Yes, I had the same problem with my audio having to switch it to bitstream to get the Dolby surround and I had to put in an optical cable to carry the sound. I have a Sony Receiver that I bought that had 2 HDMI ins and 1 out, yet I had to find out from calling into tech support when I bought the PS3 that my receiver just had a passthrough capability....I mean, why have the HDMI connections if it is not going to take the sound out of the HDMI cables and send the picture through the HDMI out to the HDTV? I could not believe it and it kinda ticked me off to no end when I found this out. Why do they do this? seems like it is shooting themselves in the foot if you ask me

okay, here is another question. Does Sony have plans of upgrading their integrated web browser? Like when I try to pull up Macrossworld on it, it keeps reloading the page over and over again, and something I can click on a topic to make it stop, and sometimes I cant. So, I guess if they allowed for download of another web browser, that would make me happy, since that is all that I really want to do anyway. So, what suggestions can you make, or do you know of something in the pipeline that is coming from Sony? Thanks Twich

Okay....I sort of follow what you have written, please forgive my ignorance, but I thought that Yellow Dog Linux was the version written exclusively for PS3, is this not true? How about Ubuntu? Is this something that would work okay on PS3? I would like to run something that enables me to have a better web browser on my PS3 like Firefox, so that I dont have to rely on my computer to access the internet or web pages. What do you all suggest? Yes, I know I am pretty ignorant when it comes to this stuff. Thanks Twich

I have absolutely no interest in Racing Games, but I could see how the whole deal with GT5 is going to sour a lot of people who love the series and want to buy the game when it comes out. So, is this the definiative HD version that was supposed to come out around the same time as the PS3?

I have given the use of my XBox 360 to my 7 year old so that he can play it.....I am focused solely on the PS3. I just love the thing. I dont know if I am going to go with Dualshock 3 yet or not, but I cant wait until MGS4 comes out. I have a question about installing Linux Yellow Dog on the PS3....what benefit does this do for you, can you utilize it like a desktop computer, granted that you pick up the USB/Bluetooth keyboard/mouse thing? I think it would be nice to have a computer set up like that, but how much space does it use on the HDD? I have a 60 GB unit. Does it allow you to display things in HD resolution using Linux? I am soo unknowledgeable about this sort of things, so please bear with me. Twich ps-here is a questions..... Does anyone think it is possible to put Mac OS X 10.5 on the PS3? Now that would be awesome! But probably not possible.

WOW, a B-2 crashing....that is a billion dollar mistake.....what happened? Twich

I really like Smallville, currently I am in the middle of Season 5 DVD box set, Wal-Mart has all 6 season for $20 a pop for anyone wanting the DVD's. I have not really seen season 7 yet, but I really like the show and where they have gone. Twich

well, you have to remember the numbers that we are talking about....the compendium states that the VF-19S has 2 Shinsei Industry/P&W/Roice FF-2550J engines that produce 78950kg of thrust a piece. Now think on that...173690 pounds of thrust per engine....roughly 86.5 tons of thrust....I think that a matter of 20-30 tons on a 10 ton VF-25 is not going to make a heap of worry for that much thrust....and that is for the VF-19S, no telling how much more power the engines for the VF-25 produce.

Cool, Thanks for the advice guys.....I think a Mini Mac is a good way to go, plus I can hook it up to my 32" HDTV that has a VGA in, as long as I use the extra adapter that came with my video card that changes DVI-VGA, and if eventually I get a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth trackball, I can use those with the Mini Mac and my PS3, which I have been wanting to set up for my PS3 for a while now. Guess I can start saving up for one of those Macbooks or iMac's to replace my present desktop setup eventually. Twich

Okay, I have a kinda quick question. Please dont laugh at me, but I am very interested in trying out the Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard, but I dont want to dump $1000+ for a laptop/desktop right now since I have a baby on the way....is there a way that I can get the OS X 10.5 Leopard for my present computer Install and use it? I have a custom built Windows Based machine Asus Av8 Deluxe motherboard (AGP 8X) AMD Athlon 64 3000+(1.8 Ghz) GeForce 7800 GS Overclocked by BFG with 256 MB DDR3 ram 2 GB PC3200 Ram 120 GB HDD Windows XP Home with SP2 Now, is this even possible? I am totally in the dark on computers, and I would like to just run Mac OS X 10.5 without having to go out and buy one for a couple thousand dollars. Thanks!

