Tell me how it went

Tell me how it went. I currently bought an EyeToy for the PS3 for $25 including shipping on eBay but haven’t tried it extensively. I simply got to see the feed of the camera through their program but haven’t been able to use the camera through Skype or MSN yet. Either way it looks very promising!

Have you ever dreamt of using your PS3 controller on your PC? Well, dream no more because its possible!

Using your PS3 Controller on your PC

It’s recommended to have Windows XP or higher. It’s also been able to be used on a Mac via Boot Camp.

1. First of all download the driver and install the filter driver (libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe).

2. Unpack the ps3sixasis_en.

Want access to Hulu, CBS, ESPN, YouTube, and Netflix on your console? PlayOn! provides the solution for Playstation 3, X-Box 360, and soon the Wii. Netflix support is coming soon…

PlayOn!

Simply sign up for the beta, it is open to everyone. I received an invitation within two days. I then installed the software, ran it on my pc, and seconds after I had PlayOn! capabilities on my XMB within my PS3.

Videos take about 10 seconds to load but after that, I had video up and running. Quality is same found on the websites so don’t expect HD quality. You get what you paid for! I mean, you did pay a lot for it…(it’s free).

With Netflix support coming soon, this application looks very promising. So what are you waiting for?
