Earlier this evening, I tried switching monitors between my Mac mini and my PS3. I have an older 22" Viewsonic on my Mac that only displays 1680 x 1050. Trying to get a little bit more desktop space, I wanted to hook up a newer Acer monitor that displays 1920 x 1080 (hmm, it's not much bigger). However, the Viewsonic does not have a HDMI port and is the wrong aspect ratio for 1080p HD. I tried setting the PS3 to output 720p while using a HDMI to DVI cable but it didn't work.
Anyway, I ended up rewiring the PS3 and to test it out again, I installed Netflix. Using cousin Albert's account, I got Netflix to work and it looked pretty good. I browsed the movie selection and was happy to find a lot of Japanese anime, though probably dubbed in English. I just finished watching Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex. It was not too bad but I still liked the original better. There seems to be a lot of sequels to the original GITS and the storylines do not follow each other so it's a bit confusing. There seems to be a remastered version of GITS on Netflix... I'm going to watch that next.

maybe i will live to see the day you actually pay for movies on the internet. instead of using your cousin's account, you will have your own NF account.
yeah, that'll be the same day that he owns only 5 computers at the same time.
