Helpful How-To PS3 Vids Will Answer Many FAQs
See Full ImageOkay, so it "only does everything." But do you know how to do everything with it?
The PlayStation 3 is a fully functional multimedia entertainment device and chances are, you aren't totally checked out on all those nifty features. Furthermore, with more PSN features and enhancements added on a frequent basis, the whole capability of the machine might prove a tad overwhelming for some consumers. Therefore, we have a need for educational FAQs of a sort. In speaking to Joystiq, PSN director Susan Panico said Sony is in the process of "creating educational videos that will be a great welcome kit for people that are coming to the PS3 and the PlayStation Network." Basically, each video will be an individual, simple walkthrough with answers to common questions like, "How do I get streaming Netflix movies on my PS3?" It'll also tell you about the various PSN-exclusive content, like The Tester and Pulse. It seems Sony will be offering these helpful videos on both the PS3 XMB and online:
"Primarily, it's going to be content that you find very easily on PlayStation.com, as well as on the console itself, though we haven't decided where it's going to live on the XMB."
Well, so long as it's there, right? The Network has been growing and growing and growing lately; you need to be kept up-to-date.

I never got a manual with my used PS3, so other than going on-line to find stuff out, learning everything on it so far has been by trial & error. So there's probably something in the FAQ's that I could still learn.
I think Sony should give the full FAQ listing right under the system update.
And then, also have the first spot in separate sections too, meaning just those specialized FAQ's that pertain to that particular section, like Vid FAQ's in vid section, music ones in music section, etc, etc.).

But if you're wondering, I almost never go there for news. It either comes from press releases or the big sites like GameSpot, Joystiq, Kotaku, etc.

Hey, I think your dad always asking you is a good thing....you & your dad still have the father-son bonding going on.
(Unless he asks you every 2.7 seconds) LOL
