There is literally no difference between a 10 dollar HDMI cable and the 90 dollar Monster one except maybe durability.

I have one of each (cheap and expensive) and there is no difference in on-screen quality.

 

[losalmighty]

I am looking at one on Amazon that is only $3, but would I see a difference from the generic HDMI cable I'm already using?

 

[alleyzonjay]

im hoping to pick up UC3 and Batman:AC for $30 a pop during black friday, maybe the last Driver as well since its only $20 and my pops wants it..

I assume Arkham City and not Assassins Creed? The Riddles suck, but the combos trophies are what is holding me back the most. And the fact I cant seem to do the damn VR missions or whatever.

Some of those riddles are a %@@** to get especially the ones where you have to tap 3 riddle circles without touching the ground.  YT has some pretty good vids for the AR training.

Using my 32" Samsung LED TV as both a PC monitor and a TV for PS3. Both connected via HDMI (mini-HDMI for my PC). Haven't tried hooking up my PS3 to a computer monitor, though. It could work, but not perfectly the other way around.

From personal experience, TV's perfect for PS3. Generally LCD/LED TVs are not that good as PC monitors, though. Too bright and screen is too large.

Not to mention somewhat dizzying as well. I'm literally 5-6 feet away when I use my PC on it. Doesn't happen to me when I use my PS3, though.

Hooked up my gaming rig to my friend's native 1920x1080 "Full HD" rig, and the icons aren't that readable. Mine's stuck at 1,366 x 768.

I'd say stick to a PC monitor for PC, and TV for PS3.

Sup fellas?  I need some help.

I recently changed the encryption on my router from WEP to WPA-PSK. My laptop was able to pick up the new settings, but my PS3 doesn't.

Everytime I try to run a internet connection test on my PS3  I get a message saying "key information timed out. WPA key may not be correct"

I know the key is correct because it's the one I used for the wireless network on my laptop.

Has anyone had a similar experience like this or know of a way to fix this?

The irony in all this is that my PS3 could get online with the WEP key but not my laptop (after my hard drive crashed last week) now it's the reverse.

Maintenance, I see

VR missions ain't so bad the second Advanced one took me about 15 minutes. Just pull up as you dive bomb simultaneously. Everything else was ok. I'll never get the perfect freeflow 2.0 trophy

The settings on your consoles or your router?

I have an old router so the WPA2 encryption is not offered.

The WEP encryption was working on both my laptop and PS3 for a while,  but my laptop crashed over the weekend and I had to get a new hard drive and that's when I started having problems.

This one got me close to it but the aerial attack keeps getting me:

That video makes it look too easy.

There was a checklist on the screen or something. I'll try again and hopefully get the trophy within the next couple of days.

the settings online from the router

Proshares, that sequence you posted, if I memorize it & press it in the exact order as soon as a fight starts will I get the trophy?

Also, memo to anyone on the fence about the PS3 wireless headset. It's amazing. So comfortable & has so many uses. Empire, thanks for the recommendation!

PO

 

[Bad Religion]

^ No worries. It's really the best headset I've owned.
Also, memorizing the sequence probably wouldn't work, as every encounter is different. You have to kind of react as the fight is going, which is what makes it so hard. You could probably definitely do it in the same order, but you'd have to throw in counters and flips at different points to keep your hit count going and to avoid being hit, which would break the combo.
