Topic: PS3 as a blu-ray player

[shuttlexp]

Yes, I agree updating tru USB is much faster. I only tried once updating direct from the PS3 & never would do that again...

i updated my system from 2.42 to 2.52 direct from ps3, it only takes 2mins to download and install the updates...
so far no problems encountered

kamusta naman ang ps3 as a blu-ray player sa SDTV?

I believe SD quality rin ang lalabas since youre just using an SDTV so no difference lang din siguro from watching a DVD.

a lot here in the Philippines doesnt know that outputting HD videos is not that simple since you'll have lot of different factors like source and TV and cables, yung iba iniisip nila na dahil naka hdtv na sila gaganda at dapat hd na rin mapapanood nila when playing pirated dvds

[darkwing]

true tsk tsk

yea i know na iba naman talaga ang sdtv sa hdtv. gusto ko lang din malaman talaga if blurry or pixelated yung images.

via dvd component or rca? 
if via dvd component it should look like a very good copy of a dvd movie 
via rca .. well ill try it .. (i need to look for my ps3's box though)

i see.. if via dvd component, maganda na rin ang resolution niya? i saw some screenshots kasi sa isang site wherein they compared hd vs sd presentation ng ps3. sa sd malabo and hirap basahin ng in-game text sa hd naman eh ang linaw sobra.

thats one of the downside of SD 
i dont think ill ever play ps3 on a sdtv, dami mawawala

Hello guys!  I recently purchased a PS3 from Datablitz.  Tanong ko lang, dun sa creation ng account sa Playstation Network, walang 'Philippines' sa drop-down list.  Ganun ba talaga?   

[Bolshoie]

kahit anong gaming console hindi talaga kasama philippines...BLAME PIRACY    gawa nalang kayo sir ng US account or asian account.all you'll need is the right state and zip code. US account = US PSN servers

[SiCkBoY]

Thanks!  Does it make a difference kung US servers?

[darkwing]

it will make a difference sa PSN store, in fact I have 4 PSN ids lols Asian, US, EU, Japan, my main is a US one, and currently only the Asian Store accepts local CCs

[SiCkBoY]

Ah. But with regard to online multiplayer, no effect?

sirs question lang, what could be the problem if my ps3 keeps on signing out of PSN?  when i play bigla na lang mag e-error na signed out na daw ako sa PSN... do i have to forward a port for ps3? what can i do to prevent this... any help would be appreciated 

thanks!

^bro u can try to change the DNS to 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3.

[pchin]

Need an excuse to get a standalone BD player. I'm waiting for my PS3 to break down (lens problem, etc) but after so many months of abuse this one tough machine is still alive & kicking...no sign of slowing down at all.

This is what I did.  I set my PS3 to use a static IP and opened the necessary ports.  I'm also using the above-quoted DNS servers.  Ok na ang download.  Di na nadidisconnect or nagsa-sign out.

Pero... ano yun media server?
