I'd much prefer more frequent updates where they deliver the newest features sooner rather than waiting months to receive the new updates...]]>Mar 24th 2008 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 24th 2008 11:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/
As for your Mac streaming problems I doubt the 360 is any smoother unless you're using 360 connect (which I am, and love). In which case you can also get Media Link from nullriver and enjoy the same Mac-PS3 goodness that you do with a 360. ]]>Mar 24th 2008 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 24th 2008 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/
Not saying your are lying, but I've never had any problems whatsoever with a PS3 update, nor have I really heard of anyone else having many problems either. The Divx/Xvid update was great and is working fine for me. I love the wifi video streaming and USB memory stick support. H264/MPEG4/Divx/Xvid/WMV work great for me. Only annoying thing is no Matroska support.

Anyways, If you've already tried to troubleshoot the Divx problem, just ignore this, but otherwise here are some ideas:

1) Make sure the Divx movie is not a Divx encoder version 3.11. For some reason, the PS3 can't play files encoded with this version of Divx software.

2) I'm not sure if update 2.20 corrects this now, but Divx (and WMV) files have to be under 2GB in size.

3) If the Divx file extension is AVI, change it to .divx and try again. (note: you usually don't need to do this)

4) If the file isn't found, make sure press triangle and select "show/reveal all files"]]>Mar 24th 2008 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 24th 2008 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/
I've done 1, 2, and 4. Shall try 3 tomorrow, hopefully. I've pretty much stopped using the PC, though. Only reason I would want to use it now is because of it having a much larger HD (about 300 GB more. lol)]]>Mar 24th 2008 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 24th 2008 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/
This update fixes that.]]>Mar 25th 2008 2:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 25th 2008 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/
Actually, no, that's kinda silly. I guess I see where you're coming from, but I think it's fine the way it is.]]>Mar 25th 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 25th 2008 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/
HOPEFULLY people will stop saying
"I hope PS3 gets better games" because right now, PS3 has most of the TOP PLAYED ONLINE GAMES such as Call of Duty 4, Rainbow 6 Vegas (1 and 2), and a bunch of RPG's I'm not interested in.

SOON AND VERY SOON, MGS4 and GTA4 will be released and that will help the PS3 even more to shake the image of not enough games - or original content.

The only thing hurting PS3 right now is the lack of the Dual Shock 3 controller - WHICH IS COMING VERY SOON.

The PS3, thanks to its upgradable Blu Ray specs is the perfect Blu Ray player. I think I know what alot of people will be spending their BUSH TAX REBATE on in May.]]>Mar 24th 2008 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/
Sorry, but as of right now, if you don't care much about Blu-Ray, then there is no real reason to choose the PS3 over an Xbox. Yeah, it will have some pretty kick ass exclusives down the line, but not as many as the 360 so far.

However, if Blu-Ray is a big deal, then the PS3 is an option.

I'm not denying the fact that the PS3 is a good console, its just Sony made it a Blu-Ray player first, game console second.]]>Mar 25th 2008 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/
Some people would perfer to use the PS3 controller to play games than the 360 controller (I personally perfer the 360's controller) therefore, PS3 has plenty of use.

The Blu Ray feature is the icing on the cake and I'm suprised that PS3 hasn't been sold even harder as an UPDATE-ABLE, BLU RAY PLAYER because unlike every other player on the market that stands alone, the PS3 is truly expandable.]]>Mar 25th 2008 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/
WTF? why wait, it only takes 20 minutes to update and adds reliability instead of 2 updates a year and having to wait for the RROD to fix itself.

I am all for constant updating, makes me feel warm and tingly.]]>Mar 24th 2008 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/
Don't forget, in the past, backups have BRICKED 360 consoles. There is a large portion of launch buyers with 360's that haven't failed - yet...and can be bricked by an update conflict.]]>Mar 24th 2008 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 24th 2008 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Along with blu ray live support it suppose to give you the ability to display subtitles with divx movies.

I can't display the subtitles... Anyone succeeded?

I take it you haven't been paying very close attention these last few days, have you? Unless you're WTeffing at the lack of portable copy, but I thought Sony said that'd be out in April...]]>Mar 24th 2008 11:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/

Maybe you should have stuck with 2.17 - Vintage firmwares are all the rage (at least that's what the cheeky bastards with PSPs tell me)

Oh wait, nevermind, you're not a pirate :p]]>Mar 24th 2008 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 25th 2008 7:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 24th 2008 11:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 25th 2008 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/

1) Make sure the Divx movie is not a Divx encoder version 3.11. For some reason, the PS3 can't play files encoded with this version of Divx software.

-Version 3.11 is an illegal version of Divx. So you can kinda understand if Sony doesn't support it.

2) I'm not sure if update 2.20 corrects this now, but Divx (and WMV) files have to be under 2GB in size.

-Firmware 2.2 removes the 2gb restriction.

As for some complaining about frequent updates, it is akin to complaining about eating every couple of hours. The updates provide security fixes, bc updates, game patches, PLUS other cool little neat features for the users to enjoy. If the update is ready, then release it! I don't understand the logic of people complaining about a new feature for them or for fixes and performance tweaks to the system. It is always a lose lose situation. People want features, Sony updates monthly. People want less updates, Sony says it will start to update less, people demand features and fixes now! I enjoy Christmas monthly!]]>Mar 25th 2008 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 25th 2008 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 25th 2008 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 25th 2008 1:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/Mar 25th 2008 1:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/24/ps3-2-20-update-is-out-get-your-bd-live-while-its-fresh/
It is an even better feature for those with secondary speakers located far away from their AV rig (ie, on a deck or at poolside). Now you can change your music without having to return to the PS3.
