Got a PS3 today...

Stan · 08/04/2007, 08:28 PM

Read last night that it can run Ubuntu and decided it would be a good weekend project. Currently the file copy is at 81%. Can't wait to see how this goes.

The TV I am running it on is an HDTV but has no HDMI port. Right now I am hooked up with a Component cable. The TV I am using have has a DVI input and a VGA input. What would be the best way to hook it up? I have 4 HDTV's and none have an HDMI. Talk about bad timing with my purchases, lol.

As for games, most of the games I am excited about aren't out yet. I picked up Tiger Woods 07 and Ridge Racer V. Madden 08 will be next.

TE · 08/04/2007, 09:52 PM

use DVI, its pretty much HDMI minus the sound

ClipseGT2K4 · 08/04/2007, 10:17 PM

I finally decided to get one today as well (thanks TE) Actually I am just setting it up as I post this, from the PS3 web browser. I bought NCAA 08 so far, and Madden will be next!

I didnt buy any of the Hi Def cables tonight but I am sure it will look good as is!

Know any good cables out there?

NAPALM · 08/05/2007, 12:54 AM

The acoustic research cables at best buy are good and are reasonably priced in case you dont want to wait for an online order.
And a place called RAM makes good cables; Custom Cables and Wire Harness Manufacturing

Like TE said, whatever you do, dont waste $100+ on Monster cables like a fool. As long as the connectors dont fall off then its high quality when it comes to digital cabling.

Bitter · 08/05/2007, 01:08 AM

i'd be interested to know how ubuntu runs on it and how it can dual boot. i know linux can be ran on a PS2, they sure got it on a PS3 fast.

edit, just read about the install. sounds pretty painless!

I personally am a fan on http://www.monoprice.com

Stan · 08/05/2007, 02:23 PM

I am headed off to BB to get an HDMI to DVI converter... or cable... or something.

I have read mixed reports online on the ability to use the HDMI and AV Multiport on the PS3 at the same time. Since the DVI won't do anything with the audio, I need to get the sound out to the RCA's on my TV. We shall see what I find!

Ubuntu is running fine, but it doesn't pick up the wireless card in the PS3. That really sucks, as my setup is nowhere near my switch. There is another build that someone did that apparently detects the wireless. I am going to reformat and give that a go. Reports are mixed but it can't hurt to try (the whole project is useless to me without wireless). Linky: psubuntu.com | Ubuntu on a Playstation 3 » Blog Archive » Custom compiled kernel

Get a regular HDMI cable from Monoprice. Then include a HDMI->DVI adapter. Allows you to reuse the cable when you get a TV that has HDMI later on. Plus Monoprice have extremely reasonable pricing onthe cables. One thing to be careful though, for some reason I can't get the PS3 on DVI to display when plugged into a projector at work. The projector does support 1080p natively too. Don't know why and never figured it out. Just FYI.

There's tutorials on installing Ubuntu on PS3. It used to be you need to use a flash drive to put otheros.bld on the drive to install, but with firmware 1.90, that is included, so you just put the CD in, go in to XMB, select install otherOS and voila it installs. Yellowdog seems to install with the least amount of effort though.

Stan · 08/10/2007, 09:28 AM

Ok, got my HDMI cable and adapter. Went to Best Buy so I am sure I payed way over but whatever, at least I will get some reward zone points.

I had Ubuntu installed but it didn't run so hot. Problems with networking (both wired and wireless) and display modes. Right now I am hooked up to my 65 inch HD projection screen running Yellow Dog and everything is working fine.

I want to be hooked up to one of my 22 inch Philips LCD's, but when I put the adapter on the end of the HDMI cable it doesn't fit. The base of the monitor gets in the way. I have to get a DVI gender-bender so I can hook up a regular DVI cable to the monitor, then the HDMI-DVI adapter. Headed off to try to find one in a bit.

QiG · 08/24/2007, 09:10 PM

Picked up a 60gb PS3 today due to the $150 credit available with a sonystyle card. Brought the purchase price done to $387 after tax. This thing will be pretty much worthless to me until early next year when the blockbusters come out unless I set it up to play some old ps2 games

TE · 08/25/2007, 09:48 PM

I bought a 60 last week. All I have done is watch BL movies on it. If Lair is good it will be my first game purchase

Mav · 08/25/2007, 10:57 PM

I heard madden is worse on ps3. Xbox = 60fps and ps3 = 30fps.

scoliosis · 08/25/2007, 11:05 PM

Is that average frame rate or sustained frame rate? So what is the observed difference between 60fps and 30 fps?

JesterClip · 08/26/2007, 12:35 AM

Not too sure but I remember that some games on the ps3 would chop up when things got busy. It's definitely an amazing machine but developers seem to have trouble with it.

"Stock for stock", the PS3 does not include a high def cable. That is one of the reasons it will not look as good off the bat.

