My wife just gave me an early Father's Day present, the 40Gig PS3, and I have a question...or 3. |

Do you find the Nyko slow when using the remote that came with it? I've got mine programmed into my universal and haven't noted any delays. I used that remote to program my MX-500 and threw it in a closet. But I've programmed in a dozen or more devices over the years on my MX-500 and haven't ever noticed any slowness with it. Plus I've seen others mention the slowness of the Nyko product. Maybe you got a newer version? When I say it's slow, I'm talking about maybe a half second or less for the PS3 to respond after a button push. It doesn't sound like much, but the PS3 controller is instantaneous and you really notice the difference. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

| | Posted: | | | | I probably don't notice/mind any delay because i know i would spend many seconds staring at the PS3 controller wondering: "is Pause the Square or the Circle"  | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

I was talking about it as a DVD player not a blu ray player.  No, the DVD Player is region locked. Software changes to unlock it have the problem, that Sony would overwrite it with the next update. I understand there may be hardware solutions available, but I don't know anything about those. Mine is region 3 only, as I reported above (well, on the previous page). | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

As Dragon 6 said, you could use your remote.
Triangle gets you to enter an on screen menu, allowing you a series of choices. Also some buttons allow for quick access, for example L1 and R1 are for chapter skipping, L2 and R2 are for fast for/backwards (or the other way around, i don't use that very often ).
I think you're manual should have some info on more options assigned to certain buttons.
Ultimately, though, buying a remote, for me at least, is an easier way to watch and manouver thorugh a BR disc. The only problem i have with the remote are the Play, Pause and Stop button. The top button is Play and sometimes instead of pause (which i expected to be under Play) you end up pressing Stop. But this may just be me, and after a while you'll get used to it.
Assigning the BR remote is also very easy and only has to be done once, so i think buying one would be my recommendation,
Hope this helps, Have fun with your PS3. Ans if you want some games i'd recommend:
• Uncharted: Drake's Fortune(review)
• Ratchet & Clank (review)
• Warhawk (review)
• GTA 4 (review)
• Gran Turismo Prologue (review)
• Ninja Gaiden Sigma (review)
and of course, coming soon Metal Gear Solid 4:Guns of the Patriots.
Good luck and enjoy,
Paul It's not just you, I press the stop button instead of pause on a regular basis. |

I'd add Burnout Paradise. And if you're looking for a fun co-op game, check out Pixel Junk Monsters on the Playstation Store. It's only $10 (and another $6 if you want the add-on). My wife and I have played it almost daily for the past 3 months. Fantastic value. You should be able to download demos of both those games as well for free. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
