A chance observation by 2ch has led to the surprising discovery that some Japanese movie theatres are actually playing their films from PS3s.
The tale begins with a 2ch denizen’s visit to a Sendai cinema, where the audience’s viewing of Kara no Kyoukai was rudely interrupted by the appearance of an onscreen warning to recharge their controller.
Opinion was quickly split as to whether this was a fine advertisement of the PS3’s capabilities or a rather miserly move on the part of the cinema.
Soon the news spread through 2ch-watching blogs and was picked up by a site which apparently managed to confirm by way of Aniplex that the showing was indeed using a PS3, though not using Blu-ray as some had thought.
It transpires that full HD at 1920×1080 was being stored on the PS3 HDD, with the quality apparently indistinguishable from more typical projector-source hardware.
A number of cinemas are apparently using this method, though it might be hoped they are rather more careful about keeping their controllers charged…

Well that was random
i want to try to play ps3 in movie size screen...
That cinema should've bought a PS3 remote control instead of using the joypad.
so does that means there's cinema quality Kara no kyoukai floating around the internet?
Full HD at 1920×1080 isn't cinema quality. It's just that no one noticed the quality difference.
The more reason to get a PS3.
play me some porn...
If you live in Japan, there's are.
When it can toast bread, ill think about getting one.
lol. the movie theater owners may have been stingy, but if the audience couldn't tell who gives a crap?
superior machine is SUPERIOR!!!
Superior movie-playing device, to be more specific. lol
All I can really say is... I like both PS3 and Xbox360 and of course my PC. Not limiting myself is pretty swell :3

couldn't they just turn of the controllers before playing the movie? or even use a BD remote? still nice to be able to that on your hardrive hopefully the ps4 includes all these features :)
LOLBOX360!
It only RRODs everytime!
LOLPS3!
It only FIRMWAREBRICKS/ YLOD every other time!
Lulz
"everytime" against "every other time"
second you should accept your defeat....
Or for te lulz... YOU FAILED EPIC
Thats why 360 sucks
... But the Xbox 360 does have a remote control. :/
"[T]hough it might be hoped they are rather more careful about keeping their controllers charged…"
Nice line, Artefact. d(^__^)b
That explains why MGS4 was a movie
indeed
haha, silly faggot. and when rising comes out on the trey, as well as the 3shity, ur gonna suck kojimas dick, and say, "sorry we made fun of mgs4, thank u". btw, that 'movie' won multiple game of the year awards. what? a movie won a gaming awards. btw, make sure all u 360 fanboys just got own by a girl. <3
Rofl your funny if you think your halo sh1t and gears of h1t can beat mgs4 and to all you xbox fanboys saying ps3 has nothin on it HAHAHA just you wait bitches AGENT, GOD OF WAR 3 ,GRAND TURISMO 5, and FINAL FANTASY 13 get the FUCK out of here xbox fanboy butthurt b1tches the game are coming to the ps3
but but......
both halo 3 and gears of war series sucked.....
first person shooter on console is like a retard trying to fuck a mail box... PC 4tw
So the only thing you xbots can throw at us are Halo and Gays of war? That's it, nothing else? I feel sorry for you. No wonder xbots are so damn violent all the time.
What's with all these about Halo and Gears of War, whats so fun about these games anyway. I tried it and never really felt the 'greatness' or 'attraction' to continued to play it. I rather go play Counter Strike on a PC in a LAN network... or I'd just go play MGS... VC or BlazBlue... >.>
retarded americans and their spelling rules when many of their words don't even follow the rules.
No one gives two craps for Metal Gear Solid, it got savagely lambasted by both Halo 3 and both Gears of War games.
It's just that Kojima not being able to cover his ridiculous movie-game hybrids' cost with the overly shitty PS3 sales numbers and being forced to port 'em to the 360 in order to break free of the red digits is so much fun, dude...
ReiChama,
if you are even going as far as playing "CounterStrike" then it really shows how bad the 360 is.....
LOL! 360 butthurt asshole fanboys!
listen, i hav a ps3, but just respect other systems. btw, dnt fool urself, you are guy.
you may suck dick and be a wuss, but no one believes you're any kind of girl. And IF you ARE a girl, then you should shoot yourself for being so unwanted
ouch ouch ouch but he's right u "sound" like a guy
"Theatre"... lol. Silly Europeans, spelling things how they don't sound.
Silly Americans have no idea how things are supposed to be pronounced.
"Nucular arsenal.."
English is a complicated language. Theatre is the proper English word, you Americans just simplified it because I have no idea why.
Is it that hard to remember that Theatre is pronounced how it is? If you cant, then how can you remember that "came" is pronounced "caym" and not "ka-me"? >.< Silly people.
Silly Americans, spelling things differently from the original French spelling.
Like every English speaker? No English dialect is spelling the way it sounds.
Yeah I actually wrote that awkwardly, I mean thea"tre" doesn't make a ER sound. That's why we Americans spell it correctly, because, along with other words they screwed up, we spell Theater with an ER. Because... oh I don't know, it makes sense?
YOU MistER have brought even more shame to AmERica than it already had.
OthER example would be starting a war with anothER country....
American English is totally horrible.
Though they sound "most likely correct", its because they do not understand the correct pronunciation of the letters when they are combined.
So you feeling good now? Congratulations!
It's called 'bastardisation'.
what the fuck is 2ch?
your mum
You know before you use the F word, use the "G" word. It saves you, me and the others time.
In fact the "W" word gives a reasonable enough explanation.
Rofl, imagine playing PS3 games at a movie threatre. BIG SCREEN FTW!
With this crappy res and alliasing on screen ?? Not really. I dont want to be blinded for life ;] .
The screen is too big, yah. Resolution isnt high enough :/ Of course itll look crappy. Of course, you are kinda supposed to be quite far awayfrom the screen...
Sez u....
