Same but I always completely turn it off. Waste of electricity if left standby.

No. It's actually good for it.

Actually, If you constantly use the emergency shutdown switch in the back, it can seriously harm your ps3 because of power spikes every time you switch it back on, plus it runs only about 20 cents a month to leave the switch on, so its not worth it to me.

You should be able to charge it from any USB input from a computer, ps3, etc. and it should charge just find; just so long as the usb cord is getting power. If you hate charging your controller from your ps3 you should also be able to go out and buy a wall charger for it (if they are available; which I'm not sure if they even exist, lol)

You can also do what I do, constantly charge your controller if you get interrupted in some way, like if someone calls for me on the phone I plug my ps3 controller in; hit pause on the ps3 and go talk on the phone, that way the battery doesn't just get wasted while your away from the ps3, it actually charges.

Another thing that I do is swap controllers; if you own 2 or more controllers, you can charge one controller, while playing with the other, and when the battery runs low for the one, swap for the fully charged one, and hook the dead controller up to the usb cable to let it charge while you play the new one, its a fairly simple solution, but it works amazingly well.

If you own a PS3, but play an Xbox 360 instead, you are most definetly doing it wrong.

I actually went back to Mirrors Edge, and am currently trying for the platinum, dang speedruns can get frustrating sometimes, lol.

There are a lot of reasons why you could have gotten banned from PSN. Have you ever cussed repeatedly over voice chat in CoD online; or every been rude over chat? Have you ever hacked or cheated in ANY of your games? Also, have you ever bought something over PSN, such as Warhawk, and given someone your account to download it for free, or vice versa?

Call Sony ASAP to figure out why; and if you're withholding any information from us, then thats probably the information that got you banned. Anyways, it doesnt matter to tell everyone on the forums about it, because we cant help you with your problem.

Fat Princess is a great game since they've fixed the online, however I still feel that with no real rewards, such as possible "costumes" for your character when obtaining a total amount of exp each match sorta seems like it has no real point.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game, and think its the bext PSN game to date, but I just wish they would have made some sort of unlockable content.

The game is still only $60 in the US. However from what I've found out the PRESTIGE edition is $150, It may be different in other countries; I just wanted to make sure you guys arent getting them confused :). I wont be getting the prestige edition, because I could get 3 games for that price; but I will probably get the Hardened edition, which is $80. I just hope the game doesn't suck, I have such high hopes for it because CoD 4 and 5 were great games.

Having a lawsuit against Sony just for charging a fee for a service they provide is a stupid idea. Sony is providing a service for us by giving us online capability for free, and if they started charging a fee for it, then That is their call. Its their system, their company, and their servers, they can do whatever they want with them.

Thats like sueing an appliance repair service, or a car dealership; or any other service company for that matter, just because they decide to charge a continuing fee on an item you decided to have; which in this case is PSN online service.

Think about it this way; you're getting a service that another person or group of people is providing for you; at their expense. And you have no contract or legal document stating that this service will stay the same price or stay free for agiven amount of time, which means that it can change at any time, and if you are unhappy about it, just cancel the online service because you have no real argument as to why you should have a law-suit against them.

If you're saying that the detail is the same as Red-Yellow-White inputs then you must go into system settings and change the visual output to HDMI.

However, if you mean that NOTHING is showing up on the screen, you may want to change the output on your television; like for me the RYW cables are in my output AV1 which is what I must set my TV to, but when I got my HDMI cable I had to start setting it to HDMI1, so what Im telling you is to try all of your television outputs to see if because of the different cable the output changed as well.

Same here, Im waiting for reviews and possibly a demo on PSN.
