Oh Snap Review: PS3 or Wii netflix

in , , , ,
Oh snap my wife did a very smart thing she ordered the Netflix home movie disks for both the PS3 and the Wii! All I can say is job well done.
Both play instant movies from your instant queue. If you change a movie from the PS3 or your computer it updates to all sources! With Netflix's new movie list it's really fun to watch old movies that havnt gone to HD yet.
Now the Wii doesn't have HD, but it does make it nice to have in the bedroom. So the PS3 with HD in the front with the big screen full 7.1 surround sound, and the little Wii in the bed room! The Wii is a little easier to navigate due to the Wii remote. I can also run both at the same time! That means I can watch Godzilla in the front room ( in HD) and anime in the back, for the wife! This also moves me and my family one step closer to having no cable or satellite and watching everything online!
These two disks get 5 out of 5 oh snaps!

Oh Snap, "Nerd" news Sept. 22

I'm a big PC gamer and I just read  a story from techradar.com saying the Intel, what that's right INTEL's new CPU maybe the new wave in GPU/CPU video gaming. What does that mean for you and me, nothing RIGHT NOW but in a few years no more Nvidia, or AMD GPU war? Sure I'll have to buy all new Computer again, but with computer prices dropping that shouldn't be a problem, (unless the economy drops too, or I can't find a job in a week!) So anywho read more here and let me know what you think! Thanks techradar.com!!

PS3 and DRM to things that are not great together!

I'm so screwed I have the 40gig PS3, I bought it for the Blu-ray, and now I was thinking about getting a bigger HD for it. Now I can't because I didn't read the fine print again. That's if I want to buy a video fron their lovely PS3 video store before I upgrade I could lose it because and I quote.

" If you perform any of the following operations after backing up, copyright-protected video files in the backup data may not restore correctly.

  • Format the hard disk

  • Restore the PS3™ system

  • Move copyright-protected video

  • Download copyright-protected video

  • Play copyright-protected video that has a time restriction for the first time"


Well there you have it I guess that means now movie downloads till my new drive and I better make it a big one so I don't have to back up too many times. Now Sony says you can call them up and fix this problem, but should I have to? I hope they get this fixed, just like they need to fix the 40gig PS3 playing PS3 games with software emutaltion. (It can be done I know it!) Check it out here at engadget.com
