[PS3 #62] This Is Living!

Als alle PS3 draaiers PS30 voor hun naam zetten, dan blijven er 12 characters over voor je eigen naam en zit je automatisch in subteam PS3 van DPC (mits je 92 als teamnummer invult).

If your router does not support uPnP (e.g. you're getting a NAT Failure error) it is still possible to get NAT type 2. You're router needs to be configured to forward some ports to your PS3. Quoting from the manual:

"The port numbers for PLAYSTATION®Network servers used for this are TCP: 80, 443, 5223 and UDP: 3478, 3479. For voice / video chat and online game play, direct communication with other PS3 systems is used for data transmission during voice / video chat and online gaming. The port number used for this is UDP: 3658."

So you should forward these to the IP address of your PS3 (the manual for the router shoulld explain how to do this). Further, you'll need to setup any other ports required for whatever online games you play. An alternative to this would be to to make your PS3 the DMZ host on your network (again it'll be in your router manual). This essentially will forward all ports to the PS3. Either way you'll get NAT type 2 if done correctly.

you can download movies and game demos from other countries by creating new users and then signing up to playstation network for each user using different countries. important ones are US, Japan, UK, and Hong Kong. After registering, simply visit the playstation store while signed up using a different user and you can download different demos not available in your default country.

when you are playing music, put down on the right analog stick for more than 3 seconds and you will change the background animation type. (left and right will move you through the animations in one animation type but won't change your animation type).

Apparently, you can multitask under ps3. Besides background downloading, you can actually play music and surf the web at the same time. Just play do one of them first and then press the PS button and do the other. (I think you can view pictures as well). Playing movies does stop the other process though.
