I’m losing my battle against owning a PS3
May 2nd, 2008
I hate Sony. For too long has their proprietary shit machines have bummed me out. Everything, that is, except their consoles.
When the Wii and PS3 launched, I bought a Wii - because that was the sensible thing to do. I don’t need a $600 video game console with $50 games. Especially not when I just built a $1200 smoking fast desktop PC.
And yet, hooker killing in a game that might make me feel bad about it beckons mightily…
And if rt would just tell how the media streaming is, I could finally make a choice to abstain, or to plunge headlong into a fiery chasm of vicarious violence that offers an appalling look at myself in a world with slightly fewer consequences.
Update
Okay, so the PS3 doesn’t actually function as a network media streamer. Very disappointing.
If you want to stream media to the PS3, it looks like you have to run some app on *another* computer on your network to stream media that’s been selected in the app to the PS3.
Weak sauce, Sony - royal weak sauce.
Looks like a Mac mini is in my future.
(Well, either a mac mini or another soft-modded original xbox, which functions pretty damn well as a media streamer, with the exception of easy non-xbox remote setup…)

Here’s the argument I made to myself buying the 360: 1) the hardware was sold at a loss to microsoft 2) buy only used games. Net effect of you on Microsoft’s bottom line: a loss.

I think you should go for it! And this is in no way motivated by that fact that I would get to play it whenever you’re not. Nope, that never even entered my mind.
