I just bought my PS3 yesterday! What a treat to have the update recently. However, there aren't many GOOD games to buy... However, I see lots of games upcoming that looks fabulous!

just the standard JPG, MPG and MP3!! i was already trying with files that are standard!!!

both my MCE and my Desktop can see the PS3 and my PS3 can see them. but NONE of them can see the shared files

not even between the MCE and Desktop. neither can my xbox see the files.

The reason why I plan to buy there is I plan to trade in a game so I can still get credit from them in store.

Also, can the PS3 play avi files now with the new firmware upgrade?

I haven't tried God of War yet (it has an in-game widescreen setting) I've been playing Chaos Legion and the sides are squished in now. it used to have 2 black bars on the side like 2 inches thick, now it's like 5 inches thick on both sides.

hmm eb does price match on games. just not the hardwares. you don't really need to have a flyer to do a pricematch cause they'll call fs or bs for you to confirm a price if you don't have the flyers with you ~ at least that's the case in coquitlam and lougheed ~ dunno about the other stores

im always curious is 1080i better than 720p?

i heard some ppl said 720p will be better


i understand P is better than I


but 1080's resolution is bigger than 720

so its like tryin to spread a 1.0mp picture on to a 70" tv vs a 2.0mp pic ..obviously the 2.0mp will look better becuz it has bigger resolutions to stretch??

P has more lines than i....but nth to do with the resolution i believe


somebody correct me if im wrong

It depends on the subject matter. For fast moving scenes like sports and video games, definitely DEFINITELY a progressive stream is required. However, for slow moving scenes in dramas, etc, then interlaced can be fine, allowing a higher screen resolution.

wrong.

1080I=1080 lines of horizontal resolution, drawn in even and odd lines @ 30 times/second each

720P=720 lines of horizontal resolution drawn 60times/second

i'm pretty sure it's removed coz it was mentioned a in one of the forum a while back to cut back cost and increase production

as for price matching ~ i guess it depends on who you are dealing with ~
