Little Big Planet: what a game!

sony_playstation_ps3

The LittleBigPlanet experience starts with players learning about their character’s powers to interact physically with the environment. There are obstacles to explore, bits and pieces to collect and puzzles to solve – requiring a combination of brains and collaborative teamwork. As players begin to explore, their creative skills will grow and they will be ready to start creating and modifying their surroundings – the first step to sharing them with the whole community. Characters have the power to move anything in this glued and stitched-together landscape; they have the power to design, shape and build both objects and entire locations for others to play. Players can make their world as open or as secretive to explore as they like. When it’s ready, they can invite anyone within the LittleBigPlanet community to come and explore their patch – or can go and explore everybody else’s.

I love these open world type creation games and Little Big Planet will be a success on PS3. I don't see how people can't like this game. It is awesome! It has a fully customisable environment and a character you can outfit as your own. And the backgrounds are just lovely.

How to stream media to your ps3

sony_playstation_ps3

With the latest PS3 firmware 1.80 released on 24th May, it is now possible to enjoy streaming and turn the PS3 in a real media center hub. I am starting this howto for all people wanting to enjoy their MP3, pictures and video as fast as possible :-)
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced today availability of the latest version of the PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) firmware. Version 1.80 features upscaling of PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games, and DVD movies up to full 1080p HD resolution when viewed on a compatible HD TV set.

The capability to upscale DVDs to HD quality is a feature normally only associated with top range DVD players, and its inclusion in the latest firmware upgrade now allows PS3 owners with an existing DVD collection to dramatically enhance the viewing pleasure of their DVD collection when viewed through a compatible HD TV set1. Not only can DVD movies be enhanced to full 1080p HD quality but so too will PlayStation 2 and PlayStation games be upscaled to provide much improved gaming pleasure.
In a comprehensive update to PS3's already impressive capabilities, Version 1.80 also allows users to enjoy Remote Play on their PSP across the internet, allowing them to access their PS3 anywhere in the world where a broadband internet connection is available2.
Version 1.80 also allows users on a home network to seamlessly view and play rich media content such as images, music and video on their PS3, that is stored on their DLNA3 enabled devices such as PCs and laptops elsewhere in the house, reinforcing PS3's credentials as a home entertainment hub that truly deserves pride of place in the Living Room.
A host of other enhancements include the ability to print photo images stored on PS3's hard disk or inserted storage media to a selection of Epson printers.
PS3 owners will be able to upgrade their PS3 with the latest Version 1.80 firmware from 24th May 2007.

PS3 simply rules

sony_playstation_ps3

I simply love my PS3, so quiet and open to changes...

  • You can switch the HDD for a bigger one with no efforts (notebook HDD 2.5'' size replaced in 3 minutes see the video below)

    , or EVEN a 3.5'' size. You will have to backup your game save on an external memory stick/usb disk before going to the new disk
  • Linux, either Debian, Yellow Dog,  Fedora can be installed, I just did not try them, because I am not supporting Gnome, I really miss OpenSuse/KDE at the moment. The linux partition is limited to 10GB
  • USB storage disk are recognized as long as they are formatted with FAT32 (remember NTFS is everything except an open format thanks to M$)
  • I have bought a bluetooth Plantronics discovery 655 headsets which simply work. I've choose an expensive models because I want to use it with my cellular as well, but people have reported that even $9 headset are working.

  • My NAS server bluetooth keyboard (Microsoft Entertainment 7000 wireless) is also simply working
All in one, an expensive machine at first sight, but If you want to do a little bit more thing with a XBOX 360, you will have to pay a lot more!

The PS3 Internet Browser
  • The browser is usable, but even better as soon as you use a bluetooth keyboard,
  • Some page do not render or get displayed because of some internal scripts (flash? javascript?) -> Sony please use Firefox or better Opera
  • The bookmark (select button) is useful as long as you do not have too much entries, as it is not possible to search or organize entries in directory (bookmark is just a list of site title) -> Sony why not using Google bookmark
  • When a site open  popup windows, browsing is starting to be difficult, Sony I need tabs to see what is going on in the background

What XMB is lacking
  • AVI, XVID playback
  • Instant messaging: Skype, Gaim would be great
  • A usable music player, something like Winamp media library or Amarok

I currently own 4 blu-ray and will never buy DVD anymore due to quality jump (no way back)


Sunday Night Foldathon (S.N.F)

sony_playstation_ps3

My Sony PS3 is currently folding like hell for the Team " Sony PlayStation 3"


The S.N.F event is simple.  On Sunday Night (March. 25th 2007) everyone who wants to participate in the S.N.F event simply turn there PS3 on and start the folding program, could be anytime you want or when you goto bed, you may let the program run as long as you want but would be great if it could atleast last till 7am Monday morning,  its all up to you since anything helps. This is to see how much help we (the playstation community) can be for this program and to show them that the feature is being widely used and maybe saving lives in the process.
