PS3: Ask a Question

[Panda Bear Shenyu]

I have a question, since HDMI carries a digital signal for both image and audio. How will I play with my optical cable (for Surrond Sound) without hearing audio coming out of my TV.

Simple, connect HDMi to your TV and turn its volume to zero. Then, hook up a set of composite or component cables into your PS3's analogue output (AV output in the back) and hook that up to your stereo system.

I had a feeling thats what I had to do, thanks for the reply.

Or, on a ps3 interface video (the new phil harrison one actually) it shows you that you choose whether it comes out of hdmi, dvi etc in the settings option

I'm going to predcit q4 2007 or somewhere in 2008, if history has taught us anything though expect them to be Japanese only.

Will the PS3 work better and not get as heated when its layed down?
Will it get more heated when stood up?
Im really sorry if this is a stupid question im just wondering.

[ard master]

if I attach a printer to the ps3 will it be able to print things off the internet?
And secondly could i transfer data from the ps3 to a different computer (ei. writing from the internet) using a usb storage device?

It won't make much of a difference.

I don't think so. However, this function may be added later through updates.

I would think so. The PS3 is able to read memory cards, so reading USB storage devices is likely.

Will bestbuy be taking Preorders?

Will I be able to use a USB keyboard and mouse for Resistence: Fall of Man?

Is any cheap HDMI cable as good in picture quality as those expensive HDMI cables?.

[Zoibie]

its up to Insomniac whether they add keyboard and mouse functionality in. My guesse is they won't

i don't know

Possibly not.

That is up to the developers, and since Resistance is an FPS, the answer to your question is yes.

Yes, picture quality is not affected by the cable.

im thinking of buying a new hdtv for my room so i can play my ps3 at the best quality, but im stuck between two tvs one is the new sharp 37' 1080p tv and the other is the westinghouse 37' 1080p tv. which one would look better with a ps3. I would use it for games not movies.

[Haugenbaugh]

when do you think gamestop will start taking preorders

In videos shown of the OS, there is Keyboard and mouse support, so I would assume so.

I've never heard of westinghouse so i'd go for the sharp but thats just me.

when do you think the ps3 will start being manufactured in the 65nm process?

[Deldwen]

1. when u update ur HDD to say from a 60 to a 300gb will memory from 60gb be gone?

2. will the HDD be built in saving games type of memory?

3. how much memory will the memory cards have

4. whats flash memory

Both will be the same quality, go for the cheaper offer.

when do you think gamestop will start taking preorders

According to some presumptions, they will start taking preorders in October.

when do you think the ps3 will start being manufactured in the 65nm process?

Probably after the first four million units have been shipped.

2. will the HDD be built in saving games type of memory?

3. how much memory will the memory cards have

4. whats flash memory

1. No. It will stay on the 60GB HDD unless you remove it yourself.

2. What do you mean? Could you rephrase that question, please?

3. There hasn't been much info on what will be in the box. If the PS3 does come with memory cards, I suspect they will be 32MB.

4. Flash memory is the type of memory you find in USB storage devices, MMC, Memory Stick etc. etc. The information can be easily erased from the computer, like your MP3 player does.

I would go with the Sharp because the Westinghouse is not a native 1080p television, where as the Sharp has a native resolution of 1080p and picture quality will be much better.

[Haugenbaugh]

60gb is too much storage dont you think. I've had a ps2 for 3 years and i havent even filled up 24mb. in my opionion 60gb is just a waste of money. i know they have a 20gb model, but it doesnt have memory card reader or wifi.

The westinghouse also has a native res. of 1080at least the w3 one does

[Meth]

My apologies I was at the Westinghouse site and looking at LCD televisons. The 1080p Westinghouse is a monitor. Sorry about that.

so are you still with the sharp?

My PC holds 70gb and i only have 3gb left. i am planning to put loads of movies, videos, music and pictures on mine and still have 20gb to spare for game demos etc. If you think 60gb is too much, get the 20gb version

[Meth]

Yeah I would still go with the Sharp though. Sharp is a very good quality brand name in LCDs.
