why there is no android application to jailbreak ps3??

I know I know, you can jailbreak the 3.41 ps3 with an android phone, typically in recovery mode, but… why there isn’t an android application that can do the same thing, so jailbreakers do not need to restart the phone every time?

PS3 Jailbreak, will it kill your Blu-Ray drive quicker?

Since jailbreaking a PS3 requires the eject button being pressed each time, and it’s required to have a game disc to play games stored in your HDD, will it shorten the Blu-Ray life span?

I Ignored the reviews I have read about this game and bought it half price from EB Games @ $60, thought I picked up a good deal… until I started playing it… The game truly sucked, graphics was shite, gameplay was shite… Turned difficulty to easy so I could finish the game in 3 nights… Read More »

Playstation 3 Firmware update 3.41 was senseless

The whole update which Sony advertised was only adding a “recommendation” function to the PSN store, come on! Can’t you guys hold it back till a bigger update? Also, this kind of crap functionality I cannot care less.

Playing HD MKV files on PS3 (Quickest way)

James Lin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 01:20:19 +0000

OK, I got this big ass mkv movie file (15gb) from a friend and I want to play it on my PS3, since my laptop isn’t fast enough to play it smoothly.
In order to let your PS3 play the mkv file, you will need the following:

* The MKV file
* Windows operating system
* External USB HDD, formatted as FAT32, if your HDD is more than 32GB of space, make a partition less than 32GB and format it as FAT32.
* Google “mkv2vob”, download and install it

Once you have installed “mkv2vob” and fired it up:

1. Go to the “Configuration” tab, set Video Transcoding to “Never”, Prefer subtitle language to “Never”
2. Output file extension to “M2TS”, and File Splitting to “Fat 32 4GB”
3. Go back to “Add File” tab to choose your MKV file and the Destination directory (this should be your external HDD with FAT32 drive)
4. Hit “Add File” button
5. Once the process if finished, you should see the converted files on your external HDD
6. Plugin you external HDD to your PS3, you should be able to view your converted MKV high definition movies.
