- JoEBlack982, on 11/15/2007, -3/+75Tricks? These are illusions Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money.
- nreynolds, on 11/15/2007, -2/+54Sony has told everyone about probably all of these except the game saves download.
- Patogrande, on 11/15/2007, -1/+25...or candy.
- mywhitenoise, on 11/15/2007, -6/+27I say it's a pretty good list. I already knew all of that before it even launched, but you'd be surprised how many people (look on gamefaqs) still ask if their PS3 can do (insert any of those listed).
- mywhitenoise, on 11/15/2007, -4/+23what? How are these 'work arounds for limitations in the PS3 design"? It's not like these are exploits to hack your PS3.
- fael, on 11/15/2007, -16/+33what a ***** list
- V878, on 11/15/2007, -1/+16LOL the manual DOES give instructions on how to upgrade the hard drive. http://www.joystiq.com/media/2006/11/ps3manual_pg1 ...
Maybe they should read the user manual before making claims of what it doesn't have. I guess it's a decent list for someone who wasn't aware these things were possible. - dansmeek, on 11/14/2007, -6/+21#11 - if you have a PS3 game, you can play this game on the PS3 system by inserting the Blu-Ray disc into the PS3 console and clicking the disc image to start the game! (tricky, but definitely a nice bonus)
- Zamfir, on 11/15/2007, -9/+20You need some workarounds for your design limitations. Idiot.
- felman87, on 11/15/2007, -2/+13sharing downloads is the best
- kyrre, on 11/14/2007, -1/+12No. Warhawk is different in this regard. The game is locked to the user downloading it.
- samdu, on 11/14/2007, -4/+14"look on gamefaqs"
Annnnnnd there's your problem. - otatop, on 11/15/2007, -7/+17This list is dumb, especially since number 2 is in the manual. And it's from April.
- r2builder, on 11/14/2007, -1/+11That's really cool that it's region free. It always annoyed the hell out of me that I couldn't play games that I legally bought without voiding my warranty. Hopefully this will start a region-free revolution. ***** regions.
- td4guy, on 11/14/2007, -1/+10You can do a quick remux of your hi-def x264 MKV videos to the BluRay .m2ts format to make them play on your PS3:
You need the following software, google them:
MKVtoolnix
h264info_alpha0007
ffmpeg rev. 9260
Nero or any burn program that can create UDF 2.50 discs
1. Start MKVextractGUI.exe from MKVtoolnix
2. Insert your mkv file > click on sound and video stream and press extract. You will get a "track1" and a "track2.ac3" file.
3. Rename "track1" file to "track1.h264"
4. Start h264info_alpha0007 and insert the "track1.h264" file. In the small box on the right side (level 1-5.1) type "4.1". Select an output folder, an output name and press start.
5. Rename the new *.h264 file to "input.h264" and the *.ac3 file to *input.ac3"
6. Create a folder with a short and easy name in c:
7. Put ffmpeg.exe, ffplay.exe, pthreadGC2.dll and the two video and sound files into this folder.
8. Go to the windows command line (I think it is "start" > "run" > "CMD" in english systems). Navigate to your folder.
9. type exactly the following (you can copy&paste from here):
ffmpeg -r 23.976 -f h264 -i input.h264 -f ac3 -i input.ac3 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f vob output.vob
10. Press enter and don´t care about the error messages you are seeing in the DOS box. Just let the program finish.
11. You will have a *.vob file now. Simply rename this file to *.m2ts
12. Start Nero > data DVD > UDF > settings > UDF 2.50
Drag the *.m2ts into Nero and burn.
13. Insert this disc in your PS3 and you will have a movie with untouched video quality and ac3 sound.
***
One thing that´s a little bad: The output file will be slightly bigger than the original MKV. This means if you have a MKV with exactly 4.37gig it will NOT fit to a standard DVD any more - you´ll have to use double layer discs. Or you crop the credits; sometimes that helps to reduce the size enough to fit a standard DVD.

Thanks to the hi-def torrent community for this guide. - jacksons98, on 11/14/2007, -2/+11Actually ever single X360 has the defect. It's a design flaw, not a random component going out. There is a big chance that at some point every X360 is going to fail. Unless you are lucky like the guy I saw driving the Yugo last week.
- ChildeRoland420, on 11/15/2007, -1/+9I know that changing the video display back to 480i and changing the hard drive are both in the manual, making the whole premise for this article false.
- theaceoffire, on 11/14/2007, -1/+9^_^ We are getting Divx support...
Mmm, can't wait for AVI goodness. - NateTheApe21, on 11/14/2007, -1/+8They forgot one, it chargers my Blackberry 8700, very useful
- overt, on 11/14/2007, -3/+10Dammit. Was hoping for a trick involving divx playback.
