via Eurogamer: link

Sony has taken the wraps off a new television tuner and personal video recorder for PS3 in its Games Convention 2007 press conference.

Dubbed PlayTV, it will let you watch and record your favourite shows on your console completely independently of each other - so you can view something while saving something else. If you like.

There they are, one big happy, telly-watching family.
You'll be able to choose programmes to... More

PS3 Papers

Blog: PS3, Screen Shots, Wallpaper

I made a website that hosts wallpapers for the PS3. These are just images I've collected from wallpaper threads on various public forums.

The concept is you can visit the address on your PS3 and download directly to the hard drive.

Rainbow 6: Vegas - How Armor Works

Blog: Accuracy, Armor, Movement, PS3, Rainbow 6, Vegas

This is a repost from the UBIsoft forums written by DredlyLB ... Some real good stuff in here so I wanted to share.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever wonder if armor was worth wearing? Not sure if a single round headshot will kill a player wearing full heavy armor? Been curious about whether wearing armor on just one leg gives that leg extra protection? Finally, here are the answers . . .

First of all, I want to thank Dredly for hooking u... More

Official LAIR Site Launched

Blog: Dragon Riding, Dragons, LAIR, PS3, Six Axis

The official LAIR website was just launched! link

I have to say that the movies on the site make the game look really good. Lots of odd creatures and two civilizations to see. Plus the combat looks like a lot of fun.

I enjoyed a few of ann mccaffrey's books (Pern, Dragon Riders, Etc) and this game looks like it presents things just like I would imagine it. It anything, the game should have some nice e... More

Now you can create, mix and sample tracks on the go with your PSP. Traxxpad blends the power of sequencers, drum machines, and keyboards while simultaneously making the e... More

Best Festival I've Never Been To

Motor Storm Review

I've been to a lot... Music Festivals (mostly), NASCAR, Drag Races.... Too many to count when I think back. But I've never seen anything like this.

This is a review of the single player game. I have not yet gone on-line as I want to play and unlock everything and learn the tracks as I've heard you'll be left in the dust if you do not. Likewise, I dont have a high def set yet., so I'm on composit video (digital surround though).

The opening is breath taking... Burning man meets dead ... More

On-Line Cheating - Why do people do this?

Blog: Cheating, Complaint Form, On-line, Playstation, PS3

My first real on-line gaming experience was on the PSP. I picked up SOCOM Fire Team Bravo and loved it.

What happened was people exploted the PSP and created ways to hack the game. Basically they send extra data in the stream from game system to game server. Game rules are all on the gaming system. So by making your system go outside of the rules, the server allows in and then in game you have results that can give the cheater an advantage.

In the PSP community, we could do nothi... More

File Transfer from PC to PS3 via your Network

Blog: File Transfer, PS3, UPnP, Web Server

A web server on your PC can help you out.

We know you cant see your PS3 from your PC . Wouldn't it be nice to drag files from your PC to your PSP? Well since you can't, I've come up with a work around for it. A web server.

In my examply, I am using IIS. But you can use any web server you want. Some will argue about the security of IIS, but I use it in the corporate world and have 0 issues. Now I'm not going to go into detail about step by step as this is just conceptually how you do ... More

Why the distaste for Sony? Why the Console Wars?

Blog: anti-fanboy, fanboy, PS3, Sony

I dont understand it...

To me it seems that the media wants the PS3 to fail. I am far from understanding why. On-line, Off-line, heck, even TIME magazine it taking swings at the PS3 before the device can even get up in the air.

It's a fact that the supply for the PS3 is greatly under the demand. Finding a unit is nearly as lucky as winning a few hundred bucks on a scratch off lotto ticket. You cant find them in stores, you cant order them on-line, but they are being distributed. They ... More

Alternate History = Awesome Gaming!

Resistance: Fall of Man Review

This review is just a review of the campaign that I'm about 1/2 way through... Far enough to give it a fair review.

Check out the alternate history of the world posted at Wiki: link

I've never played a PS2 FPS like Socom. So the control was newer to me and took a bit of getting used to. I started out with this game by playing the demo from the PS3 store. I died many a time before I could shoot back like a real person would... After an hou... More
