Oddities about PS3

PSP uses the 8th channel?

 

PSP doesnt have bluetooth

Are we all forgetting the most obvious use of a router/switch on the PS3, to connect your Xbox360/Revolution!

Anyways, as long as we're talking about dual HDMI, imagine Splinter Cell co-op where one HDMI is for your HDTV and the a/v port for your other TV *drool*.

 

Some of your questions are more or less answered in the Phil Harrison interview

Here's a quote from an interview with Phil Harrison:

 

See thread title. This isn't Xbox 360 vs PS3.

 

Good question Anyone have an answer?

 

Wouldn't it just be the same situation as on PC multimonitor gaming?

 

Hey jvd I aplogize I shouldn't have brought up the X360. But at the sametime I was trying to make a point. The last time I said if your dad is watching TV. I should have said it like this. If your Dad is watching a movie using the PS3 disc drive and the gamer's sister is on the computer and he needed to get on the internet for school research, the gamer can hook up a second TV to the side of the HD screen and surf the web while at the same time his dad is watching a Blu-Ray movie.

Sounds nice. I'm NOT trying to argue, but I honestly want to ask a question. Can the X360 really do what I just described. Can it play DVDs while someone else can surf the web on a second TV. If it can then cool that'll be great.

Your right london. If I had to throw in a strange thing I would sa, why is there a lack of a memory card slot. How do we get our saves from the PS2 saves playable on the PS3?

If your PS2 has the Network Adapter, its just a matter of Sony releasing a PS2/PS3 Tool that can send them over LAN.

 

No, because the PC isn't a locked spec platform. They design games to run on varying levels of power, so they're not going to be able to max out everyone's system with dual screens(while still remaining playable), and allow people to run with the same level of playability on single monitors. The best they can do is throw in an option for dual screens, and let the user decide if his PC is going to run it fast enough.

With a closed-spec system like a console, they know how much fillrate every owner will have, and can budget accordingly.

I would figure that they'd do the same thing they do with games that run at multiple resolutions on current consoles. Either use watered down graphics that can run the same at high resolutions and low resolutions, or max out the graphics for single screens, and turn off effects or reduce their fidelity on dual screens. Another option would be to build the game for 1080i/p, and reduce it to 720p when in spanning mode.