Sorry Duke, I didnt read the last 6 words of your sentence

Also, take into account that the Macross 5 fleet had like 2 or 3 Macross class colony ships plus the Neo-Nup ship at its core....so some fleets might have more than 1 macross class ship in the content of fleet.

are people excited for the new Crisis Core:Final Fantasy 7 game? I have always like Final Fantasy games, but could not really get into FF10, and havent played 12 yet because my wife doesnt like those kinds of games.... I would like to get it, but want to wait what people think of it before investing. Twich

Yeah, I have a 60 GB version and I bought it at Wal-Mart.....I do not think that I will be able to take it back and I know they dont have any more 60's or 80's for that matter....and PS2 backwards compatibility is very important to me and my wife. Not too much to do I guess.... Twich

My Playstation 3 needs to have video and audio settings reset all the time, and it is plugged in and in standby mode for the time that I am not using it, I found that since I have it plugged throught the receiver for the HDMI to go to the LCD HDTV, if I dont let the receiver completely turn on and "click" it resets itself...kinda a pain really Twich

Okay, I just wanted to ask people what they thought about the Web Browsing capability of the PS3? I have the 60GB PS3 version, and was wondering if there were any tips or tricks people might suggest to make the PS3 a better web browsing machine? Also, does Sony have future plans to upgrade this feature of the PS3? What would you guys suggest as the best/most cost effective bluetooth keyboard/trackball that is compatible with the PS3? Or is Sony going to go the XBox 360 route and add a little message pad on the bottom of the controller? I hope not..... Does anybody else have a problem with turning on your PS3 and finding that it needs to reset the Display/Audio settings? I dont know if it is because I run my PS3 picture through my receiver via a HDMI cable, but have to run the sound through the Digital Optical connection because the Sony Receiver with HDMI ins that I have does not have the capability to take the audio signal that is in the HDMI cable and use it. I called Sony tech support when I bought my PS3 to find out why that was, and they told me the model of my received did not allow for that....why have the HDMI connection if it wont take the sound out? But what are peoples thoughts/suggestions? Twich

You are right, we will have to wait and see what happens in the next 25 or so episodes( or is it going to run 36?) Just from a fan standpoint, I would like to see the use of new attachments for the VF-25 and VF-171, as well as seeing the VB-6 make an appearance. I just cant see the VF-25 making a dent in those large red enemies unless they receive a significant increase in firepower in the coming episodes. The way the gunpod rounds just bounced off of the Large Enemy makes me worry a bit. Twich

Just had a thought, and I dont know if this has been brought up before and I am at work, so I cant search all 19 pages to see. I noticed in re-watching the first episode that the "large" Red enemy was actually quite a bit larger than the VF-25 and the "small" Enemy was about the same size as the VF-171/VF-25. So my question is, are they bringing the VB-6 Koenig Monster to compete with the "Large" enemies? They would seem to be the same size and probably the same firepower. So, what are people thoughts on this? Could this be the reason to bring in the VB-6? Twich

VF-25 Super Nova

hey, is that G1 color version of the Masterpiece Starscream available in the states yet? Also, how is the Ultimate Bumblebee? Is it nice and solid, or is it loose and floppy? I think they should do a leader class Movie2007 Starscream Twich

Can someone do me a favor and tell me where I can find out the information on ALL the toys that are being released for the movie? I hear people talk of the Leader class Brawl and Final Battle Jazz, where are you getting this info from? Where are the pictures of the toys? Thanks! Twich

Wow, I really cant wait to hear more news of this....I am really interested in seeing where The Powers That Be go with this, but it is almost certain we will get new Valkyrie designs out of it! I cant wait! Twich

So anyone have asny ideas when they will have an update that will allow you to download PS1 game straight to your PSP without the PS3? I am really looking forward to that, I have some games I would love to play again! Twich

anybody have any ideas where I might get a strategy guide for Killzone:Liberation? I am really trying to get started on the game and I am so out of touch with the story, a strategy guide might help me out. Thanks! Also, how is the single player portion of Metal Gear Solid:PO? Is it tight and playable in Portable Format? I am really wondering if I should get the game, and I am NOT into the online, player vs Player thing. Twich

Okay, so who here has picked up Metal Gear Solid:Portable Ops? I would like to know what people think before I buy it. I picked up the Metal Gear Acid thing for the PSP and was less than impressed with the card system. Twich
