I need some help from you PS3 guys...

[fanuvbrak]

I have a PS3. It's connected wirelessly to the internet via my network. In the menu area, it has a thing called "Steve's Computer".

If both my PC and my PS3 are hooked up to the same network, can I access my computer on my PS3?

[Kerouac]

I think you can, but only things that are set in shared folders.

I use tversity - It's a free media server. Once you install it and tell it were your music, videos, and images are you can view/play (stream) them into the PS3 interface. Windows 7 *may* have it built in to WMP - not sure though.

You can use Windows Media Player on your home computer to share your music, videos and pictures with your PS3. It's pretty easy, but I needed directions. http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums...ic_id=25652036

I just use mine to play games...

[Ronk]

So.... any of you guys play MW2 then?

I only play the racing games and pinball.... MW2 is too violent for me. I'm a wuss....

Yes, using a media server is the best. It makes watching movies/TV shows outrageously easy. I only learned a few months ago that the PS3 could do this. To think that all this time I had it and never used it to it's full potential. I feel I mistreated her

PS3 Exclusives? Uncharted and God of War are my favourites so far. Non-exclusives I normally get for my 360 because I think it's the better system overall. I did get Final Fantasy XIII for PS3 though and will be picking it up tomorrow night at midnight!

I did that on my 360 until I got Netflix. I fucking love streaming instantly.

[RevanRagnos85]

I have been hearing that graphically the PS3 version of FFXIII is much better than the 360 version.


Not to start a Console War

[Ronk]

Yeah... I like MW2 online play (campaign mode was pretty dull) ... there is just something I like about playing against/with real people ... I can't get started on another MMO (I just got off a long addiction to WoW) so I'll stick with shooters... Just picked up BC2 this weekend.

I stream Netflix on my PS3 - love it too... looking forward to the end of the year when they can get rid of the disk that needs to go in each time.

[RevanRagnos85]

I have never gotten into MMOs, but that is because my computer sucks. I will likely try The Old Republic though. When Final Fantasy XIV comes out I will get into that too probably. It is going to be a PC/PS3 MMO

Not just that, but I have a little more faith since the past 5 games have been PS exclusive. Plus, PS3 one is one disc... 360 is five!

It blows my mind that people will spend 60 bucks on a game that isn't really a game. They could release it as DLC (like Battlefield 1942) and I might consider playing it online, but $60 is way too much for that crap. Hell, buy the Orange Box and play Team Fortress online for $20, plus you get Half-Life and PORTAL!

I am willing to bet that I get many more hours of enjoyment out MW2 then any single player game though. In fact I think I am at 5 days played right now in MW2. If you figure $/hours I bet I come out with a better value. Its just preference, I like playing against humans that are not predicable it adds a whole new dimension to it. Try it you may like it, buy a used copy or rent it. Just don't quit in the first few min because you will get owned until you get used to the maps and controls.

I don't like shooters on the PC - I like my PS3 controller

I've played it. Game is a $60 plastic TURD. I think you're missing the point about hours/$$ though. Fallout 3 was $60 bucks, has incredibly good AI and I've gotten 70+ hours each play. If MW was available as DLC at a reasonable cost I'd buy it, but there are way better options, even if you do want to play against other people, for a lot cheaper.

[Ronk]

Well, IMO MW2 is the best shooter on the PS3 right now... I'll swing the 60 bucks for a good game.

Borderlands.

Borderlands is probably the best shooter of any kind I've ever played. I have it on my 360 and I join up with my friends and we just fuck shit up. My guy is a gunslinger who can drop most baddies in a couple of seconds. I'd recommend buying it ASAP.
