Oh, please teach me to bypass the fw check with proxy app. I dunno how to do it. Got phobia in updating firmware oredi. My set came pre-loaded with v2.36. Thank you very much vorchiel.

I dont know whether it still works or not for signing in / online gaming since the PSN back-end might be upgraded and some functionality of 2.76/2.80 firmware are required, but you can try.

Read the first post on this thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/921614 on the basic understanding of the firmware & proxy, and you will have to redirect the ps3-updatelist.txt to a file in your computer.

Use CTRL-F to jump to the proxy section faster.

The URL depends on your PS3 region: fus for us ps3, fjp, fuk, fhk etc.


edit: I noticed the format of the ps3-updatelist.txt has been changed by Sony (if compared to the afterdawn guide)

the new one is:



I think you have to change the CompatibleSystemSoftwareVersion into 2.3600 to match your current firmware. The line denotes the lowest firmware permitted before being prompted with the mandatory/must-update screen. But if it still fail, change the second line, according to the afterdawn guide.

I have a HK set, so should I update using the firmware from SONY HK website or the link provided on page1 under Asia?

they are exactly same byte by byte. pick the fastest one that you can download, or read the FAQs thread on firmware for further explanation.

alright thanks

I read from the FAQ that the PS shouldn't be placed on the same level as my front speakers... but what if I place the PS next to and on the same level as my TV?

i have no knowledge about that at all sorry

i merely inherited the compilation from acougan's V2 FAQs thread.

Is it possible to buy the so called points online? I recently come to know about Malaysia PSN store.

Too bad content is still too little.

It won't matter if you place it next to your TV.


They aren't called points. Simply called dollars, ringgit, or whatever currency you buy them on.
This is PS3, not 360. lulz.

And at the moment, technically you can't buy the MY PSN cards online as no one is selling them... online, yet.

Samsung Spinpoint M6 500GB are the most suitable HDD for PS3....

I prefer WD Scorpio.

what ever I put in, PS3 reads it fine. hell yeah.

guys, any sellers selling the new Ubisoft western game? Price as well?

Heard it got delayed till next Tuesday.

need help...
all my friends list are gone after i updated 2.80ver..
is this normal?

No it's not normal.
Reconnect to a different IP add, then log in again.

Goto account management, press triangle, select "Comment", erase everything there and try it again, your list will come back after that. This has happened on previous firmware versions too.

it used to happen to me.
sign in and the list doesnt appear.
yet people can message and see me online no problem

resigning into psn worked for me

Oh in the newest 2.80 firmware "Comment" appears when you triangle over your user avatar in the friends list instead of in Account management where it used to be in version 2.6 and stuff.
So just clear your comments and then log back in and it should be fixed. Known bug from previous fw releases that still hasn't been fixed.

thanks i'll try it later...
