Maxconsole writes: "After watching E3 live via a friends stream I heard about the New Video Store for PS3 Owners. It sounded amazing and I planned to purchase content. However the days past and the news comes that its not available to us EU based PS3 owners!

Anyway cutting to the chase, it pissed me off and most of the people I know. Others and I tried the simple basic network concept of Proxy but as you should know it was a FAIL..."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, that is the funniest sh!t I've seen here in a long time!!!

Anyways, yeah it sucks that we have to wait for it, but no worries cus its coming. Which makes me wonder when we'll see the Netflix thing, or something like it, here in EU on the 360, I'm guessing never. So all we get from the dash update is the disgusting avatar system...

Maybe it woudl be wise to put the proper source for this news, which is not Maxconsole, who only got it from another site. They even put the source at the bottom of their own article about this.

n4gs "test", one of the questions the answer was to post the real source link of the article and not the site that wrote about it as the source.

Maxconsole doe not have the complete article with howto as I had not written it at that point.

the full article and source is at http://www.vgwatchdog.com/?...

thanks

5 - I did it but....
in simple terms you have to mess with your router and modem to change the values of your proxy configs and jump in a server allowed to reroute the streaming of the direction, I don't recommend to use this method to no one who doesn't have experience in modem configuration and NAT manipulation (at least) because you can bust your modem configuration.

but yes, it works even with the XBL to access the US store

Stop your b!tchin European PS3 owners. Yes you dont get the video store, but you get Play TV which is much better. Instead of buying T.v Shows, why not record them for free? You got the better end of the deal and your complaining? sheesh.

I don't really plan on spending 80 quid to get something which most set-top boxes do anyway (except perhaps for game recording which I personally aren't that bothered with).

yeah, well, I'm European but I knew since ages ago that that service will start in the US first while PlayTV would be for Europe so don't get it why people is so surprised today

Honestly I don't care about either...I won't overuse my PS3 with other stuff than playing games, I do have a DVR and standalon BR player for that stuff...I only care about games and SONY is delivering, that's why I bought the PS3 to play games

I would never mess up with my modem config just for this...why? then to be complaining about not being able to play online some games?...easier to go out and rent a BR once in a while...if you need so bad that many movies then you don't need a gaming machine

I just got a free HDD recorder with my HD tv. so play TV is no use for me...

I was looking so forward to it as well!
And we have the right to b!tch, EU gets everything late.

SCEE is starting to be better look, we are finally getting a 80gb! and HOME Beta is comming to us same time as the US

but yeah. just wait, we'll get the video store sooner or later.. (hopefully sooner)

the question is , will the NTSC contents play on PAL PS3 ?

hacking to the video store is not the big issue here , it's the region locked contents

Well, when I had SD TV I could still watch trailers from the US store, dont know if they were same thing...

If you have a HDTV, then it shouldnt matter, cause both NTSC and PAL display in 720 p/i and 1080 p/i

because NTSC has a diffrent "SD" resoloution than PAL

darkdoom3000 , I'm not talking about signal , I'm talking about region locked contents

The PAL PS3 can't play a blu-ray movie from NTSC region , and I'm sure the video store is the same issue

let's wait until the man in the source story buy something and try to play it , and let's hope it
