Crackle in Home

The tv's finally work in home. Well at least if you have EOD Loot TV... which I just happen to have two in my hollywood appartment in Home. Now with more movies in full length. Contols have been adjusted too. Play and pause is using the up d-pad. Did not see any fast forward or chapter skip? The price if you have the correct tv is free. Cost do apply to get the TV fyi. Finally, we can watch movies together with your friends in HOME. Enjoy!

Trittan 720 Headset

Bestbuy has an awesome deal on Trittan. See bestbuy.com

I just tried the 720 and was impressed with easy setup and audio. Beware the volume knob on this one it gets pretty loud. It's on wire going to my headset for a good connection with no batteries. I enjoyed the surround sound on this one. I was tempted to sell my Px5 turtlebeach, But it was way too tight on my big head. Ouch!!!

If Trittan would make 5.1 simmulated sound with the 180 style... I believe we would have a winner for mid range price for headsets.

Veronica Belmont

According to her website VeronicaBelmont.com she is moving to another project. She will no longer be working with Qore on PSN anymore. A new host will replace her. Qore has been going through some changes with its format. Personally, I think she is a great host and maybe her next adventure will be better.

As for Qore, I still think they miss the mark. It started off with Betas, free games, and other things unique. BUT that went away after a year for PSN+, adding a magazine preview to sell more magazine which only gives you a taste I feel fails on so many levels as to why? It's an ad not a feature. What I did like about Qore was that met with the developers at their locations and gave us a glympse at what it like behind the scenes. Veronica always brought a nice positive smile to every situation and gave a good human element. Qore, I have watched from the beginning and I always felt that it was rushed and slapped together leaving you feel like maybe the next one will be better.

For Qore to be better with new host is a challenge. I look to more at the director, writers, and producers in regards to content. Ok, the free stuff is no going to be there...I get that. But, my personal opinion that they should make more like a gamer magazine exposes us to games, news, products for our ps3, and a little education to get the most out of our PS3 and PSVita. How about events like E3 and TGS or game releases.

PS3 Wireless Headset Setup

found on youtube TheCoolMixedGuy's Channel

Spells out the frustration of the actual setup for the first time. It's easy once you understand but when you first look at the directions its like how the f???

Watch the video and it will make sense.

Few other important things...

hold the top button for 1 second to hear the beep for virtual sound and then again to turn off.

Front slider controls how much voice vs background.
Back slider controls master volume.

Enjoy!

Thanks to the TheCoolMixedGuy video for putting it out there. Kudos.

PSN Restoration Stage 1

More IGN Videos

Hurray! We can play our games again online.

The frustration continues

More PlayStation Home Videos

Like the Microsoft ploy at the end... thanks IGN.com

Hopefully, we will be playing games soon. More services to follow.

PSN still down

Short and to the point. These hackers are making a mess of major internet sites besides SONY. The Microsoft guys are jumping up and down saying they are secure. But if they go down, then what?

They did not turn off SONY, SONY turned themselves off after the discovering of being hacked and wanted to stop the theft by doing the Absolute thing in turning off the network. As in last Sunday's announcement in Japan. We can home to have some our services turned back on this week with new security.

Frustration Continues

The frustration continues...I saw this on youtube and made me laugh. This guy expresses his frustration well. Hopefully, we will have PSN up soon.

Using a Wiimote with a white screen?

I saw Johnny talking about his concerns with the PSN security and noticed some cool things he has figure out. Check out the video.... Now I have to wonder why we do not see more things like this with our Playstation Move...I remembers seeing stuff like this last year, but nothing yet for us consumers?

Watch Your Credit Cards---Suspend

Warning! The great 2011 PSN Outage is a serious one. Just read on CNET today that the supposed hackers are trying to sell the data. If you ever use a credit card on PSN...please, take advance caution and considering calling your credit card companies and get a new card and number. I am like the rest of you who just want the system gets back up soon with additional security to have fun again.

Sony has sent emails out to everyone to make people aware.

Crysis 2

Looking for a fun game similar to Call of Duty, then definitely check Crysis 2. Saw major improvements compared to when I was in the beta on xbox 360. Graphics look great and the 3D works. Thanks to a gamestop employee who told me to take a test drive on a retail copy. The audio he pointed out was amazing in suround sound with the music. Going to try to take his advice and try it again with the music off with surround on. The campaign is to be about 13hrs long and the multiplayer is fun too and plenty of people to play against. Check it out 5 out 5.

Setup of 3D on the PS3 from IGN

Important! You need to upgrade to a high speed hdmi. The normal hdmi will not work. You will see on the package high speed and most likely something about 3D capable or 4k= 4 x 1080p. I recently got a 46 inch bravia from BestBuy 240hz and recommend the hdmi cable form SONY with gold plating 10.2 GBps which I got from Walmart for $34.99. I tried another brand for $14.99 but the picture was coming in darker. You may experiment with more expensive cables to get the picture your looking for.

This video really helps because the 3d tv did not tell you how at all... Kind of messed up if you ask me. This is probably WHY we see reviews out there about people not getting the quality out of their tv and returning them. (PS I was feeling the pain til I researched online too). Also recommend adjust your display settings to get the best picture for your room. Motionflow using Smooth to get that 240hz part going for non 3d movies. (You will see 24p with 1080p when you push display to check and obviously you will see the difference on your blu ray movies).

The tv I purchased is a SONY bravia 46hx800

How to Set Up Sony PlayStation 3 on Home Network & Stream Media with TwonkyMedia

I found this video helpful for also using dlna setup...same concept. I definitely recommend connecting your PS3 directly to your router for better signal than going wireless. Enjoy!
