Hello,

I saw this new topic today, been thinking of getting PS3, would buying a used, YLOD one, then repair it a good way to getting it?

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1256456
*
once ylod occurred... the console is considered RIP... repair and the symptom will come again, not worth it

preferably for a piece of mind, get new set instead

does the ps3 we buy from sony come with the cable with 5 pin or 3 pin?
and whats the diffrence?

And if i plug in the HDMI cable,  i dun nd plug in AV cable?
*

inside the ps3 package normally we have the av cable, its a standard composite cable, on display standard resolution... crt tv

user posted image
for component cables, sold separately - its an HD cable, supporting up to 1080p..

for picture quality, component is better than composite

of coz if u take account of hdmi

hdmi > component > composite

Hi guys, my PS3 cannot boot to the profile.
It just hang after the ps3 logo only shows the background.
Firmware is 3.15
Anyone ever experience such problem?

How to Access Playstation Recovery Menu:
1 Turn off Playstation 3 (standby)
2 Hold The power button until it goes in standby again
3 Repeat step 2 this time it will beep once for display setting change then it will follow with 2 beeps
4 when you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button
5 you will be prompted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button
6. The Recovery menu will pop up.

Check this 1st

check the front of FAQ...

as ps3 can output sound thru AV cable provided (2 channel stereo) to the speaker set system. (check settings in XMB)

I already did the recovery and lost my save games due to this problem.  vmad.gif
After the recovery, I noticed that it was OK for a while.  After leaving it to download some DLC and auto off.  When power back ON this morning, then the symptom is back again.

It's confirmed to be hard disk corrupt problem after following the steps shown by shahreza2000

It's time to bring it to the SONY Center.
*
Sorry to hear that. If the hdd corrupted, most of the savegames will get corrupted.

Its good that its still under warranty.

registration of the trophy information could not be completed.The game will quit (80022D03) 

anyone hv encounter that error before?  i cant play my  mw2 ,  everytime i try ,  it will come out that error. i need to press X to quit the game.  i heard its a bug with trophy sync.  i updated my fw to 3.15.   

search around the net , cant find an answer to this.  just some half hearted forum thread with no real substance or resemblance to an answer for my predicaments.

thanks in advance guys and gal.

can you delete the game data, reinstall it again?... also restart ps3 afterwards...

the error still new... many ppl suffered in games like fifa10, mw2...etc

But it seems i read it's Geforce 7800GTX ? ( someone can correct this ? )
I'm just doubtful whether it'll disappoint me or not when i get a PS3 cause i heard some games which have bad graphics due to the games or something like that.

and most importantly I'm about 3/4 years late getting this console ; LOL.

Anyone can encourage me in buying one ?

the gfx is beyond whats on pc atm ... take on uncharted 2

i'm from pc gaming to ps3... one reason: no budget for hi-end pc

ps3 ftw for years to come thumbup.gif

How much does a PSN account cost ? Have to pay once or monthly ?
But so far I'm able to play Fully maxed RE5 , wonder it's worst/better in PS3 ?

psn acc = free
online gaming = free

There's other games that are much enjoyable, to play online..

high-end requirement is one thing for pc... sometimes game crashes due to this and that error (very buggy)

Anyone else hyped about the possible use of MLAA in future PS3 titles? unsure.gif

Got a few simulated shots (PS3 screens processed to look like MLAA) and they look fantastic.

Granted, there is some extra blur, but the results are definitely worth it.

(Will post the shots later when at home biggrin.gif )

Seeing as the RSX doesn't seem to handle 2xMSAA in most multiplats very well, MLAA is a godsend.

This might even overcome the 0xAA with UE3 issues in the past.

Maybe games running on the (rubbish) UE3 on the PS3 could implement AA with this without a performance hit.  drool.gif
*
its up to the developers to implement it....we'll see if future titles do have it or not

" i can't login using another id" ... anybody knows why ?

one psn id = one email address

multiple psn accounts = multiple emails address

forgot to add

create NEW USER

each USER = psn id = email address

by having multiple users, meaning multiple psn id (thats y we have to maintain those email addresses)

sony keep sending newsletters to each of our email addresses...keep tracking it..

You need to do portforward or DMZ (all these settings have be done in the router)

the router block the connection, thus PS network failed to connect...
