We just love getting our hands on a juicy manual early so we can pore over the contents, study every detail, and drive ourselves crazy with all questions they don't answer! The PlayStation 3's manual has recently popped up online and -- with just a week to go before the PlayStation 3 touches down on North American shores (it's already taken Japan by storm) -- we don't have very long to cram. We've extracted several tidbits buried in there: - Tons of video playback options: "Play video files saved on a USB mass storage device." Very yes.
- Tons of video codec support; including popular codecs like MPEG-2 and H.264. In other words, you might not have to transcode all your stuff into wmv.
- Support for multiple operating systems: this is where your Yellow Dog Linux goes
- PSP Remote Play: you'll need a PS3 "equipped with the wireless LAN feature," it says. What about having it connected over ethernet to a wireless router? Would that count? Will there be an optional wireless add-on for PS3?
- PSone/PS2 memory card support: remember, you'll need the adapter to get your old saves
- PlayStation Store overview: there not much here, but there is one shot of the Store's interface
[Thanks to everyone that send this in!]
