Just set-up the PS3 for the first time ... - GoFuckYourself.com

MikeVega · 01-01-2007, 07:36 PM

In my dining room i have two 42" plasma TV's and a Play Station 3 just sitting there for the past week. The rooms I'm putting the TV's in are still being painted so they'll sit for another week but I had to set up the PS3 just to try it out. The only game i have is The Tony Hawk Project right now but I plan on getting more soon. Any way I set it up in my bedroom on the 32" LCD and it's a pretty sick system. I was able to put my SD card from my PSP in and even the movies i have ripped on it looked pretty good. The entire system is pretty well made. Much nicer then the PS2 as far as quality.

I can't wait to try out the blue ray player but for now i just disconnected it and put it in the box. I'll hook it back up when i set up the plasma in the new office.

I'm not a real big gamer but I have a PS2 and a PSP so this should be fun to have when i want a break ..

I just got back from Best Buy, went to pick up Resistance...they had a pile of 50+ PS3s just sitting there. I was surprised that they hoarded them like the did to sell this week. They wouldn't have sat on that floor for two minutes a week a go.

I'm going to get a Wii also down the road when they are easier to get. I have a 9 year old so even know I don't play a lot he does. He has a DS also and that this is pretty cool. I actually have 2 PSP's one for me and one for him .. so we can hook them together

Thats sick, nice!

I've heard unsubstantiated rumors that playing games on a Plasma will fuck them up (burn in from score boards, etc), and LCD is the choice for gaming. Might want to check into it.

I think that was an issue with the first generation plasma .. they say that is much harder to do now. plus the PS3 has a screen saver so if you leave it on after 10 Min's it will go on. just like a PC

While it happend VERY rappidly with first generation plazma's even 2nd/3rd generation ones have this problem. YOU DO NOT want to play PS3 or Xbox 360 on your Plazma for more than a day or two, as it WILL burn in if you play the same game over and over for a couple of weeks. Whatever is permantly on the screen that never changes (scoreboards etc) do get burnt in.

I have a 60inch latest LG Plazma and started to see the burn in while playing xbox360, luckily stopped before it was permanent, but the image was burnt into the screen for a good 10 hours (faintly).

The LCD's are the way to go no burn in to worry about and great picture.

Well it's the game play itself that does it, so the screensaver won't really help you there. I got burn in on a projection tv from playing Socom 2 so long on it, the Ammo Count which is a constant on the screen while you play, is what burned in.

MikeVega · 01-01-2007, 09:11 PM

I see what you mean .. like life stats and scores .. maps .. but I don't play for more then an hour at a clip ... i just play to take a break ..

My husband is enjoying the PS3 that we have. The NHL Hockey is amazing

Violetta · 01-01-2007, 11:44 PM

Tony Hawk Project 8 I assume? Love that game!

pocketkangaroo · 01-01-2007, 11:51 PM

The plasma burn should really only be a factor in the first 100 hours or month of the TVs life. After that, you shouldn't have any problems. When you get a new plasma, just keep it on for a day or two on a movie channel that doesn't have an imprinted logo on it and it should be fine.

Sounds like a sweet setup

Yeah that's it. My son and I play all the other Tony Hawk games for the PS2 and i figured we can play this one together. I need to go get a few shooter games for myself.

I agree, this is the same reason I bought an XBOX360, so I could unwind or play while I work a little.

Manowar · 01-03-2007, 10:33 AM

heard the graphics were insane

L0stMind · 01-03-2007, 12:18 PM

ok, the fix that the 2nd and 3rd gen plasma's put in place to stop "burn in" is simple - they burn in the rest of the screen to match. Meaning you end up with a duller, grayish picture.

So if you have the money for nice toys, buy an LCD for gaming. Save the plasma for your home theater...

nice setup you have
