Official US/JP PLAYSTATION 3 Launch Thread
- Thread starter Amir0x
- Start date
I finally got around to trying out some RR7, and I just want to say, the integration with the XMB Friend's List (I didn't even have to do anything and it automatically brought up drohne's and Jonnyram's and DC's and bebpo's etc. rankings) is awesome, and it's uber disappointing Insomniac couldn't/didn't get this into Resistance. I wonder if they could patch in something like this...
Nevertheless, I really hope this proves to be the norm rather than the exception going forward. Now let me bring up my FL for messages while in a game via the PS button Sony and PSN will be perfect!!

Problem:
I'm trying to get my 1.11 update going, but it stops at 60% everytime with this message:
An error has occurred.
(8002F997)
anyone know what the deal is?
edit:
oh ****... I can't even sign in to the PSN until I get this update, which won't update!
Someone help!

Someone help!A few days ago, when I started up the PS3 and tried to play MotorStorm, I got that exact same error message.TheJollyCorner said:
I popped in Resistance, and it gave me the same error when attempting to boot up.
Strangely, everything else on the XMB worked (Internet Browser, movie clips on HD), so I restarted the console and everything was fine. Gave me a really good scare, though.

so just try restarting? *crosses fingers*
You could always try downloading the update from a PC and then installing it via a USB Storage device (PS3 gives you this option, I believe).TheJollyCorner said:edit:

seems like the main site only has 1.10 as their most recent update...
and the damn thing still isn't completing. One time I got it to 73%, but every other time it's right around 60%. I've restarted it, let it rest awhile, tried another log in name, basically everything.
This is shitty. I gotta find some kind of customer service number... -_-

i actually like this feature A LOT. it's a pain in the ass to download an MP3, throw it on a flash drive and then put that in the 360... but with a PS3 all you have to do is just click on a link in the browser and download it to the HDD.
now only if you could play games and listen to MP3s in the background... now that would rock. hopefully with a future update.

Just rented Mission Impossible 3 on Blu-Ray. All I gotta say is :-O
Image quality is SICK!

Yeah, that is pretty nice. It was one of the more annoying issues and a little over a week later it's already patched.
Glad to see Sony is on the ball with their firmware updates, and it gives me high hopes that almost all the PS3 problems will be sorted out in the next few months.

how far is your couch? do you wear glasses?

you've never heard of windows media connect? streaming wins.
it seems like im the only one with this problem but web browsing on ps3 is so slow its faster to run over to my pc download it on there and stream to my 360 before the page even comes up

I have wired ethernet connection.
I just talked to Sony support. They said it might be because the main site hasn't updated to 1.11 yet (?), but when I told him others got it to go through he seemed a bit confused. He told me to wait and try again once the Sony site updated and then use the USB transfer as a last resort.
hmm...

yea i've heard of wmc, and in fact i use it. but my computer is in my office so i'd rather just do everything from the console. i've got my ps3 connected directly to the router so i get pretty quick access to web sites via ps3 browser. though the ps3 browser is pretty clunky and slow.
Weird - the only reason I knew there was a new firmware update was because a notification popped up in the top right corner of screen while I was in the XMB around 2am EST last night. I have a US PS3 and US network account so it all seems pretty kosher.TheJollyCorner said:
Will the PS3 read from external HDDs?
I upgraded my 20GB model and I'm unsure about what to do with the 20GB drive I took out. There's next to no demand for 20GB HDDs so it's virtually worthless, I'm thinking of getting an enclosure from ebay for it as they are cheap, just about £9

yep, formatted to FAT32. can you get bus powered enclosures for 2.5" drives? That'd be handy

Blast Factor does this as well. You can look at the whole-world leaderboard, or just filter it to friends.
Flo: Re: linux and downloads-- I kept waffling and finally decided to just refort and re-download. Amazingly, it kept my system settings and account info. It only lost the media and game downloads. I backed up my Resistance save so that's OK.
Had I had more time and less impatience, I would have popped the drive out and mounted on something else to see if I could save stuff off. Still worth doing, even if only to back it up from time to time. Of course, once I have Linux it will probably be easier to back up to a USB-connected drive instead.
My PS3 is acting funny today. I was just playing Jak II and my TV lost the signal from the PS3. I thought it might have just been the game, but it happened again after I took the game out. My XMB screen just went all red and I totally lost the signal. It kind of reminded of the times when some of my old TVs would get a screwed up signal from my mom vaccuuming in the room. I had a washer and dryer running while this happened, and the signal seemed to come back to normal after the dryer stopped. It's just strange 'cause I'm pretty positive I've had the PS3 on while both the washer and dryer were running before and I didn't have this problem. Anyone else run into this?

Why did the mods unsticky this thread, but kept the Wii thread stickied? They also stickied the Zelda thread, while leaving off the Resistance and GoW thread off this whole time. NeoGAF is sooo biased in favor of Nintendo, it's not even funny.

because PS3 is for evil rich people?
I sit about '10 feet away and use an SDTV so viewing the web from the PS3 looks great for me, although due to the 'zoom' certain websites are unenjoyable to read due to the constant left and right scrolling required.wasting said:
I don't have any "capable" PCs in my house. They are second or third hand machines on thier last legs that happen to crash about every hour or so..

You can get Blu Ray from Netflix...and it doesnt cost anymore than Regular DVD's.
My local Hollywood Video has HD-DVD and Blu Ray movies available as well...althought the selection is shit, and they admit its a trial location. They also cost a little more there than a regular DVD to rent.
Geezer said:Yep, there are ones that draw power from USB on ebay
My XP install is formatted to NTFS, will I be able to see a FAT32 drive in XP and transfer files to it?
yes, it'll appear as another drive when you plug it in. Thats how I'm set up. Having a bus powered drive helps because you just need a mini usb cable on your PC and PS3 then its really portable

Got got through installing my 120GB hard drive in my PS3, so far no problems!! I wonder how big of a drive this thing can take?

Sweet!! I think this feature should be standard for the next generation of gaming hardware, storage will no long be an issue anymore. Now DSL just need to improve bandwidth for faster downloading of content off of these virtual marketplaces!! I ain't paying anymore than 25 a month for it, so the critics saying "Get T1" can suck a fattie!
BTW 93 bucks for the HD at Newegg!!

can you send a link pls?
I'm at Gamestop picking up a couple of things. When I get up to the counter I notice they have a 60GB PS3 box for display. Naturally, after my purchase I ask if they have any in stock. They tell me no of course... but as I'm walking about one of them mention that they have ONE 20GB model in stock. I think about it for a long time and decide If I'm going to get a PS3, it's going to be the 60GB model. Christmas is almost here, it will be almost impossible to find until next year... Did I do the right thing?

If wi-fi isn't important to you should got the 20 gig, because it sems installing bigger drives is pretty much cake.
