once u got the headset and the ps3 sync, when u start the game, hold the button to hear a beep again... after that it should be fine

i figure that out like 3 days later after i bought the game, i was pissed cuz i thought my headset was broken..

do that everytime u turn on ur headset to play, after u turn it on, hold the button again to hear the beep....

You need to use HDMI for 1080p.

No experience with a Bose system...

Does your Bose accept HDMI in and has HDMI out? If so then simply run the HDMI cable through your Bose reciever then back to the TV. Then on the PS3 configure the audio to run through HDMI.

If not then do you have an optical cable? Connect to your PS3 and Bose receiver then once again set up your PS3's audio to Optical Out.

If not then use the PS2 RCA cable. Connect that to your PS3 and to your Bose system and once more configure audio to use RCA.

All else fails RTFM... that's what I do.

-------------------------------------

So who here's waiting for "Hello World" on the PS3? I know I am! The posibilities!

Has anyone tried Linux on their PS3 yet? I hear it's still quite featureless.

Also would anyone recommend Lair? I saw the freakin' dragons and was like "Oh yes, biting freakin' heads off!".

Read the f'in manual.

-----------------------------------

How do you explain "Hello World"....

Okay, all consoles use something called "signed code" which is a registered console thing that can only be established if you created an official game or program. Simply put, lets say it's an official game.

Now what people that create things such as "homebrew" do is run programs on the console that the console does not recognize. This is can be put as "unsigned code". Normally running unsigned code leads to crashes, errors or other unwanted effects. Using loops holes or system tweaks (like PS1/2 mod chips) a user is then able to run unsigned code (homebrew, custom XMB ((skins)), backed-up games.

Now when groups or people figure out a way to run "unsigned code" on a console they normally like to show off their hard work and create a very simple program called "Hello World". This pretty much does just as it's called and says HELLO WORLD on the console screen.

Even though this might be pointless it actually is quite revolutionary because it states a fact to the world that "homebrew" will be available soon after. Or in it's simplest form, backups of games.

----------------------------------------------

Considering the CPU capabilities of the PS3 it would be amazing if it could run a smooth Linux. Then it would be able to run Windows emulation. IMO, even taking up processing power, it would be faster then any computer you could build for $600!

it really depends on what he is using the system for. for me, the PS3 is far better than the 360 solely for the fact that it is a BR player.

in terms of a gaming system i'd say the PS3 is still wayyy behind even the wii strictly based on Twilight Princess

PS3 is amazing because of the technical specs but that is also it's draw back.

I think it's explained the best by the creators of the whole GT series. Back in PS1 glory, it took one person one day to spec out a car. For PS2 it became one person a week to spec out a car. Now with the PS3 it takes one person a whole month to spec out a car.

For the game creators to make a good game is a much lengthier process then compared with the Wii.

I see it as comparing a person making a you tube cartoon and a person making an anime.

Both people viewing are looking for entertainment, but when a person who looks on youtube for video they don't care about the quality.

It's the moment that counts for Wii. It's the longitivity for PS3.

I'd rather wait for another "Oblivion" for the PS3 then have them throw out more "Gundams" (I personally thought Gundam for PS3 was the biggggggggggggggest waste of money)

also keep in mind that (afaik) the wii is essentially the same system as the gamecube so in terms of developing for it all dev's had to do was change the control scheme and blamo, you got wii games.
