Proof please.
Sony's Gamers' Day 2006 (PS3 launch details etc.)
- Thread starter Titanio
- Start date
Proof please.
watching the gamespot 'on the spot' video, they say mpeg1/2/4 for video formats supported.
for music its mp3/aac/atrac
edit: the video thumbnails was very cool, i also notice the images load instantly unlike the ones on the psp which take a couple seconds to load in the menu.
edit2: you can actually create your own video thumbnail (to make your clips more recognizable and easier to select) from the videos on your hdd. pretty cool.

Well they did do a live blog and post news articles of todays events, but I dont really expect them to show video coverage until tommorrow's IGN weekly, which applies to 1up with the 1up show as well. Gamespot had the best coverage so far simply because of 'On the Spot' was live at the show today. We will see what ign and 1up says tommorrow.
edit:
anyways, heres a image of the PSS (Playstation Store) taken from gaf
for the most part, looks the same as the one @ e3.

PS2 came only with composite. You had to pay for the S-video or component yourself.
YouTube compatibility is nice but what would be more important for gaming is if the XMB browser can download game saves like rosters or even user-created characters from web sites, save those files to disk, and then load them into games.
Epic claims you will be able to use user-created content for their games. How will it be distributed. Will game saves or any other game-related content be limited to the online store? Or can users go to any web site and get simple things like roster files to use in their games?

Umm, I think thats kinda flawed quote. You can definately get movies onto your PS3 not only from the web browser, or not just the Playstation Store (or not even from a digital camcorder which is possible). It may not be through streaming but watch impress tested a movie file that worked fine. And Sony has stated at e3 you will be able to put your own movies on the hdd.
Yeah I have over 60 GB of iTunes and iPhoto content.
I'm considering an NAS, some of which do fine exporting iTunes libraries as network mounts and support various open standard protocols, including DLNA.
That is what the PS3 needs to do, support things like Samba.
If the choice is between re-ripping my CDs into the PS3 or not having my music library available on the PS3, I would choose the latter. Sony has to realize the smarter move would be to let people with existing media libraries be able to import or stream them into the PS3 easily.
But of course, iTunes is linked to iPod, which competes with the Network Walkmans.
There could be other factors, like the RIAA and MPAA or Sony's music and movie divisions opposing this kind of interoperability as the price for offering downloadable content on the online store. Certainly they wouldn't like the idea of the PS3 being able to playback pirated audio and video content.

I'm tremendously disapointed with the gamers day because we are one month away from launch and there is less information on Sony's websites and press releases about the PS3's specifications than all the way back in 2005. There are a ton of specifications, performance data, and bandwidth data missing from latest websites and press releases.
I was hoping that they would finally update all the information, because as of right now people are laying down money pre-ordering their units and in a month will be outright purchasing them. However, the only hardware information we got was one stupid arrogant joke mocking us saying something like, "And the Cell can process 256 thousand million gigaflops per second but I'm not the one to talk to about that."
I'm honestly TICKED OFF that they did not release the final specifications of the console.
However, we did get a few good things such as some new trailers and screenshots which are very nice. But overall, I'm very disapointed because to release the final specs would have taken hardly no time at all, because they could have just flashed a couple slides on the screen and sent out an updated and detailed press release. Instead all they did is make up one stupid statement about the CELL and remain silent.
I'm still excited about the Playstation 3 but fed-up with Sony's lack of openness and honesty with their consumers.

No offence babcat/MILR, but you should really chill out about those specs. It seems you post about them in every single thread (and not just on this forum), its really getting annoying.
Again, no offence cause your a good guy, its just the repitition of your posts is crazy at times.

I agree I am only interested in the ps3 and xbox360 as media extenders. If I am going to go through the hassle of some sort of media server I will go all the way. Atleast 2 TB of storage to rip my collection of 250+ legit dvds to. I would also like to attach an my antenna and get my favorite show OTA and store them long term. Also the possibility of a direct tv pc card makes the whole deal for a media pc all the better. I don't think that will be possible with the ps3 or 360 they are just to limited.

After installing YDLinux on to the PS3 I'm sure this sort of thing will be trivial. I'm planning on doing so anyway.
Install a samba service so you can access shares on your windows PC. Use VLC to play videos off of my network storage.
I'm interested in someone creating a nice VLC based video browser/playback control scheme that works well with either the PS3 controler or the Bluetooth PS3 remote. And if someone else doesnt do it, I will make one myself.

LocationFree in PS3
For this to be really useful, it needs:
1) To be playable on Windows and Mac laptops, Symbian phones, like Sling is doing with their client software these platforms.
2) To let you connect non-Sony equipment like DVRs and DVD players to the PS3 so you can place-shift your DVR recordings while overseas.
That would mean audio and video inputs and remote control profiles to control these these DVRs, DVD players, etc. over the Internet.
Sling obviously does this but does the LocationFree basestations? Will the PS3 do these things?
Or is it about place-shifting videos you download onto the PS3?

I won't kill myself over this. Take a look at the "enchanching performance" for PS2 with PS1 games, not something to wow about.
The PS2 (and PSOne) games will in any case be upscaled by your display.
Depending on the quality of your scaler/deinterlacer the results will vary more than if it were done inside PS3.
...Wait, the PS3 has no option to output signal in 480i (576i PAL), it has options to output 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p.
That means everything played through PS3 will be upscaled/deinterlaced up to 1080p.
So, PSOne and PS2 games will be enhanced (or not, depending on the quality of scaling/interlacing of PS3, but I doubt it'll be that under par).
It won't have texture resolution enhancements, or improve framerates, but it will affect the antialiasing and even filtering, because the scaler inside PS3 has to apply it's own algorithms to the outputted, upscaled image.
I already see this with my PS2 and 720p front projector. The PS2 games look smooth and less jaggy than they were on my old SD CRT.
GT4 looks very good, it actually has almost eliminated the texture flicker and reduced the jaggies considerably.

You could have really used the ntsc-version for that game, since you have a big screen. On my 61" the 480i looks like a mess, 480p is ok and the fake 1080i improves noticeably from 480p.
On my tv I consider the jump from 480i to 480p to be larger jump than from going from composite to RGB, and since that 1080i is even better looking I'd say that the image quality difference on big screen between the ntsc and pal-versions is mind altering.
Naturally 576i looks better than 480i, but still...
