PlayStation Network Help Thread

Let's talk about anything about video games, no matter what platform it is. What is your favorite game? Who is your favorite character? What are the recently released games? What is DLC (downloadable content)? How do I beat this boss? How do I set up my team?

I'm connected thru a wireless router too but my net is fast like my wired net. As for sharing photos, music and videos, I don't know what you did but I'm able to share it without any problems on my PC. I have Windows Vista so I can setup a media server easily that the PS3 can detect. On XP just install windows media player 11.

Here are some instructions: http://manuals.playstation.net/document ... tdlna.html

As for your email problem. I've yet to use email myself on my PS3. Perhaps someone else has experience on this? Anyone guys?

Sounds like a port forwarding / NAT problem. Try disabling the firewalls or any port blocks on your router's settings.

Guys question lang, natry nyo na ba mag coop mode using 2 ps3 without using internet connection? kasi what if ganito yung situation:
i decided to go to my friends house with my ps3 tapos meron din sya sarili ps3 or let say i bought another ps3 unit and another lcd tv
tapos icconnect namin yung ps3 sa isat isa using a Lan cable.

pwede ba kami mag coop mode, provided 2 tv namin kahit hindi naka internet?

try using/choosing the LAN game (one unit will create the other unit will join) nakita ko ito sa warhawk and rainbow six vegas it might work... good luck!

That'll depend on the game. If the game supports LAN/system link play, then there shouldn't be a problem. Games like Warhawk and Call Of Duty 4 have it.
