Well once i moved games from internal to external, and GT5 back on to internal, it launched and i can play it.

What a crappy game lol. I have an MX5 in real life, if i push it very hard round a corner in high revs the back will almost certainly start slipping out. In Forza 3, the back starts slipping out. In GT5, it understeers round just like on gt5:p

Welcome to my world.....

I actually bought the console for this game alone :rolleyes:

I did too but the bigger kick in the teeth is if like me you bought the console on launch day for GT5. :lol:

Bear in mind I paid pretty much half a grand for mine with a single joypad (no rumble) and 1 game and no HDMI cable, but on the bright side, as I was in the first 60000 to register the PS3 i got a free copy of Casino Royale on Bluray.

I just made myself depressed :weep:

I just bought a 250 GB slim with all cables and hdmi cable, two controllers (1 dual shock 3), and a game for €200,-.
Best thing, I can download and play all the games I want.
Pretty neat

Kinect-PS3: Making Kinect Work With PS3

This post describes my first attempt at making Kinect work with a PS3. Microsoft’s new XBOX 360 accessory, kinect has made a powerful entry into the market, becoming the fastest selling gadget of all time. Looks like their “You are the controller” tagline is working. Of course, Sony’s “similar” accessory Move is selling well too but is far behind kinect adoption probably because nothing beats the lure of making something work with just “The Force”

Now, of course, kinect doesn’t work with PS3 obviously but then if we can’t break the rules, we can at least bend them a little towards our way. I’ve created a mashup that allows you to use kinect as an input controller for the PS3.

Please note that this is pre-alpha quality software currently. I haven’t updated to a lot of recent code for the below libraries and also haven’t done most of the performance/feature improvements yet. The axis performance specially needs lot of tweaking and it works well only while sitting. Putting this out purely as a proof of concept. For the things that I plan to add soon, please see the Todo section below. Follow me at @shantanugoel for latest updates.

The program makes use of several other programs in order to provide this functionality. To compile/use it, you also need the following programs:

1. OpenNI Libraries
2. NITE Libraries
3. PrimeSense Libraries for kinect
4. DIYPS3Controller

Installation/Compilation/Usage
1. Make sure that the above 4 things are installed on your machine and working fine.
2. Download the source of this project to the NITE Samples directory. You can even place it anywhere else but you would need to tweak the makefile to account for the changed paths.
3. Make any changes to the source that you need.
4. Change the included ps3 controller config xml file and place it in one of the locations where diyps3controller can find it.
5. Run make -f kinect-ps3.mak
6. The executable will be available in Samples/Bin directory of NITE.
7. Run kinect-ps3 (without any arguments)
8. Run emuclient (from ps3 controller software) and choose the new xml config file
9. “Become the controller”

Default Config :
Menu Profile – This is the default profile that kinect-ps3 starts with and allows to operate the PS3 menus. Moving hand in any direction will move the ps3 menus as if you were using the DPAD with those directions keys pressed. If you run out of the kinect’s watched space, then just do a backward push with your hand, bring your hand to center and then again do the backward push and continue scrolling. This is like you lift your finger up and then start dragging from edges of a laptop’s touchpad.For selecting any item, make two successive push movements with your hand without changing any x-y direction.
Game Profile – This profile can be switched to by doing 3 successive backward movements of the hand while in Menu profile. Right now I’ve implemented only directional controls in game profile because I’m still struggling with multiple hands detections and skeletal tracking. A full profile will be activated soon enough. Currently, the your hand’s x/y movements and directly translated to right stick x/y movements (e.g. this is looking in different directions in various FPS games). Moving the hand towards or away from kinect (z-axis) translate to left stick y movements (e.g. this is moving fowards or backwards in most FPS games).

Issues/Queries/Suggestions
Please direct them to me by commenting here or emailing me at shantanu AT shantanugoel DOT com

Coming Soon/ToDo
- Full Menu and Game profiles
- Skeletal tracking for better game profiles
- Switching back to menu profiles from game profiles
- Easier way to specify user custom profiles instead of changing code for the same
- Performance improvement for game profiles

Is this the end of PSN? or a bad joke?

