PS3: Ask a Question

[The_One]

This has probably been asked, but the thread is 57 pages. What exactly comes in the box for the 60gb ps3?

The actual RETAIL box, you mean? The exact same thing that comes with the 20GB model, I'm afraid (That's right, no HDMI cables and no component cables either).

Similar to what is found in the 20GB.

PS3 60gb, which comes with WIFI, and Memorystick

all the specs just check out playstation main site

Composite cable, Powercord, one Sixaxis controller, one USB cable,

a lovely manual, eternet cable, and if you were one of the first 400k you get talagada Nights Blu-ray dvd.

No HDMI cable, no Component cable.

First of all I want to apologise for posting incorrectly. Thanks to The_One for setting me straight.

So here is my question:

Will the Logitech Force Feed back wheel that I purchased for my PS2 work with the PS3? It is the wheel that came out around the time of GT4.

Would Remote Play be possible for a 20gb system running wifi via a wireless ethernet bridge in a future update? Reason I say "future update" and not "now" is because the PS3 doesn't recognize that it's running wirelssly (wireless signal is sent to the PS3 via ethernet cable), so would it even be possible?

Sites have said that the force feedback wheel works with RR7.

I know alot about the ps3 but not this

Does anyone know if sony offers a warrenty you can buy through them? I couldnt or i should didnt want a 60 dollar one year warrenty through gamestop and now im stuck without one and im kinda nervice to say the least. I wish i could just take it to target because its only 50 bucks and its 3 years, but no one allows you to purchase one once you walk out the door with it.

So once agian anyone know if sony offers a extended warrenty though sony?

I believe that's already possible right now (I'm assuming you mean using a bridge that connects to the Ethernet port and not the USB port, correct?). The PS3 can't tell the difference between using a wired connection or a wireless connection if you do this (since the input is still through the Ethernet port).

Thanks for the reply. Does not seem like very good news. Based on what I read it will work but has no force feed back. That is a pretty big let down.

I guess no one knows weather i can play online (R:FOM) with US players on a Japanese PS3 . *sigh*

What exactly are these slots for under the hood?

I know they're all for differnet sorts of memory sticks and whatnot, but I know nothing about them. Do I transfer music/videos/game saves/etc with those memory sticks? Where can I find them, and what's the difference between the three?

[super_noob]

hey on a ps3 can u use it just like a computer with the browser and aol instant messenger and stuff? and how can i get the music from my itunes on to a ps3 would doing it via ipod be the best idea?

Using your iPod to transfer music shouldn't be a problem at all.

As for using it as a PC, it'll be pretty much the same if you install Linux (You can run instant messengers like MSN and AIM), but if you don't, you can still browse the web with the built-in web browser.

They are simply flash memory. You should be able to find USB hubs that can read these type of flash memory for cheap. The memory themselves, on the other hand, is a bit pricey when you start going up on the Storage scale .

Most retail outlets are currently waiting for their next shipment of PS3's before selling them online.

where and how do i install linux onto a ps3

Do you have a USB Keyboard and a DVD burner? If not, don't even attempt it.

If you do have a USB keyboard and want to give it a go, you can download the DVD ISO here:
http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35818

This is for the "Unofficial" Fedora Core 5 distro. YDL distro is the "officially" supported Linux for the PS3, and is slated to be download-able on November the 27th.

[super_noob]

cant u just buy the linux cd at walmart or something and then install it into my ps3? and can u play computer games on ur ps3?

do u have to pay to download it? and will it be like a system update kind of thing, or will u have to get it from ur pc and burn it and load it on or something like that.

[The_One]

Linux is FREE, so you would NEVER find it in Wal-mart (or any other legitimate retail outlet).

You must also burn the ISO on a DVD disc (I believe there are CD distros out there) and install it yourself (which is why I said you'd need a USB keyboard).

and can u play computer games on ur ps3?

If the game supports Linux, then yes.

[super_noob]

do u think i could get someone to burn the disc for me on this forum and mail it to me ? because if so it would be greatly appreciated....or will i still need a usb keyboard even when i get the disc?

You will need a USB keyboard no matter what since you'll need it during the installation process.
