ps3 20gb & 60gb
- Thread starter mito
- Start date
The 60gb version has WiFi built in and memory card slots (I think CF, MS, and SD). And of course 40gb extra.
You can find this on most official playstation websites though, so next time, search
plus the 60GB has chrome finish, thus more shiny shine
And if I've understood correct, the PSP <> PS3 interconnectivity would be much more limited, if not limited only to basic file transfer acting as an mass usb storage like any other, in the 20GB version, due to the missing WiFi.
So, I think no PSP remote play and such in the 20GB version, even if you add a third party ethernet to wireless adapter to the PS3.

It'll also be for downloaded games, which includes PS1 and, eventually I guess, PS2. And I expect that where disc games can be partially installed, they can use the whole HDD too.
Do we know what USB wireless cards work with the PS3 yet? I don't really care about the built-in one if I can use one of the ones I have lying around on a rear USB port.plus the 60GB has chrome finish, thus more shiny shine

I think what you're missing is that the "Remote Play" functionality currently only operates via Ad-hoc WiFi (peer-to-peer). In order for it to work with a wireless router, infrastructure mode would have to be supported by Remote Play. That is currently not the case, but is heavily speculated at (suggested, hinted at, everything short of confirmed) for a future firmware update.

I was wrong, Remote Play operates via infrastructure mode. Here's how it works:
- PS3 sets up a Wireless Network specifically for Remote Play (under the Remote Play settings). User enters a SSID and passkey for WPA (AES).
- PSP sets up an additional wireless network connection (why doesn't the PS3 support multiple wireless networks?). The SSID and passkey set in the PS3 are entered here.
- PS3 is set to Remote Play
- PSP goes to its Remote Play option, and the user selects which wireless network connection to use (same as you would when using any other infrastructure mode network option, like the browser).
- Connection is established, and the PSP has access to the PS3s XMB. Movies, Music, Picture, and Network are all accessible.
- Strangely enough, for video clips at least, sound is still output through the PS3 audio connection, as well as the PSP's.
Cool idea. However I'm inclined to say no.
For one, a proper computer needs some kind of burning capability as essential. DVD/CD burner, etc.
And, unless you already are accustomed to linux, I'm sure there's a million and one windows apps you'll be missing.
Also, I saw a youtube of linux on PS3, and it looked like it was running in 640X480 or something. That would be intolerable.
Still, I like the idea..one day it may become reality. Though I'm not totally convinced.

Don't forget that you can install your own HDD

I wonder if it would be possible down the line to add support in Linux for External USB DVD/CD burners. Also printers would be nice. Then I'd totally see the PS3 replacing my bleeding edge 500 Mhz Pentium III with 256 MB of the slowest RAM available (which includes the 16 MB for the integrated video card
) that I'm using right now.
Well, just wait until next week, when YDL is released. This version of Linux should be optimised for the PS3 already to some extent, with lots of stuff pre-compiled for the platform, and with YDL being used on Cell platforms in Mercury systems, which has already been shipping high-end commercial products on/for it.
The YouTube video you saw was only in SDTV mode because the capture card that the guy used doesn't support any HD modes.
Pretty much all major USB devices will be supported, I'm sure.
You should have guessed that - it's meant to be like Location FreeTM, and should allow you to remotely access your PS3 from anywhere you have wireless internet access. This feature is reportedly coming soon, and I think it may well be, because the PSP already supports Location Free after all, and Sony builds these devices themselves so all the tech and knowhow is there (of course, they are still slow as ever
).Probably also related to the above.
I'm suspecting this is so that you can use your PSP as a real 'remote' for your PS3 also in your own livingroom, say for instance using your PSP to set up an RSS audio feed that is then played through your main stereo through your PS3.
I think that is for the Playstation Store support, so that you can get your PS1 games onto your PSP (should be available today?). It's actually linked to your memory card rather than to your PSP, afaik.
