So my PRE-ORDER at Dell (when they had that $5 off sale) still hasn't shipped.... their website says December 5th expected ship date....
So i email them asking what the meaning of a Pre-Order was because i might have a misunderstanding, and how definate is the Dec 5 ship date?
they replied with "sorry blah blah blah, the updated information in our systems show the expected ship date is Dec 15th"!! -_- lol
im not in a rush to get the game but 2months?! time to pick it up elsewhere

I just picked up Metal Gear 4 from Future Shop for $27. gotta love the price-matching 
Anyone else disappointed with Resistance 2? i just finished the single player a few days ago and i found it kinda boring. the online play is decent but i don't have a mic and headset so yah....lol.
i'm also afraid to say this but, Little Big Planet is so much fun  | |

You then start up your PS3, open the internet browser, type in the ip address of your computer and you will have a directory listing of your pc directories. Go to the desired directory, press triangle>Save Target As. You can now copy anything over 4gb to the ps3 hard drive or an external drive if you have it connected.
I use it when I'm too lazy to connect up my external usb drive to my PC. I have it connected to my ps3 at all times. It holds all my movies, tv shows.

My buddies PS3 died last week. I told him many times that he needed to clean that thing cause it like went into SuperDrive fan mode or something. Sounded like a jet taking off. Months of that happening and boom, he called me telling he was playing RB2 and it just cut out. No freezing nothing, then as he restarted it he got the Yellow light of death. Drove over to Coq centre repair depot and got nailed for like $160 plus tax since he bought his nearly 1.5 years ago. Im guessing all the dust totally smothered it and caused it to overheat.
On another note, I got R2 also like 3 weeks ago and I have to say it isnt nearly as fun as COD WaW. I havent touched it since. LBP on the other hand is amazingly fun, two friends can play on one system at his house and im at home with friends at my house and we can all play online maps and do story mode. SO fun

I don't use one. My ps3 came with 4 USB Connections on the front of it (first gen 80gb), so I decided to have all my movies and tv shows on external USB drives sitting neatly on my av rack next to my ps3.
I download only high quality rips and have ripped my whole dvd collection to the drive already.
Rarely do I leave my computer up and running all the time and I didn't want to depend on the computer to be on for watching movies. With the prices of external hard drives I just found it worth it.
1TB drives can hold A LOT of media as we all know. If I'm using 4 of those that's a shit ton of movies. I can sit down, use the PS3 Media remote control and watch any movie any time.
I found with TVersity you lose some quality sometimes.
If you do want to use a USB drive, it has to be formatted for FAT32 (as I'm sure it's been discussed in this thread, I didn't read the whole thing). Use a program called Swiss Knife to format it. It can be found here: http://www.compuapps.com/Download/sw...swissknife.htm
Use this along with Red Kawa File server (link in above post) to copy over movies, music, pictures to your ps3.

How can the PS3 get sooo dusty like that? maybe it doesn't have enough space to vent the air out, like being placed in a tight area?
Also thanks for posting that link for Rogers!!

+, TVersity streams work wonders. But you better be watching the movie throughout.
The thing refuses to scan/ffw scenes.

The Superdrive Fan mode is done by turning off your system. Once it's off, flip the switch in the back to off. Hold down the eject button and turn on the switch. Some people say it cleans it out, some people say it damages it. I personally haven't tried it.
Heres the vid of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhU4_...eature=related | |

^ lol fuck that..
tonight im gonna clean mine out by taking it to my garage and using my air compressor to spray out the back vents and fan, should be good enough
BTW.. fuck i am super impressed by the quality of MGS4, i've never played the previous metal gears but the uncompressed 7.1 dolby audio from that game is -insane-
i swear i havent heard such good sound even on bluray movies as of yet, truely shows the potential of games taking advantage of the bluray disc

I'm just using a swiffer duster to sweep it around the vent area and the top 3-4 times a week.

I think it would be a better idea to vacuum the vents to pull the dirt out, rather than push them in with an air compressor. I recently vacuumed my wife's laptop and the temperature went down by like 10 celsius. The fan used to always run at high speed, but now it never does.

Nono, that Superdrive thing i mentioned was a figure of speech lol. That fantrick isnt supposed to be used to clean the dust.
If our warranties are already void, do you think its cool to just open it up and clean it out manually?
