OK, I have online troubles. I keep getting the error code "80710092" which means the connection times out/I get signed out of the PS Network (the former in this case since I can't connect in the first place). I tried rebooting the router, reestablishing a connection with said router, etc. The thing is, my Mac works fine (duh) and so do my other consoles when it comes to connecting. What's going on? How do I fix this?

With a little more detail I might be able to help.Duċk;2732802
Are you talking about a wireless connection and are your other consoles and Mac connected wirelessly and not having a problem with staying connected to the routee?
If not, have you tried swapping out the ethernet cable from one of your other consoles and see if it stays connected then?
Have you tried to reassign your PS3's IP address?
When you select the Network Settings and Status option in the XMB, what doess it say?
If you are talking about a wireless connection, what happens when you use the "scan" for wireless networks?
Just as an FYI it just started working now, but it was like this yesterday (didn't work until at night).
Everything is wireless.
Nope, how do I do that?
It said that it was connected to my signal and was getting a strong signal. I tried testing it, and while it could get my IP address, it couldn't connect to the internet.
Finds my network and one or two other networks (presumably from neighbors).

Glad to hear its up and running again.Duċk;2732830
Next time it happen, first try and reset the PS3's Wireless Network Settings, as that will reassign the IP address in the event your router may have changed it, although that's unlikely seeing as you are saying the connection was intermittent. Wireless routers are known to be finicky. So your next choice is to reset the router and then reset the Wireless Network Settings on the PS3. If that doesn't work, then reset your modem, followed by the router, and then the PS3 (or any device connected wirelessly to the router that is losing or isn't able to communicate with the router), always in that order.
Well... it went back to its old problems again. I've been resetting the PS3's wireless already and the like. The only thing I haven't done is reset the modem itself, but that'll have to wait until tomorrow.
But I have some cool Heavenly Sword related news.
So that address the second thing I'm curious about Heavenly Sword –*replayability. And to hear it lasts more than 10 hours with unlockables makes me happy. I'll be buying it.
Warhawk's price for downloading has also been announced – $40. Definitely $10 more expensive than what I expected, or was willing to pay... I'll have to think this one over.

I know I'm a little behind but I've been watching some game trailers and playing demos on the PS3. I have a 720p HDTV and a composite cable set up for the moment (set at 1080i). Frankly, if there's this much of a quality difference between a PS3 and a 360 with the same setup then the 360 is in trouble... I actually think it was a bad move for the 360 to come out a year earlier now. They will be the ones to have to start playing catch up. Anyway, at this point and in the next coming months I could totally see myself reverting back to a PS gamer pretty quick.

Is there any way to play photos or mp3 files etc. from more then one folder. Meaning if a person has hundreds of photo's in multiple folders is there anyway to set the slide show up so that you can view all the photo's in all folders with-out changing folders ?

Yes I know that but what I want to do is be able to que up multiple songs from more then one folder or pictures with out having to have everything in the same folder.
Mainly I am using extrenal hardrive with thousands of mp3's and photo's and would like the ability to que them all up say all the mp3 files or photo files. Right now it seems you and only que up one specific folder and not from multiple folders
- You're using composite cables, not component or HDMI. However, judging by the "1080i" comment you might not be using it and just got words mixed up. However...
- You're using 1080i on a 720p TV. Unless you have a60" TV, switch to 720p as it will work tons better.
I don't think it works. However, there's a feature (though complicated) called game sharing with the PS Store, I'll have to dig up some info about how it works though.

Ah you mean like a playlist. Sadly there is no play list editor yet for mp3s or slide shows. I'm sure Sony is holding that one up there sleeve since the psp has a sloppy but usable song grouper like a playlist.

If he is using composite (1 yellow coded video & 2 red/white coded audio cables), then he is watching 480i, as that's all that it supports... and suprisingly, even in 480i the PS3 is still a big step up from a PS2, but to really take full advantage of the PS3, a 720p or 1080p display is the way to go... :tupDuċk;2733195
And for heaven's sake DWA, do yourself a huge favor and don't use composite cables!
I've wondered about this as well. Looking forward to what you find on this subject.

