I was apart of the Underground and I've used the exact same email address for everything since I was about 7 years old. If you use the same email as you did back then, that's how they keep track of all your information. Luckily enough I've used the same one all these years because that's what eventually got my account deactivated on one of my old consoles as well as the credit for my troubles.
Oh yeah well I'm definitely not using the same address as I did back then. Dah oh well..Quote:

Firmware 3.50 coming on Tuesday....
http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/16/ps...3d-blu-ray-su/
Sony has announced the next update for the PS3. Coming two weeks after the release of system update 3.42 will be firmware update 3.50, the long-awaited update that adds 3D Blu-ray movie support to the console. (The PS3 is already compatible with 3D games.) While the date was announced for Japanese press at the Sony TGS press conference, it's likely that this will be made available worldwide simultaneously.
It really amazes me how much they can add to the PS3 with these updates. I NEVER would have imagined that PS3 could go from a DVD/Blue Ray player at first to also being a 3D player now.Quote:

Maybe it's just me... BUT... I want the 3D phenomena to go away. Seriously, I don't want to wear glasses and play a video game or watch TV. I know, I'm old school...
You're not the only one.
Some of us can't take advantage of 3D even if we wanted to ...
Anyone having problems signing in to PSN? I installed the update this morning and now this afternoon I get either a wrong e-mail/password error message when I try to sign in but my password/sign in is set to auto sign in and I haven't changed my e-mail/password.
PSN is down until 5pm Pacific.Quote:

From Joystiq:
Starting this Saturday, the PlayStation Store will update with one free movie rental as part of its "Midnight Movies" promotion. But, there's a catch! You'll need to sign on to the PSN between 8PM and 6AM EST. This weekend's movie will be Bram Stroker's Dracula.
Playstation Phone.
Finally.

Hulu Plus Soon Available to All PS3 Users
As you may have already seen, today Sony announced the availability of the Hulu Plus service on 2010 BRAVIA HDTVs and BRAVIA Internet Video Link via the BRAVIA Internet Video platform and will soon be available on Blu-ray Disc players, Blu-ray Home Theater Systems, Network Media Player and DASH. But, perhaps the most exciting news for all of you PlayStation fans is the upcoming availability of Hulu Plus to all PlayStation 3 users in the United States who enjoy free access to PlayStation Network and its variety of online content.
Beginning next week, Hulu Plus will lift the invitation-only availability of its service, which was previously exclusive to select PlayStation Plus subscribers, and open it up to all PlayStation Network members, making the PlayStation 3 the first and only console dedicated to gaming to offer the service.
The Hulu Plus subscription service offers full current season runs of hit TV programs from major broadcast programming studios and will add to the more than 27,800 movies and TV episodes already available on the PlayStation Store, providing the most exhaustive catalogue of entertainment content to PlayStation Network members.
We’ll have more to share next week, so make sure to check back in for details on where you can find Hulu Plus on the PlayStation Network.
Looks like Move > Kinect.
Problems being reported with people calibrating the Kinect. Joystiq illustrates it kinda well:

Hahahaha. I couldn't get the Move, because of it's suggested space of 6-8 ft between the EyeToy and the Move controller. I certainly couldn't get something that couldn't handle furniture in the area. My apt has stuff all over the place.
Here's a Joystiq article on what JB's talking about: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/11/04/ki...ooms-a-survey/
Wow, MAG is really not that great of a FPS... I gotta say I'm severely unimpressed with it...
I love it. I poured over 300 hours into it and I still play it on a fairly routine basis. It's definitely a love or hate game.
My ps3 ylod'd for the second time yesterday. The first was 3 months ago. I got it running again, but I don't want to push it. Very soon, I'm going to buy a new slim (I have a 60 GB launch model), transfer the data, and trade this baby in.
That's exactly what I did. I'm keeping my fat PS3 around in case I want to use the BC (at this point I probably won't ever use it again), but I got it fixed so I could transfer the data. Plus, I knew a "fixed" PS3 would never hold up against NCAA 11 :D
Yeah, the 60 GB fatty still fetches around 150 from GameStop, so I think I'll just dump it after moving my data.Quote:

I was wondering what it did. I was gonna comment that, once again, the fonts look different and "crisper" on TGT on the ps3 web browser after the update.Quote:

Well, once you figure out a way around it, it's not going to be very hard to figure out how to modify the hack. Or, it's at least going to be significantly less hard.Quote:

Anyone know what tonight's Firmware update does? (3.65, I believe)
Just security fixes.Quote:

That security patch which basically disabled homebrew, was hacked again within an hour of it being released. Wow. Something tells me there's nothing Sony can do to prevent it now.
On an unrelated note, my PS3 has been making this weird noise coming from the disc drive. It'll actually freeze the game for a second or two, make a loud drive noise like it's having trouble reading, and then work fine for a few minutes. Weird thing is that it does it even when playing a downloaded game, so it makes me believe it may be a hard drive issue, but it sounds an awful lot like a disc reading noise. I swear to God, if this thing stops reading discs, I'm going to calmly send it to Sony(this one is actually under warranty for like 9 more months), get it back, sell it on eBay, and never buy another Sony product again.
Meanwhile, my launch 360 still works. :D
Not that I use it, but it does work if I needed it!
Thank you, buddy.Quote:

A product/software's security is only as good as the hackers they have employed.
Sounds like Sony needs to do some more hiring.
Yeah there is that route. However, with a hacking community as large as the PS3 one likley is it almost becomes cost prohibitive for the company to hire enough hackers to outman/smart the hackers.Quote:
