden 2 are the only games really making me prefer the 360 over the PS3. If the PS3 had some more games, I would buy it. I'm getting tired of having to deal with the RRoD.

     

    How many times has it happened to you??

  5. I would like to see FFVII remade for 2 reasons.

     

    1) It has aged terribly, in terms of graphics, load times and other things.

    2) Square can't make original games anymore to save their own ass.

     

    And btw, the MGS remake was pretty bad...

    What about it was bad?

  6. other then a graphics overhaul I don't see any reason to remake either. and if it can't stand on its own with dated graphics, really what is the point.

    I Guess i stand corrected ;)

     

    So i am the ONLY one here who wants to see FFVII Remade??

    I cant be the ONLY person who thinks that it would be amazing to see this game done over. MGS1 is a perfect example of how a great game can be made to be redone perfectly.

  7. It's the same with FF7, the game is fine as it is and it doesn't need a remake.

    I STRONGLY think that game needs a Remake. Make its way to the PS3 in 1080p. I dont think ANYBODY would disagree aside from you.

  8. PS3 Hands down:

     

    PS3-

    Networks to your computer via windows media player 9.

    STREAMS divx,mpeg,mp3,vob, mp4 files.

    also plays HD divx files (full hd 1080)

    upconverts dvds and divx movies.

    Internet browser, youtube compatible.

    keyboard and mouse support. Free online play, XMB themes.

    Linux capable. Upgradeable HD. Plays Bluray movies, and dvds, and DVDs full of divx files/mp3s and HD VOB/divx/mp4.

     

    -cons,

    games that require too much HD space.

     

     

    ------

    Xbox360, I dunno I don't have one.

     

    -----

    Wii, fun for a while, then it blows chunks. Looks like ass in HDTVs.

     

    The 360 can stream all of the above, except it can play full 1080p WMV instead of VOB, as well as upconverts lower resolutions to 720p/1080p.

    Keyboard and mouse support, online play (not free but miles ahead), themes.

    Upgradeable HD. Plays HD-DVD movies, and DVDs, and DVDs full of video/music files and HD wmv/mp4/h264.

     

    Try listing some advantages instead of Linux/Blu-Ray ;)

     

    Just the sheer fact that the 360 can play 'backups' is more than enough reason to choose it over the PS3 for most people.

    While playing backups is fine and dandy, not being able to use LIVE sucks ass.

     

    Also, what function does the Keyboard and mouse use if the 360 doesnt have a browser??

  9. So far I'm thinking I'll try Killzone... I don't like Socom or Resistance. Is Disgaea on for this year? Never liked Bioshock either.

     

    Trying to think if it'll be worth getting one this year or not.

    I personally dont see any FPS matching up to COD4(Including COD5) But FROM the screens i saw, Killzone looks quite nice. They need to Focus on the Multiplayer a bit more and they may have a very successful game. Disgaea comes out August 26th. I Loved Socom so i will be picking that up, Resistance 1 however was boring, so il have to play either a Demo, or borrow the game before i pick it up. Also, that new Naruto game looks really Nice as well. Tekken 6 is also around the corner, motorstorm 2 should rack up some sales. PS3 isnt disappointing this year IMO

  10. Sony's 2.40 FW which releases Tommorow

     

    So, we're finally able to talk officially about PS3 firmware 2.40. Available July 2nd, this hotly anticipated firmware update has been the topic of discussion throughout various internet forums and our own site. Many rumors stemmed from supposed leaks, and we can now say that many of these reveals were right on the money. The features to be added in firmware 2.40 represent the biggest jump for PS3 owners, more so than 2.00 released a few months earlier. The key features of the update include the most-wanted things voiced by a majority of PS3 fans. In-game XMB and achievement-like trophies are the two biggest additions to this update.

     

    In-Game XMB

    Finally, in-game XMB will be implemented for the very first time. When one presses the PS button, it will bring up with entire XMB. No features are hidden in this menu; you will be able to see all of your Photos, Music and Video. While everything can be seen, not everything can be accessed from the menu. For example, if you want to click on a video, a message will tell you that the game will end if you proceed any further. This will allow players to jump from one activity to another quickly on the PS3. For example, you can jump from a game of PixelJunk Monsters, directly into Resistance 2. Then, you can quick to a video on the hard drive, and then listen to some music. It makes the entire system much easier to use.

     

    While many features of the XMB won't be fully accessible whilst in a game, there are many things players will be able to do. For example, fully interacting with a friends list is finally possible. No longer do you have to quit the game in order to check a friend's message. You can add friends, check and send messages, and adjust Bluetooth settings on the fly. However, you won't be able to initiate a voice chat. You also will not be able to use music from your hard drive, unless the game is specifically programed to take advantage of the feature. Unfortunately, no games will be able to take advantage of in-game custom soundtracks when the firmware update goes live. (However, future games and game patches can enable this feature. It depends on whether or not the developer chooses to include it in their game.)

