Want to get the most from your PS3? Here's how

5) Watch anything

Convert movies to run on PS3 with Video9. Available for free fromRed Kawa, it'll convert avi, divx, mpg and other video formats to run on PS3.

6) Show the world your face

Go to Avatar>Select and you should be able to select an image from your Photo library to use as an Avatar (your online picture). Then you can show off your beautiful mug to the world.

7) See it properly

The video reset is the most important thing to remember when using your PS3. If you've set it up for HD and taken it somewhere with a standard TV, simply shut the machine down, then restart it holding the power button down until it beeps. This will reset it into 480p so you can pick your settings.

8) Smile :)

…use emoticons. With the 1.92 firmware upgrade installed, select # on your keyboard in chat, and you'll be given a list of smiley/angry/crazy faces to choose from.
