PS3 Capabilities
Hi All,

Sorry for this question which I am sure has been asked before, I did have a look at a few posts especially the stickied guides on the PS3. So please don't shoot me down!

Anyways, looking into buying a PS3 soon (UK), and also an HD TV as well. Need to have both really. So what are the PS3 capabilities apart from the gaming/online/blue ray features?

For example, can avi/mpg files be streamed from my laptop via wireless connection? This would be a useful thing because I am sick of waiting for 7 hours of converting a movie/episodes. I know the XBOX 360 can do this. also music files? images?

Also hear the PS3 will have HDD recording soon which is nice. Anyways, any info would be great. I did see the AVI conversion thread there but some more info would be great.

Hope to be more of a regular on this forum. Also is Resistance any good online?

Cheers

It's capable of putting a big smile on my face every time I switch it on (unless I'm playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma that is, in which case my happiness quickly turns to anger) lol.

lies. All lies. PS3 is currently only capable of playing a graphically toned down version of pong.

If you want to stream media to it, check tversity ( http://www.tversity.com/home ).

For a list of current features of the ps3 try:

USA: http://manuals.playstation.net/docum...ent/index.html
-or-
UK : http://manuals.playstation.net/docum...ent/index.html



*EDIT* Wow, that was pointless, all of the playstation sites in english lead to the same place.