I havent bought madden for my 360 yet since It hasnt been returned from the ring of death repair, but on my PS3 it is HORRIBLY slow in the menus.

sunky · 08/26/2007, 11:55 AM

ohh ok i didnt know that. i just thought they hooked them up with all the proper cables so they can make more sales.

What option did you guys use for game and DVD upconversion. There were a couple choices and I had no clue what the difference between them is

I haven't played PS2 games, so no idea about it.
For DVDs, I use Normal. The others will stretch or zoom the display. I also do not use the deblocking filters, it's plenty sharp on my screen without those turned on. No jaggies whatsoever.

Or if you don't mind signing up for a credit card, search slickdeals forums for sonystyle and you can get $150 off $500.. mine came to $373 after tax for 60gb. 0% interest for 12 months too.

I followed this link without double checking and ordered a Male HDMI-Male DVI cable. You will most likely need a Male HDMI-Male HDMI cable to go from PS3 to TV. Make sure you get the right cable unlike me

DailyTech - More Evidence Surfaces of 40GB PlayStation 3

Quote:

UPC numbers and retail inventory documents point to 40GB PS3 incoming

According to Sony’s original estimates, stock of the 60GB PlayStation 3 should be nearly depleted from North American store shelves. With the $499 machine soon gone from retail, the effective cost to buy a PlayStation 3 would be the $599 charged for the 80GB model – that is, unless Sony changes its pricing model.

In addition to analysts expecting the price drop of the $599 model, stronger evidence of an even cheaper PS3 SKU with a 40GB hard drive is now surfacing from various sources. The UPC database lists product codes specifically for a “SONY PLAYSTATION 3 40GB.”

An internal document from big box retailer Best Buy also lists a 40GB PS3 machine for $399. The product description also includes the word “SPIDER,” leading credence to a previous report of Sony bundling Spider-Man 3 on Blu-ray Disc with PS3 consoles this holiday season. According to the document on Engadget, the new 40GB PS3 is listed with an in-stock date of October 28, 2007.

The lower-cost PS3 will also likely hit in Europe as well, with UK online retailer Play.com listing new product “Sony Playstation 3 PS3 Console With 40GB HDD” as coming soon.

Rumblings of a new PlayStation 3 model were strongly sparked earlier this week when an FCC filing by Sony revealed new model number CECHG01. Furthermore, existence of this new model was again proven with the CECHG01 number being listed explicitly as a qualifying device on the Blu-ray Savings “Five Free Movies” promotion.

There's nasty rumors going around that this 40GB PS3 loses backward-compatibility with PS1/PS2 games, but we'll have to wait until October 12th to verify that.

supergouki · 10/03/2007, 01:09 AM

Ok, all these different hardware releases are just getting stupid! Give us more games already!!!!

I almost don't really care about the backwards compatibility, the lower price will make it more attainable for Christmas.

If you haven't gotten the hint yet, we really don't take console/OS fanboism lightly here. If you're happy with your 360, that's great, but don't go pissing on someone else's parade. If you enjoy it and got your money's worth, that's all that matters.

Am I like the only one who never had that problem with the 360? Yet I'm on my 3rd PS3.... And I've yet to find a decent game for it other than Warhawk and that played itself after a week soo its back to Socom.

I never had the rrod, mine freezes up while online every once in a while, network problems. What game does yours freeze up? Also their are a few isolated problems with the rf card/motherboard going bad, it caused you to not be able to use wireless items, i.e. controller, headset.

Stan · 10/14/2007, 02:45 PM

Well... 2 months and 10 days later, my PS3 is going back to Sony for repairs.

I updated to 1.93 and it won't read disks anymore.

I've seen some people online with the same problem right after updating to 1.93. I am guessing some developer(s) at Sony will be losing their jobs over this one.

Glad I have Halo 3 to keep be busy for a bit. They say the turn around time is 7 - 10 days from when they get my broken PS3 back.

executive Damn I look good Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Houston, Tx Vehicle: 07' GT Spyder 6spd mt Posts: 922	Am I like the only one who never had that problem with the 360? Yet I'm on my 3rd PS3.... And I've yet to find a decent game for it other than Warhawk and that played itself after a week soo its back to Socom. __________________ Last time I checked, no one gave a damn.

Stan It's TEE not TE, wtf Join Date: Aug 2001 Location: Syracuse, NY Vehicle: 08 Mitsu Lancer Posts: 3,881	Well... 2 months and 10 days later, my PS3 is going back to Sony for repairs. I updated to 1.93 and it won't read disks anymore. I've seen some people online with the same problem right after updating to 1.93. I am guessing some developer(s) at Sony will be losing their jobs over this one. Glad I have Halo 3 to keep be busy for a bit. They say the turn around time is 7 - 10 days from when they get my broken PS3 back.
