Heh, woops. I did my federal and already got a refund but haven't done the state yet. I'm doing that tomorrow. I guess the fact that I will probably only get maybe $100 from the state doesn't exactly motivate me to do those taxes early. After that, I have some projects and studying to do.

Owen - it's like they hired the new guy, said "we're going out of town for the weekend" and left you the keys.

So don't sweat the small stuff. You're doing just fine, with a record number of posts in a row. Nicely done. Really, GREAT job so far. I'm enjoying the stories you're posting.

Hmm...maybe it's time to pull ol' Bernie out of the closet for the weekend! Party at Kotaku!

Yay! A new store! But it still won't have any content!

C'mon Sony! Get with the program DL media is where it's at. Sony could beat the XBox on this if only they got aff their asses. I DL movies on the 360 2-3 weekends a month. I would absolutely use my PS3 for this if only they would offer 1080P downloads, and option to own instead of rent. Honestly, the 360 has the PS3 beat on anything and everything online related, which is why my PS3 is STILL just a blu-ray player.

@Sailorcancer:
People who buy Rock Band songs? (before they added an in-game store)

People who download trailers and demos?

People who download free themes and wallpapers?

People who're generally interested in DLC?

@Playstation:

My friends BluRay drive crapped out on him. Even though it was a used one from eBay, Sony took it back free of charge and sent out a new one. The only they charged him for was for the original cables that came with it (he had lost them when he moved). So it only cost him about $12.

Just call them up, you'd be surprised what they'll replacde for you.

@slomo788:

Oh I forgot to mention *how to people that don't read manuals in my post.

You can't see video output and you want to shutdown:

Shutdown the running console by pressing over the power button on front of the console. It's optical just hold your finger over the symbol it doesn't depress. After a few seconds it'll power down.

*Never just flip the switch in the back -- you'll possibly corrupt your HDD if you do it enough.

Booting up with A/V 'reset':

* Press the optical power button and continue to press until you hear a beep. A/V will be reset to both HDMI and Composite ( yellow plug ). You can now adjust your input from either of those.

eg If you use Component set it up from Composite now, etc. If you have the option switch to HDMI you can get cables for as cheap as $5, and SONY branded cables are only $15-$20 if you must have a pretty one with matched colors. The color quality is better, and you get better resolution in some cases.

Mongoosekun — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 12:46:10 MDT

@Playstation:

Check your cables -- the A/V gets loose if you have small animals including children chewing/tripping over cords. Also set your monitor to the correct input. This is why HDMI rules. One cable with a much better physical interface too. 1080p with better color is nice too. ;)

Owen.

You're doing agreat job. After a week of asshattery in Kotaku, you managed to post a few articles that had some good conversations going, I found the whole discussion that stemmed from the issue of colourblind gamers to be the most informative thing I've read here in a while.

And now you've got people discussing the merits of René Magritte.

Did my taxes almost a month ago.

Never see what the big deal is anyway, put all your T4 info into the tax program forms, skip the N/A stuff, print and enjoy a beer.

Course I'm in Canada, I think we probably don't have to declare half the stuff you Americans do...

Does that mean that the new firmware/store update is going to go live at 12:01am EST on Tuesday morning?

I can't imagine they would schedule downtime for the store all day Monday and then bring it back up in the early hours of Tuesday morning with the old store interface. Looks like I might be staying up late Monday.

@slomo788:

You can also hold down the power when you turn the system on. It will revert to the default resolution settings. My launch system bit it a few months after I got it. The second system I got has been going strong since.

Make sure you back up your saves and stuff every once in a while. You can redownload games, but you can't get saved games back if they send you a new system.

So I guess this means the store will be up and running everywhere on tuesday. I like this move because should anything go wrong it'll give Sony a day or two to fix before the regular thursday update.
