Subtitles work on PS3 when imbedded as an SRT in an AVI container. Someone made a PC app that did this pretty well. Whilst Xvid was still a useful codec this was an okay approach, but the move to X264 killed my use of this approach.

I use PS3 Media Server for DLNA over a wired network. It is running on an old core2duo laptop with USB2 HDDs. When I did the stress test using an NTSC res xvid AVI file, I had it streaming the same file to 3 wired PS3s, one wifi laptop and two iphones. I was pretty impressed. I have to...

This sounds absolutely brilliant to me. I have loads of DVDs with Digital Copy which I have never done anything with. But if through my iTunes account Apple are going to give me a free iCloud versions like with music purchases, then that is great news. I have always had to DIY the movies...

No the XMB Video editor will take all the same formats that PS3 can decode, I have used MPEG2 and AVCHD loaded onto PS3 HDD from MS. I have only edited single clips, trims to beginnings and ends. You can add simple titles and you can add music. But the output is heavily down converted as...

I'm pretty sure the current video editing app on the PS3 lets you edit AVCHD, but it only outputs a down converted file. I've used it a few times for uplaoads to Youtube. I would be very happy if the PS3 was a capable AVCHD editor.

I lost my PAL launch PS3 christmas 2009. (Purchased March 2007) I lost my other PAL 60gb PS3 August 2011. (Purchased February 2008) I have one PAL 60gb left, but that is used as a Blu Ray player mainly. I was able to bring both machines back using the heat gun fix, they only lasted 3...

Vita is a 2011 launch for Japan. Why not the same road map for PS4, Japan launch Dec 2012, US/Europe launch March 2013? Didn’t the PS3 have a planned March launch before it slipped to November? I can see Sony being comfortable with being one Quarter behind WiiU and Xbox720. Any...

I brought my PAL launch 60gb back to life twice after YLOD, doing the heatgun trick. It lasted about a month before failing again. I have now switched to my spare launch PS3. Anecdotal reading on the web, would indicate that the heatgun fix is only a short term repair. I strongly...

I rather hope that the PSP2 has PS2 emulation. I'd like to see PS2 emulation come to the PSN Store and be available for the PS3 and PSP, just like they have done with the PSOne catalogue. I wonder if Sony have been dragging their feet on PS2 emulation on the PS3 because this is going to be...

Well, that fix didn't last long. PS3 died again, lasted about 30 days. We were looking at photos from a recent holiday. Anyway, did another reflow. Back-up and running again. I will de-activate this one and swap to my spare permanetly. Now I need to see if the UK Sales of Goods Act...

Please try my two beginner friendly levels, Kids Easy Fun: Beginner and Kids Easy Fun: Sunny Dungeon. I created these for my two kids (7 & 5). They had a lot of play testing! Psn id: NickLaslett

My UK launch machine died on Christmas day. I performed the solder reflow YLOD fix two days later. No problem with the machine so far. The original thermal paste was nearly all evaporated and the machine was pretty dusty. I have two more 60GB PAL PS3s, one is 26 months old, the other is 18...

Better known as the FAFRacer on NeoGAF as B3D very own Fafalada was part of the team that developed this game. http://axisent.com/products/ps2.asp It receieved a UK and US release. I ordered it from Amazon, but the order timeed out before the game actually made it to the shops. I did see...

On the Hong Kong PSN Store there is a demo for Lair with the analogue stick controls. Personally, I couldn't be bothered to finish even this demo. I never actually liked the gameplay of Factor 5's Star Wars titles, so I was not surprised I didn't like the Lair demo. I completed Haze's...
