Well this should be interesting at least. I can put the USB keyboard into this thing and it works. However, putting this together with a TV that is only 17" and only shows in 480i makes it a royal freakin' pain in the ass to type and view any website. 640x480 died for a freakin' reason. I need a high-def TV. You guys should give me many monies to do this. I have PayPal. You will give.

ALT+Enter to line break? That sucks.

Anyways...

Oh, I didn't know these types of threads were obligatory. I guess the PS3 just got slightly more useful, eh?

Congrats, I guess...?

Yeah, trying to view webpages on a small TV is not good. I also have to do that when I'm searching on my Wii.

I would give you money if I had any .

Okay, well I took a shot with the TV-out box. Unfortunately, I can't get on the internet on my actual comp because I don't have a hub or a router to take advantage of another piece of technology that has the capability of getting on the internet at somewhat decent speeds.

I will say this looks like shit though. Maybe if I had 1080p it wouldn't...then again if that was the case maybe I wouldn't be able to view it.

God this thing is so broken.

I actually saw that being done before and with a PS2. It's just been a rather long time since I've seen it done and it wasn't me.

So you are just messing with this at the moment then connecting it back to your PC?

For now, anyways, yea. If I get to the point where this actually has a use and maybe even Linux on it, that might prove to be a different story. This would prove especially different if I had a wireless router (probably a Wireless-N) hooked up from my room out to the living room and this was hooked to a big screen. I'd be in trouble because I wouldn't know which system to use.

Well, probably not but hey it means that my net would be more versatile.

Okay, got some shots of it, just to give you an idea of what it's showing:











Neat.

Even 480i looks quite a bit better when you can use component video instead of composite:


But I don't know how well my 27" LCD (computer screen, not even a TV) would handle 1080p input, and it's all I can use component on

My screen can manage up to 1080i; it's a fakeo 1366 x 768 pixel monitor, but it can do a good job of scaling (I think).

I think this this new one I have is 720p/1080i but I don't have it hooked up as such nor do I have a way of connecting DVI into this thing. Seems it only supports HDMI, component and composite natively. I'd have to have an HDMI to DVI convertor.

My monitor is just 30 pixels shy of 1080i HD, vertically. How silly.

Which Ps3 did you get anyway? Can't remember seeing if you posted the size of the HD or not.
