QUOTE(gnsumas @ Sep 3 2009, 09:30 PM) I have 2 PS3s already. But the Slim is very tempting. ...then... i think the question you posed was one that should be flamed. haha... if you have 2 ps3s. then get a 360. simple decision. |

QUOTE(gnsumas @ Sep 3 2009, 09:45 PM) Thing is... I am trying to collect all the major hardware revisions, but I scared I buy 360, turn to jack sparrow well if you are a collector then buy the ps3.... The collector thing is exactly what is my problem. Maybe its an obsessive thing, but Slim really calling to me. The 360 games are from my old Zephyr (3ROD 9 times). All ori somemore. since you are already collecting them you might as well complete the collection rather than start upon a new collection of systems in which you would have to purchase older models to even start building the collection. |

i dun understand the use of the O being cancel for other consoles. i mean... popular culture shows us.
X means NO O means...OFF.... they should make an "1" button. |

QUOTE(uberlebender @ Sep 8 2009, 12:12 AM) Hi there people of the forum, i have a question here regarding PS3 network ...i think the problem is the malaysian isp's not so much psn. but i guess if you are basing it off orange box which is damn old then yes im sure there have been improvements in the way packets are routed through psn. some games still experience severe lag. it tends to vary game to game.i have bought a PS3 before and sold it off because i was unable to play Orange Box on it because the server was too laggy. i was wondering since the release of PS3 Slim their sales is going up. how is their service now? if i bought a game to play online will it be as smooth as silk game play? or rock hard? thanx for ur help! |

I don't understand ler =_=..... just turn on your ps3 and make sure it works. there is no "special" technique. im not sure what you were expecting. Lemme repeat... Question: What should i do after the electric restore from sudden blackout? Step 1: Turn on the main power at the back. And then press eject button before turn on the system. Step 2: Turn on the system, wait for the XMB loading and then eject the disc. Help Help |

QUOTE(tsubasa89 @ Oct 19 2009, 06:21 PM) guys anyone have problem taht your ps3 sometimes restart when you quit game? the first one: this happens to me only when the ps3 is busy doing something and i switch it off. sometimes when its trying to load an online map or something like this and takes too long i give up and switch off. and sometimes when you on the ps3 it goes into reset and ask me whether i wanna use hdmi input as default again  the second: happens to me a few times already. i dont think its any problem. someone might have simply unplugged the ps3 or something went wrong and it cleared the cache. |

if you are buying it soon then wait for the official ps3 slim MY set. if you cant wait then go buy the phat ps3 because got MY warranty. I think the slim ones are still SG sets.

QUOTE(Ifrits @ Oct 21 2009, 01:26 AM) Hey guys. I have a problem with my ps3. and i taught of asking u guys, see if anyone knows whats the solution to my problem. Would really want to know if its my connection's the problem or my playstaion 3 harddisk or my router or etc. its probably your connection. i mean does fat princess hang while playing offline or any other games for that matter? i had that problem before. esp with TMnet. i doubt its your HDD since the same thing happens while you are DLing using proxy. of course it could also just be your router or modem. but i would blame TM as a whole heheh. Okay, sometimes when I download a demo from psn, I could say almost 60% of my download will end up corrupted. or mayb 70%. Corrupted as in, 1. when its downloading up tp a certain percentage and it says "error in somethisn something" OR 2. when its 100% downloaded and starts to INSTALL to a certain percentage and the "error" thingy came up. Up till now, i cant install Uncharted 2, batman demo. I tried using proxy but its also the same. Depends on my luck. Its quiet frustrating at times, having to wait so long for the download only to end up being a corrupted files. Another one is when I'm playing fatprincess online, I will get hangged in the middle of my game and i cant even exit by pressing my ps button which made me forcefully restart my ps3. (almost like the "lbp hang" but in lbp, its not so frequent but in fatprincess, it is.) I kinda got a feeling its my connection but my friend says it could be my harddisk and he advice me to reformat my hdd. But with all the saved game/"succesfully downloaded demo/movies in my hdd, its hard.  So anyone here experince my probs?  Thank you.  p/s: My tmnet package is the 1mbps wired and i'm using a d-link router. i could either go wireless or wired(but i normally prefer wired when i'm downloading stuff) i think its a good idea to reformat your hdd anyways if you have the time. spend some money and upgrade to a bigger drive. you can backup all your games/demos and all that on a seperate drive. as long as that drive is in fat32 format. |

QUOTE(shanecross @ Oct 24 2009, 05:16 PM) Hey guys, I have a 40gb japan set ps3. I heard that blu-rays are regional. What region of blu-ray can I watch on my ps3? If I rent a blu ray in Australia, can I watch it using my ps3? your set would be region A blu ray. and australia is region B so no you cannot just randomly rent blu rays in australia. but check on the back of the case, some blu rays are region free. you can rent those if they have them available. |

...i think u2 can stay away from my ps3... even u1 caused screaming mode.
 but i really prefer games that install onto the HDD, i think all games should give the user the option. then can be less strenuous on the drive and the ps3. |