Recently everyone that still is ONLINE with PSN have now received an avance email from Sony that says starting April 1st, 2011 Nope, it not a Early Joke, Sony loves this day for some reason! That all PSN Accounts are going to be transfered over to a new company called SNEA and if you do not accept the new Terms Of Service, your existing PSN account will be CLOSED and any leftover PSN funds will be returned!

Another thing see reading thru the new Privacy Policy is they are also during the switch-over pushing you for Credit Card info, even if you don't wish to use it incase of future purchases, it looks to me like a push towards a more PAID system in the near future similar to XBOX Live has been, and a way insure that all existing modded systems are OFFLINE as most likely their will be alot of background network changes to support the new SNEA setup!

Just received an interesting email from Playstation, which turns out to be true afterall!

Mathieullh has tweeted a load of information on how he hacked 3.60, although he hasn't given the full information apparently it should be enough to let someone else fill in the blanks and release a downgrader/new CFW

Could be back on PSN in a day or 2

Not that its really needed at the moment but it would be nice to have a nice shiny new 3.60 CFW, a bit more PSN access wouldn't hurt either.

I've got red dead redemption (7,5 Gb) and red dead redemption: undead nightmare (9,5 Gb) on my ps3.
The internal HD is getting pretty full, and I was wondering if I could transfer the savegames I made using the 7,5 Gb one to the larger one that has got undead nightmare included?

If yes, how do I do that and how do I completely delete the red dead redemption without the undead nightmare?

thanks!

edit
Seems "anonymous" has targeted sony:

Also:
"The website of the law firm representing Sony, Townsend, has also been taken down by an attack."

Not that I take their threats seriously...

Good news, finally the PS3 can play 1080p mkv "natively".

Sony Computer Entertainment America (“SCEA”) and George Hotz (“Hotz”) today announced the settlement of the lawsuit filed by SCEA against Hotz in federal court in San Francisco, California. The parties reached an agreement in principle on March 31, 2011. As part of the settlement, Hotz consented to a permanent injunction.

Both parties expressed satisfaction that litigation had been quickly resolved. “Sony is glad to put this litigation behind us,” said Riley Russell, General Counsel for SCEA. “Our motivation for bringing this litigation was to protect our intellectual property and our consumers. We believe this settlement and the permanent injunction achieve this goal.”

“It was never my intention to cause any users trouble or to make piracy easier,” said Hotz, I’m happy to have the litigation behind me.” Hotz was not involved in the recent attacks on Sony’s internet services and websites.

In the action, SCEA accused Hotz of violating federal law by posting online information about the security system in the PlayStation 3 videogame console and software that SCEA claimed could be used to circumvent the security system in the console and allow the playing of pirated videogames. Hotz denies any wrongdoing on his part. Hotz’s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction was still pending before the federal court in San Francisco but a preliminary injunction was issued requiring Hotz to take down the postings challenged by SCEA.

“We want our consumers to be able to enjoy our devices and products in a safe and fun environment and we want to protect the hard work of the talented engineers, artists, musicians and game designers who make PlayStation games and support the PlayStation Network,” added Russell. “We appreciate Mr. Hotz’s willingness to address the legal issues involved in this case and work with us to quickly bring this matter to an early resolution."

Perhaps if he hadn't been putting himself up as the posterboy for freedom i'd have been more forgiving, but with all his interviews and rapping and crap going "fuck sony i'm all about freedom and they'll never take me alive over this!" to bail out is disgracefull and just proves all his critics and haters right

New media server, possibly something that could replace PS3 Media Server but still in early development stages so I wouldn't expect too much from this just yet.

Latest Update for PSN/Qriocity Services.

We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended, and we are working around the clock to bring them both back online. Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security.

We thank you for your patience to date and ask for a little more while we move towards completion of this project. We will continue to give you updates as they become available.

Still down... There's been no news on our credit card info though..

There is nothing to worry about your credit card infos being leaked unless you were running a funky CFW version which sent your data to some other servers. Otherwise it's safe.

Its about time Sony started eating shit, average PS3 gamer thinks the sun shines out of their asses when behind the scenes, little by little Sony are taking the piss.
