I'd like to try a demo if thats out?

Unfortunately there are no demos at the moment, but with the way Sony has been trying to say that the reviewers are just plain getting it wrong, they may want to just show it to the gamers first-hand.
 
Also wondering if i burn a H264 .mkv file off the internet, will that playback in the PS3?

Are you doing any searches at all? You seem to be asking a lot of questions in this thread that you could easily figure out or quickly research yourself.
 
How has a thread in which the opening post said absolutely nothing stretched to 10 pages?!

It seems sid is trying to justify his purchase of a ps3 to make himself feel better, buyers regret?! :P

Asking questions was the point of the thread

edit/ the sticky talks about profiles etc which mean nothing to me. Also what about embedded DD audio in the Mkv files?

I suppose it would be easier to burn a file and try but i'd rather not waste a dvd.

I like consoles too, I do feel they lack in many deparments in the gaming section though.

Whilst I see some of your points regarding you not liking controllers, I understand it's down to personal opinion, I was merely pointing out that you were saying it as fact that controllers are bad, they aren't, just you can't use them, but on the topic of this point you are so, so, so far away from the truth.

Consoles for quality games to PC's quality games over the last 3 years must be at least 10:1.

I've got to agree, I built a new PC at xmas and since then I've bought maybe 4 new games? where as for the 360 i've bouught over 10, and thats me ignoring a lot of stuff because I can't afford it.

SupComm is the only real new game for me that's worth booting the PC. That and my racing games (LFS, GTR2 etc). Real shame. I'm just glad I've held on and resisted the urge to rebuild for a while. I think the end of this year and start of 08 will be a good time for PC games again. Hopefully.
 
For me PC Gaming is dead, I keep getting excited by the next big release such as Quake Wars, but they end up being the same regurgetated carp!

Only games I play on my PC now are old ones, gone are the golden days of playing doom or quake for the first time, I feel sorry for all the youngsters who will never experience something like that :(

Its a fact that they aren't as accurate as mice, so I will state is as such. Its not even a contest mate, honestly I don't know why you are even bothering to say otherwise, its simply not possible to play certain games satisfactorily with them/

I'm not wasting time to master something which isn't as good as pc controls.

Thats not to say I don't use them.

You must be joking.

Lets see......

Mkv container supported? No
Level 5.1 H.264 supported? No
Playback of video files from dvd drive? No

I guess thats a no then.

Think as from 1.82 update the PS3 supports H264 files (mpeg4 only though) at level 4.1 (1080P), never tried myself but some might have done.
