Wouldn't breaking the seal and claiming as gift fix this?

well..that's the downside when you want to make xbox able. the in game graphic had to go down a bit so xbox people no need a lot of DVD to play the game.

In-game graphics probably doesn't have much to do with the DVD drive.

If anything, the PS3 has a BD read speed and a RAM bottleneck.

In-game graphics are more to actual hardware than the media it goes on.

sigh, how come godofwar3 not running 1920x1080p ? i checked my lcd info while the game is running, the reso just 1280x720p,

How to make it run 1920x1080i?

But during PS3 menu time when start the ps3, the reso is 1920x1080p.

when turn on GOW3 the reso dropped to 720p and my fullhd lcd tv flickered to change to 720p.

any advice?
*
If GoW3 ran at 1080p, the visuals won't be as good.

I would say the in-game graphics are based on the developers skill instead. If they can optimise it properly for the hardware itself, it will run good.

In any case, GoW 3 is developed by Sony's own studio and FFXIII is developed by SE, who is a third party dev. So there might be some differences in developer coding skills there. Also, the Crystal Tools engine isn't a PS3 platform engine only, therefore there might be some optimisation problems due to it being a multi-platform engine.

Bear in mind the game itself is only around 8GB (FFXIII), so it's not a problem with the DVD count, they could even spare another DVD to make it 4 DVDs if they could optimise the graphics for in-game further if they wanted. But I suppose time wasn't a there for them to do it. Since the X360 version lacks some self shadows on the characters compared to the PS3 version.
*
Actually, the only thing I see improving by increasing the disc count would be the cutscenes.

Most of the compression is on cutscenes, and as such, they are pretty terribad on the 360.

Add to that the skill of SSM people... tongue.gif

wah then why don't make it 1080p to make the money we spend on the lcd tv fullHD worth it. Sigh then what is the use of 1080p besides errmm.. Anything you all can think of? there's no applications at this moment running 1080p wor

I think the main reason why a dev won't bother with 1080p usually is that while the resolution boost is there, they have to sacrifice eye candy to free up the Cell to draw nearly double the number of pixels.

Add to that how most people say they can't see the difference sad.gif

I don't think a dev would like it if they spent months optimizing a game to run in 1080p only to have people whining about 1080p being 'useless' and how they could've swapped the pixels for eye candy icon_rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(ffrulz @ Apr 14 2010, 10:01 PM)
Yeap, one of the reasons is this. Why 1080P when you can have better performance + graphics @ 720P? But sadly this isn't the case for games in the current generation. We still have a lot of games that struggle running @ 1280x720 and are forced to be displayed below 720P.
*
Frankly, I feel that sub-720p is just the easy way out for most devs.

Games like UC2 can run at native 720p with 2xAA while a game like MW2 runs at 600p and only 2xAA.

I could rant more about 600p, but I'd have to enter 360 territory tongue.gif

You might need to go back to Sony to replace the battery. It is user removable and they teach you how to remove it in the PS3's manual, however the battery isn't some normal AA or AAA battery you find in Hypermarkets or something. And please don't trust third party batteries. You might not know what will happen the next thing you turn on the controller.
*
They do not replace old batteries.

They teach you how to remove batteries so you can remove them before throwing the controller as you shouldn't throw batteries with your regular trash.

Is this official? Probably someone can e-mail Sony themselves and confirm whether do they offer battery replacements for a fee or something.

EDIT:

You could replace with a lithium-ion batt, but it would be more trouble than its worth.

The sticks also seem to lose calibration after a year or two (at least mine do) and become a pain to use sad.gif

I'm pretty sure only 3.5" HDD come in TB, so you'd need some SATA tape first.

Exists, Its gonna be expensive, coz you need the laptop version of the HDD, the smaller 1, 1 tb just came out for it. You best bet would be 640gb.

Why in the world would you need 1 TB anyway? You need to format it to FAT 32, which means you cant transfer a single file larger than 4 gb. Want watch HD movie so troublesome. Plus PS3 does not support MKV files for now, you either need to stream MKV (No need HDD) or convert all your MKV to VOB files

1TB laptop exists, but expensive.

Which is why I suggested the SATA tape and desktop 1TB HDD instead tongue.gif

yo mr ben. i didnt really understand what the video was showing.

1TB external is it?

Normally the drive will connect to the connector straight, but since the 3.5" HDD cannot fit in the HDD bay, you need the SATA tape I was talking about to attach the connector to the HDD.

In a way, you have an external internal drive icon_rolleyes.gif

I know that the region free LIFE BD couldn't work on Region B players.

Also, proxy server still works. Used it to download Skate 3 demo just now icon_rolleyes.gif
