And not a moment too soon. The WarHawk beta that I’ve been playing nonstop ends next week. I can’t wait for the retail version – they’ve made a good number of changes from the beta. Hopefully the freezing problems will be completely resolved. We’ll see. Anyone with a PS3, I would suggest you pick this bad-boy up – it’s hella fun.
While waiting for the flood of killer games to finally come in for the PS3, I decided to try something with a PSP. I finally bought one – the first hand-held gaming device I have ever owned (unless you count the little LED football game from years ago) So here’s my setup, and damn is it cool:
1. Tivo Desktop “Auto-transfers” whatever shows I want to my PCÂ (500GB external drive)
2. Every night I have a batch file run that strips off the Tivo encryption (don’t tell the authorities)
I had this setup from before so I could play my recordings on my Hauppage MediaMVP on another TV in the house (I’m sorry, but I’m addicted to being able to time-shift my television watching)
3. I installed TVersity on said PC to stream my MP3 collection, pictures, and Tivo’d shows to my PS3
4. Remote Play – yes kids, I can play all my music and videos over the interwebs. Anyplace there’s wireless internet access, I can get to all my media content I have stored at home from my PSP. It’s not restricted to just what’s on my PS3’s piddly 60GB drive, it’s everything. This is decidedly cool, and would probably piss off Senator Stevens. So yesterday I spent my lunch hour watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
It actually works very well – the quality is decent and it hardly chops at all. The only thing I need now is a way to turn my PC at home into a bluetooth PS3 remote so I can turn it on remotely. As it sits now, you have to leave your PS3 on in “Remote Play” mode all day so you can connect to it.
