just random black outs? I've noticed when going over hdmi now and then it will go black / then full of static for less than half a second (also makes a static popping sound), but I've only seen it happen when switching between a game and the dashboard, or going from the dashboard to a game. I believe it has something to do with the hdmi handshake - has been happening for three years to me, so no biggie. But maybe you're descibing something else?

I've had what you described before since I've had it, I just figured that was the machine's idiosyncrasies
today I was getting random black outs or flickering staticky screens (no popping sound though); and even an audio drop out in-game
switching tv inputs to antenna back to HDMI seems to sort it
hmm; I hope these come w/a manufacturer's warranty

Either pay-per-video weekly rentals or an all-you-can-watch subscription service. There’ll also be some free videos to try out the service, too.
In theory Mubi is pretty cool. They've been around for a couple of years (orginally called the Auteurs and closely tied to Criterion in the US). Besides the name change they've recently cut their price structure about in half (but offer less free movies than they used to)... and do have a decent selection of rare arty films that often aren't available elsewhere, not on dvd and not from netflix - stuff like the Phillip Garrel films. Selection apparently varies by region though. At least in the US, even after a couple of years the selection isn't huge. It's quality though. I never liked the pay per film structure - especially when the prices were $5 or $6 per film, but if they roll out an inexpensive subscription option, that's something I would consider.
Holy crap - their site is getting slammed right now - so slow! http://mubi.com/

if you get all the trophies for a game but not the DLC trophies, do you still get the platinum?
or is the platinum all trophies for the game regardless of whether they are original or DLC?

Guys I am 30 years old and I am sort of interested in getting a PS3 but fear that I am "tool old" for this stuff. Keep in mind I played MLB 08 for an hr last night. I wouldn't call myself a HC game player and don't really go for the final fantasy RPG or etc. I'm kind of interested in playing against friends online (perhaps YOU?!!?). I don't really BELIEVE in blu-ray, though the idea od netflix streaming looking better on my big TV than thru a laptop is exciting to me. Is it hard to set up?

It's super easy.

Plug it in, have its wifi card detect yr wireless network, DONE.
sub question: where's the cheapest place to go to get one? Are thee places where you get better deals if you wink at the workers in a special way? do pplaces even take PS2 for trade in?

You sound like me, except I already have a PS3. It is very easy to set up. You can trade in a PS2 but I have no idea how much they'll give you for it.

― andrew g. vajna (cozen), Thursday, 20 May 2010 14:40 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah not expecting more than 20.00 tbh, but 20.00 is 6% off a 300.00 purchase y'know.
― Astronaut Mike Dexter (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Thursday, 20 May 2010 14:41 (thirteen years ago) link
I've seen blu-ray and find it offputting for non-documentary stuff
I've only watch like one or two movies on blu-ray because I'm too cheap to spring for the extra blu-ray fee on netflix.
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 20 May 2010 14:42 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah I get that
xp
another bonus is it's super easy to set up streaming from a pc/mac to your PS3

I imagine medialink is good (I used to use connect360 on the xbox) but PS3 media server has the added bonus that it costs $free.99
