PS3/360 and Yellowstone

Lately I have been getting pissed off at my PS3.  I think the bluetooth unit is going bad.  Many times my controller won't sync.

Listening to a recent Major Nelson podcast there is a little feature of the 360 I take for granted.  The rich presence text.  The PS3 only tells you what game a friend is playing.  The 360 can give you more information, depending on the developer.  I use this often.  Usually siddd05 is playing sports games.  If he is playing MLB I will wait until I see that he is in the 9th inning before I send him and invite to a game.  Many times I will wonder if a person is playing single player or multiplayer.  If they are playing multiplayer I will see if there is room otherwise I might play a different game.  I've been doing this a lot lately.  If I don't see anyone playing a multiplayer game I will continue my GTA4 story.  It's not a major feature but it is one that would be nice on the PS3.

I am getting annoying with the 360 context sensitive toasts.  It's a cool feature but it has been getting in the way lately.  I may want to go to the guide but then a bunch of people pop online.  So I can't get to the guide until I wait for all the toasts to disappear.


Last week I was at Yellowstone.  It was fun.  The first two days it was 70s and 80s.  The next two days it snowed.  It's a beautiful area.  Saw some cool animal.  Happen to see two rattlesnakes mating.  I loved the Badlands and Custer park area.  I will take a motorcycle trip out there at some point.
