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…

Blu-Ray FTW!!
Shame you fail at reading, "though not using Blu-ray as some had thought."
Dat's wut he/she said: "Blu-Ray FTW", meaning he's pissed off due to the fact that PS3 don't use any Blu-Ray...
are you an idiot? ps3's use blue-ray technology they just didn't use it for playing the movies at the theater.
get your facts straight
"FTW" doesn't mean you think it means.
FTW = Fucks The Watch
It usually means "For the win". It used to stand for "Fuck the world".
It can mean "What the Fuck" if you're dyslexic.
What the fuck?
and it can mean "the fuck what" if you're a retard
Fuck the wat?
PS3 slim is so cheap
compare to those expensive blueray players
^ kids these days living in an ignorant blissful world.
a projector may cost you several $k
a PS3 slim costs $300
so the PS3 slim has a built in projector now?
owned
It does.
So you haven't read the article yet by now?
yeah, it does have a projector now and I won't get surprised if ps3 will one day be used in businesses too.
This is such a fucking PS3 fanboy site it's sickening.
Perhaps it would provide a more positive opinion of the 360 if it did not suck so much.
fuckin nice! couldn't have said it better myself
haha go like you balls or something...
or even worse go play on your 360 till it gets the RRoD (wich might already happend to you guys several times before...)
just because the xbox cant do that
if you dont like the site fuck off with your shitty console
Ps3 suck in games then they using it in cinemas ;].
Better than Fag-Box that failed with ROD before people can even do anything with it ;p
to anon at 518
ps3's just don't have as many games as the xbox it doesn't mean they suck at them.
what was the last good xbox only game that came out?

*sarcasm on*
zomg X square circle got halo zomg!!! nothing beats halo!!!!!!!
*sarcasm off*
Well then get some interesting 360 news to balance it out.
RROD occurs while a 360 is being used in the US cinema.
That would be interesting enough!
There's plenty of Xbox 360 coverage and Sony-critical news here, it's just that people automatically filter it out to suit their alignment.
dont go on then dumb shit
This is an asian-centric site you know and the playstation is killing x-box there
The reason this site has more PS3 fans is because most of the 360 fans are busy T-bagging each other in American FPS's.
SOrry xbots, but everytime there's a 360 news article, it has something to do with RROD or hardware going in smoke running an ME2 demo at gamescom. You know what else? Obama disses the xbox, which some think is actually a praise since in America xbox is synonymous to video games. But what do you xbots think instead? Oh... Obama's a sony fanboy. You have yourselves to blame for these kinds of articles.
Then why the hell are you here? Go find your xbot site like VGchartz
I have it on good knowledge that Artefact doesn't care one way or another - he just enjoys pitting the xbox fags against the playstation fags
As someone who doesn't really care about consoles but hears way too much shit about them on the internet, the xbox sounds like quite the heaping pile of fail.
I don't buy consoles though, so what do I know right?
You should pay attention then.
The latest articles say the new xbox hardare has a failure rate of 1%, while the PS3 is maintaining a 10% failure rate. Which means now PS3 hardware fails 10x more than XBox. PS3 fans, just give Microsoft time to once again fuck up things... they are good at that.
Having working in that industry before. I got rather pissed when unfavorable articles get thrown out because THEY are paying huge sums to keep them out from public eyes.
Have you paid attention to the other post by some other users on what caused the RRoD to happen so much on the 360? There you know its impossible for the 1% error rate to happen.
And we know its true that 1% is advertisement because the demo sets out at shopping malls and game shops usually goes down in a few months and its obviously RRoD.
This is such a fucking Japan fanboy site it's sickening.
and you're nothing but a sickening anon who knows any shit about how good sankaku complex is. get the fuck out of this for this is no place for fucking faggots like you.
Lols +1
That would be hilarious if the PS3 has been found to owned not only the 360 in gaming capabilities but also challenge the traditional entertainment devices at home.
Brilliant, I would laugh really hard if I were to witness this
I would cry, interrupt kara no kyoukai? ;_;
Final Fantasy XIII soon, at a theater near you.
Wow, last time I watched that movie it only took 43 hours, but now it has been running for 53 hours...
it´s faster when you play it at normal speed dude...
if that won´t help, try going from "PAUSE" to "PLAY" believe me, it can do wonders...
...In a "Let's Play"-fashion, complete with annoying side commentary from the players!
Wow... this and MGS4... NOW I understand everything!
Thank you so much, Anon!!