     

    Unlike the Xbox 360's Dashboard, triggering the in-game XMB runs without any delay. You will be able to bring up the XMB instantly and use its features as easily as you would outside of a game. If you want to bring up the usual power options, to turn off the controller or system, simply hold down the PS button for a bit longer.

    Trophies

    The other big feature of firmware 2.40 is trophies, PS3's answer to Xbox 360's achivements. Those familiar with achievements on Xbox 360 will find many similarities here, especially with the interface implemented. Under [Game] on the XMB, players will be able to find their Trophy Collections, which shows all the trophy-compatible games played. By clicking through, players will be able to see all the trophies they unlocked, and what trophies remain. Details on how to acquire each trophy are available -- although some will be hidden, similar to Secret Achivements on the Xbox 360.

     

    Each trophy has a different value, represented by its Gold, Silver and Bronze color. Each of these trophies add to a gamer's "level," a representation of how many achievements they've unlocked. Each game can only offer a set amount of level, so each developer must allocate how many Bronze, Silver and Gold trophies they want to offer. The intent is to make each colored trophy of equivalent value -- a Gold trophy in Resistance 2, for example, should be as difficult to earn as a Gold trophy in Motorstorm. If players are able to earn all the trophies in a single game, they'll unlock a valuable Platinum trophy, which will add an incredible amount to a gamer's level.

     

    The first games to take advantage of trophies will include Super Stardust HD, PAIN, Warhawk and PixelJunk Eden. Games that have been released before this firmware update must be patched to take advantage of trophies. For example, Super Stardust HD will be patched "within hours" of the firmware's availability. Obviously, future Sony first-party titles will all support trophies, but third parties are also planning on taking advantage of this feature. For example, Bioshock will include trophy support.

     

    Developers will have to choose whether or not to include trophy support. However, if any previously released titles get patched (a la Super Stardust HD), players must essentially start anew to get any trophies. Trophies will not be retroactively awarded based on save data.

     

    Gamer Profiles

    Also new to firmware 2.40 are expanded gamer profiles. Previously, looking at a gamer's profile only revealed their avatar, phrase and languages spoken. Now, players will be able to see the most recent trophies you've acquired and your gamer level. Of course, players will able to see your information as well. Both of you will be able to compare the trophies you've acquired. Just like Xbox Live, you can see all the games both players have played, and you can see when each trophy has been unlocked. See an example here.

     

    A Few Other Things ...

    A few small things have also been added to the upcoming firmware. Now, you'll be able to see the time on the top-right hand corner, just like you would on your PSP. Also, the recently added Google search of PSP firmware 4.00 can now be found on PS3. (Be grateful that this firmware update features much more than its PSP counterpart.) Finally, you can now have up to 100 friends on your Friends list. Wait ... that's already available!

     

    Honestly, we cannot wait for firmware 2.40. What we've detailed so far should give you a good idea of what to expect from the upcoming update. Of course, it's not like this will be the final update for the system ever -- we can be pleased in knowing that even more awaits us in the future. There are a few features that we need, like persistent voice chat -- but with the addition of achievements and in-game messaging, we're pleased to say that PS3 and PSN offer almost everything Xbox Live can, without the pricetag. The folks at Sony told us they'd thank the enthusiastic support of the fan community -- they listened to your requests of in-game XMB, and they've finally made it available to you. Undoubtedly, they'll continue to listen to PS3 fans and add even more functionality in future firmware updates.

     

    Only thing they need to address is a centralized Server for the games. i Think thats what Qore should be doing, giving us the Option to pay for that.

  11. I work in front of Radio City, That area is 100% safe. lol

     

    You wont get robbed at all. I carry my iPod Touch at all times and ive never been approached.

     

    Did you see the Big M&Ms store??

    Haha dude, I loved that place! My 3rd cousin from Japan took some pictures of us there. I didn't grab anything though, expensive siht. So do you work IN RCMH? Or is your place just outside of it. I managed to grab a picture of the Marquee which made me happy. Next step is get tickets to a show there next time I'm in NYC. Yeah I carried my Phat iPod out pretty much all the time I was there changing tracks on the fly. TS isn't really an area where some heavy shizzle wouldn't go down. I got pictures up and plan on making a few blog posts bout my trip. Just like to have a discussion thread here since no one reads the blogs XD (funny thing since I have the 2nd most read blog in all of 1emu yet NO ONE bothers to comment).

    LOl Nah, i work at Del Friscos(Resaurant) across from it. Most expensive restaurant ive ever seen....EVER! Its also right next to the FoX News Building.

     

    Did you go on the thing that tells you which M&M you are?? I was Brown xD
