QUOTE(xanax @ Jan 2 2010, 01:00 AM) i think my PSN acc is the asian is there a way for me to visit the U.S PS store. Create another psn account, a US account to access US PSN store. Added on January 2, 2010, 2:04 pmQUOTE(NightShadow @ Jan 2 2010, 12:20 PM) hi there all. how do you reckon that i use the 'PS3. ProxyServer (no installation, new enhanced version) by 3r1c' to download game updates or patches? the instructions in the faq seem to only cater to those using 'PS3.ProxyServer (vista/64bit compatible version)' perhaps adding instructions for the one by 3r1c to the FAQ would help too. i still prefer ps3 proxy server GUI (CF3B5).... The one by 3r1c is, perhaps i need to do some tutorial on it... anyone care to do some for Windows 7? This post has been edited by shahreza2000: Jan 2 2010, 02:04 PM

QUOTE(NightShadow @ Jan 2 2010, 02:31 PM) this site does a very good job in demonstrating how it works. http://www.ps3blog.co.za/guides/how-to-dow...es-via-your-pc/should probably be added to the FAQ?  that guide is very useful.... aldy added to FAQ last time round, or mentioned be4 edit: thx vorchiel... lets update FAQ more... @vorchiel - Cf3b5 ps3MSGUI still works on windows7 flawlessly?

QUOTE(streamline @ Jan 3 2010, 05:54 PM) want to ask, is it fine to turn on wireless on ps3 while gaming? i know by doing this you can get the trophy update and stuff, but it wont shorten the lifetime of the console right? some shop claims it would heat up and encourage to switch off the wireless when gaming for hours.. hope someone can clarify to me. its PS3 Slim. funny advice... maybe they should turn off theirs seriously its a crappy advice... try to scare customer ooo

QUOTE(Bahir. @ Jan 4 2010, 12:04 AM) Hey guys, im in serious need of help..my brother had set up the PSN account in his name but has now forgotten the password..worst still,he has also forgotten the password of the email account it is registered to,meaning that ive refreshed the password via PSN but they've sent the new password to the email account that its registered to! Ive looked around online and i keep coming back to formating the PS3, but that would mean losing all the save game files..is there really no workaround..? No way to delete the PSN account or create a new one for the PS3 machine.? I asked the guy at the Sony store in Megamall and he recommended i buy the RM100 PSN card..would that work.? Or is he simply an idiot who doesnt know what he's talking about and is hoping for a sale..?? HELP!! you need to create new psn account, which means you need to create new email address. on ps3, you just create new user, login with the new psn id+password