Guys I think that he meant component. I mean, they are very close words, and I often confuse them as well.
Guys. I need an HDTV. I bought motorstorm a few weeks ago, and now I can see the difference between what it looks like on my tv, and what it looks like at Wal-mart when I see little mexican kids playing it. And Im pretty positive that their tv's are just set at 720p. I can only imagine a game and a tv that supports 1080p. But I just dont have the money for one. Im hoping that in the near future, I will be able to buy a small one, like 32 inches or 26 inches at 720p, for my bedroom, and maybe go half and half with my dad on a 42 inch 1080p for the tv room downstairs. But like I said, money is tight around my house, (my parents just got divorced, and my mom doesnt want to be responsible for my sister and I) so it will most likely be a while. Not to mention, I just had to pay for my first semester of college.

You can always attach eSATA drives (or if you're willing to risk the dust, a regular SATA drive). Turn off the box, plug it in, and restart. The 8300 will use it as soon as the internal drive is full. Works every time. The data is pretty well encrypted, though, so you can't move it from box to box.
On-topic: Why not just attach USB2 drives? It's a bit clunky like the XBOX360, but it's a much easier way to add storage, and doesn't violate the warranty.

I use Media Sharing and I have an option to list All Songs or All Pictures. I can also sort by genre, artist, and (I think) Album. I know my pictures can also be sorted by date taken, but since I date all my folders it's an option I rarely use.
Granted this isn't a playlist, but since I generally have a mood for what music I want it allows me to find a list that keeps me happy.

I thought about doing that, but the way I see it is if my wife and I didn't have enough time to watch the programming already on these DVR's, adding more storage space isn't going to help. That's pretty much why I doubt I would ever use the PS3 as a DVR. if I didn't have one, then that would be different.
I even considered for a time to copy some of the old programs off the DVRs to my computer using a video capture card, but I talked myself out of it for the same reason mentioned above. If I didn't have time to watch it while it was sitting on the DVR then it is likely I wouldn’t have time to watch it on my PC or on DVD. This is especially true, because I already have hundreds of DVDs that I have yet to watch, that I know I would really enjoy it if I did.
One of the BIG problems with all these wonderful new electronics that bring amazing audio and visual entertainment to the home, like 1080p displays, PS3, HD DVRs, Hi-Def films & TV programming & games is that I now find I have too many things I know I would really enjoy seeing, and playing, but even if I had no wife and kids and never left the house, and never slept.... even then, I would still not be able to listen, watch, and play all the music, movies, TV programming, and games that I'm sure I would really enjoy... and that's just one of my many interests!
When you take in account the time with; the family, friends, work, research, entertaining, sports, cars, trips, skiing, sailing, books, and now lately with GTP, etc... my interests simply exhaust my time!
I found that out the hard way when a couple years ago my first DVR started crashing periodically. I called and asked if there is some way I could transfer my programs from the bad DVR to another and they said there wasn't. In fact, they said they can't even swap out the internal hard drives.. which frankly I never believed, but also didn’t have the guts to try doing that myself.
I've thought about doing that as well. In other words, keep the 60GB drive, and just use external drives, but I have not tried it yet, so I'm not sure how that would work, or even if the PS3 would let me download videos and games onto an external hard drive, and would they play off of it as well?

I was searching for additional news on Heavenly Sword for the GTP HS Thread, I came across a video of a recent episode of a show from 1up.com simply called "The 1up Show".
The episode doesn't have a name, just a date: 07/27/07.
I strongly recommend you check it out (LINK). It's nearly 40 minutes long, but worth the time.
Here is an index of the content to help navigate through it:

It's funny how Americans (myself included) never have time to actually enjoy the things they're doing and get caught up in just doing so many different things. I just narrow the list down and enjoy the hell out of that. Less TV is better for you anyway.

You can swap them yourself, but you'd obviously void the warranty. Then again, it's just a rental.

I don't see why not. If you can easily install Linux on it, then the file structure can't be completely encrypted. I doubt you could read the games (not without a emulator), but the videos should be some sort of common codec. You can transfer files to & from the PS3, so it's not like using a Kaleidescape or anything (which is encrypted at the hardware level).