- Calculon, on 11/14/2007, -2/+8Atleast is wasn't the "Top 10 PS3 Hacks" Probably would have made it to the front page faster though
- otatop, on 11/14/2007, -3/+9...or cocaine!
- Elranzer, on 11/14/2007, -3/+9...or the antidote.
- xTRUMANx, on 11/14/2007, -1/+7Free video chat sounds useful. Didn't know you could do that...
- inactive, on 11/14/2007, -1/+6The joke is getting old buddy. So old in fact that it is entirely untrue.
- KingBunny, on 11/15/2007, -6/+101) Every single comment here (EVERY ONE) despises this article.
2) It's on the front page.
3) huh????
4) profit - Christbait, on 11/14/2007, -2/+6I guess most fellow PS3 users are not accustomed to RTFM before using the thing, huh?
- DarkDx, on 11/14/2007, -3/+7sure!
id: DarkDx
passwrd: ihavesexwithyourmom. - dacheetah, on 11/14/2007, -2/+6#2 sounds most useful.
I recently looked up how to do that for the 360, since I usually use it on a monitor at 1280x1024, and the TV I sometimes plug it into using the same cable won't support more than 640x480. (I just wish there was a 1680x1050 option... Oh well.) - samdu, on 11/14/2007, -1/+5#7 is in the manual, as well.
- Topher06, on 11/14/2007, -2/+6Its a pretty lame list. If there was a way to brick your PS3 by just hitting a few buttons maybe the Xbox fanboys might take it seriously.
- maci01, on 11/15/2007, -3/+7Basically he pulled it out of his ass. He's a 360 Fanboy.
- inactive, on 11/14/2007, -2/+5I assure you, we are not.
- GfunkGbuss, on 11/14/2007, -4/+7Cocaine's a helluva drug.
- wiimaniacs, on 11/14/2007, -3/+611. Use tape to keep out dust
- mywhitenoise, on 11/14/2007, -1/+4It's DRM, you're only allowed to put the game on 5 consoles. Doesn't iTunes do the same thing?
- phoenixp3k, on 11/14/2007, -1/+4The trick about the hard drive felt a bit patched on. Compared to the Xbox 360 it's widely known that the PS3 uses a STANDARD 2.5inch hard drive.
- dheaddy, on 11/15/2007, -3/+6"Press Triangle to bring up a menu and choose Display All. This will show every file on the stick. It even works for a plugged-in iPod, though the multi-folder structure you'll reveal is a bit baffling. Still, your songs are in there if you've got the patience to find them."
^How utterly impractical. I'm sure navigating through the 100s of folders named F00 F01 F02 etc must be so easy when looking for that one track on a 40gb iPod - inactive, on 11/14/2007, -1/+4Um, 360 has a 33% failure rate. Not 15%
- PhillAholic, on 11/14/2007, -3/+5Who reads the manual? I personally wait till someone puts it in blog format on the internet. How else?
- boxoman, on 11/20/2007, -0/+2WiiStation 360 has better games
http://digg.com/playstation_3/WiiStation_360_PIC - inactive, on 11/14/2007, -1/+3MAybe because Sony does tell you how to do that one. You simply buy PS3 games
- Philbert, on 11/18/2007, -0/+2Sounds useful, but not exactly free unless you already have an eye toy and headset.
- Nico_, on 11/14/2007, -2/+4Game sharing has nothing to do with pirating. It perfectly legal. Games like Warhawk are tied to your account so only 1 person can play at a time. But you are free to share games like everyday shooter with 5 of your friends if you want. Just don't corrupt your hdd..
- inactive, on 11/14/2007, -1/+3For the resord, the 360 also uses a standard hard drive, its jsut that the drive's are "proprietary" in the sense that only drives formatted by microsoft (and some western digital drives) will work. Also, the 360 will only recognize certain drive sizes as well. You can put in a 260 gig drive, but you will only be able to use 120 of it. See here http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainment/inst ...
- jacksons98, on 11/14/2007, -1/+3It treats an Ipod like an external USB drive with music on it.
- inactive, on 11/14/2007, -1/+2Um yeah, it shows it everytime you press the home button
- inactive, on 11/14/2007, -1/+2sorry i edited my post and it broke the link. BAD DIGG...
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainment/inst ... - johnmalc, on 11/14/2007, -2/+3Heh, yeah... like I'm going to correct your spelling in my SIX THOUSAND DOLLAR SUIT. COME ON!!!
- snobrder218, on 11/14/2007, -1/+2alright! an article from april 6th!
