PS3 Buzz reports: I watched a couple of SD DVDs on the PS3 tonight and I think they looked great - comparable to what I would have expected from an HD version of the shows. The only thing that erked me was the noise of the fans kicking on…they seem to go to a 'level 2' or 'level 3' noise level after 20 minutes of watching the movie.
I did notice the fans kick on pretty hard during some Devel May Cry (PS2) bouts over the past couple of days…it's definitely loud.
I have read a few things on the Internet about noise, and generally some people have a loud fan problem and the jury still seems out regarding replacement units from Sony.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
The ps3 does a horrible job on upconverted standard dvds. This is old news and everybody already knows this. If you want a good player with perfect upconversion get a Sammy Bluray player with HQV. Best bluray player on the market.
my sh!t dont make nosie
The only time my PS3 kicks into Stage 3 fan noise is when it's been on for a long time through a game or is funning folding@home... even then it's nowhere near as noisy as the Wii or 360 with a disc in the drive.
I thinks it depends on where you put it and from PS3 to PS3 because mine gets noisy during PS2 games but it never gets to the extend of the Xbox360. My friends Xbox is really annoying when watching an Xvid or Divx that PS3 couldn't load. Oh well everything got it downside but noise is not a big downside at all since it's one the silent devices out there. My PS2 (first gen) was getting really noisy towards his end.
