OMG! Most UnderRated Feature on the PS3 is...

THE media card readers!! I recently just sold my 20 GB PS3 on ebay so I could purchase the 60 GB, well I bought my 60 GB yesterday and I dont regret my decision one bit!!! I must say that the most underrated feature of the PS3 is the Camera media card readers!! Its so nice to just copy my digital pictures straight from my media card to my ps3 with no hassle whatsoever and whenever I have company over and I want to show them some new pics, I no longer have to worry about bringing them all into my computer room or passing around my digital camera to show off the pics, all i need to do is start up my PS3 and everyone can enjoy my pictures on my 50 inch TV, and I LOVE the slideshow feature as well, very creative how it looks like a real photo album and it tells the exact time and date each picture was taken!

This is one feature of the PS3 that is under rated that noone seems to care about but its a really great feature that really adds to the multimedia experience the PS3 offers. Honestly I really think if sony did a better job of explaining each of the PS3 features in detail, it would sell more. Because as it stands now people just see $600.00 and all they see is another gaming console but if they just knew all the other features it has and actually knew in detail, it would sell a lot more!

Well, I still prefer using the digital camera since thats what it for. But hey, it's your preference.

I'll just hook my computer up to my TV to show pictures thank you...

price of cable much less then price of PS3

Well, some people don't have their computer and TV in the same room... and don't have laptops (both of which often cost more than $600)

Most people do.  Sure there are some, but there are some people with a PS3 and no camera either... 

Really? My PC, 360, and my Wii do that too ya know. Lots of electronics do that.goblaa

And? I can still put photo's on my TV through my 360 or Wii. Not that I would want to though.

[QUOTE="goblaa"]Really? My PC, 360, and my Wii do that too ya know. Lots of electronics do that.sdelaney86

The Wii has an SD Card slot, so it can do it too.

Most all decent digicams come with a cable that allows it to hook up to yur TV or receiver anyway. Thats the best way to do it. Putting personal media on a game console is a stupid idea.

Wow, you can do that on 360 too! And you can even play your own music while veiwing, I bet you can't do that on Ps3.Cubs360

you bet wrong. pay me now or i sue. btw its a pain in the ass on the 360. ive done both.

to play with music it has to be on ps3. i think. but you can stream music and other things to your PS3 also.

i believe your opinion is pure garbage. i love havin it on my console.


If the media has to be on the PS3 to be played, then that feature is pure garbage. Streaming it is the only realistic option. Keeping media on your GAMING CONSOLE is like choking it.

Yep you sure can, a lot more seamlessly to might I add and yes i do own both a 360 and PS3. and by the way, its a lot easier to view pics on the PS3, just stick in the media card and your good to go.

Ever go into walgreens and just stick your media card in one of the little kiosks and view pictures? Works the same way, pop in your media card and bam, you can store which pictures you want by choice

ypu have no idea of what you are talking about. and i bet you haven't seen the photo presentation on a PS3 its really cool, and i have a 360 and it doesn't have a presentation like that

Wow, card readers on the PS3.:shock:

You see, this is how 360 owners do it.

First you download your pictures onto your computer, like all people do with digital photo's, and put it in your shared folder(s).

Then you turn on the 360, hit "Media Center" and load up some music, hit the folder of the pictures you want to show in HD with moving/altering slide show.  When your done showing your pictures, why not show your company "Christmas" or "Vacation" pictures in other folders.  When your done that, why not show video's of your Birthday Party .  All of this without getting up once.

And all of this runs through a 100mb ethernet network, unlike the slow read times of card readers.  You see, Media Center and the 360 gives you all your media needs (Video, Pictures and Music) all without getting off you butt once.  All 1tb of HD space is at my command with the 360.  Unlike the PS3, where you have to swap cards or downloading more files from your computer onto a flash card and then again plug it into you PS3.  It's soooo 1990's.

Its almost as if Windows Media Connect doesn't let me do that with my 360 and laptop, much less the nice little cables that came free with my camera that plug into my TV. Or my ipod dock, or my laptop... pundog

My TV(well my dads now since I gave it to him when I moved out, and upgraded to a 50" Samsung 1080P DLP.) had a memory card slot right on the TV, so you could view your pictures without attaching anything. Just plug the card right into it, and look at them. 

I guess it's an underrated feature but AHammer80, I'm starting to suspect you're a fakeboy.SergeantSnitch

I could swear he's Hammerofjustice :?
