spwolf said:it is very slow- a lot slower than PMS.
With my old athlon, i was able to transcode/subtitles 720p with PMS, with Tversity, i could not do it, it would run at 5-6 fps.
PMS is easier to setup and works much better... if you want to customize it, is also offers more options
Ah. Well both are mentioned anyway
Added Fat Princess and Shatter to the OP.

Well, I'm on a Mac, so I guess I'm out of luck on that end. But if what you say ends up being true about FW 3.0, then I should be okay. When does that come out btw?
Also, I know I'm going to get bitched out for this, but what's with all the hate for Noby Noby Boy? It's pure, mindless fun for just $5.
BTW I just remembered.. this is probably am must for anyone using a PS3 with an HDTV.
Go to the 'Settings' column of the XMB, scroll down to the 'Display Settings' icon, select the 'RGB Full Range (HDMI)' setting and switch to the 'Full' option instead of 'Limited'..
Result is basically this;

Raist, you should add to the OP, related to the PSN accounts:
- Explanation about US states without taxes.
- Explanation about how to make a HK or JP account.

I thought this was debunked and only to be used on PC monitors or something?Sentry said:

It makes no discernible difference on my Aquos. I leave it on though. Maybe it changes something, but it's certainly not as blatantly obvious as those pics above. I've only asked one of my friends if they noticed a difference and they didn't either. But we're guys...we only see so many colors, or so I'm told.MvmntInGrn said:

Mind to give a few examples of tax free states? IIRC I picked Florida and don't remember seeing any added taxes. As for Asian accounts, I have no clue about how to set up a HK account (although it might be in english, never checked) and I did give a link to kassatsu's guide for creating a JP account.
@Sentry: the problem is that not many HDTVs are compatible with full RGB, and people who still try to use it end up having crushed blacks (the main disadvantage being that it can be way too dark in some games).

I have this and it works great except it's too bright. Either glows bright red or bright green. It shouldn't glow anything and I have to unplug it pretty much making it not worth it. I want to love it but can't get past this flaw.

Really? Crap I have done that since I got it. :/ Ruins batteries or something? Haven't had a controller go dead since I got it.Totobeni said:

I think California don't have taxes, but I'm not 100% sure.
About HK account, nevermind, I just saw that you can sign in english.

Full is for monitors. Using it on HDTVs will just crush details.

Well I will unhook them when charged now, I don't leave my cell phone plugged in because of this so why I didn't put 2 and 2 together I don't know :lolRaist said:
I've just got a new PS3.
What, worth buying, is available on the JP store that isn't available on the EU store?
Also, Wipeout HD looks a lot like F-Zero GX. I loved GX. Will I love Wipeout?
Just bought Flower and Noby Noby Boy. Noby Noby Boy is fun, but the levels are way too small. Flower is amazing, though.

I've got KZ2, Wipedout+Fury, Fat Princess (basically all the exclusive PS3 games)

Just pulled the trigger, ordered online for $25 off. Hopefully it won't take ages to ship, but I've got a bunch of stuff to work through on PC anyway. Planning on getting a bunch of PSN stuff initially, then Uncharted 2 after I borrow the first from a friend.
I can get the Warhawk bundle for $30. Is the headset in that one worse than the official Sony one, which will cost like $15-$20 more?

Specifically brightness. If your picture looks washed out (in comparison to RGB Full) your brightness level is probably too high to begin with.

I remember thinking it didn't look too bad on my old sharp aquos LCD but after testing it on my new KURO, limited is definitely the way to go on plasma's. You loose so much detail in full mode.
H_Prestige said:
On my TV there's a setting called "black level" with the options for high and low. Which is apparently wacky LG speak for reference levels.
I get a better range of colors most of the time with the TV set to high and the system set to full. Oddly some dvd's look a little washed out though unless I set it to low so I have no idea wtf is going on there. :lol

With plasma's tending to have superior darker blacks from the get go, especially the king of kings (Pioneer Kuro), yeah, FULL just crushes detail.

This is true.
There are test images available to determine if your HDTV supports RGB FULL. Most don't, and you'll simply lose detail in the blacks if you switch it on. For a few sets that do support it though, it may be better to use the FULL setting.
Do a Google search for "RGB FULL TEST" and you'll get plenty of info, plus a test image you can use.

While we're at it, Raist...
Since so many people are getting their first Blu-ray player as well when they get their new PS3 slim, I think we should remind people about the hidden calibration screens on Sony's Blu-ray movie discs:
With a Sony Blu-ray movie inserted and playing, go to the main menu. Hit the Triangle button.
Enter 7-6-6-9. (You can remember this code because it's "SONY" spelled out on a phone keypad.)
Voila! Free calibration screens!

Just pulled the trigger on the slim. Still not 100% I picked the better SKU but we'll see.

But yeah. Really it was form factor (fat looks much nicer) vs. function and unknown reliability. Went with function and crossed my fingers about the quality.

I really rather like that game. I think it has a really funny humor going on and the gameplay works pretty good. Of course I got it for free, so not sure how id feel paying for it.
