Connecting 360 To Laptop

What is Call of Duty: Elite? [Hands-On]

Nobody can be told what Call of Duty: Elite is – you have to see it for yourself. Well, no, that’s not true – but it certainly will help to hear about Activision’s latest expansion to the Call of Duty franchise from somebody who got to see, play with and fiddle with it – which is why I’m here.

Before showing us the full demo of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 , Activision ushered us into a room heavily decorated with Call of Duty: Elite logos so it could be explained to us what Elite, internally codenamed ‘ Project Beachhead ’, is all about.

Long story short: As you’ll know from the posting by the Wall Street Journal who was allowed to publish their story ahead of the embargo the games media are deferring to Call of Duty: Elite is a subscription-based service for Activision’s popular Call of Duty games. It’s not just a Modern Warfare 3 thing – it locks right into Call of Duty: Black Ops and will also lock into all further Call of Duty releases going forward.

What we got to experience was how Elite works through Black Ops – we had Xbox 360s hooked up to Xbox Live and we were playing real people online who had no idea that they were a part of a game showcasing the future of Call of Duty. Our journalist team went in, promptly got our asses collectively kicked by these regular COD players – but then we got to see the new stuff.

Next to us was a laptop loaded up into a private Call of Duty Elite site. Within around 90 seconds of the game being finished the results were showing up on Elite in detail, and that’s Elite’s bread and butter – telling you more about how you can play the game and how you can get better.

It’s based around four key principles – Career, Connect, Compete and Improve. It’s hard to hear the Career aspect without thinking of Microsoft’s Halo Waypoint – Career tracks your recent performance, personal best and other statistics across all Call of Duty games to track your performance over a long period of time.

Connect is all about connecting the different Call of Duty experiences – from Modern Warfare to Black Ops and beyond, but it’s also about Connecting to other gamers. With groups you can create or join groups for anything – from fans of a particular band to those who suffer from hayfever to your own private clan, and within that there’ll be group leaderboards, comments and even communal statistics for you to check out.

Connecting laptop to Ps3? | Xbox 360 PS3 Game

I know that you can hook your media stuff from your laptop (not sure if Vaio only, but I have a Vaio anyways) to your ps3 so you can watch all your video and pictures that were on your laptop. What Im wondering is, is there any way that I can stream my laptop to my PS3 so that I can see everything Im doing on my laptop, to my ps3, to my tv. Like I go to youtube on my laptop, then watch it on my tv, or play a pc game, then see it on my tv, all through my ps3.

I have a VAIO if that helps in any way.

PC games won’t work. But streaming video is easy, but for streaming sites like youtube and hulu you’ll need to pay a subscription to a program like Tversity. If you were to do that, it’d be worth it to just subscribe to Hulu plus and stream it to your ps3 that way.

You can download the Playstation media server on your laptop and stream any video

You cannot connect any computer, or any other device for that fact, to the PS3 to use as a video source. The PS3 does not have any input ports or software that allows such a connection. You can only stream media to it using media software, such as TVersity or PS3 Media Server.

If you really want to connect your laptop to your TV, use a straight connection from your laptop to the TV using the proper cable / adapter.
