PS3 Network Problems

cheers mrT.......it was a general maintenance shutdown,they could send out a pm to everyone though say 24 hours before they do this,i was in a right flap last night.


should be alright tonight i hope.

LP

Don't worry guys, I'm sure it's worth it all for the Bluray

Yeah, they could send out a small warning 24 hours in advance, but that would be too simple

LP - Yeah, happens when so many people use the network at the same time. I imagine X-Box Live doesn't have such problems.......

talking of bluray i got a download last night before it went down that enables my tv to now watch bluray in 3D.....not bad for free LP......im just waiting for you to see the light.......when you do there will be no turning back for you dude.

Nope, nothing like that for me, just plain sailing.............. HEY!! There are plenty of us! Me and the three other guys have a great time together actually

I thought a 3D TV was required to watch anything in 3D......

I'm sure you 4 have a whale of a time LP!

didnt you get the update ?

if you didnt switch on last night then the update might be waiting for you........when i get these updates i just download and install em......this one said that i would be able to watch 3D bluray on my tv..........at that point i stopped reading.....i just thought cool.........there was loads of other written stuff which probably had..." this shit will only work if you have a 3D tv ".......but what the hell i updated and installed it anyways ..

Well I just checked out the update with Sony. A 3D TV & Compatible 3D glasses are required, amongst other things. Did you know that not all 3D glasses will work with all 3D screens? Might as well take my one's back to the cinema

shit.....just sometimes i wish i had a greater attention span......i would of gone out and bought a bluray film and sat there watching it thinking.....well this 3D malarkey is crap innit.

Don't worry Munch. Companies bank on people doing that which is why they advertise the way they do.

DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE TO MAKE BLU-RAY'S, GAMES & DVD'S PLAY IN AMAZING 3D FROM YOU PS3 STRAIGHT TO YOUR TV!!!*
*Sony 3D HD TV Required. Sony Compatible 3D Glasses Required. Sony 3D Content Required.

yep......thats more or less what i read......then my brain said.."thats all you need to know"..........i have the attention span of a stoned goldfish.

Xbox Live:

Pros:

Incredible Community Experience - Get the same thing from PS Home & PSN Community these days.
Great Support From Microsoft - Can't really compare as have no experience of either support lines, but the PS Community can usually help with most problems as does the FAQ's
Xbox Live Interface is Sleek - PSN one looks just fine to me
Wide Variety of Free and Paid Downloadable Content - Same available from Playstation Store including video rentals or purcahse.
Great Points System - What do the points help with?

The points are all about your creds man I got 9500 gp at the moment, hoping to break 10,000 with the introduction of fallout.

They do nothing but give you an extra set of things to do in each game

Errrr...... So, not much different to Trophies then?

playstation home is much improved,i actually dont mind spending time there,loads of new places to visit,loads of previews of films games etc,polls competitions,arcade games,virtual pool, bowling,poker etc.

what is the x-box equivalent called and what is it like ?
