no difference, but at least i dont get the DNS error message on both my laptop and my PS3 anymore, streamyx DNS are just______

I was wondering whether if I could plug my Ps3 console to my Macbook's monitor using the splitters that you mentioned . That works for single monitor but what about laptop monitor ?

notebooks display port can only output signals, not for receiving external inputs.

so no you cant do it out-of-the-box, unless if you use another additional device (tv card / capture card) connected to usb port or expresscard/pcmcia/whatever port

So If I use an additional device , TV / Capture card . Then I can use the method that you explained using the Y Splitter to play my Ps3 ? Is this recommended or I'm better off getting a cheap monitor ?


TV Turner cards as in these ?
TV CARDS

normally tv tuners come with a port for external input (yellow RCA or s-video), but some may not have it. check the datasheet/manual before buying. lags/delays might happen because it needs the computer's processing power process the signal and display them on the screen. also note that the highest resolution for 95% capture card is only standard definition (480i/576i)

it is better if you just get a proper monitor/display for gaming imo

Yea I would love that but my room is small you see . Can't really fit a small TV in . ONly way is to either use PC monitor , Laptop monitor or the slim tv with built in dvd reader ( Expensive ) . Ok thanks

guys ..anybody here playing GT5 prologue..how to update spec-2 or spec-3..seems the update is hang and like forever..help me please...

Isn't it spec3 out of the box?

then why dont just use monitor?? monitor between 21" to 24" should be able to fit your room right??

does ps3 games uses dolby digital 5.1 or dolby true HD for its sound?

is Dolby True HD and DTS HD only for blue ray movies?
i don't watch blu ray movies so is it not necessary to buy a home theather set with dolby true hd and dts hd decoding function with 7.1 speakers?

if that's the case, i can just settle with sony DDW3000 5.1 home theather. Is this setup ok? anyone using it? what is its sound quality? is there better home theater set in the price range of rm1500?

I'm so envy for you. Any 2.1 Subwoofer channel is pleasant to me already. Didn't have much money to invest on sound system.

Most if not all PS3 games have Dolby Digital 5.1 support for 5.1 setups.
There are quite a number of games which has support for Linear PCM 5.1 as well.

The DDW3000 is pretty much fine as it is though IMO.

Just normal PC monitor you mean ? IF I'm not mistaken , The monitor has their own power source cable , Then I gotta use what vorchiel had stated at the first pages ... Use the Y Splitter and stuffs and external speaker.

u have same situation like me buddy...GT5P update seem sucks...I do purchased GT5P Spec III ( R2 JAP ) , so its easy..

Question: Where are game updates stored?

in ps3 internal hdd

the only thing can you do is view its accumulated size (for each game) and delete it (if you believe that they are corrupted or something).

it is under game -> game data

for some games, installed file from bd + updates + dlc = game data

other games separate dlc from the game data and it will show as two separate items under game -> game data section
